- Welcome back to the “Yours in old FoMoCo iron” CZcams channel! My name is Adrian Clements, and today in video #33 we’re going to learn about the eight 385 Series large V-8 engines that were part of the entire 26-engine lineup available for the 1970 FoMoCo passenger cars!
Video #30 covers the six inline-six-cylinders engines, video #31 covers the six small V-8s, and video #32 covers the six FE large V-8s.
If you want to see shiny cars and hear misinformation, please look elsewhere. But if you want to see FoMoCo documentation, hear facts, and actually LEARN, then please keep watching. Buckle your seatbelts, ‘cause here we go!
Yours in old FoMoCo iron,
Adrian

My sister and I always wanted a 1970 Mercury Cyclone, back in 1970, she was a car nut ,too. Her first car was a '68 dodge Charger 440>>> 4 speed! She was 19 and her Husband taught her how to drive that car. She was a bad Girl at the drags, loI., at our small town. I bought a 1970 Montego from California 11 years ago. I have bought parts but haven't. done anything to it but clean the fuel system, new fuel pump, tank, hoses etc. I have had so much go on for the past 10 years.... but I LOVE these Montego's. NO other car looked like them at the time. Just a beautiful car. I kinda bought it for me thinkin of my sister. She passed away 20 years ago of Pancreatic cancer. Hopefully I will get done and drive with her at my side. Miss you my sister Joy. You were something else. Love I know other have stories like this. I look them up, to read them. Peace to all. Love to all. Be Blessed.
My grandfather and grandmother only had Studebaker cars, until my grandfather passed away in the 1960's. When my grandmother needed a new car, my uncle convinced her to get a new 1968 Volvo. When she test drove it, she didn't take it on the highway. She later had nothing but problems with the car and it didn't have enough power for her. She decided to shop for a new car on her own. She went to a Ford dealer and told the salesman that she wanted something with some passing power. He ended up selling her a brand new 1970 Torino with a 429 CJ engine. It did not have Ram Air. She loved that car. Some late 1970 production 429 CJ engines got the four bolt mains that all of the 429 SCJ engines got. In 1971 all 429 CJ engines got four bolt mains.
@BrandonLeeBrown, your grandmother DEFINITELY had passing power with a 1970 Torino with a 429 Cobra Jet! Makes me think of the song, "Little old lady from Pasadena..."

Wonderful videos, thank you.
@KenanTurkiye, thank you very much for your kind words about videos #30-33! I'm so glad that you enjoyed watching them. Thanks for watching, Kenan.

The last of your wonderful 1970 engine videos is great as well! I've owned (and currently own) cars with the 385-series engines. All are very reliable, though they all have run a bit warm, even with their large radiators and with dual exhaust on two of them.
@DSP1968, excellent - I'm so happy that you enjoyed all four videos in this series! Thank you for watching, Dennis.

Strange, we had numbrous 429s back in the 1960s-70s, none ever ran hot, but maybe the blocks & radiators being near new, no crud or rust, that might have helped. Clutch fan or the old trendy colorful fiberglass fans, neither over heated, but always ran the factory shroud.
I see the Torino coded "F" model line eg D0FZ etc. Ive only seen numbers like D0DE D0OF D0OZ for Fairlane/Torino stuff, are you sure about that "F" and where did you see it?
Superb videos BTW this is the 2nd one I'm watching now.
what about the full size LTD...Which you could also get with a 400 Cleveland !
@romenamce7905, there was no 400 cid FoMoCo engine available for the 1970 model year - it didn't debut until the 1971 model year. Please email me your evidence of a 1970 400 cid engine at adrian.clements@me.com.

Adrian is right, the 400 or 400M didnt appear until 1971. It WAS sort of a Cleveland but the block was 1.50" or so taller so was never called a Cleveland, hence the M which stands for Modified or Midland depending on urban legend. The 351M came later, same block as the 400M just destroked. The 400-2v basically replaced the 390-2v from 1971 up in cars, and from 1977 up in trucks.
The amount of repetitions of info makes this series of videos makes watching them extremely tedious. One-hour-plus videos could be at least 20 minutes shorter, and more palatable to watch! (For example, the Q and R-Series could have been 2/3 shorter to tell the same info)
@gillesthibault429, I'm sorry my repetition made watching these videos tedious for you. Thankfully the vast majority of the people who have left comments on these four videos don't agree with you - there was one other person that commented as you did. Some of the repetition was done intentionally so that people who watched only a section of the video about the engine that interested them would get all the information about that engine. Merci quand-même, Gilles.

@@adrianclements8916 Please don't confuse people being too polite to mention it as confirmation of the format. Your videos generate thousands of views, but there are literally millions of YT users with whom this content resonates. Please work towards a less repetitive, and dare I say pedantic presentation for the good of your audience and to spread your content to as many people as possible. If these were skillfully crafted as a single presentation rather than a series of 4-8 minute videos ran end-to-end people wouldn't be so motivated to watch only a section of the presentation.
For instance, once you clarify you are pausing for 5 seconds so people can pause the video if they like each subsequent mention is fingernails-on-the-chalkboard. It comes off as assuming your viewers aren't capable of remembering why you are pausing from one section to the next.
If this structure must persist then publish them as separate videos, which although less onerous, would not fully optimize the potential of your effort, which I do appreciate.
And in fact there were two of us rude b@stards..
