After failing to get our 100 year old engine running in our 1927 Ford Model T it is time to pull the tired old motor out as well as clean it up and remove the fenders and inspect how much rust we are going to have to repair. Let's make a Model T a race car! What engine do you think we should put in it?

You need to look for an old fighter/bomber drop tank and make a racer out of it...
What would be neat is to put the falcon 200ci engine and tranny in it.
You guys should take that model a body off of that frame and put the body down on a Ford ranger truck frame with 5 lug wheels and drop a small block v8 Ford engine
Cue the “you ruined it” people
“Hey Ma Puddin just told Sleeperdude to ruin his museum piece Ford”!!😅 Just kidding I’d love to see you guys do a video together cruising your cars.
This family has once again captivated my senses for another hour or so. I hope y'all know how much I appreciate what you do. One great family.
I’ve got a Blower manifold for a flathead ford laying around my shop. Will have to look for it.
Well said!
Poor Squeeze. trying to keep both parents happy with her footwear choices!! 🤣
🤣
Aftermarket chassis with an old school V8 flathead would be super cool!
Definitely a flathead would suit this car just fine.
Squeeze is wearing one flipflop and one crock. Real traits of a true artist
You are half-way to a TROG build - find a running Model A or flat head, add some pre war go fast parts, fix the rust and dust in the patches, hand paint some numbers of the doors, and take her up to Wildwood and race it on the beach! it would be a quick, inexpensive, period build that will get a lot of attention.
Beware the cleaning process. Dalton from Pole Barn Garage ended up in the hospital after cleaning a particularly dirty vehicle from breathing the dust off and airborne materials.
Yep
Everything got lead paint of that era known 3 body tech dye from painting lacquer show cars burnt there brains
@@imtonedeaf1 mouse and rat droppings do a lot of damage also.
I was so interested in motors and vehicles when I was a teenager and didn’t have a dad to teach me anything. Ralphie an your kids are very lucky, your a great father figure to them. I wish I had someone to teach me everything you’ve taught your kids.
Interestingly My mom(100) a month ago, got her license at 14.. she had to make her own plate. Her Dad had a Pontiac,Hudson dealership. This was in Nova Scotia Canada.
That’s amazing
Aftermarket chassis with modern steering, brakes and suspension, manual turbo coupe powertrain with a 9 inch Ford rear, Painless wiring kit, bodywork and high gloss black paint with flames for that old school look with the turbo 4. This will be a fun car.
Ellie is such a sweet dog! She's probably my favorite of all your dogs.
She’s very smart
Another great show. Can’t wait to see what you do next to the old car. Glad to see all the animals. Just love you all. Have a blessed week. Stay well Ralphie 🥰
Just did three oil changes and swapping brake pads. Today’s been maintenance day. Yesterday surprised-ish mom with her early Christmas gift of a set of tires on her jeep. She needed it bad and her and dad couldn’t afford it right now. Finally splurged and bought a good oil drain pan and idk how I didn’t buy one before
The way Squeez's Jeep has the sides going one way and the ends going another is melting my brain
My old craftsman tool set came with a set of 5 square drive sockets, where they look like 8 sided sockets. I use them for random stuff, where regular sockets don’t work, but never worked on an actual square nut. The square drive sockets probably used to be really common in mechanics sets.
And I know speedway sells model T frames, fully boxed rails, for pretty cheap, like $500. But you have to do all the mounts and measuring yourself.
I've got my Dad's vintage Snap on 8 point socket set for square nuts. What's funny is they don't work on regular nuts and bolts
I am in the final steps to getting my ‘27 T Coupe Hot Rod road ready. I purchased a Speedy Motors frame kit, it fits perfectly. It has several different motor/trans combos. As well as front spindle selection, brake combo, front axle, steering box and 4 link suspension. It makes for smooth driving vehicle. Worth the money, I have driven a few rat rods and they are a hand full.
Awesome thanks
It’s crazy how entertaining you can be while keeping it real.
Thank you
That is why this is my favorite channel
I see the fake/O.F. profiles are everywhere
@@itsmephil2255 what is o.f profiles ?
You should think about finding an f150 or a mustang recked and get you a cheap coyote set up@Sleeperdude
Any color you want as long as it’s black only applies to the really old model T’s. This was due to the black paint would dry faster and it held up better. A few years into production paint technology advanced enough that they were offered in quite a few different colors. Red is completely possible as an original color.
I learned this when I went to the Henry Ford museum myself standing right next to the 15 millionth model T, there was an employee there giving information about it. He was also explaining how stuff worked using the cut away in the same building.
I'd like to see you make it pretty and paint it up with the flames like the guys used to do in the 50s.
👍
I second the nice paint with old school flames.
Almost 100 that’s hard to believe. Nothing made in this day and age will be as good as that in a hundred year’s awesome car.
For sure 👍
I forgot that today was Saturday until my wife said we could watch this video in the bedroom . Its warmer in there than in the front room . 😅😅😅
Awesome
Are you sure that's what she meant? Women are do hard to figure out.😮
@@TABrown-xh7xc yeah 100 percent. I got her hooked on watching sleeperdude.
Getting old is tough..... ask me how I know
What happened to the other pig?
Never seen y'all smoke but my dad used an old piston like that as an ashtray on his office desk, in the garage. It was neat. Just talking out loud . Love yuns videos, and it's awesome how you are raising them youngens.
Sleeperdude and a UT Vols game at the same time. Thankful for Attention Deficit Disorder.
That’s funny
Honestly, it's nice enough to return to stock. I'd find another one to hack up and customize.
Making Saturday's Great Again!!
Thanks
I forgot today was Sunday, but I’m just a friendly guy and I watch your videos every day
Get you an 8 volt tractor battery it won't hurt it and it will start faster
Installing an 8 volt was a common thing back in the day
👍
Any square nuts you might need are easy to make. Cut, say, 3/16" sections from 3/8" square steel rod. Then drill and thread a hole through the center of your new square nut. Also. Eight point sockets are better suited for them.
1:03:54 that horn probably works fine. What I bet is going on is dirty contacts on the inside. Luckily from what I see in the video, it can be opened up so you can probably easily fix it!
Ok thanks
You guys are great! Such a treasure as a family doing this. You both are great parents and always have great content no matter what you all are doing. Making it fun! Great job!
You can make a frame in the old c cannel frame. And keep the old look.
A 60x40 millimeter steel.
Definitely think it needs a 2.3L turbo 4 cyl backed with a 4 or 5 speed manual. Possibly add a 8" rear end.
@joaniecampbell6413 Diesel 2.3 ltr
I've found if you hook a drill up to the hood pins you can get them out a lot easier. A little PB Blaster don't hurt either
I totally forgot it's Sleeperdude Saturday ... get in there! Shout out from the U.K. once again - thanks for all the amazing videos!
Awesome thank you
Love history. My home is from the yr 1910, always learning the history. I have Ford wrenches that will work on this car.
This model T has became one of favorite builds from you . I'd love to see a 2.3 turbo engine build with a 5 sp ... specially in this that'd be cool . So many people cut them and put v8's in them I'm a fan of something different.
Ok thanks
The tilt out windshield is like "cowl induction" for the passengers. 😅 I'd build a rod similar to what Mortske has, black steelies with whitewalls (or blackwalls) and a Ford inline 4, like a donor one from a Pinto or something. 👍 Just suggestions, of course. Good job guys! And once again, big shout out to Marge for her awesome camera work. 👍👍📽 Thanks for sharing!!
Ok thanks
Hey Josh just do it your way not like everybody else's way.
Thank you
@@Sleeperdudeyeah with a 2.3 turbo😅
Ooo wee this is going to be a multi multi video build! Look forward to seeing it back on the road!
Thank you
Yay! hope Y'all are feeling better
Yes!!
oh cool! I just noticed that is all ready a Midship mounted engine. (like a corvette). because even though the engine is in the front-end rear axels
No power here for 4 days and only 1 bar of cell service, BUT miraculously I am just now able to stream your video from UA-cam! What a gift! Have not been able to get UA-cam for days@
I worked in a bolt factory back in the late 80s called Cardinal fasteners and we were still making some square nuts.
Ayyy sleeper dude on my bday couldn’t ask for a better present!
Happy birthday 🎊
@ thank you I hope you guys have a great weekend
I love the 3rd picture with the green body and red hoops.
👍
My preference would be a turbocharged 2.3L with a 5-speed and an aftermarket chassis.
Of course, it would also need improved front suspension and a 9-inch out back.
👍
@25:45 thru @26:05,, Thank you Josh. Keeping that old body as it always has been is awesome. A few period correct mods would be OK but Henry had a good idea when these rolled off the assembly line.
For sure
Boss made me take off today I’m not used to waiting for a sleeper dude on Saturday. Usually trying to hurry home and get situated
Awesome
Scrapes and the large paint delete are from a belt buckle reaching over to put gas in it and defrosting by wiping the windows.
Clawhammers and hillbillies, ya gotta lov'em!!
🤣
Scott at Cold War Motors up in Canada knows a lot about model T's. He owns one that he has "restored" and helps with a fun model T race every year.
Ok thanks
SLEEPERDUDE SATURDAYY
Yes!
@@SleeperdudeJosh every pic you showed as the ones you like have a chopped roof. I think if you don’t chop the roof it will be like sitting in a low fish tank or green house. That’s just a lot of tall glass…
Josh! What are you feeding those kids! They're all shooting up overnight! Ralph is nearly as tall as you and he's just getting started. Love your family. ❤
Can't wait to see what you do with it. I think it will be great no matter what you do to it. I have faith in y'all.
Thank you
@54:00 I learned this lesson working on my 1970 VW Bus. Laying on the concrete garage floor, I made contact with a wrench between the starter and chassis. Not only did I get an electrical shock, but the starter made the van move!!!
The mother of my girl friend back in the day told me a story from when she was a kid. She was riding in the rumble seat on a dirt road when she said they passed one of the wheels of the car that had come of as they were driving along.
That’s funny
I was sure hoping that you would bring it back original being a piece of automotive history but that’s OK. I believe it’s gonna be cool.
Tell Wawa she needs to keep her eyes covered in safety glasses . You well know the rust in eyes not good .
For sure
Watch your ears working under all that rust too. I had a piece of rust fall in my ear while working on a rusty jeep Scary stuff
Looking forward to seeing more of this car. I like the idea of leaving the top tall. This is going to be very interesting.
Sleeperdude and family time in Tennessee. God bless you all
Yes thank you
@Sleeperdude ur welcome
Hello my dear friends, I am glad to see you, you are a great family.
My favorite day of the week Sleeperdude day.
Thank you
Good video family, can't wait to see what it's gonna look like when it's finished. 👍
Get er done!
Yes!!
impossible
Theirs so many different ways you can go with that thing. Either way I’m sure it’ll be a cool build!
we need some t bird murch
👍👍
Squeeze reminds of me of a modern-day Punky Brewster with her choice of Footwear ☺ I can remember my grandpa show up in his 1959 Chevrolet Kingswood wagon with the rear-facing back seat, us kids would always fight to see who got to sit in the back ....good times🙂oh, and nice catch Wa with the soda pop bottle
Team granny. It’s show time.
Yes
The best statement in this entire video is " Sounds like my back" LMAO I felt that!
With bad weather here in the north east what’s a guy to do of course go back and watch Sleeperdude videos. 👍
Thank you
Svo 2.3l 5 speed transmission with a 450 lift solid cam. 500 cfm Holly carb. You can stroke the 2.3 to a 2650 and will put out over 300hp with the Svo aluminum head and intake with thunder valley header. I use to race a mini modified dirt car . The 8.8 rear from a mustang and the front clip from a pinto will work great on coil over Shocks at all 4 corners. 308 or 345 in the rear gear. By the was, always ck the exhaust pipes and exhaust manifold for being stopped up/ plugged before trying to start old engine that has been setting. It will hit but Wil never run. 1350 pounds.
👍
Quality 👌
Thanks
I know a guy who turned one into a mad Max style car. Just kept the wrecked look of it and made it "go real fast".
From Yonkers New York sending you guys love I love the show🇺🇲 real American family
Thank you
Merlin from Merlin's Old School Garage knows alot about early Fords.
You have the makings of a
Herman Muster Drag Wagon !!! Then the whole family can ride, fantastic parade car !!!
Yes!
You guys sure work great together? That was a whole lot of work taking that Model t apart . It sure looks bare now.. Great job you guys.. Looking good.. You guys are my number one UA-cam channel... Again?
A great job until I see you in the next video.👍🙂🙏🏻
I watch your "road trip" videos during the week.
I never get bored with them.
Central California watching
Thank you!!!!
Minnesota here but i also lived in San Jose Ca for 4 years
I like your idea of installing a 4cyl. 2.0 or 2.3l Lima engines love turbos! In the thought of SVO Mustangs, they were light and peppy, don't need a lot of room. Your ideas are great, looking forward to this one and the Maverick. If the Maverick had a 300, it would be an insane torque monster, especially if you visit Clifford performance. Offenhauser has some parts to make a 3hundy Radical. Eg... Dual plane 4bbl aluminum intake by Offenhauser, 390cfm vac secondary Holley 4bbl, Hedman full length dual output header, Mallory ignition or MSD. BTW F-250 and F350 6cyls had flat top pistons from factory.
Yeah would be cool
Awesome glad to see a sleeperdude video today always Awesome to see what your whole family gets into 🎉❤
Yep, the advert on where you can drive that old car was probably a selling point to let people know what it can do, the thing is tho it probably could still get stuck depending on how wet or mucky that dirt or field was or on any other road surface too, lol
You should get ahold of Merlin from Merlin's old school garage on You Tube. He collects this stuff and restores them. He seems to know everything about these old jems. Who knows he might even give you some good ideas. Awesome video as always.
I'm thinking of a frame swap with either a Pinto or Fairmont drivetrain. All of the look without too much cook!
👍
Still my favorite channel on UA-cam! From family to content, it's a moment of peace and relaxation during my otherwise hectic day. Thanks Sleeperdude Family.
Thank you I’m glad you like it
Those little wood boxes are called buzz boxes, for spark
👍👍
This is going to be different.
Yes!
Back "in tha day" (mid 1960's) we called these 'a TALL Tee'. This one looks awesome!
Thank you
Hello Sleeperdude family
Hello there!
Build a 445 Stroker FE Ford for it. Take a truck block from a F100-F250 (Not F350 because a lot of those were 332). Have it machined and bored for a Scat stroker kit 4.25” stroke. Get some used aluminum heads and have a valve job done and buy a Triple Deuce Intake for it.
👍👍
I think Gary is the best new addition to any UA-cam channel ❤
Sleeperdude is the 🐐 of YT
Looking good
Thanks 👍
One of the neetest looking motors ive seen in a vintage car like this is gm's quad four. Stripped down and cleaned up they look wicked. And run awsome also.
We been waiting
Kitties goats and big blocks... and Model Ts
Absolutely
An ecoboost 4 cyl with a T5 transmission would be right up your alley, being turbocharged and all.
I was thinking a 2.3 Ford with a 5 speed
👍👍
Any 4 cylinder
Turbo
In another week I'm get ready rebuild my motor on my 2011 sentra
New head new rod bearings new head and everything and new cams and valves all put together
Wow
Oh Yeah!
👍
Think I would use the aftermarket frame with late model steering and suspension, then a fairly late model V-6 setup with automatic transmission (over drive) with the cruiser look. Very awesome and very street able for the use of all your fam individually or together! ❤
For me, I like the traditional hot rod look
