- This is an initial road-test of a new Flathead Ford engine in my 32 Cabriolet (a barn find that sat on blocks since 1959). After 2 years of work, it is a wonderful feeling to take the old girl out on the road with a really stout flathead and put it through the gears. This is a very traditional hotrod - built the way they were in the early 1940's. I'm totally impressed with how well this new engine is performing - once it is broken in and tuned, should be even more fun. Enjoy!

Flatties make such a great sound
No V Tech will ever sound this good . Especially after 80 years on this earth . 🇺🇸👍🏻
Sounds amazing, very strong👍
Flathead V8’s are such badass engines! Love their unique sound
that thing is completely bad ass, sounds so cool, takes you back to Bonnie and Clyde times
Love it! That Flatty is awesome
Damn that sounds good Dale! Can't wait to get the Flatty in the T running now. Thanks!
+mctim64 Get it on the road!
she sounds great.
I the oily rag appearance of the Cabriolet! speaks volumes about how well she must have been looked after in the 40's through to when she was laid up. Theres a VW channel on YT where a blue cab with olds power can be seen in the back ground.More of a 50's early 60's style rod but the same rare body style. And it's the owners daily driver!.
Congratulations nice, and thank you for helping me to decide on an all stalk set up.
Super jealous, nice work
Nice vid mechanical love the sound a flathead makes man
flat head doing what it does best.
Sweet.
Damn that SOB runs! Cam specs??
If I were driving that souped up flat-head Ford, I think I would cream my jeans !
My father would love this car Ford flat head man born in 32 as well
I wonder if we go to heaven will there be great cars and motorcycle s
Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Have your son go to Prom In That Lol.
I hope you aren't still using mechanical brakes.
3/4 cam? This 'un's gotta 7/8's cam!
Radical cam for sure. It rumbles and spits like a race engine, until it hits it's stride !
Damn punk hot rodders disturbing the peace!
+duhraider Guess we never change now do we!
fun but not very safe.. hit a car..end up with a very costly lawsuit..
+klepetar Yeah, you're probably right . . . but when you're building traditional Hotrods, that is part of the deal. Though I will say this, something about the simplicity, the period it was built, the fact that it just works . . . makes it fun. Would I want to drive it on a daily basis in LA traffic . . . No . . . but do I love to take it out on these roads of Ohio and experience what it was like building a hotrod in 30's through 50's . . . bet your ass I do. Try it . . . you'll not feel bad that you did!
no. you know what isnt safe? driver assists and all these new cars with idiots texting and driving. id take my chances in one of these than in a new car.
That's why you should have Hagerty insurance. I drive my 50 Mercury Coupe ,all original w/ flathead V8 everyday during the summer, weather permitting. This will be my 52nd year as caretaker. The only thing I see that's dangerous here, is driving down tree lined roads.
