You never cease to amaze me. Someone as young as you being such a skilled old-school all-around mechanic is absolutely incredible. Each video is a master class in restoration.
You make the best videos and without any chatter like bla bla bla. Something happens in your videos and you can see everything, no words are needed. Give your cat a big kiss
Thank you for not soiling that Ford with a SBC or LS swap. Let each creature mate with its own kind and let cars receive new hearts after their own kin. Fords with Fords, Mopars with Mopars, AMC with AMC, Oldsmobile with Oldsmobile, and Chevys with Chevy.
I rarely ever comment on a video, or subscribe to a channel. I just subscribed to your channel. Please don't ever stop making this sort of video. Your channel is my favorite. Thank you very much. And have a merry Christmas.
I didn’t want the 2 hour movie to end. Wonderful way to spend a cold evening. The number of 2 hour TH-cam videos that I watch on OTHER channels is close to zero. Simon, you’re my favorite channel. Others aren’t close. Many thanks!
Love how you use the same basic tools, especially the vice grips. I always wanted a grand torino, especially after watching Starsky and Hutch in high school.
Merry Christmas Simon, it's good to see that your channel has grown to 141k subs and counting. Continued blessings to you and yours in the coming New Year. 🙏🏼
A great Christmas gift for fans of video editing mechanics and every man in the world who dreams of doing the same thing of repairing old equipment. Merry Christmas to you and your family. May God always bless you.
Glad the Mercury Marque 460 engine found a new home! Amazing all the pre computerized emissions control systems on that engine. They were complicated and power robbing features we all disliked. Great job!
Always puts a big grin on my face when I see Simon posted a new vid. TWO HOURS this time, it sure must be Christmas! You're typing the subs as I'm watching, so I'll just watch it twice. Right now with no subtitles, and tomorrow again with the subs. 😁Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and yours, Simon!
26:20 after working on one of those "brake cylinders" or "burrinho de freio" as we call it here in Brazil, I understand 100% why you just bought a new one instead of working on the original, these things are awesome when properly working, but whenever you have to work on it instead, most of the time its granted to be a headache 😂 Edit: we are usually instructed to bleed it on the wheels while doing maintenance, the way you did it directly on the cylinder head was definetively a big brain move I gotta be honest
Fueron 2 horas que se me hicieron cortas por lo entretenido del video. Excelente trabajo tanto de mecánica como de filmación y edición. Los autos americanos de los 60 y 70's anteriores a la "malaise era" son mi preferidos Saludos desde Uruguay Merry Christmas ☺
weight will be an issue on the old front springs.. 302 weighs around about 460 lbs. an all iron accessory 460 will be north of 700 lbs...still torque will be way higher, and it'll romp nicely with the 4 barrel set up/EGR delete.
Please, could you make a video of a quiet drive on the road including idling at traffic lights to use as an asmr to fall asleep with the magnificent sound of this V8? A half hour would be the best. Many thanks in advance if you can do it and congratulations for the great job. Perfect video without useless music. A merry Christmas and a kiss to the cute cat.

I'm a man of simple yet good taste. I see a SimonFordman video, I simply click play
Man these videos are so good to just put on and chill with. Love seeing these old cars get love like this.
Also merry (early) Christmas to all

Merry Christmas 🎄
Young man, you have brought me hours of entertainment this year. Merry Christmas to you and your family
This guy is the best car youtuber on here. Couldn't spend a cold winter day any better.

Thank you for this gift :) , Merry Christmas
I think he might be Jewish though.
@@HAL-dm1eh Hmm I have no idea, it doesn't matter either way it's a nice day to spend with family and friends even if you're not a Christian
Congrats on 140k subs. I started watching at 4k. You deserve it.

I don't care if people crossbreed drivetrains but if I hear the phrase LS swap one more time I might get rid of my hearing
you boys dont pay atention , Simons 65 has a LS and stick in it.
@@robertquartier9379and he said hes taking it out eventually and putting a ferd engine in it thats what was in it when he got it.

Thank you Simón!
A new Fordman video...Christmas came a little early. Thanks brother.
Thanks for the video! This is better than a Hollywood movie.

Simon you are the best. You make the best videos on TH-cam. 😊

Nice, 2 hours of Himself wrenching on cars. Happy holidays Fordman!
The second I saw the title, I knew EXACTLY what engine and where it was from ❤ The old Mercury lives on
I thought he would put in his truck.. but either way 300 six is great engine
Ive been waiting so long for your content bro youre the best
This guy is from the old school, the truth is that it is one of my favorite channels, I hope he goes far 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Merry Christmas Simon, it's good to see that your channel has grown to 141k subs and counting.
Continued blessings to you and yours in the coming New Year. 🙏🏼
Missed you on here glad you are back
There is a lot of obvious thought and care going into this project and it makes me smile to see it all come together. Well done 👌
A great Christmas gift for fans of video editing mechanics and every man in the world who dreams of doing the same thing of repairing old equipment. Merry Christmas to you and your family. May God always bless you.
Keep on cranking these videos out and keep them classics away from the crusher 🤘🏼
Just finished rebuilding the 460 on my 74 Torino. Went with roller cam. And swapped the D3 heads with C8 heads. Great videos.
never no stupid ads for crap no rambling just great stuff thanks

Your making us old schoolers reminis the old days.cause this is exactly what i did every day in a yesterday.peace
Im in To bikes and from the UK I realy enjoy your videos . Your camera work i find therapeutic, and remids me i need to get stuff done. Good work man.
Its just awesome to think that, in a certain way, that Grand Marquis still lives
Simon's video skills are top notch and add to his mechanical skills.
Yes my first day of vacation and my favorite mechanic is in 😅😮
Ditto.
You’re already at 141k subs. That’s wild man, but well deserved!
From all over the globe too.
What a nice early Christmas gift! Merry Christmas

This has to be the fastest growing Automotive topic TH-cam channel out there.
You're either a mechanic by trade or a bloody mechanical genius. One thing's for sure you're one hell of a good filmmaker.
Your knowledge is WAY BEYOND your years. Awesome!
Men of Culture, Simon has dropped another gem for us ❤🎉
That thing is ready for the state fair. Great project Simon.
I own 3 vehicles myself and the newest one is 23 yrs old. Love the classics
One and only YT channel that makes me smile and happy once see there is upload.
PARABENS SAIMON E AMIGOS DO CANAL SEMPRE NOVAS AVENTURAS E MUITO CONHECIMENTO VALEU
the best ASMR car fix channel on YT
Binge-watched your whole channel man! Keep it up! You’re clearly doing things right 🔥 ❤️
Dude, you've got skill, i look forward to your videos.
Keep bringing em back, and making em better!
Love this guy's content so much!!! You rock Mr. Fordman!
Already waiting for a few days😂. Again a gem Simon❤. Merry Christmas, mrs and cats.🎉
Mr. Fordman uploads, we watch and get inspired to wrench on our stuff (my poor c10).
This type of the transformation is like Christmas for me. Thank you 👍

You are a GD maniac!!! Keep up the good work dude! I wish I was there with you.
What was the deal with the motor mounts? I thought Ranchero's came with 460"s sometimes?
Simon when I seen you pull that 460 out of the big Mercury ( tank ) lol I new you were going to put it in your Torino. Love it. .. awesome. SWEET!😊❤
These videos are such beautiful cinema
この方は絶対只者では無い！理想的な修復・本当の整備！
Haven't watched yet but dang glad to see a new video up, and feature film length at that!
I love how I can watch these videos and listen to my own music at the same time.
Really like the "Hi" on the oil filter, Merry Christmas.🌲
A man of few....
A man of No words.
The most awaited, anticipated and interesting video finally came. I have just started the video, let’s watch and see what’s happening today
Cool endlich mal wieder was neues 👍🏻👌😎
You’re a talented and very patient dude. Cheers!
E eu estava esperando o vídeo novo, Thanks a lot Simon, I love your vídeos, I watched all in 3 days, So cool Bro.

Top video Simon...we are in Brazil, we watch almost all your projects. Merry Christmas 🙏👍👍
Dude, what a mission
Thanks for bringing us along 🤘
Oh, and Merry Christmas 🎉
Kiitos Simon, hyvää joulua.
Bro Rewelded his broken Breaker bar. Legend.
You can't imagine the "suffering" of loving these old school American V8s and being born in Europe...😢😢
Everyone was waiting for you next video. Thank you Simon and Mery Christmas
Just made my night better hello from Michigan
The engine sounds nice and healthy and looks great too!
Finally a new video, greetings from Croatia.
oh yessss time to be glued to my computer for the next 2 hrs ;)
Brilliant, Loved every minuet of this vid. Cheers Simon.
Fueron 2 horas que se me hicieron cortas por lo entretenido del video. Excelente trabajo tanto de mecánica como de filmación y edición.

For a second there, when it said "7.3 liter", i thought you were putting a 7.3 idi in it 😂 then I realized you meant to put 7.5 liter
I vote idi!
@davidsonneman1121 it would DEFINITELY make the power he wants lol
Awesome content, awesome video skills too. As usual, You da man! Happy holidays
Man you need a hand tool sponsor. The fact you had to reweld your breaker bar is not fair for the quality of hand tool work you do.
very relaxing watching simon great video on sunday 😍
weight will be an issue on the old front springs..
302 weighs around about 460 lbs. an all iron accessory 460 will be north of 700 lbs...still torque will be way higher, and it'll romp nicely with the 4 barrel set up/EGR delete.
I can't wait to watch this, yes 😍 Merry Christmas, thank you.
Parabéns, ótimo vídeo .Estáva aguardando vc postar . sempre estou acompanhando .Deus abençoe ,feliz natal !

Another great video. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Video is born in my sight 😂
Merry Christmas !

Наконец-то я дождался привет из России🎉🎉🎉
I’ve been waiting for this. The latest video’s out, at last.
Sleeper! Going to be a lot more powerful! You do good work! I bet you get more than 60mph in 12 seconds now!:)
Congratulations ❤
GOOOD JOB
Merry Christmas & best wishes!!
Merry Christmas. I never trust factory speedometers, they are usually out by about 10 mph at 70mph.
I double checked with digital one to make sure it was close enough.
Merry Christmas. I enjoyed the video.

Admiro tu trabajo
Deseo pases una Navidad muy bonita en compañía de tus seres queridos
