1965 Ranchero Cam Revival! Taking the noise out of the valvetrain & making more POWER!!

- On today's video, we're working on one of the original cars for this channel, the 65 Ford Ranchero that we got in Greeley, CO and drove across the country on Route 66. Dad stopped driving it because of some valvetrain noise, and today we're putting a new cam/lifters/timing chain in the car and fixing some major issues with the top end.

Follow you for the Corvair content (I have a '61 Lakewood wagon) but I have also owned a '61 Ranchero with the rare Dagenham 4 speed and a '64 Falcon. Ironic that you bobbled the car name, "Corva...", Ranchero." I was doing some testing on the Lakewood today and twice bobbled reaching between the seats to select Drive..., and then remembered the shift lever is on the dash. Glad you got to help your dad, it is almost Father's Day.
I’m so used to working on the Corvair lately and totally goofed the video, but thought it was funny and kept it in there.
I’d LOVE to get a Lakewood for the channel…maybe someday! I always love working with my dad when I can, unfortunately not as often as I’d like.
Nice video! Glad to see you helping your dad out, I wish I could do that.
I love getting to spend time with my dad when I can
Sweet little ride your dad has. It's nice that you can afford the time to go home and spend time with your dad. One day he will be gone and the opportunity will be gone as well.
It's a neat little car and by far his favorite in the fleet. I treasure the time I get to spend with my dad
Cool Ute , that series wasnt available here so its fascinating to get up and close with one . We had the XM Falcon ute at the same time this was released.
It's basically the American version of a ute. It's his favorite ride and always talks about how practical it is.
The difference is most Aussie falcons had the straight Six , over the V8 to begin with but by the late 60's the 8 was available.
Shawn, I had the same problem with the oil drain plug leaking and wouldn't tighten on my 302. The parts store has a slightly larger drain plug that is self taping and no need to weld or pull the pan. I did it to my hot rod several years ago and still today it's perfect.....just info to consider....Good video, Thanks!
I think he's already replaced the oil pan with a new one, but if that comes up again that's good to know!
Great video, awesome that you're getting to spend quality time with your dad! Memphis is a great town too, last time I was there they had a Cars on Beale Street show.
Its amazing that someone thought that Brass hardware would live in the valvetrain. Did you use a set of standard crimp nuts or upgrade to Polylocks? I'm currently putting a new engine in my 67 Ranchero that I have owned since 1980. This makes me want to get moving!
We ended up keeping the nuts and using a new grade 8 steel locknut to hold it in place. If we need to go back into the valve train again, I’ll change the nuts to polylocks or something like that.
hey Sean thanks for the update on the Ranchero! 😄😉You should should do a video on the 66 Thunderbird that is my favorite car! question, when you replaced the gas tank on the tbird was it necessary to remove the black filler neck cover it the trunk? I plan on replacing the gas tank. Can I remove the filler neck tube without removing anything in the trunk?
Hi, thanks for kind words. When the tank was replaced I did have to remove the cover but it wasn’t that big of a deal. Hope we can make a video on this car again soon
I think you found the smoking gun at 11:25 😂
Yeah, I agree. Bubba's been working on the car before we got it...I'm honestly shocked it ran for years like this!
Your Dad still got the 66 Tbird?
Yes!
