This video was 100% Ed's idea. He wanted to share his story and have his last engine rebuild ever be documented... Help Ed and leave a thumbs up on this video! (it helps more people see it) and send it to one of your friends too! Ed Pink is one of the final pioneer members of motorsports still alive and his life wisdom shared in little nuggets throughout this video are absolutely priceless.

HE LIVED IT BREATHED IT LOVED IT. I HOPE HE DOSN'T GET BOARD. WHAT A BRILLISNT MIND. YOU KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING ONCE THESE GUYS ARE GONE. THIS RITCH HISTORY. GOES WITH THEM. YOU. !!

There are a lot of questions about this engine that are left unanswered. As far as I can find NASCAR banned the SOHC and OHV Hemi in 1965 not 1964 . It opens the question about the 1963 430 Chevy mystery engine that never came in a production car and some say that only 20 existed bit it was allowed to run the entire year . It was far faster than any other brand but had problems lasting a 500 mile race . Anyway there are aftermarket blocks today that are strong enough to make a modern SOHC reliable. Amazing that the Fe engine is still.popular as a true Hot Rod engine and the improvements continue .
I couldn't tell you how many engines in the 70's were Ed Pink, but I can tell you they won a lot of races and sounded better than everyone else. God bless this Man. He's a Treasure who will never be forgotten.
@@Stapleton42 This man was torching the factory Porsche teams with their own 962 Prototypes! He cracked the Bosch Motronic injection system computer, changed the cams added new engine coating tech and squeezed another rumored 150 hp HP out of the flat six! Ed's engines smoking past the high budget, factory Porsches on the high speed banks of Daytona at the 24 was GOD tier!
Ed Pink- What an incredible human being, I wish there was a "love button" instead of a "like button" on this video, at 92 years young he is the sharpest tool in the toolbox and his legacy will live on for eternity, he is a gift to motorsports and humanity and I'm thankful that he gave you the opportunity to spend some time with you and record it for all of us.Thank you!
The legend himself. I hope that when I am 92 my mind is still that sharp. The amount of knowledge that he has gained over his lifetime is so immense that it would take many many episodes even to begin to scratch the surface. He still has the passion today as when he started and you can hear it in his voice. Do as many videos as it takes to preserve this automotive history and teach the world of just how much genius these individuals from this era possess. Keep doing this.
Anyone notice that when the conversation kinda turned to mortality and people sitting in front of TV's, Pink changed the direction FAST. The man doesn't dwell on that kinda stuff...he's got work to do!
This is a rather sentimental video for those of use who really appreciate the early years of racing, with Ed Pink being one of the main pioneers. Thanks Ed, and thanks guys, for making this special video for all of us. That engine is gorgeous. I could never get tired of just looking at it!!!
These videos are CRITICAL. This firsthand knowledge and undocumented history from the masters has got to be recorded before these heroes are gone. Thank you so much for this work and for letting Ed speak uninterrupted.
That man is a master craftsman. So very appeciate people like this in world. I know it’s and engine. Taking that to the top level is inspiring. I think I learned a bit on how to live life.
They absolutely are ! I wish more of these older guys would do this . This is important work, and you guys are doing a fine job. Keep up the great work, and THANKS ED !! This is greatly appreciated.
Ed's memory is amazing at 92. He's likely forgotten more than most of us know about engine building. Such a rad video and I'm glad he's reached out to you to do this. It needed to be documented like this, so thank you.
Fun fact, Don Garlits was trying to break the 426 to go back to his beloved 392's, because he thought it wouldn't be as good, it never worked in his opinion, so he deliberately tried to spark knock it into oblivion. Turned out the more timing he put to it, the faster it would go. This was said by the man himself in an interview Love these vids with the old guard, the stories you hear is awesome
That is one main reason why I love the FE so much, it is so much like the 392. Just a sturdy 2500 hp block. If you dry deck fill it , you can get it to take 5000 hp, and there was a Dove dry deck that could live under the Cammer at 8000. But time marches on. Bill Coon was making stuff a few years ago. Ed Pink the man, the legend!!!
Thank you for Filming this!! As an engine guy getting to see how Ed Pinks mind works and just listening to how things use to be done is absolutely invaluable, you are the Only one going around talking to all of these greats before they are gone forever, thank you!! I really appreciate it!
Agreed. Thanks to you we have the history of what makes us car nuts from the men who made us want to be just like them when we grew up. Your channel is the history channel for car guys 👏
So many of these greats in the racing world are already gone, and others like Ed are hanging it up and there isn't enough film or printed material to document what is slipping away. Thank you for doing this, and thanks Ed for your contributions over the decades.
Legend in the 60"s if you wanted the best it was Pink or Black. I always Think Pink. Loved it Glad you Captured this Rare Moment in Time. A Hero in my Book.
@@Stapleton42 It is me who appreciates you, I loved the hydro vid My Hometown. Anything with an Engine I'm In!. You just Documented History. Thanks again. 42 for the win!
My Dad who passed away back in 2001 used to say the same thing Ed said, my mind says I can do it but my body says no you can't. Those words bring back a flood of memories about the times my Dad and I spent in the garage together.
This man is amazing. I'm 72 and have tinkered with Fords all my life. But I have Parkinson's from Agent Orange I got in Vietnam. I still have the yarn to play with my 70 Mach 1 I have had for 50 years now but my body just won't let me. Ed is so lucky. His mind is better than mine and he's 20 years older. I am so envious. Keep on goin Ed.
I remember as a teenager going to Panarama City / Van Nuys next to the RR tracks and hear those thundering cars doing burn outs down the street. One of the guys doing the burn outs was Pat Foster and when I started my career in professional racing I got to work with him and told him that story and that’s how I found out that he was there. I’m now 62 and semi retired!
@@Stapleton42 while working for Danny Thompson (Mickeys son) in Huntington Beach our shop was right across from Little John Butera so I got to know him as well!
What an honor it must have been to be contacted by Ed Pink to do this video. It is SO important that historical figures such as him are getting their stories documented. GREAT video!!
Thanks for the interview with Ed. I remember when Shirley Muldowney would win an event she would always thank Ed Pink for the race winning engine. Truly an amazing man for sure.
This to ME at least, is THE most awesome video You've done yet. Bravo Mitchell, Mr. Pink is one of the engine builders I've always held the utmost respect for.
I was expecting a really old school build, but Ed’s clearly moved with the times, and his crank and cam position sensor solutions are so elegant! Having an ex Cosworth engineer on call to design your ITB injection setup is the dream.
That engine is literally like a mirror. Amazing stuff. Ed needs to write a book about modding the SOHC engine. Ed is an amazing guy. I'm so glad he called you.
Ed Pink is one of the most iconic superstars in the racing world. I have been a fan since the late sixties. To see this now is super awesome. Ed, I hope you are with us for a long time, you are THE MAN!!!
I'm not into drag racing. I'm not even American, but this video appeared in my feed and because I like cars, I watched it. Without taking anything away from modern engineers, men like Mr Pink are rare indeed. It truly is like going back in time when guys were pioneering engineers and improving on what they had. He is a true inspiration to all, no matter what job you do. And when retirement comes, stay as busy as your health allows you to be.
always love Ed and could listen to his wisdom for hours! you are truly blessed to have had that chance. thank you so much for doing it and i look forward to seeing his hot rod and hearing that motor roar
EXCELLENT Interview...back in 1970 (I was 8 years old) my dad had a business around the corner from his dyno shop and a few times a day you would hear the AWESOME sound of a Ed Pink Engine being run..still hear it my head...also I met him at OCIR way back then and he was such a nice humble guy that loved to talk to us youngsters about engines...good times thank you for this interview!!
As a kid in high school I was fortunate to get to know Ed Pink and see his shop! Not many geeks in school ever had such a chance! Grew up in Woodland Hills and went to high school with his daughter, my in to being able to have the chance. The man is a living legend a I had an experience I will never forget! God Speed Ed Pink, "The Silver Fox" as known by his family and friends! BTW I'm now 68.
Wow, that was a special episode! The Great Ed Pink, what an incredible mind, still sharp as , at 92! Thank you Sir, for your service to the world of racing. Ed has been my hero for 25 years, every engine that goes out of my shop, has a little of the knowledge and attention to detail that I learned from this great man. Much respect.
What a Privilege to Meet & Document ,Mr Ed Fink ...,Himself...the detail of him explaining, what ,work, & didn't, & the fixes....Timing. .92 & explains Everything..
This is one of the most "Valuable People" who know how to make things happen. Ed Pink, and Don Garlits, are the people who spent the time it takes make things better. These are the people who will take the time to understand what it takes to "Win".
This channel has become a very big deal. I am 60, and this is better than Disneyland EVER was. Preserving history is youtube's greatest purpose. THANK YOU! 💪🇺🇸👍
Hard to find the words to express how good it was to spend 52min with Ed (again since I loved the last Ed vid you did). Bravo to you're continued history documentation young man.
Greetings . The motors in the cars we drive give , us a Universal Feeing of Freedom Excitement Euphoria Power . It's truly amazing driving a sports car . A Big Thank You to the Ed Pinks of the world for creating the Motors we Love to drive .
I had a similar experience with a gentleman named Al Moody. He built an engine for my project and it was amazing listening to his stories of working on GT40s and Ford racing engines from the 60s. I'm a Ford guy and Ford engines are the only ones for me because of the history guys like Ed Pink and Al Moody provided. Thanks for this video!!!
I have nothing but respect for Ed Pink he falls into a category of men like Keith Black, Don Garliets, Parnell Jones, Tommy Ivo and the list goes on. When these guys are gone the mold will be broken. Kids today don't even know what points condenser, jet drills, main jets air jets, SOHC means. I remember his shop in Van Nuys. So great seeing this. I still have the tool to remove the value springs from Ford flatheads that my late Dad used to hop up his '32 Ford. My Dad's car would put out so much horse power back then he started breaking axles, the crankshafts would flex and break because there wasn't enough main bearings. Those were the days. Great love for that stuff right along side of my late wife ❤
Great video. At the start, i seen the timer and thought id watch 10, maybe 15 minutes. Man i couldn't leave it. Love ed pink and lake jr. Camera man BB is a great guy too.😊
Damn Stapleton, this was an amazing video and it also tugged on my heartstrings. What an amazing man Mr. Pink is. The time machine talk at the end along with the rest of the video really motivated me, thank you!
One of the greatest to ever do it. What he did with Chrysler,ford and offys is incredible. I wish I knew what he's forgotten. My brain isn't big enough to know what he still knows.
I had the opportunity to meet Ed, and anyone else in the San Fernando Valley who made horsepower as a 30 year old Sunnen Field Engineer in the late 80s and early 90s. The things that I saw Ed doing were incredible! His dyno, aside from the usual electronic meters, had a huge array of analog meters. I really enjoyed this content. God bless Ed!
Rest in Peace Mr. Ed Pink. Part of Americas Greatest Generation. Outstanding interview. Cherish this time you spent with this genius of a Man. A life well done. We all have lost a mechanical artist of his generation.
God Bless Ed Pink from racing fans all throughout the world. What you guys did here is cathartic to racing fans young and old. This was the greatest tribute to a legend of speed.
Inspirational, emotional, educational and exceptional. So grateful both of you and Lake Speed, Jr. were chosen by Mr. Pink to present this story, and so wise to allow him to quarterback the presentation. Thank you, Ed Pink. You have been a legend my entire life.
I'm now 67 years old, formally educated in Automotive Technology and engine machine work. Rebuilt my first engine at 16, a 65 Bug. I have now rebuilt everything from 671 Detroit to Stihl chain saw, stock and race. Will most likely continue till I die. Great to see Ed still going. Your videos have increased my learning curve, Thank You.
Thank you both for sharing this. listening to the legend Ed Pink himself talking us through his last engine build, it like getting to watch DaVinci paint his last painting. Ed Pink sir thank you for all you've for motorsports. That engine is a work of art.
My mom worked for Ed Pink around1970 as his book keeper. I was only around 8-9 years old but still have great memories of meeting Ed and being around drag racing. My mom later worked for DiMarco boats so drag boat racing became part of my life. I feel so blessed. Ed is and always has been a genius!!!
Loved the Pink videos. Would really like to see in the future a Video of either the Herb Mccandless Museum/Shop in NC (I believe his Museum is the ole Sox & Martin shop), the Big Daddy Don Garlits Museum in FL, or the Ohio George Montgomery Speed Shop in OH (the oldest operating performance shop in the USA, & it feels like a Museum)
This video was 100% Ed's idea. He wanted to share his story and have his last engine rebuild ever be documented... Help Ed and leave a thumbs up on this video! (it helps more people see it) and send it to one of your friends too!

Thank You so much for making the effort to make this video with "The Old Master".
92 years old and his is still sharp as a tack . Mr Pink has forgotten more about building a engine than any of will ever know 😊
Absolutely true
Doesn't sound like he's forgotten anything!
@@DSG-br5lkyou beat me to it bud. Doesn’t sound like Mr. Pink has forgotten a damn thing.
and knew where every part was and explained it
You are damn straight! "Pink" showed the quick way to the end of the 1320, all day!!!!
Ford Engineers should be forced to go sit with Ed Pink for a week and Q & A him.... What an amazing man!
This probably will be the last testament of this man's knowledge. Thank you for interviewing him/hanging out.
I couldn't tell you how many engines in the 70's were Ed Pink, but I can tell you they won a lot of races and sounded better than everyone else. God bless this Man. He's a Treasure who will never be forgotten.
Sir Ed Pink! 🐐
This man deserves an hour long documentary for all he gave the world of motorsport!!
Absolutely
Totally agree. Almost every funny car I loved in the past had Ed Pink racing engine stickers on his car.
@@Stapleton42 This man was torching the factory Porsche teams with their own 962 Prototypes!
He cracked the Bosch Motronic injection system computer, changed the cams added new engine coating tech and squeezed another rumored 150 hp HP out of the flat six!

Thanks man we will keep it going 💪🏻
Meh, I can't even remember where I put the laptop I'm watching this on. Not 92 either.
Anyone notice that when the conversation kinda turned to mortality and people sitting in front of TV's, Pink changed the direction FAST. The man doesn't dwell on that kinda stuff...he's got work to do!
He spoke his mind on that topic once we were done filming. You can imagine what he thinks about it and you'd probably be right lol
Well he needs to!
This is a rather sentimental video for those of use who really appreciate the early years of racing, with Ed Pink being one of the main pioneers. Thanks Ed, and thanks guys, for making this special video for all of us. That engine is gorgeous. I could never get tired of just looking at it!!!

Yes ! It is !

Thank you so much for this work and for letting Ed speak uninterrupted.
Absolutely that is our goal!
That man is a master craftsman. So very appeciate people like this in world. I know it’s and engine. Taking that to the top level is inspiring.

Clint Eastwood is 93 and just as sharp. Life is short he's right, the body wears out quick while his mind could go another 50
Fun fact, Don Garlits was trying to break the 426 to go back to his beloved 392's, because he thought it wouldn't be as good, it never worked in his opinion, so he deliberately tried to spark knock it into oblivion. Turned out the more timing he put to it, the faster it would go. This was said by the man himself in an interview
Love these vids with the old guard, the stories you hear is awesome
interesting!
I've seen that video here on RUclips
I remember hearing that
He stopped at 60 degrees because it was kicking like a mule, 75 degrees is absolutely insane!
That is one main reason why I love the FE so much, it is so much like the 392. Just a sturdy 2500 hp block. If you dry deck fill it , you can get it to take 5000 hp, and there was a Dove dry deck that could live under the Cammer at 8000. But time marches on. Bill Coon was making stuff a few years ago.

Ed is an absolute treasure. He remembers more information than most books could ever teach you.

At 62 ,you are way too young to be talking retirement....
Old stomping grounds spent many nights on VN blvd, super shops back in the day. Lived behind the Arbys there. Man i got in a lot of trouble lol.
Ed Pink is a National Treasure. His knowledge and sense of humor shine through is if it's the mid-60s.
Thank you for documenting this. It’s so cool to hear all the history and technology they used back then
Thank you sir!
What an honor it must have been to be contacted by Ed Pink to do this video. It is SO important that historical figures such as him are getting their stories documented. GREAT video!!
Thanks Keith!
Thanks for the interview with Ed. I remember when Shirley Muldowney would win an event she would always thank Ed Pink for the race winning engine. Truly an amazing man for sure.
That reminds me Shirley lives near us now. We need to talk to her 😂
@@Stapleton42 She loves doing interviews. I think you should get in touch with her.

Fantastic video from you guys.....and the lass too. She asked just the right questions. That was amazing to watch.

You guys were so lucky to visit with a piece of HISTORY.
Every time you out do yourself. You have just completed a video with the ultimate guru of building performance engines. Congratulations !!
Thank you william!
Thank you... from bavaria... all the best
Thank you too!
This to ME at least, is THE most awesome video You've done yet. Bravo Mitchell, Mr. Pink is one of the engine builders I've always held the utmost respect for.
thanks man!!
Talk about a true legend. SO awesome you did this video with him.
Ed Pink you are a bloody legend mate, and a true champion,

Great video. At the start, i seen the timer and thought id watch 10, maybe 15 minutes. Man i couldn't leave it. Love ed pink and lake jr. Camera man BB is a great guy too.😊
I am the camera man video editor and owner of this channel so thank you 😂
Damn Stapleton, this was an amazing video and it also tugged on my heartstrings. What an amazing man Mr. Pink is. The time machine talk at the end along with the rest of the video really motivated me, thank you!
Thank you! That was my goal!
How awesome was it to hear Ed Pink tell history!! It's like a discovered time capsule of racing history!! This is bad ass!!
One of the greatest to ever do it. What he did with Chrysler,ford and offys is incredible. I wish I knew what he's forgotten. My brain isn't big enough to know what he still knows.
This man’s knowledge is incredible. He probably knows twice as much as I ever will! Good luck to him!
Man whoever bought that last engine is a very lucky boy. Proud to have it somewhere on our soil, given a good home somewhere. What a legend Ed is!
Sensational i subscribed twice, these old stories are priceless, and i bet the gorgeous gal knows a few things about engines too 👌
This was to me the best historical video yet ….. you could have spent a year with Ed and barely scratched the surface….. keep up the good work man
A true legend!
Your killing it on racing history. Thanks for keeping it alive!
I had the opportunity to meet Ed, and anyone else in the San Fernando Valley who made horsepower as a 30 year old Sunnen Field Engineer in the late 80s and early 90s.
The things that I saw Ed doing were incredible! His dyno, aside from the usual electronic meters, had a huge array of analog meters. I really enjoyed this content. God bless Ed!
Watched from Old Harbour Jamaica.
Thank you so much for this, the Ford Cammer is my all time favorite engine. Ever since I saw a time chain 35 years ago.
Awesome!!
What a brilliant man!
Ed is awesome
Thank you for these videos, the value of information and just simply hearing a legend like Ed Pink talk is worth more than anything
I appreciate the video guys! It is painful how loud the giggling is when Ed is so calm and well spoken! I get it you guys are excited!
I grew up watching a d going to the races in the 70’s and Ed Pink WAS and always Will Be LEGEND! He is right there with Garlits in the hall of fame
Rest in Peace Mr. Ed Pink. Part of Americas Greatest Generation. Outstanding interview. Cherish this time you spent with this genius of a Man. A life well done. We all have lost a mechanical artist of his generation.
Huh? As far as I know Ed Pink is still alive
God Bless Ed Pink from racing fans all throughout the world.
What you guys did here is cathartic to racing fans young and old.
This was the greatest tribute to a legend of speed.
Thanks man we appreciate you being here for it!
Ed is a National Treasure, thanks for preserving his story.
Inspirational, emotional, educational and exceptional. So grateful both of you and Lake Speed, Jr. were chosen by Mr. Pink to present this story, and so wise to allow him to quarterback the presentation. Thank you, Ed Pink. You have been a legend my entire life.
I'm now 67 years old, formally educated in Automotive Technology and engine machine work. Rebuilt my first engine at 16, a 65 Bug. I have now rebuilt everything from 671 Detroit to Stihl chain saw, stock and race. Will most likely continue till I die. Great to see Ed still going. Your videos have increased my learning curve, Thank You.
Thank you both for sharing this. listening to the legend Ed Pink himself talking us through his last engine build, it like getting to watch DaVinci paint his last painting. Ed Pink sir thank you for all you've for motorsports. That engine is a work of art.
Absolutely man. Glad you’re here for it
This was such an awesome video. Ed Pink, what a legend.
His knowledge is priceless.
The best video I've watched in… Forever!!! And I just happened to stumble upon it researching the Ford 427 Cammer. Absolutely fantastic video!!!!
Wow, thanks!
My mom worked for Ed Pink around1970 as his book keeper. I was only around 8-9 years old but still have great memories of meeting Ed and being around drag racing. My mom later worked for DiMarco boats so drag boat racing became part of my life. I feel so blessed. Ed is and always has been a genius!!!
I loved watching ed pink share his history. and thank you for doing this. The advancement this man has in racing history is enormous!
An absolute true GENIUS, as he has the ability to explain the complicated in easy common sense terms!
This is pure gold and a real service to the history of automotive performance WELL DONE Ed and those who filmed him !
Final thought. Mr.Pinks last engine is a piece of art!!
So fucking cool. I can't even fathom the knowledge this man has learned over time.
Thankyou very , very much for sharing all you have done . Sir Ed Pink 😎👍👍
Loved the Pink videos. Would really like to see in the future a Video of either the Herb Mccandless Museum/Shop in NC (I believe his Museum is the ole Sox & Martin shop), the Big Daddy Don Garlits Museum in FL, or the Ohio George Montgomery Speed Shop in OH (the oldest operating performance shop in the USA, & it feels like a Museum)
Those are great ideas!
@@Stapleton42 Big Daddy's museum is a must see
@@Stapleton42hell yeah, u better git on it before they are gone.Know what u mean. PLZ, THX.
