Installing A Hopped Up Flathead Into The 1932 DeLorean Roadster
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- While there is a lot of work to preform on the DeLorean roadster, we need to figure out what transmission was run in the car in the past. When Matt purchased the car from Ron, the whole trunk was filled with 6 Lasalle transmission. A few of them were modified to fit in an early ford which makes you start to think if the car had one originally. Since we recently picked up a Weiand dressed flathead, it seems like a good time to test fit the engine and potential transmission.

Number one lesson, NEVER throw away anything you find that goes with the car when you first get it!!!! LOVE that you strive to keep everything original!
The level of respect you pay to the preservation of this part of American history and our culture is impressive.
You are a good man.
So glad you are putting a Flathead in it!
@James Ogden that's funny, haha, might think of an old 'hit & miss' and run her on kerosene, ha haa ha.
Kidding of course 😁✌
89 yo grandad watches your chanel this bring back memories for him ... working on his projects .. I'm bringing back his 32 40 ford and 50 mercury
Hot rods .. he thinks they were sold .. all flathead power .. great video thanks
The new Iron Trap sign on the back wall is looking great!
Thanks!
The roadster has the right look.......... very, very nice!
Darn, That 4x2 intake looked killer but the 2x2 looks good to. Nice to see you moving ahead on this one. Great car Matt.
Flathead anything looks killer imo 🔥 💣 🧨
Yeah, because looks are everything, right?
Hard to beat...Weiand on Weiand.
Hey Matt
Good to see the Roadster becoming a complete car again.
I so enjoy finding your videos of a morning.
Thank you for allowing us to join in on the builds.
Be Safe and Well
It's so awesome that you're preserving this vehicle like it was built in the early days, a friend of mine said once every scratch every ding, every little spot of rust has a story and that story is the history of the vehicle and that's what gives the vehicle its soul, I hope you will never ever paint either one of those 32s please.
Oh no. That hood for the DeLorean is nothing but rust. That would look horrible on that awesome car. He has to paint it and the car too. Well, that's what I would do. But maybe that's just me.....
@@gordonstroup882 I'm pretty sure that's just you
@@gordonstroup882 all that car needs is to iron out the dents, massage out the bad spots and put a coat of linseed oil mixed with mineral spirits
Agreed! The paint will clean up on that hood believe it or not. I’ll do a sympathetic restoration and keep it “old looking”. This car is like the Clint Eastwood of hot rods.
Putting on the '32 shell, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who uses my head as a third hand :)
Haha Gotta do what you have to do when you’re working alone!
@@IronTrapGarage True! Been there, done that.
Must be nice to have all the HISTORIC IRON you have! I would be like a kid in a candy store🤤
The "Little Books" have certainly given you an education on what works and what doesn't. Thanks for sharing Matt, the roadster is going to be a great build!
Thanks Glenn! Yea it definitely helps with the detective work!
I've never owned a car with multiple carbs, but I once owned an 1,600 cc Honda Valkyrie motorcycle with 6 carbs [one per cylinder]. Even with the fantastic Honda engineering, all those carbs had to be adjusted and synched on a regular basis. The benefit came just after the sun came up on a Sunday morning in July of 2001. After a thorough safety check and with reasonably new tires on the machine, I rode the 123 miles from the West-side entrance to Interstate 8 in Gila Bend, Arizona to the Fortuna Road exit in Yuma in 53 minutes. At times I slowed to 120. At other times I hit 5th gear redline at 143, but my average speed that day was 139.25 mph. The pavement was maybe three years old, and without many flaws. I never saw a cop and, amazingly, I didn't pass any Westbound cars. I had an old-school police-style windshield, or I might have gone faster. With maybe four square inches of rubber on the road and a water-cooled 6 that "hummed" at speed, the world was almost completely silent. It felt like I was flying an airplane. I tell this story because anyone who loves a high-perforance car, motorcycle, plane or machine of any kind seeks a similar experience. That was the best. I have never experienced anything like it, before or since.
Impressive; Your ability to work on so many different projects at the same time. As cool as the 4-twos look, they are way too much carburation for a street driven flathead. Four carbs is really for an all out engine at Bonneville. Two is plenty for a nice ride around town. The sympathetic restoration makes a lot of sense too. If it gets to be too nice, you won't drive it much, and driving these cars is what it is all about.
Thomas is spot on; not only is the 4 carb intake too much for the street, but/ w/ straight linkage,
is very balky and prone to foul plugs. You will be much happier w/ the hi-rise dual carb. set-up,
for drivability AND Performance. When properly tuned, they are equal to, and can even surpass
the 3 and 4 carb setups. (And if you are going w/ the '39 trans. instead of the LaSalle, you will
need a "softer touch on the loud pedal", if you want it to last.)
Very nice when you do stuff like this and keep it old school, a nice example of the good old days when I was young, thanks for this.
Great job Matt.
Two carbs are a lot less hassle tuning than 4 anyways so it's kinda fortunate you had to swap the headers.
Altho the 4 carb header looked really cool.
Another great show Matt! That car will be beautiful once you get it painted.
starting to take shape for back in the past nice job matt
I love that look!
Flatbed and lake style, full fendered on top.
Epic!
Tonneu Cover is so cool with the hand pulp and zephyr gear, like Bobby Meeks also ran!
Thankyou for your videos. I've restored an Alfa Romeo Giulia Super 1964. I'm retired and really enjoy your approach to early Ford restoration and find the techniques fascinating and would love to have your skills and dedication. I'm following the Delorean closely and looking forward to the completion of your dads car. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice, Matt - that high rise nicely fills that deep engine bay. Looking forward to following along.
Progress feels good!!
Hockey pucks work pretty good as spacers . Excellent c.s.i. work
It's always a pleasure to come home from work and find a new Iron Trap Garage video waiting for me!😎👌🍻
Thanks for the update nice job your friend Rob from Canada 🇨🇦 👍
Like! Always love the photos at the end. One very cool feature. It keeps me around because you never know what's there. You can pause and take in the car and stuff in the shop. Thanks for the fun. :-)
Thanks for watching!
FlatHeads Forever!
Ford 1 & 2 ton trucks had the big bolt patern to the block, but the trans was a 4 speed with a 4 bolt patern. Used one a long time ago to put a 55 ford overdrive behind a 46 flathead.
Matt it's going to be a beauty when she is done. Thanks for the enjin mount video interesting hey.
I have the same red floor jack, got it from central tractor in Quakertown back in the day. It sounded the same when you drug it around.
I, Love those Exhaust Headers on that old ,Flat head! ☝️⚡😎🧐⚡☝️
Way cool ! At least as cool as the red 34 sedan . Can't wait to see it finished !
Matt it’s really starting to look great, I enjoy watching your video’s they have great content and the love you have for bringing cars back to what they were when first hot rodder! Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Thanks for watching Kevin!
Hey Matt, hood looks good on there, great to have a ford drive line. You will love looking down that hood, seeing them stainless headlamps when you're driving it. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching Frank!
looking like you found one of those installations and would love 💘 see it 😀 finished product
It’ll be running and driving, before we know it. So cool!
That car is sooo bitchin. Glad you got the hood back. Wouldn't be the same without it.
Nice work. That engine looks really nasty. Look forward to watching the progress on this hotrod. Stay safe and stay well.
I, think this Delorean Roadster is going too put some serious Torque Lbs on the Pavement! ☝️💯% 😳⚡😎☝️
Its crazy to see how far manual transmissions have come, in size and technology.
That intake manifold is very cool looking.
Amazing to watch while thinking about the future. I mean, will young folks be doing this with current vehicles in 50-75 years?
great video Matt
Hi from New Zealand Matt, I enjoy your channel. Great idea for the engine mount biscuits...rear bump stops like on my 48 cpe
You need a splash apron below the grill. Didn`t you have one from the 32 BB truck?
I do need one. Just need one with the right age to it.
It's coming along nicely.
It would be cool at some point in the future when the Schroll 32, and the DeLorean finished you guy race these cars at a drag strip against each other.
The fathead has the old school heart
Great work Matt, the flathead looks really nice setting in the car
You have perfect back ground music on your channel 👍
that's going to be a real nice car when it's done,nice video
@James Ogden fuuuuuuuuuunny!
Good to see the future. I have a question. Is the '47 done for your dad? I am interested to see what you did to fix the "X" member mess. Keep them coming so we can experience everything vicariously.
Done? This isn’t fake daytime reality tv haha. It’s waiting it’s turn to come back in. Getting back on it soon.
love those expandable wheelies I have 3 sets
Awesome. That car screams Flathead. A+. 👍
Thanks Richard!
Realy nice! Keep on doing the awesome work you are doing! // Greetings from Sweden!
Thanks for watching!
Hey Matt and Mike and also tell Cate hello and moon I like your program because it it like it is educational about the roadsters wish Nadeau could have a free tea roadster like the one you just built but I can’t afford to buy one
Matt, thanks for getting this video out, there probably is 4 channels or so I watch religiously, yours is no. 1, I can't get over how cool your shop is with the different cars going together, your stash of vintage speed parts is equally amazing...I'm into equipment too, that's just as cool..whats up with the 39 forgotten hot rod? I see it on your hoist...be safe & GOD BLESS!!!!
Thanks Michael! We’re just fixing some rattles and adjusting some things on the 39 after driving it a bunch. All good!
That thing is going to be killer.
it looks like he was planning to put a Lasalle trans in but previously had originally other transmissions in so it seems like you have a choice 😉 which way you want to go.
i want a hat like that. its awesome. great video again, thank you
This is so much fun
Glad you kept searching for that hood until it was in your garage! The car looked great with the original hood, but it looks "right" with the louvers.
Paint it black, as Mick would say.
Hockey Pucks you can drill holes in and stack even if you can't find the old body mounts :-))
Can’t wait for the next video good job 👍🏻
Great work, very entertaining. Thanks!
Great Job
I once read that there are more 32 ford roadsters than they built. Obviously this is original, but what flashes to my mind is how many of the originals survive in mostly intact form either hot rod or not
real sweet when pieces start falling into place like this. after a bunch of trials of course. if this car turns out to be something a bit historic would it not be a good idea to use reproduction bits to repair the sub-floor?
such a great project
9:15 she sounds good. She got a cam in her? LoL
That old Cadillacs looking pretty bitchin that's a pretty cool very high-rise manifold you stuck on it
i love this car
Thank you!
Awesome Job Matt!!!!!
🇺🇸🥇🏆🥇🇺🇸
Can you give me the diameter of the rear tires? They fill the wheel wells very nicely. I'm assuming the fronts are 25 to 26 inches. The overall stance is perfect.
I take old boat trailer rollers and cut them to length in a mitre saw to make up my rubber body and engine mounts. They already have a 3/8 -o- 1/2 hole in the center. They are inexpensive and they last!
Good job
Gorgeous !
hood looks good!
Hood needs paint!
Hood has decent paint just needs cleaned and polished.
Matt , sir , I love the way that you're able figure out how the cars might have looked when they might have looked the first set up ! Yes the intake with 4 carbs looked wild but to me it looks better with 2 carbs intake ! I hope that someday I can get to Pennsylvania , be able come by your shop and meet the whole crew ! Thank you for sharing this with me ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas . Oh , I have always wanted a old Hot Rod ! Hmm... maybe I should start playing the lottery win MAGA BUCKS first then come to Pennsylvania !!!!!
Story of my life in working on cars, when I don't have another pair of hands..."One hole lines up!"
hood yaaaaaa
I think this car would look great with a satin black paint job.
Are you selling that one?
Damn dude. This is sooooooo cool
Is that the original tonneau cover?
It is!
Matt what is the advantage of the Lasalle vs. 39 trans?
I'm looking for a 32 body what are your thoughts on fiberglass
That is badassed!
man...looks good
let's get down to the brass tacks mock it up and get ready to get to the nitty-gritty
Oh wow! A hopped up flathead. What's it make now? 120 HP?
The Ford flathead- America's first gasoline-powered water heater.
Didn’t this car gave a hand pump for the fuel?
Yes we have it
Hate to do this here, but I cant find one ANYWHERE, I need an oil pan for an 46-48 v8 flathead, anyone got anything???
I’m sure we do. Send an email: irontrapgarage@gmail.com
@@IronTrapGarage thank you! love the channel, Keep up the cool work!
Can I ask Matt are you gonna keep your 32s and your other cars
The 39 and my 42 Ford box truck will be for sale this year. The rest aren’t for sale
Fire it up let's take it for a ride
Why can't you bolt it in factory location
Matt, what about the tranny with zephyr gears that Jack said Geo. Ran in the car?
Man too bad you took off the Great looking 4 carb set up. Two carbs dont look as good. You could cut it out and weld a formed piece back in. I know turn the fire wall around backwards a very known way hot rodders did back in the day.
The old who owned it before the tire guy owned it ,said he had a hand pump fuel pump system in it .hence the fuel cap is a sealed u nit
He also said he didn't think it had a lasalle transmission in it. You might want to watch your video with talking with the of owner on the phone
And he also mentioned it only had two carbs
Matt,do you think the man who invented wheel dollies should get a metal and a carton of beer?
A metal, what kind of metal? Steel, aluminum, cast iron, stainless steel?
Oh, did you mean a medal? Like the ones you pin onto your shirt or jacket? 🏅 Haa Ha! Just kidding you.
4 carbs is a little much for a flathead I like 3 carbs
