I agree with you that more people need to be doing it, but all this kind of stuff was done every which way more than a hundred years ago. The cutting edge of experimentation isn't usually in the realm of the home garage (but there's always exceptions)
I’m not a ford or mopar guy. I’m a Chevy guy but whenever I see videos of people modifying ford blocks to run ls heads or full custom jobs making ls heads work for a six cylinder I absolutely am intrigued and wanna watch and see if it goes successfully and I also hope it does work successfully. I absolutely love these oddball, mixing of different automakers parts. I’m absolutely fascinated by it and will support you all the way through.
Just Golden! I grew up when Wally Booth was 'stacking' AMC head castings to get airflow and Bruce Sizemore was furnace brazing 351 Cleveland head segments together for his 300 Ford - I thought all of that became a lost art, thanks for bringing back REAL engine building skills!

Man, I just have so much respect for your work and craft. It's incredible that you've made all these parts speak together. I mean I'm just doing an LS retrofit in my old Camaro and I find that difficult at times lol. But man great work and keep up the videos The fact that you made all that stuff work is just incredible. Tolerances and all You keep up the good work man
I’m so impressed with this build and thank you for inspiring a old man that has lost touch with what it is to Hot Rod this build displays the true form of that This is Hot rodding at its finest
That little jump scare you had at the end was priceless lol. I have been following this build, and I'm very excited that it finally fired. Can't wait to see what it'll do
Literally nothing about this project makes sense, and that's why I've been following avidly ever since I first found out about it! Glad to see it running! Congratulations from south-west England.
Since I saw the one in the Maverick, Ive always wanted to do this. You might have had a much easier time with a MegaSquirt computer or even a Micro to just get it going, but man I'm glad to see more people doing this. This is the American spirit; innovetion, perseverance, success. The greatest nation in the history of the world.
Flashbacks!!! 35 years ago when my dad let me start his f250. Pump it three times and roll it over, cold November morning, that straight 6 never failed..
Hell yes!!! I've been waiting for this video for a while, as a proud 4.9 owner trying to work out a turbo setup this is so exciting to watch! Great work brother 👍
Love it! Wish that I had your skills. I've been building engines for 40+ years and I wouldn't know where to start with the engineering, design and making the concept come together. You my friend are the man! Kudo's to you! ...and something tells me that you'll have customers wanting one of these builds. Kudo's again! Jim
I hope this gets millions of views. . Your dedication and talent is amazing to me. I'm a builder/ fabricator myself. I know the incredible amount of thoughts and labor to result in this accomplishment.
You are awesome! I’ve been an in-line lover and racer for years. Edelbrock has a casting factory and all the design hardware needed to make the heads, cam, intake, exhaust, and control system. The 300 cu in Ford engine is so rad even with reworked stock heads. In the sixties, guys were chopping up ford Cleveland heads for drag racing.
That’s the one big step every car guy looks forward too it the first time the engine comes to life! Pretty awesome accomplishment! Happy Birthday hope you have a good one!
Back fire scared me too 🤣 awesome work man . I have a huge appreciation for what it takes to mix n match and sort this stuff out . Keep up the good work
Happy Birthday! What a great engine. I’ve been waiting to see it run and it was well worth the wait. That sounds just perfect once you got it fired up.
Congrats man! It's so cool watching this odd idea turn into progress and then turn into reality, sounds amazing too. I've been checking the channel frequently to make sure I didn't accidently miss a notification.
Man this is cool as hell. Had this same idea years ago and ended up just building out a 2.2 ecotec for size and weight reasons, but I’d love to have a turbocharged 300 still. What a badass motor.
Truly amazing! Looks like your on the right path. You've come this far already, just a matter of time before you have all the bugs worked out and the thing is running like a clock
I had a 1966 F100, from 1970 until 1978, I did everything with that Truck, it had the 6 cylinder, three speed, when I saw that flame belch out of that in-line it brought back memories, I ran a straight pipe, no muffler, it sounded like a V8 with headers…..I’ve been driving Ford Trucks since, Old Fords never Die, they just look better…..
Actual engine start at 4:51, you're welcomed. Great work, man. Looking forward to the refined product. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the big dogs in the high performance world "suddenly" 🙄 picks up your idea and start casting and selling a HiPo crossflow alloy head for the Ford i-6 300.
Hell yeah! Obviously, a ways to go still, bet hell, she'll run! Well done, sir. I've been watching for a while with anticipation as I'm building a 4.9 myself. Happy Birthday, congrats and big props!
This is the kind of shit that people need to be doing with motors experimenting is what creates innovation
Experimenting is a understatement it’s engineering, just adult Lego blocks

Not much to putting a LS head on a SBF or a 300 6 seeing the LS is basically a windsor and a Cleveland head mixed together.
It’s more work than you think

@@midixiewrecked7011 do you know what a head is?
When that thing fired off I was half expecting you to jump around the room like a kid at Christmas!
That 6 cylinder is an absolute beast. I had one in an old van and towed everything with it. Over 500k miles when I got rid of it.
the little 4 cyl with an ls head and now a 6 with a ls head, in the same year, that's crazy cool man
The only thing I’m taking away from this is the possibility of a v12 LS
V12 LS's are a thing you can buy, just so painfully expensive and bespoke.
Awesome work! The world needs more inline 6's
Yes they do
YYYEEESSS
@Jasen Vernor i know man and the worse part is, it’s all a scam or gonna be
Well, dodge is ditching the v8 so you'll get more incline6's.
@deckum23 no you will get more terbo inline 4s and v6s
The pop at the end 😂
Congratulations with your success on a very unique build brother
I wish Edelbrock would make one of these for the good ol 300.

This thing sounds so damn good exactly what I thought it would sound like really close to an INLINE 8! 🎊 congrats it's ALIVE!
There are cool things and that engine.
Many people think that it is this is a very difficult project, but very few dare to do so.
Congratulations!
Sounds like you are almost there can’t wait to see it done thanks for sharing happy birthday
That’s the one big step every car guy looks forward too it the first time the engine comes to life! Pretty awesome accomplishment! Happy Birthday hope you have a good one!
Awesome stuff mate. Not a easy task to do what you have done. Looking forward to seeing it screaming and flying to bits.👌👍🇦🇺
It's never easy doing something new. Congratulations to you for sticking it out. And riding the roller coaster that's a real treat to hear runnin
man, this is gold, i like the raw video, no music, perfect
Glad to know someone actually tried to start the engine I heard bout like 8 years ago an even a 460. Big block head. Hopefully someone tries that one
The 460 head was put on a 4 cyl. Mercrusier tried to make them run. Big Disaster
This is awesome. Seeing all that wiring makes my brain hurt though, definitely took more patience than I have.
Ford 300 6 is one of the alltime best motors ever built. Now its even better.

Great job! I recommend megasquirt as a fuel and spark management system. That will give you full control and won't break the bank.
oh man! sounds good!
Very cool! Good luck getting it all sorted out, can’t wait to see it singing that sweet six sound once you do! Keep us posted.
Congratulations, I’ve been watching your build for a while and it’s really impressive what you’ve done
Great job
