Neighbor had one I think we got like 15 kids in there to go the drive in 5 bucks a car load. They really were the good old days

The 351c shares head type with the 460, and distributor. That’s it.

Such an awesome teacher sounds like a very patient man with a love for automobiles

Why the " be nice" sticker??

One of the kids I went to school with his dad gave him one when he turned 16 and took him six months he wrapped it around a telephone call, killing his girlfriend. He walked away from it spent the rest of his life feeling guilty.

Ed looking back like it ain't break time where yall at ??

Light flywheel work great on my sbc full roller 352 Destroked engine,,in my Chevy Vega, weighs about 2750 lbs with boxed steel frame connectors and power seats,shift at 8500 rpm

I had a 70 tempest with a 350 4 barrel Big Heavy was his nick Name 😮🎉😂❤ I stuck a 455 in my 69 olds Cutlass And a 12 bolt posi😮😅❤🎉

Silver? Did Pontiac make a silver GTO Judge?

Ed is gonna crack his neck snapping that head back and forth I'm afraid when he said metal and north pole😊

Agreed because my 70 Cuda was made that year! First of the E-Body. MOPAR2YA

This is the real deal

What dreams are made of

Went to school with a cat had one. Plumb crazy purple...

Hold , let me write that down , 4 in pistons , 6 in rods

I’m in love❤

Great MOPAR info! Niw Olds, Pontiac, Buick, DeSoto, Dodge!!!

Where are you located ? I see and Sanderson Ford hat on your head. My hometown Ford store!

Another thing to remember is that this cam is in a flathead engine with no rocker arms. This means that the profile has to do all the work and is extremely radical dynamically. The positive and negative accelerations are very high when compared to engines with rocker arms.

Man i could listen to him all day like i did my uncles talking about their younger days, cars and bikes. What i have realized, seemed like every car back then was one of a kind. All had slight differences, mods, trans etc from the factory.

I’m glad that at this day and age so much of these little tidbits of hard learned information are online. Sometimes I’ll get stuck throughout the day watching things like this learning to figure out issues. Everyday I learn something new… now if only I could get back to work 😬😬😬🙏

Could you put it in a warm oil bath for a while to make it take the oil back to the cast iron?

Built a lot of Ford flathead V8s. It is a strange looking exhaust port arrangement.

Great video! He’s definitely 1 of a kind. I enjoy his wisdom!

Why would you post such erroneous information? The 302 was the 4th iteration in the Windsor family. Most people don’t know this but the Windsor actually has its roots in the Y-Block and shares some commonality. When Ford took the Windsor to Indy, they robbed the Y-Block parts bin. Same when they developed the 302 Tunnel Port. The Cleveland valve layout is very similar to the 385 series, but the Cleveland has more in common with the Windsor than it does the 429/460. Ford engine lineage is confusing enough already 🙄

You have to treat that old cam shaft just like you would clean and treat a cast iron cooking pan or pot. I wonder how many of them cam shafts were destroyed just from cleaning it up nice not realizing what could possibly happen.

I found it interesting that he said that he will clean the cam shaft but he won’t wash it in a solvent because it’s cast iron and oil soaked. I think the term for this “oil soaked” condition is “oleophilic” meaning oil saturated.

You don't get to be a old man.... By being stupid..... Rule number one....

He has a point about washing a cam in solvent. But I don't think oil won't stick to the lobes if you did wash it. When I rebuild a race engine ( my own) I use barasol to clean cam then use compressed air to dry it off. Then I'll quickly coat it with virgin olive oil for storage. Or after cleaning it to reuse immediately, barasol bath, then I heat my cam up on gas grill after smothering it with zinc or MIL-TEC1 Additive..

You can tell by the look of this man’s hands, he knows what he is talking about

Im saving up for a +.60 350 w/6" rods (388) with 12.5:1 dome pistons. I want N/A power off idle to 6500. I know C12 mix. No more wimpy engines

302 is from the 289 ..from the 260.. from the 221 V8

Heavy chrysler 3800- 4500 lbs. Needs torque immediately

I love listening to old timers they know so much that everyone overlooks with today's technology

Every good motor guy can take a bunch of miss matched parts and make it great. Snowmobile race motors takes a ski doo crank Honda 4 wheeler rods with arctic cat pistons with polaris reed cages. With a aftermarket cyl with skidoo top head cover.

Love to spend a week with Ed

I'm 67 years old and I ❤ listening to fellow OLD BASTARDS

What about the 400 ford

Did that first small block chevy have a cheap parts store oil filter adapter on it? I haven't seen one of those since the 80s.

Civilians

So it's a flat-plane?

Cast iron cams do absorb oil over time. When you regrind one it smells like old oil for a while. This goes away as the lobe cleans up.

Thank you for your knowledge and videos USA 🇺🇸 TRUMP

First video I’ve seen with this guy and I’d automatically LOVE to spend 6 months working with him. I’m pretty knowledgeable but I know I’d learn a ton!! Some of the most brilliant words I’ve ever heard, “if you can’t explain it in such a way that a 5 year old understands it, then you don’t really know it” This guy knows it.

Legal pra andar na chuva

A very knowledgeable fellow. It really shows that there are creative people all over the world, when it comes to engineering not only in automobiles but also in other fields as well.🥸👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very good video. Thank you.

And keeping the oil changed is a big factor !

He looks a bit like Benny Hill..

What rods did you use? I got most of the part to try this out
