The engine is a 361 FE, in 1958 there were only two engines in Edsel's, the based cars Ranger and Pacer had a 361 FE called an E 400 because it had 400 ft pounds torque.it was a 351 bored 0.050" and The Mercury based Edsel Citation Capri had 410 Ci engine called E475 torque rating. a small-bore Version of the Lincoln 430 engine.

The speedometer in the edsel is amazing it's a drum with a dial like an old dashboard from a space ship, edsels the lemons in the Cadillac and Chevy universe!

Nothing worse than watching a revival with someone who has no idea what hes doing.......peace out at 1/2 way through

It’s great to see your video on this. Dang…. Do I really look that old? ;) I think the old man would be happy to see what you’ve done so far. :)

You'll probably got a numbers matching engine under the hood and you're going to change it😮 I guess so. Nothing to lubricate the cylinders or the valves just start cranking on it after being shut off for years and years. Pumping fuel into it till it's hydrolocked revving the crap out of it before it's even gone through a heat cycle then putting May pops on it and the worst ones in the back so it can rip the rip up the rear fenders when they shred. I think this is enough of this video for me. I'm going to go back to the world of common sense

33:13 that’s the only way

I don't know what you paid for it.But that old car sounds good.Might be a three ninety or three fifty two. Or an m e l motor, mercury edsel lincoln.

She's a runner 👍🏻

I really hope this guy sells this car to someone who really know what they're doing to restore this beauty back to it's former glory.......

Very cool 🤙 I just picked up a handful of cars from an old collection. There is a few Edsel's on site couple coupes and wagons

She's a rough old girl but the FE sounds decent and the Fordomatic is still working. There's two wins!

Ur first diagnostic step wasn't good,first thing needs to b comes first its not realy teachable .

Hey I came across your CZcams!! Lol Maybe that’s the “point” of something!! You got a subscriber out of it anyways!! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Thank you I always enjoy a good Edsel rescue or anything related. Very cool car. Cool body design on the 58. The top of the model line is a very interestingly cool car. Rebuild the engine, drive train , interior and body. Repaint to it original color as well. Then you have a great classic daily driver....

For God's sake-use some starting fluid! I love how all of these CZcamsrs grind and grind on these poor starters. A dry engine like that takes a hell of a lot more gas than them tiny little dribbles that you are giving it. And hold the throttle open while trying to start it. I could of had that fricking thing running in 15 seconds. If it don't fire in a few revelutions don't keep grinding. Won't watch anymore of your videos.

I want that Dentside truck behind that Mustang! 0:51

The 9 inch came out in 57 but the bearings were not good the first year. In 58 ford got it right and now they are in every old hot rod. Sounds like the engine is better than you thought. The 4100 is my favorite carb ford put out and easy to rebuild. If you decide to not build it, look me up. Good luck.

I’m 68 years old is my dream car so I could decide to sell it let me know please

23:24

sell it to sweden...there they young people do nothing about it only get it streetlegal,fix a 900w stereo and run and drink beer and vodka in it and call it a beerpram.

First nine inch 57 Ford

New here and one thing I know about Edsel, they werent great, good or even reliable.

E400 is a 361 CID (400 was torque). It was a slightly over-bored 352, which later got bored up to 390. It’s a good engine!

Hi, nice find and i noticed the rear mount antenna holes so at some point your 58 Edsel had a two-way mobile radio and with the black Duco it has maybe it is a former police unit, some US states did have Edsel police cars, it is worth saving for sure, good luck with it, cheers from grant.

It's good to see another Edsel on YT. One day I might be encouraged enough to get my Edsel off the trailer and start to work on it.

FE were the best all around motor Ford made !

That's a sweet old runner. I enjoyed watching. I'm close to you over in Holly Lake

Grats on the fun ride also in early cranking sounded a bit advanced on the timing.

Enough people are doing this already. If you can't bring something different or better you just end up sucking and wasting bandwidth.

I have that same turbo on my 97 5 speed 12v. Runs hell of good. Luckly i live in utah 20mins from industrial injection and 2hrs from power driven diesel so its easy to get parts and the wait time is the same day haha. Nice build dude

Hey, you got a runner!! Nice project car. just don't go driving it around playgrounds and elementary schools. Cold War Motors was working on one for a long while and you might pick up some tips from them. Thanks for posting and good luck.

I enjoyed this ! Thanks for the ride

Well done, Gentlemen!!!!

Love this message.

This area looks exactly like highway 50 (Pee Dee highway) between Aynor and Conway, SC.

Greta is a beast!

It's a shame you can't find an overdrive unit & install it on the dually.

Just found your channel and subscribed. Saw you on Flatbroke garage’s channel.

I just passed you and Greta on interstate 40 in Mebane, North Carolina
