  • Where did any of you guys get that it was a Chevy engine in his Merc??? If any of you car experts New at all what you were talking about you would know that it is a FORD!!!!!! Ford 302's were used in mustangs and all ford and merc. models.

  • Wow, that is one nice engine you got there. I hope the new owner takes care of it the way you did. Great piece of machinery. Love your project too!

  • what is the matter with this guy? ruining this car by swapping out the flathead with a Chevy 302 is insane

  • What an idiot, ruining this car. Why not take a hacksaw and chop the top while you're at it?

  • Well the inbreeder finally fucked up such a fine car !!! hope he croaks --

    and new owner --puts reliable engine back in -- flattie power is the way to go!

  • dude is a good salesman, shits on my for sale vid.

  • thats SWEET

  • hey do you know what year the flat heads came with stock aluminum heads and how much they cost?

  • Totally agree -- It is utter madness to replace this fine old cherry flattie for a chevy 302; The car will NEVER be as rare, collectable, stylish, valuable, dependable or interesting again. WHAT is the fool thinking? He ALREADY has another fine hot-rod to mess with that he can make a 2nd cruiser, why mess with success? It makes NO Nada Zero sense.

    Then again, some hot-rodder likely made a fine score, tho prob having to shell out what, $2-3000? Wonder what it did sell for.

  • @starmanskye it's a ford 302

  • @mikelwhitlock yea was thinking the same thing none of my mustangs run a chevy 302?? never even herd of that

  • @sada3393 there is a chevy 302, it's a de-stroked 327.. very potent engine, ran in some camaro's

  • @starmanskye 302 is a ford motor!

  • I'd trust that old flathead with my life! I once drove a 54 (Canadian) Ford Flathead for four hours straight, flat out, on Montana interstate.

  • I'll just sell the 302 and keep the flat head. Why fix it if it ain't broken?

  • id love to have a flathead to just build on a stand

  • That is one nice engine.

  • i got a ford flathead 4 cylinder in my 8n you got a nice motor

  • i am selling my 1984 ford bronco 2 that has a new engine i need to sell this asap Please message me if you want it! It is in cali.

  • I inhereted a 1950 ford 2 door from my grandmother a few years back. I had the motor and transmission rebuilt and the car painted. I drove just a month ago from california to washington, and that old flattie did a good job at 60mph in overdrive. now some here in spokane just wave and thumbs up when they see

    my ford going down the road. this man shouls keep his in the car, it will make the trip, just keep oil on hand as they like to eat some at times.

  • These old dudes love to throw away flatheads for chevy 350s. Shame. Hmmm actually every time someone puts a flathead out of an original car it makes my flathead ford worth more. So... go for it.

  • Hare2112-- You hit it DEAD ON- read my last- reply-It is always the inbreeder that f@#ks- up a fine old car. As of this week i drove - a 50 merc-coupe home with my uncle following- with a trailer-40-coupe-ford-49-cad-s­lant back the old bastard that had these DIED before- he f@#ked up these fine cars- the merc drove- back to Tennessee 1,473 miles no sweat-!As of 2-6-08 i have rescued 71old cars-28-are ford flatheads-all this since 2006-(the 40 ford- has the rare elko heads )---!!!!
  • I'd trust that flattie more than a 302. Granted the 302 is a good motor, you just can't beat a good running flathead.

  • Leave it alone! That car needs that flathead, and that flathead needs that car!

  • beautiful

  • i would love to buy this car with the flathead

    and drive it back to tennessee and save it -

    from this inbreeder- at least i can give it

    a better home with my other 15--flathead

    powered cars-- all this car needs- 1-upgrade-

    brakes-2- Scott- blower- thats all-keep it

    old school-- leave message if car is for sale--hey im a old fuck-with money-and brains! I-

    know how to treat old tin!!!!!!!!

  • hell yeah! this guy is awesome.. someone on earth still understands true passion.

  • excellent runner.

  • It would be the absolute height of stupidity to take a rare surving car like this and butching it up removing the flathead engine and replacing it with a run of the mill 302.

    This car is too nice to be chopped up and you should know that.

  • Correct my last to read butcher it up, which

    is what your plans call for.

  • this old fuck has money-and no brains-hope he drops dead before he fucks up this fine car--he has a perfect cruiser- with that fresh flattie-i would drive it anywhere- i agree with (1musiclvr) this is one stupid old fart--this is why i dont sell my old tin too many inbreeders with no sense of history- or going old school--with minor mods- but keep original engine--we just returned from thanksgiving trip --me in my 40 ford- 9 hours both ways--no sweat!
  • I had a 53 ford in High school, those car's are worse than old out board motors and just reliable a cheep hore. Their Hell when their well but do suck. The new motor will have electronic ignition

  • nice...would be a shame to separate the flattie that has survived and moved that car for so long though, would be like rewriting the Declaration of Independence on a new sheet of paper, it would be easier to read but not nearly as interesting

  • this man sounds like a wealth of information, bravo to all things old school!

  • really cool! VERY hard to find running flat head Fords. Everyone ripped them out and put "modern" Chevy (or Ford) engines in them. I'm curious, why not keep the car "original" with the engine you have now? Nice car!

  • yeah i agree i have a 47 ford truck that i am restoring atm no way am i guna take the beautiful flathead away from it they need eachother
