    Nice to see the old fashioned shops still!! Getting into cars in the early 60s was the best time! We were working on our cars and motorcycles all the time! We got to drive the muscle cars when they were new!! And primo gas was cheap. Even in our hopped up cars, you could get by on usually 5 bucks. Depending on where we went of course. The Good old days!!!!

      @BarryTsGarage Thanks so much for the shout out! I'm going to go through all of your stuff and catch up on what you're doing! It put me in a good mood to see your shop and what your all doing there!! Much better than all the garbage that's going on!! Good to see the time you spend and the little things we come up with to keep making them better! That V12 is really sweet. Are you guys messing around with flat plane stuff at all?

    I am 75 years old and it has been a heck of a long time since I've seen a Lincoln Zephyr engine. I always loved the very different sound that a V12 makes........I still find a flattie V8 to be a more satisfying sound but the V12 is interesting, too. I used a Lincoln Zephyr trans and rear end behind my hopped up flathead V8 for the added strength of the gears. I think Ford used better/stronger metal in the V12......the gears were more quiet than the V8 gears......I think they spent more time lapping them in at the factory.

      Thank you Tom - I very much appreciate your comment. If you can find some of JB’s comments on the Lincoln zephyr in the other playlist he speaks a lot to the idea of higher quality steel and no expense spared on the zephyrs as an Edsel Ford project as opposed to mass production money making!

    I McDig this engine. What a beautiful specimen of pure American engineering. And the dream of an entrepreneur who generated success beyond the expectations of anyone. Unfortunately Mr. Ford was in agreement with Hitler's Nazi party. Funny thing how he wouldn't have been able to achieve half what he did under such a regime had it been fully implemented here. And today our Country has turned Fascist right under our noses. Between the propaganda from the Government. And a CIA controlled media entertainment industry education system and Seminaries. The Country was blind sided and a dishonorable mention to the complacency due to being a Nation of spoiled wasteful brats unappriciatiative of the freedom their fore fathers fought starved marched through snow ice and mud frostbitten and beat down by British regulars and some how managed to pull off a Victory against the most powerful military in the world.

      @@BarryTsGarage I like that idea. Each cylinder will get the same mixture like that, shorter intake paths too; should increase mid range & top end power. 👌
      One 4bbl won't really do that.

  • @jamesbosworth4191
    @jamesbosworth4191 3 месяца назад +1

    If you want one of these, you'd be much better off using the post-war or 1942 version - better water pumps, better oil pump, larger oil passages, stronger connecting rod caps, larger water passages in cast iron cylinder heads. The pre-war version suffered from poor water circulation, poor oil flow, connecting rods caps that can be pulled out of round, overheating, etc.

    How much does it cost to rebuilt? I just got a 1936 Lincoln zephyr v12 in fair conditions for $200c the engine looks so easy and simple. But I heard something about flathead, which idk what it is.

    • @BarryTsGarage
      @BarryTsGarage  2 года назад

      It’s always difficult to know, what do you look at an age that is 90 years old! It has to be inspected piece by piece very carefully to find out what is needed to be done for machining and also what parts are going to be needed. Then it’s a matter of what parts are available at what cost. Every one is different. If you’re serious about wanting to get it engine rebuilt, I would recommend you call an antique engine builder directly and see how they can price it for you. I likely think it would be a range with so much labor estimate and so much parts estimate but no final answer until you get to the finish line. Thanks!
