I weep with you, for all the wonders and sights, sounds and smells that I'll never get to experience! I was born 10-20 years too late, seeing the things in that museum, I see the 60's, 70's and 80's were some of THE MOST INCREDIBLE Years of invention and innovation for the internal combustion engine! I could live in that Museum for years and still have not had enough time for my curiosity to wander through and see EACH and EVERY one of those incredible Engines!! Belt driven Direct-Fuel injection?!? Single and dual overhead cam?!? A Guy that designed & Built an overhead cam SBC HIMSELF for a dirt track race car?!?! And people these days can't hardly screw in a lightbulb or put together a piece of freaking furniture from IKEA, WITH DIRECTIONS! 🤣🤣🤣 I believe there IS NO School like the Old School!!!

70 yrs here and building my last hotrod going old school Big Block Chevy 540 with a intercooler 10-71 with carbs. Staying with what I know and the music Hooker Super Comp headers make ! Hard to believe BBC is like flat head Ford motors was to us dieing out on the street. I will be driving this ride to Kroger for groceries every week. Figure this one may out last me. Took 11 months to get parts with all billet and forged plus Teflon strip seal in the billet blower. Figure if government wants to mess with our gas and freedom then I can always make my own alcohol and keep driving maybe even with less people on the road.....lol. Got a barn full of corn just in case!!! Hotrods forever and as we say on the south..."the government can kiss our grits" !!! Just little sad for the youth will miss what we enjoyed. Like drive in theaters, real food when beef was meat and you could buy 115 octane down the street.

What are you talking about old man? Hot Rodding is alive and well, they'll never silence us.

@@woopyass Great to hear !!!!

@@stephenmitchell3569 I'm still tinkering with a pet project. A '71 International Harvester 1210 3/4 ton pickup. Long bed, step side, standard cab....just like stock. What isn't stock is the '71 Lincoln MkIII 460 and C-6 that's between the frame rails. 10.5 to 1 compression(stock), Holley EFI on a remade Weiand manifold with port injection, Hedman headers with a single O2 sensor on each side, Comp Cams mild(sic!) cam, mildly ported heads, Accel ignition, Dodge Dana 70 rear end with 4.10 gears, etc, etc.... Still working on stopping the thing! Having to make up custom disc brake stuff to fit the IH i-beam front suspension. Looking at Dodge 13 inch rotors with Chevy calipers...but.... I'm soon to be 71, just hope I last long enough to drive it...!

Funny you mention this, I just watched a video of an interview with Ed. He explained how he got started. Very interesting. Thanks for the comment Thomas.

@@MidwestCarLife~ What seems odd to me about those cylinder heads is that the fabricator, possibly Ed himself chose to leave the exhaust valves in the block when it is the constricted exhaust savaging properties of Henry's design that limits it's potential. That is why you cannot drive a Ford V-8 flathead on the later to come Interstate Highway system that it was never designed for, it will overheat every time. In the late 1940's Zora Arkus Duntov, later of Corvette fame came up with a much better OHV conversion design for the ford block that is still available commercially. Don Garlits speculates that MoPar's R&D in the early 1950's likely "stole" Duntov's design for their magnificent "Hemi" because he notes that the intake manifold bolt pattern of the "Ardun" (Duntov's design) and MoPar's 1953 Hemi is a match. But the flathead block has only three main bearings and the Chrysler Hemi, five. Iskenderian's "Gow Job" goes to show that REAL Hot Rods" always have a story to tell...

@@ThomasDeLello Wow, that’s some awesome info Thomas. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Halabrand, Edelbrock. Tracy Engeneering, first 10,000 RPM Small Block Chevy V8. More probably, Shelby was in Venice, Andy Granitelli had a shop in Santa Monica and Venice.

I grew up in Culver City so we had several manufacturers nearby. We had Isky, Doug's Headers and Hedman Headers,

Yeah, I know Buick made the nailhead. Not sure why I said Pontiac. Oh well. There’s a bunch of mistakes in my first video too. Don’t worry, my videos will only improve and there’s a lot more coming too. So don’t forget to subscribe. Thanks for the comment Tim.

I’m not sure. Something I might have to look up.

@@MidwestCarLife I said that on the basis that Mercedes had to change headlights to round ones on some models years ago.

Wow! That’s crazy!! I’m guessing you’re not getting a flathead anytime soon then. Lol Thanks for the comment lilorbie. Don’t forget to subscribe.

@@MidwestCarLife Oh I already have a flathead v-8. I'm just not gonna get the cyl. heads from Speedway.

Yeah my subscribers are low I think because people see I only have 4 videos out. I’ve only had this channel for two weeks now. That being said, having a video at 28k views is mind blowing to me. A person needs 1k subscribers and 4k watch hours to get monetized. For a lot of channels, this has taken them a year or more. I got 4k watch hours in 2 weeks!!!! I’m so thankful and grateful to everyone that has viewed my videos.

@@MidwestCarLife I guess youtube sent your site to my feed and that is how I saw it. Keep it up and the only constructive criticism I have is, tell us the history behind the museum and why the person started it but I will put this on my bucket list because the engines are so special to a one time mechanic like me. I haven't seen a museum that had so many engines on display but the cars are great too. I am now a subscriber and keep up the good work.

Awesome!!! Thanks Marlo

Ok, thanks

Yeah, I actually thought of that. Wish I would have. Thanks for the comment Ted. Don’t forget to subscribe. A lot more videos comin.

There’s so many cool things there, my head was spinning!!

Yep, I’ve gotten many comments about this now. I knew that, just miss spoke. Thanks for watchin David, don’t forget to subscribe. A lot more videos comin.

I meant Buick

Hey Robert. No, I live in southern Minnesota. This was a stop on the way to Colorado for a vacation.

Boys and their toys… boys might get older, but they’ll still have their toys… bigger toys… and WAY more expensive ones!! Lol Thanks for watchin Bruce, hope you enjoyed it.

Well, this video has only been posted for about a month now and has over 49k views… I think I did alright!
