Video was tanking in views, just like the last flathead video, so I changed the title and thumbnail. None of you care about my Woodie, it seems. Liking and commenting might help :(
It's such a pretty car how could you NOT love the old ford
Because millennials can’t appreciate a beautiful ride
I like your Woodie. I need to look at old cars, to remind me of a simpler time.
Love it, wish I could find something like that in the UK!
I like the Woodie! It's got such character in addition to being an interesting contrast to modern machines. Plus the wood!
Hoovie: *car knocks* "OH NO"
The Wizard: *car knocks* "Let me see how much a private island costs"
T. S they are not that much. Check out my private island in Maine videos 👍

inb4 people get whooshed anf think they’re smart by calling you an idiot
@@johnsmith1474 What and idiot you are.
Paul Petitot lol the wizard is a very rich man
I'm always impressed by how little the Wizard charges. No one in Massachusetts is that inexpensive.
Lol Wizard isn't that rich. He has 2 teenage daughters. Imagine how much he spends just on toilet paper...
The car wizard's shop has turned into Hoovies car storage 🤣
How expensive IS Kansas land, that you have to rent space at a mechanic's shop!
When he goes to sell one I bet the ad will say “garage kept” 😭
I'm pretty sure I could convince a kid that Car Wizard lives in Hoovie's 2nd garage.
The Car Wizard's shop has turned into Hoovies garage

It's scary to look around Wizard's garage and realize how many cars Hoovie has in there. ;-)

Sad but true.
Tyler has 6 AMAZING! with the wizard that are fantastic
Agree...The Car Wizard; powered by Hoovie!
Make sure to save all the old parts u take off. I think the car's real value is as a very clean survivor. Can't remember seeing a nicer "51 Ford, much less a Woody wagon. Be careful and don't mess it up! Bob
I agree...that way someone can restore back to an original museum specimen someday if they want to...including the old 6v ignition, LOL! Too bad they don't make repro cloth wiring...but out of a modern safer kind of cloth.
If it was up to me, I definitely wouldn't do any mod on it, except changing the wiring harness to keep out the fire hazard and bring back life to the dash. I'd even repair the factory tube AM radio to enhance the time-travel experience... this car's value is really in its originality.
@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 Actually, you can get cloth insulated wiring. It's custom made, incredibly expensive, and not actually intended for use. It's basically relegated to high end museum pieces.
Modern cars: don’t run when a wire is disconnected
Old ford: runs with half its engine disabled
Exactly. and then there's the DEF bullshit that the government mandates whee is that runs dry, your truck will go into limp mode and shut down.
Modern Cars: limp mode when a sensor fails that is supposed to tell you which sensor has failed. Oh and what classifies as a failure? .002 more resistance in the wire.
@@muskokamike127 I used to have a 95 Chrysler Concorde with the 24 valve V6. That engine had 2 sensors, each on the end of a camshaft in each head, that would determine the ignition timing. If either sensor failed, the engine wouldn't start, so the whole system had 1/2 the reliability of either sensor. That was one of the many reasons we traded that car in for an 01 Acura TL, which we're still using today.
@@Andrew-ep4kw over half the failures of modern engines is the electronics and sensors that are supposed to make them so reliable. What did I say reliable? I meant UNreliable.
*Then:* running an engine without a cylinder head
*Now:* even a burnt headbulb can prevent you to start the car
I didn't know that could be done.
*coughs in bmw*
Apex Seal lol yes. Turn signal out. Runs rough lol
Map light goes out
*Throws a check engine*
It's got its cylinder head, its just missing the cover. But yeah, I get your point.
Love the Flathead content! Thank you for keeping the hot-rodding period correct. This thing is awesome.
I never thought I'd adore a Ford nearly as much as I like that one.
Ford made some cool stuff mid last century
its a ford so its still gay
yung tooli nothing wrong with homosexuality but a car can’t be gay. I don’t understand why people are so hung up on brand wars. You care more than the companies do about their rivalries.
That really is a beautiful old ford
I like the woody, and I'm in my 30s! Glad you went with offy intake - They've recently been struggling due to the pandemic! Supporting small "legacy" businesses is awesome! modern cars are boring! you should build a hot rod next, a model a or 32!
Also, I think it's cool how you're modifying hot rod style like someone in the fifties would have.
It's called period correct modifications.
@chris younts Did they have blower's then?
Maurice Motors German engineers were putting them on cars in the 1920s.
Period correct except for the 12 volt system. If you’re putting 12V on anyway, why put two carbs on when you could hack in throttle body injection.
@@mauricemotors8207 yes. A common supercharger to use was a roots style. Detroit was using them on their 2 stroke diesels from the late 30's up until the 90's.
Watching that flathead run with one head off just blew my friggin mind!!
Yeah, I didn't know you could do that. Not for long though, no cooling.
Yeah I didn't know that was possible
@@olliehopnoodle4628 i had a first gen civic once that engine could run when it should not. I bet if you could take half the head off that engine it would run.... i always thought that little engine was quite a masterpiece, lightweight, ohc, only the ignition gave me stress. It could even break the timing belt with no issues. That is a great thing!!!!
I had a 53 mercury flat head in a 41 ford business coupe!! I had an Offenhauser tri-power intake manifold with three Stromberg 97's progressively linked.
This was a real pain to keep adjusted properly with three carburetors. I opted to go back to a single carb polished and ported intake manifold and purchased an aluminum adapter for a small Rochester 4 barrel Carburetor (56 Chevy 265 cid.) with manual progressive linkage that used 2 barrels up until throttle was more than half open (adjustable). Worked very well!! Low idle was 2 barrel almost the same as the Ford carb, but after that came on very powerful. This was a great set-up for me. Simple Idle adj. and mixture adjustment . Wide open fuel mixture was almost perfect for max performance without too rich of a mixture for top end performance!! Good luck on your build. You are probably over powering this motor for the stock crankshaft and bearings. Also overheating is a problem for the flathead. You need really good (high flow) water pumps and the best large copper radiator you can find. Possibly an electric fan in front. The cooling is very in-efficient in these motors.
Also use the best head gaskets money can buy with these higher compression heads. Most of the old timers took out the motor and gave it a complete overhaul with all of the parts replaced and matched with the horsepower rating desired!!!
Maybe I’m one of the few, but that ford woodie is my favorite vehicle of yours, Tyler. I look forward to seeing the updates on it in the future, and thanks for sharing!
That woodie wagon is fine AF...I WAUNT IT
everytime I think about buying a car, I just watch one of hoovies videos instead. I've literally saved thousands...
Me too, he literally saved me from a couple of 7 series BMWs and a Quattroporte. Unfortunately he didnt get a Jaguar XJS V12 in time..........................
Mark but it's a jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag. You can just walk up to your local shop, have them fix it, and walk out without paying... because it's a jaaaaag.
At least that's what Jeremy Clarkson says. YMMV :)
Excellent video. Love the woodie's engine running on its own. 90-year-old technology. Can't beat it! Hurry up with the next installment. I can't wait to see your upgrades installed.
Congrats on 1 million. You 100% deserve it!!!!
Yay, Flathead V8 :) I had just commented about that, coupla days back?
Privileged Society, Hoovie - Never toughed it out?
I do remember, the bolts on the flathead & when I got it off, the original, copper, head gasket, looked brand, spanking, shiny new.
Reason for overhaul was, compression loss & oil consumption. Back in 1937 - That 85 HP engine, ran on monograde oil -
No filter - Only, oil pick-up screen... Skull, distributor, keyed to the front of the nylon, helical, camshaft drive gear...
Offenhauser & Edelbrock came to be known, decades later... There was a water pump on each bank - Integral with the engine mounts... Mechanical, cable brakes... Vacuum wiper... Vapour lock, fuel pump - Fixed by wet rag, atop?
Safety of steel - From Pedal to Wheel? Any Colour - So long as it's Black?... Rust & Bullet Proof Vanadium steel, body...
Transverse, leaf springs/ Friction, shock absorbers… Good Ol' Henry :)
That’s strange British cars are usually very reliable
xD killed me
Maybe johnny needs to look at the Bentley
Good one
rofl, that's some class A sarcasm right there
You got jokes
I love the woodie Hoovie! TH-cam is full of boring new cars. Old cars and the way they were made is really nice for a change.
It's such a cool car. Love the looks of it, love the Flathead. Of the more recent purchases this is by far the most exciting to me.
Good stuff, Tyler. Thank you. I enjoyed seeing the inner workings of a flat head and can appreciate the simplicity of those old models.
I love the wagon! Keep it in the video rotation, please.
Cylinder deactivation taken to the extreme!
Love that 51 Ford! Can't wait to see the engine dressed up with some hotrod parts!
Performance parts for the flathead look awesome. Love the heads, intake, & carbs. You are really building your '51 right, Tyler.
Loving the Woody Hoovie and love you're doing some period mods to that legendary engine! Keep the updates coming!
I love how you're hot rodding it in a classic way, keeping it period. That is very cool
I swear Tyler, you're probably the soul reason that the Car Wizard was able to keep his shop open andrunning during quarantine haha
@:::::::::::::: You missed the "I am a " bit out
Nah, he would have been fine either way.
There was a quarantine?
@@matthannah4621
No kidding! I work at Lowe's and you sure as hell couldn't tell it by the crowds of people who were in my store every freeking day. We had 350+ at any given time and my store is not that big.
Robert Alexander I have never seen Lowe’s this busy. People stay at home and they immediately want to fix, plant and paint all kinds of shit.
I love the flat head v8 brought back a few memories. My Granddad had purchased a 54 Victoria a few months before he passed, never got a chance to work on it with him but we did get to drive it together. First time driving a 3 on the tree. Beautiful ford, looking forward to more content on it
R2D2 in Latin American countries is also known as “Arturito” which stands for “Little Arthur.” Because R2D2 sounds very similar to Arturito. Why is this relevant? Because It’s not.
Hey Hoovie! Check your camera and render output. I'm seeing a bad jitter happening. A good example is around 7:57. Check your memory cards also. If they haven't been replaced in a while they might be wearing out and causing dropped frames. (Which is what this looks like.) Thanks for keeping us sane during the quarantine.
When will you Americans finally realize that "Made in Britain" is a warning label?!?
Lol
All european cars have issues tbh
Made in Italy is a title to a horror show lol
Yeah,just like the Rolls Royce Merlin you fitted in the Mustang!😁
Made in US = hopeless junk
That party trick is so cool, such a nice car and the upgrades you are doing! Really gives the car a safe edge yet doesn’t alter anything in it’s character
This channel should be called The Wizard's Garage full of Hoovies Cars. LOL
Hoopties he says lol
You would think he would just buy the garage lol
The Little Shop of Hoovies
I had a ‘50 ford coupe with the bullet nose. Flathead V8 unmolested. Loved it. I actually daily drove it back in the early 90’s.
As always an excellent video Hoovie. Thanks for the best content on youtube!
Just like to thank you for continuing to make content during the covid outbreak! Your videos are interesting and entertaining and my personal highlight on TH-cam. Thanks again LLAP
Deserved a like just because Tyler had to do some man work
Hoovie!!! You did actual mechanic wrenching. Didn't know you could! Congrats
Dude that flathead running with half the cylinders is amazing
Love the woody Tyler, keep adding videos. I had a Aston, when the battery got low it triggered all sorts of idiot lights etc. had a Jaguar XKR same thing. Invest in a hand held reader, especially if you keep buying BMW’s I owned a 740il if you farted in the seat it would trigger a warning light.
Love it when Tyler does his own work
Love the woody- this era is when the big 3 started building really amazing rides. I have a 52 Chev Coupe myself so I can appreciate where you are coming from. Seems the new gen just wants to see civic type r's and hellcats nowadays.
i love that your working on a flathead
Same hood error in my Jag. Just bypassed the switched. I've gone all my life without a bonnet open warning light. Reckon I can manage to close it without warning bells now.
I love that Ford, I just want to take it on a road trip.
Had a 51 Woodie back in 68. Bought it to use as a demo derby racer. These things were a tank, the door weighed at least 70 lbs It was dark green and not as Cherry as yours but real nice. Couldn't bring myself to wreak it. Sold it to a bud. Oh crap my keyboard is spazeing out. I guess it's not tear proof. Thanks for the memories.
Can we just admit that The Car Wizard is Hoovies private mechanic lol
I think he gives him a W2 at the end of the year.
The Car Wizard is to Tyler, what the hotdog vendor is to Homer Simpson; "He's puttin' my kids through college!"
He has like 10 of Hoovie's cars and maybe 3 others. I think you're right!
What a great old Ford! Glad you did some wrenching yourself, never knew they could run with one head missing.
I love the 51 Ford content.
It was nice to see the video in real time of the intake, compression, combustion and exhaust process in the woddie engine bay 😊
I love your car collection!!
Might be a silly question, but I wonder why you can’t see a tiny mist of atomized fuel being sprayed into open cylinders. Another thing I realized is with no valves, no need to lubricate anything on the top end, so no oil spray. I’m glad I got to see it. Thank you:)
When he's gonna start selling his car on Doug's website?
when he's gonna start buying his cars on Doug's website*
@@freakymrq "This week on Hovies Garage, I buy the cheapest car on Doug's new website."
E63 Merc bid didn't go as planned
Addictive_LiquoriCe what happened
Addictive_LiquoriCe yeah what happen
I love that Hoovie never says "umm" or "Uhh" while he's talking. He pauses to pick his words. Sign of a great speaker. I wonder if he's done toastmasters or something.
Lol he said it twice while I was reading your post...around minute 8:30. But overall he says it way less then I would if in his place.
My nephew is the type who would have reached into one of the cylinders to see if it was really running. He's an idiot.
first laugh of the day...thanks
Natural Selection in action?
Nothing wrong with that, as long as you keep your fingers out of the valves.
@@davidattig7301 and not jam it it fully extended.
Hey. Its Dougs uncle.
Bentley suggestion! I had a 1990 500SL with the Bosch fuel injection system, it had a stumbling and a misfire. I brought it to a mechanic I trust and he did a pressure check, because it is mechanical fuel injection system it is heavily dependent on pressure, so slight fluctuations can mess it up. He replaced the fuel pumps and the problem went away. That was after I put a new fuel distributor, injectors, idle air control valve, intake manifold gasket. It turned out to be so simple as a fuel pump.
Car Wizard: it is very simple 8:28
Me: who's tackling the engine? 🤔🤔
WOW! I just never thought of that, even with the bit of experience I had working on my 1936 Ford. But the flat head V8 basically is like two individual 4 cylinder engines put side by side with individual ignitions & individual water circulation systems. That's amazing. :-)
The music sounds like an early 80s after school special. lol
It always does
It sounds like something out of a John Hughes movie.
80's Monster truck and mud bog videos on VHS
I love the theme song!
It sounds lhe the theme tune on SHOW ME THE MONEY pokie machine on free games
On the farm I grew up on, we had a 4 ton '49 Ford dump truck with the flat head v8. My dad had it since new. You can imagine how power challenged a dump truck is with that flat head engine. I learned how to double clutch every shift as there were no syncromesh tranies in those days.
How the Wizard reacts to the quote "It annoy's me!" ^^
He seems to be realy upset about that! ^^
This is one of my favorite videos you have done. Thanks. I can't wait to see the motor after you finish it. Also, see the increased performance.
Love this channel!
Cool parts Hoovie!!! Phase two is a blower and Ardun head conversion.
The ford brought me here. "Keep It Simple Hoovie" fits the woodie perfectly.
You have so many great cars at this time!! The Ford, the Bentley, the Mustang. Lots of cool rides in your collection right now. You’ve even managed to give me an appreciation for Prowlers. Great job!!!
Half of the car wizards business comes from Hoovie lol
The Wizard also re-sells farming equipment, has a TH-cam channel etc.
Hes said about 30% of his business is hoovie
@@W00fer I think that's crazy D's thing.
Love the old woody. My dad had one and we used to take it camping with a little tent trailer. Good memories. Great rig.
I love his videos thank you for producing amazing videos Hoovies
You mean the wizard?
@@aquaticasmr184 no I mean Hoovies
@@_boosted_photos_ i know what you mean just english wasnt 100%
But still amazing good if you didnt speak English fish
You mean "i love your videos hoovie thank you for producing amazing videos"
@@_boosted_photos_ And when you say his I think you mean the wizard but i get you its all good
I dig the yellow wheels..some Kidney bean Bonneville wheels would look amazing as well.
The 51' is beautiful
My 2010 Rapide had exactly the same problem this month! I live in the UK and Chiltern Aston (the independent I use) diagnosed the fault as a faulty bonnet latch. Also, it’s important to fix because the windscreen wipers don’t work if the car thinks the bonnet is open. I discovered this when it was raining and driving on the motorway-scary! Just some other facts: the black textured paint on the wing mirrors will start to peel off - there are no wing mirrors left for the Rapide. Also, do you have a rocker switch under the headlamp light switch cluster? No one seems to know what it does... not even Aston! It’s great you have brought awareness of this car to your audience’s attention. It’s such a great GT and sports car and is much more exciting than anything from Bentley or Mercedes. Please let us know how you fixed the fault.
Ahhhhhh damn, you completely missed the opportunity for a great intro.
"Check out my new completely transparent heads."
Love seeing these videos on this old flat head Ford! That was an awesome party trick to see! Must be really special in person!
I’m waiting for a video to be called “I have purchased the cheapest Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT in the United States”
My dad had a 1950 Mercury 'sled', 2 door coupe for his work car. I remember working on that car, flathead and all. It still had the 6 volt system, and oil bath air filter. And my dad, not wanting to spend $ on extras, would use a roll of toilet paper, without the tube in it as the oil filter, in the cannister by the fire wall. it must have worked, he drove it that way for years. Thanks for the memory.
Now that’s an engine!
The only vehicle my Grandad ever purchased new was a black, '51 Ford sedan with the flathead V-8. When I was still a pre-teen (a LONG time ago) the area Ford-Massey Ferguson tractor dealer use to send out his head mechanic, prior to planting season, to tune up and/or repair any of his customers tractors. What was also common, in our rural area at the time at least, was for that SAME mechanic to tune up and/or repair the many Ford cars and trucks farmers owned and operated along with those tractors. Since I was just a kid I found it interesting but not at all unusual to see a flathead run without it's "heads"....I just figured that was the way things were supposed to work.
That’s so cool keep up the great work
I have made several 6 to 12 Volt conversions and have changed the starter motor to 12 V with just a few inches of copper brake pipe and insulation. It is a common thing done to even model A cars.
I love that Ford!!!
I like how you stay so simple and true to your channel’s core mission. Your channel is not one big flex like vehicle virgins.
Lmao the wizard must love you. You're probably funding his whole life
He claims the wizard as a dependent! Love that old Ford!
I think every shop would love a Hoovie. Only one shop worthy of it tho so all the Hoovies are taken. I'd love a Wizard but I can't afford a hooptie fleet like that and all the wizards are taken too
In a world of bad news and anxiety, I can always turn to Hoovie for something pleasant and escapist. Thank you.
31 seconds later and I'm here
I love the Woodie! I'd love to see you add some period high performance flathead parts with a dyno before and after to see how much power they were really good for!
Those old flatheads and some newer engines were also used as air compressors. They just replace one head with a air compressor head and ran the engine on the other four cylinders. There's an idea for you Hoovie!

One of the coolest cars you’ve bought so far Tyler. This reminds me of the old cars my grandpa used to restore.
9 views but 43 likes... seems legit
It’s the fbi or whatever
Watching you take that head off took me back to when I was 14 or 15 doing the same thing on my father's '48 Mercury (rebadged Ford) pickup which had the same engine. It was the first chance I got to work on a car engine, although I had dreamed about it for years. When I got the head off. like you, I was so proud I had to show it to someone. I carried it into the house much to my mother's horror. My father had a very similar woody, a '50 or '51.
My mom used to run the the American Racing electro-plating facility in LA when they were chrome plating wheels for the Prowler. I got to see it, it was pretty cool. But those rear wheels are SO BIG they lost about 40% of them to plating defects in the process (the Enron-era rolling brown-outs didn't help), that's why they eventually stopped plating them and went to paint.
This is one of the coolest videos you’ve done. For a mechanic like Wizard who has seen everything, to be amazed by that is pretty neat.
I love the 51!! There is nothing wrong with 6 volts. The wiring definitely needs replacing though. Still a lot of amps in a 6 volt battery. A woody wagon would make a spectacular fire!!
Fantastic start of a single row V8! Never seen it! ...WOW -- nice to see the valves opening etc.
Tyler, I love the '51 Woodie... love the Flathead... Once upon a time I had Ford Flathead (all in pieces) intention was to buy a rolling chassis for a 32 Ford and make a retro rod... finally sold the engine after never having the funds to start the project for 20 years...
PLEASE don't ever sell or trade it away!!!
Older cars were so satisfying to work on due to simplicity. I had an old ‘64 Plymouth Fury with a 225 ci slant six. Replacing the water pump was a 30 min job. Replace the alternator was about 20 minutes.
