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?
Thanks for restoring and saving those smooth sounding and running engines. Takes me back to the early1950s helping my Dad while was rebuilding a zephyr V12.
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!

we used to hang out in an abandoned junkyard in the early 60's and there was a lincoln zephyr we used to sit in and imagined driving it. it had the big V12 with like chromed heads.
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.
I would love to have a Lincoln V12, But mine would never be run without cooling .See the smoke coming out of the coolant outlets.!!! And yes I learned the hard way, 60 years ago on a 59A.
I wish you could’ve been in there to hear it and feel it in person! I always appreciate you checking in, and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Cheers to you. Barry T in Phoenix 🌵USA
@@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.
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.
wow looks great those alu heads do they help with cooling? i was wondering if that helps for them needing a giant cooling system greetings from windmil country 🇳🇱
es schadet nichts, wenn du es kurz laufen lässt - wenn es heiß wird, schaltest du es einfach aus und machst nicht weiter. Danke fürs Zuschauen und danke für deinen Kommentar!
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.
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!

Great! I video with Ed when it works out. I can ask him about the flat plane work, I'm not certain...

I love that you have that memory refreshed, thanks for your comment!

I had a 48 Olds with a straight eight flathead and 4-speed automatic.
Super job Ed very good thank you for the video
Very welcome

I love old memories like that
Such a compact block for a 12 cylinder engine. Lovely sound.
Exactly
Only 267 - 305 cubes.
You guys are the coolest guys I ever met!
Thanks Rob, but YOU are amazing!
Good oil pressure and runs! Started very quickly. And what a beautiful looking engine. Love the colour. Thanks for the update!
Thanks for joining in, Mark!
SWEET ❤
Congratulations! What a beautiful job you have done! Really makes my day . . . thank you.
Thank you for the kind words! BarryT in Phoenix 🌵USA
Looking great!
They came out with one 2 bbl carb and ran fine. That carb needs jetting up.
Worth a try
Barry this is my dads car! Love the series. I think you need to come to NY to see the car delivered!!
Wow Devin, great to meet you! That would be a perfect ending to this series!
Yes! Let’s make it happen. It’s going to look amazing in our collection
I am all about it!

Your generation is the ones who raised the people you blame so you are just as much at fault

I think it’s ok
Heaven, I'm in heaven 😍😂. Wild ideas on carbs🤓. Absolutely heaven. Thanks guys, made my day. 🤗👍👍😎Pete 🤓

@@BarryTsGarage I bet the floor was vibrating
Let’s just say it was L-O-U-D!! 😂😂
@@BarryTsGarage lol, purring like a lion having its belly rubbed😂
That looks great! Put it in a Lincoln Zephyr convertible.
This one is assigned to the coupe, but there is a convertible waiting in the wings for someone to adopt...! It's a great idea!
Hang on to that convertible...I'll be there to test drive it and sign a couple of things LOLLL.
LOL
The old guy is about fed-up with these two.
I don't blame him...
Hahaha we get along great
wow, born to be fit in my jensen interceptor...perhaps two make a 24 cyl
That would really be something!
Beautiful build!! I can't help but wonder how this engine would sound with a set of headers and a 4 bbl carb. 😃
Stay tuned, we might make a few modifications when it gets in the car if you know what I mean lol! Thank you so much
Just one 4bbl??
I think a 3 deuce setup is going to be the final solution…. 😎
@@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.
It is a cruiser engine, not a hot rod engine.
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.
👍👍🤣
wow looks great those alu heads do they help with cooling? i was wondering if that helps for them needing a giant cooling system greetings from windmil country 🇳🇱
The theory is that they do help it stay cooler. The look isn’t so bad either!
Thanks Leon! Barry T in Phoenix 🌵USA
They had small water passages. The later cast iron heads were much better in that regard.
Just use two stock carbs in synch. Much better cylinder distribution.
Would definitely be an improvement - the intake manifold would be the next question…. 👍
@@BarryTsGarage Make one from a stock manifold. Shouldn't be too difficult.
@@mschiffel1 stay tuned - we have something in the works!
Man lässt so einen Motor nie ohne Kühlwasser laufen!
es schadet nichts, wenn du es kurz laufen lässt - wenn es heiß wird, schaltest du es einfach aus und machst nicht weiter.
Danke fürs Zuschauen und danke für deinen Kommentar!
you run it for a fair while with no coolant. Is that OK?
It’s ok for that amount of time

@@BarryTsGarage how much did it cost you?
Bad to the bone!!!!
Thank you guys!
Just 1 carb
True
Which is normal for street driven engines.
What is the top speed? 🛺
I doubt we'll ever test it. The goal is a peppy cruiser that is both mostly original but also reliable to enjoy driving. Thanks!
