Good if you didn’t drag things on for so long

Running sweet as a nut! Love a bit of Chinesium translation.... should have licked the end of the white wire while crossing your fingers and looking over your left shoulder by the sounds of it...😂😂

Chris, the only thing missing from you control panel is a big red emergency stop button! 🙂 You've come a long way since dragging the engine out of the swamp. Good days ahead.

Thanks!

Absolutely, amazingly beautiful. 🇺🇸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻🫵🏼

Evening Chris, fantastic update, very enjoyable. In terms of your old mechanical pump, the internal gubbins look VERY similar to the original glass bowl fuel pumps used on Triumph 2000 and Vitesse/GT6. I've got a few knocking around, so I'm happy to measure the diaphragm and one way valves from them, those rebuild kits are obviously available in the country for not much money. If you want me to measure up drop me your email address or ask Bryan for mine / mobile number as he has mine. Cheers again.

Great work again & ALF sounds wonderful well done !🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations! Thats amazing! She sounds great too!!

Engine sounds sweet, good job Chris. Cheers John.

Lovely methodical attention to detail, Chris; well done! I could watch your work all afternoon, gleaning ideas from your modus operandi. Really looking forward to the g/box and then the chassis construction 👍🏽😁.

Yes love the sound & how smoothly it seems to run. Looking forward to seeing the insides of that monster transmission too.

Please let me know what battery you used and if the polarity is reversed. I have a 1939 ALF that did not come with a battery. Thank you for this very informative series.

Brilliant video again mate liked the dash making music, I've got a large 6cy diesel it run's about 80/85 also taco is electric powered from the alternator which i discovered many years ago and still find quite confusing

Fuel pump …..”Munted”……

Runs beautifully. Great job!

Chris your roof needs mowing

Hello Chris,thanks for another refreshing video.TH-cam seems to be polluted ,at the moment, with events on going on the other side of the Atlantic. I had a near fatal m/cycle accident 2 years ago so l can't do much in my workshop.l now enjoying watching you fettling in your shop. Looking forward to the next chassis episode Watching from Kenya,east Africa.Cheers.

I've played quite a bit with modern tachs and driving them from micros trying to achieve a more mechanical look and came to the conclusion none of the mechanisms either moving coil or magnetic or steppers or servos are fast enough to really mimic a proper clockwork chronometric tach. Maybe some kind of laser galvo could do it but those aren't cheap! That needle moving to max and back on 'start up' always looks wrong to me on old cars. The mechanical tick back on a chronometric is so fast it's hard to mimic in electronics. I wonder if you could run a mechanical rev counter off the water pulley belt with a little wheel rubbing against the back of it?

If it goes into a car many many times lighter than the original vehicle , it may not need a gearbox. It has a huge amount of torque. What diff ratio and tyre diameter were u thinking of?

The gear shift is set up for a remote gear lever.If you remove shift housing a gear shift lever will bolt on.

Good to watch. Very methodical Engine sound great. What would be the horse power. Crack on. Clive

The engine sounds really good. Love the exhaust note. Looking forward to whatever comes next. Cheers.

Result!

Sweet as.....pack it up & ship it to Tasmania. I have Cabover Chevrolet truck looking for a V12.😆

sounds bloody awesome , i cant wait to see in in a frame! is it pressurising the cooling system? ...reused head gaskets??

well done Mr Bracket....more adventures with the truck gearbox hey....cant wait

I just fitted one of those £26 fuel pumps to my v-max - my 3rd pump😂. Don't let them run dry or pull a vacuum. Filter King fuel filter/regulator would do the trick and I see they come with a gauge now. Good luck with the gearbox.

Marvellous 🎉

PUT A SEAT IN IT AND DRIVE IT DOWN THE ROAD😱🤪👍💪GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS SIR 👍💪🍺👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

Now waiting to see what this beast is going to power.

wow what a lovely sound did you feel it in your chest??? ive been looking forward to that like you for a long time. Obviously not as much as your self but hey fantastic. A engine first start after a rebuild up is a magical thing. My brother rebuilt a large1920s/30s lister boat engine once dispite anchoring it" it still walked off down the garage so he was forced to pull the fuel while he was throwing tyres infront of it to prevent it walking through the wall and into the garden" With a young me running behind it with a piece of guttering pipe for a make shift exhaust trying to hold on to it for dear life like wrestling a giant snake. That was great very exciting lol

Excellent work as usual Chris!

The 'ceremony' needed more bling for that tach to work, obviously. Doesn't the needle screw in/out to adjust float lvl on the ol stromy's..great stuff as always

Regarding it slightly will help with cooling 😊, could you get an old Lucas tachometer for now 👍👍

Love that flathead sound, can't wait to see what it goes into.

Measure the successful float level using thickness of drill stem width. Replicate on other float. Drill stem widths are often used on carb sets.

Need to move the rubber fuel line from where it is touching the hot exhaust manifold. Might get a nasty surprise.

Hi Chris , love the build . I've watched this video a couple of times. If you go to Pacific Northwest Hillbilly you'll see that Matt has set up his engine run-in stand with the same tach guage. On his he placed a hall effect sensor near the front pulley with a magnet glued to the surface of the rotating dampener for signal generation. Might be the same for yours! Cheers

Really enjoying this Chris. Can’t wait to hear more about the chassis 👍🏻👍🏻

Sounds great! I have the same (or similar) Chinese Rev counter that I want to fit to my ‘29 Midget. But I got the diesel version for the 4K Rev range. Perhaps a mistake…

Nice work. I’ve got a Malpassi/King fuel pressure regulator and a manual contact tacho if you want to borrow them.

Sounds great. There is a chap in the USA that supplied me with a repair kit for the lift pump on my Dodge, includes replacement poppet valves, diaphragm etc and is suitable for ethanol fuels, the fuel pump looks identical to the one fitted on my 6 cylinder engine but presumably has a greater flow capacity?

Love it, sounds very sweet. I am very keen to see the chassis.

I guess the opening ceremony for the temp gauge was more exemplary than that for the tacho. Thanks so much Chris.

Oooo, you are a tease: I'm really interested to find out about the chassis - and, eventually, the body. Best wishes.

Fabulous work !!! We very much appreciate your attention to detail !

that is a seriously smooth running engine, pity about the tacho, good job

Yep great progress and yes want to see your chassis selection. That gearbox looks very sad and heavy hopefully not just rust inside. But I guess you’re going to be having fun cutting gears I have only cut straight gears internally will be fun.

That motor sounds incredibly quiet even without silencers!
