😂 the rags in the intake reminded me of my neighbor when I was a kid. He did that to everything he worked on. My dad had him rebuild a Packard automatic transmission, and he forgot some rags in it. One test drive, and dad converted the car to a manual. It was a beautiful 1954 black convertible Packard.
I had a 77 LTD 2 when I was younger and on the valve cover sticker it said 351/M400. Drove that car for 4yrs, put a boat load of miles on it! It had a rod knock for the 1st couple of seconds after you started it, but it ran like that since like a few months after I got it but it ran for years like that. It was still running when i sold it but the frame rotted in 2 so couldn't drive it any longer, loved that car! It was an LTD that had that "Starky and Hutch" stripe down the side, automatic on the floor, pretty cool car, bought it for 300 bucks in the late 80's.
Hi Mortske Sorry I missed you yesterday but I'm stuck in the hospital had surgery done...but I'm watching 👀 you today my friend good recovery video.....hi duff.
The best thing about Sunday night is that the next day is Mortske Monday…and Duff! Today was a reminder of the fundamentals; hard work, diagnostics, problem solving, more hard work, and completing the task. Not always as glamorous as it may seem…except for Duff Dog, that’s his job-love the Duff! Thanks Mortske.
Had a few of those Torinos growing up. That Cleveland will come ALIVE with a 650 Holley and electronic ignition. Had 2 /1971s and 2 / 1972s one was a 351cj 4speed ❤
Another thing I love about this channel, being over here in the UK quite a few cars I'm not familiar with turn up and that always adds an extra interest to it. Thanks Mort, great channel.
Not many Vauxhalls, Hillmans, or Bedford trucks over here. That said, he may eventually find a Triumph or MG to drag in. Would love to see what happens when he tears into some vintage Lucas electrics.
I was a licensed aircraft mechanic & worked on Bristol Freighters with Bristol Hercules sleeve valve engines. Rebuild shop left a red cotton shop rag in a cylinder. I was pulling bits of it out of the jug for hours after the sleeve valve diced it up
What was the advantage of having sleeve valves? I'd think it would make things more complicated. 🤔 I think my dad had a single cylinder cut-a-way model. I'm not sure if the sleeve was intending to move on it, only the piston moved.
With respect to the commentary about the 351W/351C/351M and the 427/428/429, it should be noted for anyone who doesn't know that Ford didn't classify engines by displacement, they're classified by design/family. So even though displacements may be identical or close to each other, they're all different, unique engines, hence why you couldn't swap many parts across them. Parts swapping *is* possible within each engine family, though.
It makes better business sense for parts to different displacement motors to be interchangeable? How so? Seems to me if you can snatch a part off another motor lying around than as far as business goes you just lost money because otherwise you would have to buy a part and your business makes money. I could be wrong, I did go to school for finance but this is more business model type stuff.
Great video and a nice car. I know you're not a big Ford guy but I appreciate that you work on many different cars and give all of them a hard time for their shortcomings. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas to you and Duff.
Tow truck tech tip. That T-handle sticking out of it toward the drivers side of the box. pull or push in and lock the winch will free spool. makes pulling it out to the car way easier.
Also, the 351 Cleveland came in two variations, maybe three if you count cams or valve train. There's a 2 bbl version with smaller chambers, and the 4bbl that had slightly larger chambers. The 4bbl had huge valves. The 2bbl still had big valves, only slightly smaller than the 4bbl. The four barrel was for higher rpm power, the 2 barrel was for low end. But both heads are great. They were wildly successful engines, once you modified some oiling problems. Even the 351m/400m have 600hp potential. They still make Cleveland type heads for small block engines.
A genuine North Dakota box truck. Nice! PS, thank you for all the supportive words and well wishes after my Chihuahua passed away. The Mortske community is solid people!
Ford did a great job with their door latches. if you have 14 water pump and 28 brake caliper options for your f100 at least the 4 trips to Napa you can shut the door with confidence
Ain't that the truth? I've had about 25-30 Fords, and the different water pumps, calipers, master cylinders, brake boosters, etc, for the SAME YEAR, MODEL, AND ENGINE, can drive ya nuts!
I find it funny how so many people praise Ford for their door latches. In the 5 or more 70's Ford vehicles I've dealt with, I fought with doors not closing right on every single one of them. Just bad luck I guess...
I had a 68 Torino GT fastback big block 4 speed. After spending a couple days changing the plugs. I took a torch to the fender wells get to the plugs. No more unbolting the motor mounts and jacking the motor up
I got kind of excited to see you picking up a Torino GT, to bad it was the low end option version. You have to love being out in a small farm town where you can load up a small building and run it thru the middle of town and back home with no issues. Good thing you have Mojo the small block whisperer whipping those engines back in shape.
Pretty cool! The coolest cat in my town tooled around in a "Cobra Jet" Torino.. I enjoyed the whole episode, but that garage moving part was my favorite!

Cleveland’s are very popular over here in Australia 3 of my cars have 351 Cleveland’s and one of them revs to 8500rpm with factory stamp steel rockers I bet none of your 350 chebbys will do that morske haha keep up the good work mate
Ol Leland has definitely seen better days. Drivetrain well worth your asking price. Im on the hunt for a 429 or 460 to swap into my 76 Gran Torino but Ill run the anemic 400 for awhile. Pretty slick moving job on the old garage!
I had a 73’ with the 460 PI . HAD , but Big Daddy bought it from me back in 2000. He really wanted the PI block. I guess it ended up in a drag car. 🤷♂️ But if you can find one that’s the motor you want. Super fast even stock. ✌️
@@theofficialdiamondlou2418 fir sure! The 400 in mine has been upgraded with a 4 barrel intake/carb and slight cam upgrade. Probably has 200-215 hp's now. Actually runs pretty darn good but yeah, a 385 series with double horsepower will make the big girl scoot!
@@theofficialdiamondlou2418 I'll be honest, I've yet to make a video on my channel but hope to get that ball rolling this year. Appreciate you subbing!!
I'm salivating over the electrical work done by the starting solenoid.. very VERY nice.. mmm.. love those crimp connectors, especially using them for what they're NOT made to do, that inline to a Y (why not I meant) oh baby gets my blood flowing!!
I was more of a GM guy back in the 70’s and 80’s. Working on Fords back in the day was a pain, for just what you said. Even the parts stores couldn’t get you the right parts, and going to the junk yard trying to find the parts was an all day adventure. I remember once trying to find a power steering pump for my wife’s 79 Mustang. We must have looked at 3 same year Mustangs, not only were they not the same as hers, but there was more than 1 other option. We wound up pulling one from a Pinto or Bobcat.
Yeah!!! I had mentioned getting a hold of a Torino a few years ago when I first started watching you. My dad had a 1970 GT as well. It was supposed to be mine, but my mother scrapped it when I was 14. I never let her forget about how much I loved that car.
@@MortskeRepair dude I could only wish to work with such a cool old man. I’m an old guy myself, but he reminds me of my childhood. My uncle was a great mechanic. I love your show bro love all your videos and I’m not some kind of freak either lol I watch your videos every time they come out I’m a truck driver been doing it 25 years, keep up the good work bro look up CTC auto ranch in Denton Texas and bring about 10 trailers with you. They got everything there 30s 40s 5060s and 70s and a few 80s cars nothing newer than that. Check it out you’ll like it Fryberger and Finnegan did a video therefrom the hot Rod magazine all right you tell Duff I said hi take it easy bro
Congrats Mort, you were mostly right on you description of the 351 saga, but I gotta tell ya you got a big C...Clevland OhiO, Yea!!It didn`t last long because it had an oiling problem. I worked at Ford in the early 70s and there was daily at lest 2 or three getting main bearings replaced in the dealership. so Ford engineers 'modified' the oiling system, hence, The Modified, and they put a big block bell housing on it. Then all they did was put a stroker crank in it and wala, da 400 big boy. My dream car I got was a 70 country squire with very faded woody sides. Interior very clean , body straight, 4v engine locked solid. I horse traded a 351c 2v heads and a bare block and a total rebuild kit , slammed it together stuffed it in da wagon and used the 4 v 2 1/4 factory exhaust . sounded GREAT, It had a 3;00 L(imited slip) so it hooked and hauled . I got it to use as a shop 'truck ' to replace my 71 one ton 4 door with a 428 and 4:11 gears ( about 5mpg) and now I`m getting 9mpg. I found a GT hood and hide a way headlites. Took it on a road trip to Oklahoma and got 12 mpg with my daughter in teh back telling me ever 15--20 miles....."daddy, I gootta go potty." So I made super time and mileage on that one., From then on I bought a motor home , so when I head the "Daddy I got" I said "OK go" and I went down the road.
@MortskeRepair Why do you answer comments with so much sarcasm all the time? You know as well as I do. If you're careful, you will not get water in everything or in the motor. It's not so much of the benefit of the motor being clean. But for you. Not getting as dirty, When you're working on it. That's all I was trying to say.
YOUR MISSING THE FUNKY ALUMINUM SPACER FORD USED ON A SHEETLOAD OF CARS WITH THE 2BBL AUTOLITE.ABOUT AN INCH THICK, HAD A BIG PORT FOR BRAKE BOOSTER TOO.
Used to know a guy back in HS that had a '70 SCJ with a 428. Same color - that dark choco color. He said he could pull the front wheels off the ground with it but you know how that goes some times. Those stripes on the sides glow in the dark - pretty cool car!
this Torino reminds of a mad max car. Congratulations on getting this thing going, and it sounds good. Amazing work. really enjoyed this video. I am not a ford guy either.
I was raised in Central Michigan and I delt with rust cars. If you have holes in the floor boards there's more than just surface rust. When there's holes in the quarter panels its more than surface rust
Laughed pretty hard at the rag under the carburetor thing. Reminds me of the times when I was younger and my dad and another guy on the farm used to prank each other, The old guy would stuff rags in his carb (sometimes stopped four times on the way home before he realized he was pranked)and my dad would tie giant rocks (boulders) to his steering wheel with bailing wire. There were many other pranks but those were the ones that stuck out in my memory especially after seeing this episode. Kind of like the classic hooking your horn to your break lol
23:12 with enough raw torque it doesn't matter if you're open or posi. Buddy of mine in high school bought someone else's project 67 Mustang that had a hotrod 351w/c6 combo in it. That thing, stuck in 2nd gear, with an open rear, on a 3500 stall converter, would indeed smoke both of 'em from a roll. 'Course it would diff out as well, but still. With enough engine you can get two wheel peels out of opens.
I have a Crower Monarch in a 283. nice rumpity idle. The motor is a 64 Impala 283 2 barrel that was a totaled car in 1965. The local dealership gave it and the powerglide to our high school which the metal shop used in a parade float until the early 90s. My buddy got the glide and i got the motor in 1994. His uncle had the Monarch cam on a shelf in his garage . The cam had been in a 327 Vega wagon and was put on the shelf in the late 70s til I got it. Anyway its a cool vintage cam that Crower actually still sells.
A lot of people in the 70s bolted the Cleveland heads onto the Windsor because they have canted valves. The Windsor has a bigger main journal at 3 inches than the Cleveland with the 2.75 main journal.
Great video! The engine sounds awesome! I caught his that 70s show reference. When Fez told Kelso he "would pay tens of dollars" for his ford delivery van. 😊
Ok. That’s a first. Hauling a building with a roll back 🤣 Whatever gets the job done right? Great job getting that crusty old Torino running. Too bad there’s not much left. Bet she was a cool car back in her day. Thanks Mortske!!
I'm not a Ford guy, but I've always thought highly of them. Ford didn't take the government bailout in 2008. GM and Chrysler did. Anyways, i like the looks of that Torino. Too bad it's such bad shape. I hope someone saves it.
My mom had a '71 Torino with a 302, was a beautiful metallic brown color with a red oxidized primer fender, it had cragars of course and rear air shocks lol.
Congratulations on the start of the Torino. Definitely a project car. You mentioned the spark plugs how hard they were. I Had a 1969Torino Cobra. 428 Had to jack the engine to change the rear ones. You can flip for a song as a project car. Thanks for sharing! 💯👍👊
What a Swingin Machine ! My Uncle had a 70 Torino 500 when I was a kid in the 80s. We called it The Bondo Buggy. It was mostly Bondo on the bottom half. Probably more rust than this one. Always thought these were Kool Cars even though Im a Mopar Guy. Another Great Vid and Thank You for the Gratuitous Burnout.
My kid ended up with a free ford taurus back a couple years ago. It needed plugs. We pulled the upper plenum off to get at the back ones. Anywhere it was getting late so I stuffed paper towels down the holes. Then my kid cranked it over and sucked all the paper towels into the engine. It was fine. Had it been red rags it would have been curtains for the old 3 liter. Nice video as always!
The word you were looking for at 1:08:00 is manifest. :) and yes you can put clev heads on a 289/302 block but it takes special head bolts, adaptive intake and you have to drill for water jackets b/c the windsor has wet intake. I saw an article in Hot Rod mag in the 70's about it and actually built one because I had access to a machine shopI had a friend who was a machinist who worked in an engine rebuilding shop. Learned a lot working there after school. RIP Ernest.
351W was from the Windsor lineup with the 6-bolt small block pattern, the 351 Cleveland was a 335 series small block with a big block bolt pattern, the 351M was also a 335 series originally stroked to 400. When the 351C was phased out the 351M reverted to the Cleveland stroke. Both had the big block bolt pattern. The 427 and 428 were FE engines, 427 was designed for high RPM race applications, the 428 was the mass market version with better torque and lower RPM ranges. The 429 and 460 were derived from the 385 series and became the king of Ford power in the muscle car era. Side note, 460's can be bored and stroked to 557ci, the MOPAR 440 can make it to 541, but poor old Chebby MkIV 454 can only make it to 511 and that is just a few casings from 69-73. MkIV's from the 1974 to 1990 can only make it to 496. The Gen V/IV engines are just boat anchors, as Fuzzy Dice has discovered.
@@_Frank_the_Tank The Windsor was the everyday design from the late 50's. The 355 was more of a commercial application and was a mid 60's design. The 351C, when built right, will out perform the Windsor. The M was just coat hangar abortion of a bad idea. 351C had MONSTER torque possibilities beyond the Windsor, hense it use in medium duty and heavy duty trucks. But a lot of drag guys loved it. The 351M, actually a 400, just liked to break rods.
Good thing you pumped the water throughout the engine before you drained it most people remove the water before cranking the engine over a bunch of times but not Mortske he makes sure all the internals are filled with water before draining it that way the lifters are pumped up with water and all the bearings got cleaned so it will have great oil pressure.
It looks like there were a few barley pops involved in this Torino’s past or last adventure!! Had a 68 model that ended up on its top once while on its way to get some barley pops!!
😂 the rags in the intake reminded me of my neighbor when I was a kid. He did that to everything he worked on. My dad had him rebuild a Packard automatic transmission, and he forgot some rags in it. One test drive, and dad converted the car to a manual. It was a beautiful 1954 black convertible Packard.
I've been waiting years to see a 70/71 torino on any channel. My absolutely favorite car. Keep it up.
I had a 77 LTD 2 when I was younger and on the valve cover sticker it said 351/M400. Drove that car for 4yrs, put a boat load of miles on it! It had a rod knock for the 1st couple of seconds after you started it, but it ran like that since like a few months after I got it but it ran for years like that. It was still running when i sold it but the frame rotted in 2 so couldn't drive it any longer, loved that car! It was an LTD that had that "Starky and Hutch" stripe down the side, automatic on the floor, pretty cool car, bought it for 300 bucks in the late 80's.

That one looks like a bueat Clark! Can’t wait to watch tonight.

Yeah, I tried, unfortunately it won't free wheel. Need to pull it all apart and clean and lube it before I lose my mind

God jobb saving that old Torino
351 Cleveland engines sound great.
More fords pleas sir 😁
Greatings from Sweden 😉 2:12:23
That is a pretty rare package. Looks like it may be past its prime though.
Congrats Mort, you were mostly right on you description of the 351 saga, but I gotta tell ya you got a big C...Clevland OhiO, Yea!!It didn`t last long because it had an oiling problem. I worked at Ford in the early 70s and there was daily at lest 2 or three getting main bearings replaced in the dealership. so Ford engineers 'modified' the oiling system, hence, The Modified, and they put a big block bell housing on it. Then all they did was put a stroker crank in it and wala, da 400 big boy. My dream car I got was a 70 country squire with very faded woody sides. Interior very clean , body straight, 4v engine locked solid. I horse traded a 351c 2v heads and a bare block and a total rebuild kit , slammed it together stuffed it in da wagon and used the 4 v 2 1/4 factory exhaust . sounded GREAT, It had a 3;00 L(imited slip) so it hooked and hauled . I got it to use as a shop 'truck ' to replace my 71 one ton 4 door with a 428 and 4:11 gears ( about 5mpg) and now I`m getting 9mpg. I found a GT hood and hide a way headlites. Took it on a road trip to Oklahoma and got 12 mpg with my daughter in teh back telling me ever 15--20 miles....."daddy, I gootta go potty." So I made super time and mileage on that one., From then on I bought a motor home , so when I head the "Daddy I got" I said "OK go" and I went down the road.
Probably wouldn't hurt to power Wash the motor off before you started to work on it, just saying.😊
why would I wash something if we didn't even know if it was any good? To fill it with more water?
@MortskeRepair Why do you answer comments with so much sarcasm all the time? You know as well as I do. If you're careful, you will not get water in everything or in the motor. It's not so much of the benefit of the motor being clean. But for you. Not getting as dirty, When you're working on it. That's all I was trying to say.
Nothing better Than A Mortske Monday ! Old Leland did lay patch! Cool you got to work on what was left of a childhood memory
Wow, for being such a steaming pile, that engine sure sounded good during the burnout!
YOUR MISSING THE FUNKY ALUMINUM SPACER FORD USED ON A SHEETLOAD OF CARS WITH THE 2BBL AUTOLITE.ABOUT AN INCH THICK, HAD A BIG PORT FOR BRAKE BOOSTER TOO.
Used to know a guy back in HS that had a '70 SCJ with a 428. Same color - that dark choco color. He said he could pull the front wheels off the ground with it but you know how that goes some times. Those stripes on the sides glow in the dark - pretty cool car!
Sweet
428SCJs would have been Mustangs and Cougars, in 1970. 429SCJS would have been the Torino’s and Mercury Cyclone’s
I just read one the other day that said the 429 didn't come out with the Torino until '71.

this Torino reminds of a mad max car. Congratulations on getting this thing going, and it sounds good. Amazing work. really enjoyed this video. I am not a ford guy either.
I was raised in Central Michigan and I delt with rust cars. If you have holes in the floor boards there's more than just surface rust. When there's holes in the quarter panels its more than surface rust
“English Skid Steer”😂. More great adventures of Mortske and Duff!
Mortske Repair Hello Friend i just wanted to say Happy Holidays to you and your family and the Dog Duff 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪💪👍👍👍👍🎅🎅🎄🎄🎄🍻🍻🔥🔥🎂
Same to you!
Laughed pretty hard at the rag under the carburetor thing. Reminds me of the times when I was younger and my dad and another guy on the farm used to prank each other, The old guy would stuff rags in his carb (sometimes stopped four times on the way home before he realized he was pranked)and my dad would tie giant rocks (boulders) to his steering wheel with bailing wire. There were many other pranks but those were the ones that stuck out in my memory especially after seeing this episode. Kind of like the classic hooking your horn to your break lol
I had a 71 Mach1 351 Cleveland and I did 150 in Death Valley in the early 80s
23:12 with enough raw torque it doesn't matter if you're open or posi. Buddy of mine in high school bought someone else's project 67 Mustang that had a hotrod 351w/c6 combo in it. That thing, stuck in 2nd gear, with an open rear, on a 3500 stall converter, would indeed smoke both of 'em from a roll. 'Course it would diff out as well, but still. With enough engine you can get two wheel peels out of opens.
I have a Crower Monarch in a 283. nice rumpity idle. The motor is a 64 Impala 283 2 barrel that was a totaled car in 1965. The local dealership gave it and the powerglide to our high school which the metal shop used in a parade float until the early 90s. My buddy got the glide and i got the motor in 1994. His uncle had the Monarch cam on a shelf in his garage . The cam had been in a 327 Vega wagon and was put on the shelf in the late 70s til I got it. Anyway its a cool vintage cam that Crower actually still sells.
Awesome!
Car was owned by Leyland Erickson he created a combine header for flax and milo. I bought Terry ericksons 77 Lincoln continental. Back in the day.

You gave a whole new meaning to Motor Home at the end, Mortske!
That angled plug is what made both tires spin at the same time 😮
The roll back with a garage on it is still better than the crap Washington states allows on the road!!! Great Video Thank you
Right on
Cinco da drinko. Man that put a smile on my face . Thanks
A lot of people in the 70s bolted the Cleveland heads onto the Windsor because they have canted valves. The Windsor has a bigger main journal at 3 inches than the Cleveland with the 2.75 main journal.
interesting
Great video! The engine sounds awesome!
I caught his that 70s show reference. When Fez told Kelso he "would pay tens of dollars" for his ford delivery van. 😊
That "By the power of GreySkull" cracks me up every time! 😂
57:40 I was thinking people in flint be jealous of that ford spring block water
This one hits really close to home...my first car at age eighteen was a 70 Torino with an inline 250 in it...I really wish I'd have kept that car....
My little magnetic "Got screwed by Mortske" screwdriver is coming in handy already with mower carb stuff. Gotta love that.
dang right!
Ok. That’s a first. Hauling a building with a roll back 🤣 Whatever gets the job done right? Great job getting that crusty old Torino running. Too bad there’s not much left. Bet she was a cool car back in her day. Thanks Mortske!!
I'm not a Ford guy, but I've always thought highly of them. Ford didn't take the government bailout in 2008. GM and Chrysler did. Anyways, i like the looks of that Torino. Too bad it's such bad shape. I hope someone saves it.
My mom had a '71 Torino with a 302, was a beautiful metallic brown color with a red oxidized primer fender, it had cragars of course and rear air shocks lol.
Congratulations on the start of the Torino. Definitely a project car. You mentioned the spark plugs how hard they were. I Had a 1969Torino Cobra. 428 Had to jack the engine to change the rear ones. You can flip for a song as a project car. Thanks for sharing!
💯👍👊
The 69 was much better looking and sleeker. The ULTIMATE Fastback.
Thanks for the video Mr. Mortske.
Great to see the new shop and Pablo didn’t take long to get adjusted lol
Ohhhh!!!
Grand Torino ❤
Just started watching..
I definitely will watch all of it😊
Thank you Mortske.
Duff.. Get that Bird
Enjoy!
Nice seeing Mojo in action also👍
Cheers Mojo
What a Swingin Machine ! My Uncle had a 70 Torino 500 when I was a kid in the 80s. We called it The Bondo Buggy. It was mostly Bondo on the bottom half. Probably more rust than this one. Always thought these were Kool Cars even though Im a Mopar Guy. Another Great Vid and Thank You for the Gratuitous Burnout.
Our pleasure
My kid ended up with a free ford taurus back a couple years ago. It needed plugs. We pulled the upper plenum off to get at the back ones. Anywhere it was getting late so I stuffed paper towels down the holes. Then my kid cranked it over and sucked all the paper towels into the engine. It was fine. Had it been red rags it would have been curtains for the old 3 liter. Nice video as always!
classic!
I don't care about the negative stuff great video ❤❤❤❤
thank you
🗿💨 that crowler cam had some serious duration on them lobes 🌘🌒 Nearly soiled my bean bag chair seeing that. Thanks for sharing Mortske 👍
Just saw what ya pulled out of intake, time to replace my shorts,😂
Exh + - 32 intake bout 26.. bout 1.40 into video 😅 Truck stops are awesome, lol
The word you were looking for at 1:08:00 is manifest. :) and yes you can put clev heads on a 289/302 block but it takes special head bolts, adaptive intake and you have to drill for water jackets b/c the windsor has wet intake. I saw an article in Hot Rod mag in the 70's about it and actually built one because I had access to a machine shopI had a friend who was a machinist who worked in an engine rebuilding shop. Learned a lot working there after school. RIP Ernest.
Isn’t the Boss 302 Cleveland heads on a Windsor?
Thank you, Duff, for the video.
351W was from the Windsor lineup with the 6-bolt small block pattern, the 351 Cleveland was a 335 series small block with a big block bolt pattern, the 351M was also a 335 series originally stroked to 400. When the 351C was phased out the 351M reverted to the Cleveland stroke. Both had the big block bolt pattern. The 427 and 428 were FE engines, 427 was designed for high RPM race applications, the 428 was the mass market version with better torque and lower RPM ranges. The 429 and 460 were derived from the 385 series and became the king of Ford power in the muscle car era. Side note, 460's can be bored and stroked to 557ci, the MOPAR 440 can make it to 541, but poor old Chebby MkIV 454 can only make it to 511 and that is just a few casings from 69-73. MkIV's from the 1974 to 1990 can only make it to 496. The Gen V/IV engines are just boat anchors, as Fuzzy Dice has discovered.
thanks for the info!
Why did Ford need three different 351s? Same reason GM needed four different 350s... 🤷
@@_Frank_the_Tank The Windsor was the everyday design from the late 50's. The 355 was more of a commercial application and was a mid 60's design. The 351C, when built right, will out perform the Windsor. The M was just coat hangar abortion of a bad idea. 351C had MONSTER torque possibilities beyond the Windsor, hense it use in medium duty and heavy duty trucks. But a lot of drag guys loved it. The 351M, actually a 400, just liked to break rods.
@@_Frank_the_Tank2 technically. The 351M and 400 is a variant of the 351C.
The way Mortske Duff and Mojo build a motorhome . Priceless !
No holding back
Good thing you pumped the water throughout the engine before you drained it most people remove the water before cranking the engine over a bunch of times but not Mortske he makes sure all the internals are filled with water before draining it that way the lifters are pumped up with water and all the bearings got cleaned so it will have great oil pressure.
Thanks Mr. Mortske! Great to see that ol' beat up Torino doing burnouts again!
Happy Mortske Monday! Gotta add the rags and moving a shed with a rollback to my list of stuff I never thought i’d see! 😂😂
But wait, there's more!
Torino sounds good with the side pipes ! Moving that building was cool to watch ! Take care !
I enjoy watching you work on prehistoric technology for engines have gotten way better glad you're making money in the glad you're still a market
Thank you very much!
It looks like there were a few barley pops involved in this Torino’s past or last adventure!! Had a 68 model that ended up on its top once while on its way to get some barley pops!!
