My first engine rebuild in 1966. I learned soooo much from this gem, white metal bearings and all. Converted the big ends to shell bags. Made a big difference. If only I’d converted the vacuum wipers to electric! 😂
My first custom build ,105e axle shortened Capri front struts goes on and on full buttoned interior amazing chromed light surrounds and I never got to go the road due to starting a family . I have 1 photo of her and in a safe place such a solid car .I sold it to bloke who drag raced a mustang .
I had a customer at my Auto Electrical workshop here in NSW Australia he had a 351cu (5.8 litre v8) in his MK2 Escort. He had to wear almost sock like footwear due to the lack of footwell.
I hot rodded one of these back in the 70's solid little body needed little strengthening. I wish I had photo's to show you the copper bronze paint job.
Hi James I'm sorry the steering box was sold quite a while ago . But to be totally honest the rack and pinion set up works brilliantly and no comparison. We purchased the whole conversion kit from alachi 57 web site . The owner knows his stuff on these cars . We will hopefully get a chance to update the video in the new year.
I've never understood the appeal of rims with tires that are 3-4 sizes too narrow for the rim? The sidewall sloping at nearly 45 degrees... does this enhance performance? Not trying to be a jerk. Honestly don't understand. I love the car and everything you've done to it.
Hi Chad to be honest the tyre set up is a European thing . In the UK you can't have any tread showing outside the wheel arch . So basically I have a wide rim and tuck the tyre under the arch .
Knew a Guy here in Canada put a 283 GM Chev motor in one of those his was a panel Van . had subs and cage , went like a bat out of hell. My choice would be a Ford Cortina GT engine not the 283 V8.....................nice job guys............I am doing up a Austin Countryman A40 1951
The music is awful, I have difficulty reading on-screen text, so I think the audio could be put to better use; By you telling us what's happening, with your voice!!! However, I love Ford 100E, I had a 100E van (Ford Thames 5cwt) in the late 1970s. I was planning on inserting Ford Zodiac Mk3 (from the same era) engine with driveline (110hp instead of the 34 from the flathead four), the engine was a straight-six of 2553cc (bored to closer to 2.6l, as it needed a rebuild). The gearbox was a Borg Warner 35 Automatic 3-speed. The front crossmember & suspension (Brakes etc.) was from a big Vauxhall from about the same era, so the running gear should've easily managed the lighter van. I ended up not finishing it as rust was a serious problem, however I did some less ambitious projects as I matured.
Hi Andy I found your Ford Pop modifications very interesting, I could only find this post are you going to do a vid of it finished and how it drives. I own a few old cars and the reason I watched your vid was a friend of my partners is in the midst of buying a Ford of this type and its a friend of mine selling it. I am in the middle and her deal seems ok but the only issue was the steering, and as she knows nothing about cars I don't want to do her wrong, so to get to the point since you fitted Rack and pinion do you still have your steering box, was it in reasonable condition and are you interested in selling it. Many Thanks James
hi I got the full kit from Alachi57.com all nuts bolts coil over conversion, adjustable shocks on rear . rear lowering kit engine/gear box mounts . anti tramp bars . steering rack . well everything I need to be fair . had no issues fitting anything. we are on the last leg now rebuilding on of our 2ltr pintos
Hi Andy, when the pinto needed a rebuild would a modern bmw engine been a cheaper option and having german build quality as well or did you want to keep it all ford?

If I ever finish this project and take the time to post amazing pictures I’m using the same sound track 😂
Maybe try Frank Sinatra my way 🤔

Appalling Music ? At least I think it was music? Why not let the film and the car speak for themselves?
Brilliant job !

I had a Datsun pickup with a 283 and a Ford rear end . I put a 2.3 in a VW bus once . Worked really well and had 2 heaters that worked.

Should have had wider tyres...or ...narrower wheels....but the car looks good..
Good video spoilt by dreadful noise. Had to mute after 3 minutes.

turned off because of the music
I'm not a fan of the back ground music,it takes away from hearing the automotive sounds us gear heads like.
Get rid of the noise....er music.
hi, nice video but is a pinto engine the way to go as there are other more modern engines out there.
Hi yes it's a 205 pinto .since the video it's been fully rebuilt and rebored 2.1 with twin 45s and high lift cam . Still a way to go on the upper body
Hi Andy, when the pinto needed a rebuild would a modern bmw engine been a cheaper option and having german build quality as well or did you want to keep it all ford?
Mondeo engine 170 std lol easy to tune 👍👍✌️
and part is where?
Why didnt you put a disc brake back axle in, its a simple enough mod to do...?
Music by fingernails on a blackboard absolutel.y awful and unneeded.
