How bout you guys put that 300 I-6 in a 77 F-100 and give that away?
Could you do the same upgrades to a industrial 300 ford in a brush chipper? It would be nice to have more power !
What are some cheap easy power upgrades for more towing power in a 302 V8 in a late 80's Ford Econoline Van
Try a 426 hemi and get it to 650 hp with a budget.
how about u guys use that motor and try using a EFI on it to gain HP and maybe a super charger or a turbo
I like how they say “budget” and proceed to show $5000+ in new parts.
Considering engine builds can easily exceed 10-15 grand, I would argue it’s pretty budget oriented. There are no custom parts, and for as much as the engine made, 5 grand isn’t bad.
5k ain’t bad tbh
Not to mention you could build a thirty over 302 that'd make even tq or more and 80 more hp for 2800 bucks. That's budget but some people like to try reinventing the wheel, 2 V-8s for the price of 1 I-6 sounds like a bargain to me. Hell, you can buy a dyno'd 340 horse 306 from Blueprint w/ a warranty for under 5K.
Those piston rings is what made it budget.😂
Agree with you, tricks of the trade, you can save a ton of money I know people pay more for an engine, but it’s all in who you know that’s forsure, I still agree with you no matter what, it’s surely not budget when it’s literally a quarter of some people’s annual income, on a budget ass my ass
A nice straight 6, no crazyness, no computers - just a good solid engine doing solid work!
That was really fun! Thanks a bunch!
It's nice to see such an iconic engine like the 300 straight 6 get some love. Ford made those for ages. They weren't the most powerful, but their simplicity made them indestructable.
I owned a lot of these and and built a few of back in the day. It was fun watching them be so precise. I used to set point gap with a dime and time it by ear - don't think I ever used a torque wrench! :) They would still just run and run! A great engine!
When i paint my engines black i always leave the freeze plugs till after paint so the brass will pop with the black and give it that extra bling factor. Looks good
its really cool until you get the valve covers on,the intake on,the carb,linkage,air cleaner,the exhaust manifolds on,the fuel lines on,the alternator,water pump,oil pump,power steering pump and all the bracketry .\. then you see nothing anyway.....ask me how i know this intimately
😪🤧
Is it damn near impossible to spot oil leaks from failed gaskets with a black block?
@@hairyparatestes1183 you’ll see the shiny fluid running down the block..
@@hairyparatestes1183
Some oils are florescent under black light - you can buy cheap B-L light torches from most hardware sores, then just need it to be dark.
Can also work for coolants.
Failing that dust the suspect areas with talcum powder, it'll stick to the oil and blow away from clean paint.
Good to see a straight 6 video but this ain’t the one that pat was working on. Hoping to see the turbocharged straight 6 video soon!!!
This one is an old video from the show about 7 years ago... they got another inline 300 from an agricultural pump which should have a forged crank and they teased about building for force induction... on the second episode they worked on it they said parts are taking a while to come in so hopefully this new season we will be able to see it with a turbo... they also did a chevy 292 early in the last season that they did turbo charge and got some massive numbers
@@bigboreracing356 And?
The new 300 that was painted white is from a sewer Jetter trailer.
@@87FoRunner 🤷🏽♂️ whatever it was... it just looked like it ran a pump to me
Here in Norway we had an insane slant 6 turbo giving everything V8 in it's class either a damn good run for their money, if it didn't beat them outright, and that was 30 years ago!
Looks like they milled the head with an angle grinder lmao
They said that the welding process hardened that section of the block.
Should they have soften it back with a blow torch or by some other method?
Savagenoob: Look's like Stevie Wonder did it ...with his feet!
I really like the short to the point explanations for everything you guys are doing in the machine shop. This ford 300 is a true work horse. It has to be right there or ahead of the 302 in history. New subscriber and will be binge watching you guys.
Nice 300 Big 6 refresh with a little extra muscle! Now, I am eagerly anticipating a serious Turbocharged effort with port & polish, bigger cam, twin carb manifold (or single port) from Clifford/Summit & Fitech central EFI unit(s) & Boooost! Out perform the turbo's 292. Thanks for the love on Ford's Big 6! I love the Power nation show!
Glad to see more inline 6 content! Keep it coming.
Excellent video, thanks! This is exactly the build I was waiting for :) I'll definitely be rewatching this one a few times.
I like this new guy- he is more natural talking to the camera and a nice guy.
Hahaha I would just talk to the "camera guy" like I was talking to just him about it hahahaha
He’s absolutely annoying.
Yeah he was gone fast
agreed
this is an old episode for the new guys , and I believe EFI was not available back then. Got you to look.
I must have blinked when the EFI was tested.
EFI. Eye fooling injection you blinked it’s gone Dunno
Click Bait :o
Ya for real. Wtf?
I blame the annoying new guy. 😂
@@TsunauticusIV That strategy never fails, lol.
Makes me miss my first truck. It was simple and didn’t cost a small fortune. Hey Ford bring back the bread and butter lol
Sadly, I think the days of a no-frills truck that will work, and thats it, are done. The prices of everything, much less new vehicles, has gotten insane. My old '94 F-150 with the 300 is paid for, and will be rebuilt when needed.
My first truck was 1992 f-150 6 inline 5 speed fresh burgundy paint job and three spoke aluminum wheels with 50 series cooper cobra tires
Agreed, back to when it was simple. Electronic equipment takes away from the mechanical devices diagnosis. AIR,FUEL,SPARK, and the road was more reliable and maintainable then this modern day headache of transportation.
Right on Tony!!!! This straight 6 was what I had in my '84 F-150..... Tons of room under the hood for ANY repairs.... not like today where it takes double jointed arms and 2 hours to change the battery or replace a headlight bulb. Last repair I did was change out the full pump that ran off the cam ( as you probably already know) in a Canadian Tire parking lot in the Annapolis Valley in NS. Good times👍
Ford, Chev, Dodge will never do that. they want these trucks to die just before you make your last payment.
Then you have to go buy a new truck and start again. there is a reason why the Square body era trucks are getting hard to find and if you find them the owner will NOT part with it.
Great episode. I'm a huge fan of straight 6s. Us aussies grew up with them. Nice job.
I love my 93 F-150 4x2, 4.9 L6 (300 cu. in.), with an M5OD 5 speed manual. It's a truck that's fun to drive while rowing the gears. A nostalgic blast from the past.
Finally!!! Been missing the 4.9!!!
I run one of these in my 1976 Ford f-100. Love it!!!!!!
What I like about many Ford engines, is that they typically use the crank front lob for the fuel pump diaphragm mechanism. That was a brilliant idea, because it is so easy to get to that way!
I would like to see a 318 V8 (Dodge, Plymouth, etc...) build. I think they are a underrated and underappreciated engine. They were a real workhorse!
One of my favoríte engines! Way underated & wrongly underappreciated..
I agree!!
@@richardsargent113 Had one in a plymouth valient I think it was a 65
The cylinder head “top end” was sourced from an efi engine and fitted with the offy intake and holley carb. I think they had a tad higher compression and flowed a bit better than the smog era head.
That's not an EFI head, and the efi heads flowed less than the carb heads
Had a 300 / 6 .that was almost indestructible. Same as the old slant 6's.
In high school I had a 240, that failed the rod bearings. Glad to hear that most of them are strong. Sad that I got a lemon. Maybe someday I'll build one.
Had a friend who had a straight 6 in his Ford F-150 work truck in HS and I've owned or known many a Slant Six!
@@bigboreracing356 comparing apples to oranges with those engines.
In line 6 isn't about power...its an engine designed for reliability over long term.
Hence why most industrial and commercial power generators, semis, freight ships...etc... All run a straight block.
Less vibration and stress on an in inline over a v block
@Donald Lewis they stopped makeing them because desiel engines gained popularity
@Donald Lewis
Well....and cars don't have 10 foot long hood lines any more..
Oh how I wish I could still do stuff like that.
I built a 2L Ford Pinto engine years ago, it was a lot of fun and the end results were awesome, it produced around 250hp and loved to run!!
Hopefully that weld holds. Tommy - "Well that'll hold it till it breaks that's for sure!" 😂😂 I'm using that line 🤣
Loving this. I had a straight six in a 91 F-150, that thing was a bullet proof torque monster.
The base 3.3 v6 puts out more torque
@@jasonlarsen3515 those 3.3 are crap. Unreliable and weak mains and weak engines. The 300 is a workhouse made to last
@@eddiespagetti8395 the 3.3 still puts out more torque.
@@jasonlarsen3515it don't matter , the 300 6 has proven to be most reliable engine 3.3 lame weak.

Just LOVE the awsome sound of classic Ford 300 I6 motor!!🤩. Great job & seamless vídeo!!🤗
Man this was cool to see. I hear stories from older guys about building 300’s. Awesome to see them on a dyno.
Now...to build the 300 in my bullnose Bronco.
I have not seen one on the dyno. I've seen enough high horsepower / high RPM engines on the dyno. The 300 will get you there and back all day long everyday - smooth reliable power........
Are you guys planning on doing a ford 200 ci inline six??? That would be a nice challenge. And I would like to see some dyno figures on the baseline, and with mods!!
Keep up the excellent series!!
You guys should turbo charge it😎I’ve been wanting to see a turbo on these for a long time, might put a turbo on mine, who know
Or a Procharger!
Come to Australia. Ford Australia offered factory turbo straight sixes. “Barra” is the local name for this motor and they can either have factory or aftermarket turbo. Search CZcams for Barra. You’ll love it!
With each episode I am enjoying this series more and more. Keep up the fantastic job all you guys are doing. because in my opinion this is the Best Show on web. Thanks to All of You ! And on subject of straight 6's, how about a 4.2 GM, like the one in the 2006 Trailblazer my son hurt? I am putting a LKQ pulled replacement in, but I am going to rebuild the hurt (bearing) 4.2 with EBay parts. Kinda Jaguarish with the ohc's.
Thanks! I'm thinking of a 300 for my next rat rod, and this video will certainly help!
That accident down the stairs actually made for some great content on the repair! 👍
Really cool, I'm not much into Ford but I always liked the way the 300 ran in half ton pickups
It runs pretty amazingly in 3/4 tons, too! Can't say about the 1 tons with 'em as I've just got experience with my F250, but.... Slow and strong is the name of the game.
I've known them to twist the axle splines in a F-350 welding rig
@@bigboreracing356
The 9 inch rear was a good rear end
My brother has an Turbo In-line 6 Ford (Australia) Barra motor than we worked ourselves (mostly) in his Ford Falcon, and were able to get over 1300ph out of. And a friend of a friend got over 2000hp out of a R43 in his Nissan Patrol (as seen on the Fullboost channel). Much love to my US cousins from Australia.
Try the Clifford open plenum intake vs. the Offy dual-port. Then using the Clifford, install a plenum divider under the Holley 390 cfm carb. Seperate the back half of the intake from the front half, using a 1/4" aluminum plate. The firing order of the 300 makes a pulse wave develop under the carb unless the plenum is divided front from rear. This makes a 'wafting' current right under the throttle butterflys. They say you can generate a little more torque if the air stream doesn't waft back and forth. Makes the engine idle and maybe run smoother as well. The Clifford intake allows a divider to be installed, because the carb base plate is removeable.
I'm using 500 cfm 2 barrel Holley on the open plenum. I have a 2 hole heat insulating spacer under carb and then the adaptor plate. This puts carb up away from manifold quite a bit.
Hopefully this negates the waft some.
@@deadcarnahans1932 You ought to get a scrap of 1/4" aluminum plate and JB Weld it to the 2 barrel adaptor. The carb has to sit with the barrels parallel to engine block. The plate doesn't have to seal on the sides or bottom of the plenum, a small gap is okay. An old school dude told me about this in the 1990s. He said he could feel the difference coming off idle. I have the pieces to do it, but never got around to it.
I think I'll do it but don't have the time now. Truck is running great now as is. Will update you with results if it gets done.
Thanks.
Offenhauser was the real front runner in straight six intakes. Classic manifolds!
Definitely need to Turbo this 300! If I can ever find the time and money I plan on doing it to my 300.
Please do. You will love it
@The Gundam fighter from Neo Texas I actually almost think it might be easier to do it with a carburetor setup. I have EFI and 2 Turbo it I will have to do an megasquirt piggyback system.

Best way to weld cast iron is to use a nickel rod with the flux removed and tig weld it.
Preheat and insulate and let cool by itself is usually recommended.
You can weld cast iron and after cool it with a blowtorch, increasing the distance of the weld over a couple of minutes.
Those engines sound SO good!
I love the professionalism of these guys and the clean orderly work shop.

Much respect from sunny Puerto Rico. Big Fan!!
awesome how this is one of the first episodes, gotta give respect to them sixes!
"That'll hold it till it breaks" dang straight Tommy! Bit harder on a part that big but preheat + putting it into a warm oven to let it cool slowly, helps too.
Right? I was cringing as they started welding on cast iron with no pre or post heat happening. At least they used the correct filler.
mmarchmonte88 Yes and l also noticed as he was dressing up the weld a porosity hole , would not pass a weld inspection x-ray
What he say?,... This would not happened wit a chevy engine, but then he tests his welder current on a decommissioned GM scrapped piece?...By the way, CRAPPIEST stick cast iron welding job! ... no pre-heat, no clue, and not enough time under the belt!, I would'nt encourage leaning how to weld from this video, ....Regards.
When l was learning to weld l asked my weld instructor “How to weld cast iron “. He said to heat it to where you can barley hang onto it & then immediately peen it , with my chipping hammer , NOT a 16oz ball peen , but no matter how hard l tried it just kept breaking , & l could hear it pop! This went on until until it got real hot ! In additional schooling l found out , the preheat temp should be about 600* F ,chip of the slag & post heat , drawing the temp down slowly . Subsequently l been able to weld cast . I don’t know how they managed for it even to stay together .
I've got a old 77 f-100 with the 300 in it and that one would look nice in my old truck.
Thank you for installing the carb correctly. The other six this channel built installed it the wrong direction.
I really enjoy the inline engine stuff you guys have been doing the past couple years.. Those engine power plants need love too. When it comes to building the V-8's, there is a million and plus one more videos out there. So, seeing your videos of the weird stuff, that most folks (including myself) takes for granted, is allot of fun.. I don't know if your algo numbers prove otherwise, but these motors of the inline series my all makes and many models, are soon to start showing their desire for folks to want to rebuild them, as you know, a bazillion of them were manufactured.. Kinda like the 4.0 ltr Jeep I-6 series you guys did, that was some fun stuff. .. I wanted to install one of these Jeep plants in a race car geared to the hilt.. Like maybe a MG Midget.. LOL... tell me that wouldn't be a riot to road course.. fully doped up suspension, chopped DANA 35/44 or a chopped Ford 8.8 LSD... 5 speed manual. Heck, while I'm at it, super charge it... that would be a hoot..
You guys dont have the footage off the stairs incid3nt ? Must be gold to see
When they put the main caps on i cringed when they used a steel faced hammer to tap em on lmao
i was screaming at my phone, noooo when i saw that.
Experience stops a good builder from over tapping.
I also cringed when they didn’t use a ring spreader to put the rings on the pistons
@@MedicatedOMO good builders dont use hammers.
@@bigboreracing356 go back and look at it he smacks it pretty good. i start them by hand then draw them down evenly with bolts. if you set them down and hit them with a hammer you risk the chance of rolling the edge of the block or cap. if you insist on using a hammer at least make it a dead blow or a mallet. and tap on the bolt seat NOT the center of the cap. common sense speaks volumes.
Really Appreciate your Time and Videos
Thanx for sharing your experience 👍and knowledge 👍

Hey! They got the carby faced the right way this time, not like they did on the Slant Six build.
That 300ft/lb should give more then enough push for a stripped down 2wd F100
@@bigboreracing356 Depends on vehicle mass. 300lb/ft (around 390Nm for us Metrics) in a chassis massing over 2000kilos, is better performing then most stock midrange minivans and SUV's.
390nm in a 1000 to 1200 kilo stripped down Rat Rod or Pickup, is a rocketship on the street, and with all that low end torque, could handle a taller diff and wide ratio gearbox, using the gears to get off the line, and the diff for highway cruise economy.

Last time I repaired a broken cast iron part I used a nickel bronze rod, proper flux and an oxy acytelene torch. Preheat the area until the flux glows and brazed away.
nickle is stronger than brass
@@scottgoforth7227 True but that part in not highly stressed so a bronze weld will work.
my trans is bolted up to that part and mounted off the tail shaft to the chassis, and what about lateral twist when in a heavy pull?. I've welded up engine blocks with brass when have lean missfire aka "detonation" more of a bush fix at the racetrack butt at 300 horses i dont think brass would hold up to the weight of the engine and with stand the lateral twist to many times not to mention the viberation that occurs.

They were used on 250's and 3.9/4.0 (pre-Barra) here in Oz, and there were penty of workshops that could reprogram them.
The Falcon XE with EEC5 on the 250 crossflow with 5-speed, is pretty much a Mad Max hoon car back in the '80's.
Watched this earlier, it said its a Holley 390cfm
@@mostlycensored7668,I know about those. I worked for almost 20 years in Ford dealership parts rooms. I just thought they were going to show the results with a modern day EFI set up used on that 4bbl intake. You know the one that they say is "affordable" yet cost a couple of grand!
I have a stock F150 1993 300 engine. I didn't know anything about it when I bought it. I got lucky. Engine still runs beautifully. I drive the truck back and forth to Sturgis SD each year from North Jersey. Runs like a Swiss watch. Love my 300!
My papa had a 86 f150 4x4 with the big 6 growing up, learned how to drive stick with that thing, so much torque, you could just let off the clutch in 2nd at idle and she would crawl
WHERE is the EFI clip ?? What time stamp ?? Can't find it, this is the previous episodes.
There... isnt one...
This title is totally misleading
Is there a parts list somewhere for this build?
I think y'all's new mechanic is a good addition to the show. Dropping the block, well, as Forest Gump would say, "stuff happens". It's a human thing. Anyway I learned something about welding cast iron and the block was repaired so it's not so bad after all. I like the idea of putting those 35's on my 96 4x4 F-150 but I'm wanting to put a turbo on it's 300. Really enjoyed the show and am super glad y'all are doing a wide variety of engine's. I'm not bias and like 4, 6, 8 gas and diesel engines. There will never be a better sound than a V8 though in my humble opinion. Thanks and keep up the good work.
If you ever heard an inline six revving to 7500 RPM you might change your favorite.
Great build guys, thank you
Upgrading to a dry sump system would be interesting to see.
🤣🤣🤣 why?
and only cost a couple grand to make 10 more horsepower,definitely worth it,not
The Ford 300 is the best engine ever produced hands down.
Been waiting for another video of this little engine
Pretty sweet engine! Very reliable power if you treat them right!
When are they going to finish the 300 from a couple months ago??
still waiting
Same here..waiting.
I just rebuilt a 1960 Ford 223 inline 6. It would be interesting to see power difference in a 223 vs a 300.
I was just thinking this, my dad has a 223 in our 58 ford that will need rebuilding and I'm would love to build it a bit get a bit more power out of it.
@@Papa7Bravo I rebuilt my grandfathers using mostly original parts in his 1960 F-100 on a budget of one grand.
@@jamesarmstrong1641 I've been toying the idea of building a v8 and maybe putting that into it. And I have a ford sierra saphire project which I'm thinking of doing a cosworth engine and turbo twin carbs. But then I've also just been looking at getting a 4.6 2v and running it on carbs, that way I can get experience of them engines as my daily crown vic has one so absolute worst case if I need to do any work on it, I'd at least have a clue.
@@Papa7Bravo see I’m only into like the big three (Ford, Chevy, Dodge(Ram)). I got a 1970 C-10 I’m looking at getting and getting me a crate 350 in it. But it would have to be after college. I’m only 18 and trying to rebuild my grandpas 60 F-100 is a lot simpler compared to anything newer.
I love to see I6 content, I've got a 240 in a 67 F-100. I've rebuilt it twice in twenty years for shits and giggles, but I would like to build a 300 with an electronic ignition and get away from dialing in the points twice a year.
thanks guys alot, i have one in my 67 f100 4x4 shorty and wanted to keep it close to stock. I have a couple of fe 352 original to the trucks. Is there any parts out thier to get more torque out of those v8s? thanks stay safe
When you going to get back to other 300 I been waiting 4 mouths to see if your turboing it or not
Yeah I was hoping for it
Wasn't there talk of a cam swap too?
Boutta start on a 300 rebuild out of a 90’ F150, getting some devious ideas from this one
Compression is your friend. A custom piston with a taller compression height to get the compression ratio up will pay dividends on the dyno and in the truck.
love it. big fan of the old ford I6's. daily drive a 93 f150 xlt 2x4 300I6 zf-5. Would drive these till the end. lol extremely versatile.
There’s usually nothing I don’t know in these videos, but I watch them anyway
They make an aluminum head for this motor that works with fuel injection... id love to see that with maybe a 100 shot or a single turbo 🔥👌🏽
@truth Lives Here What?! Who makes an aluminum head?
@@jacobhammond5432 vintage inlines out of Detroit makes a set, their orders have backed up to the point they won’t add to their orders list but I’ve heard their head is the best on the market, they even make a kit that comes with an intake manifold and everything for just over $2000
@@truthliveshere831 pretty sure that's for the 200/250 blocks not the 240/300.
@@WhoThisGuy515 you might be right it’s been a while since I’ve looked.

“Off the shelf” doesn’t necessarily equate to budget.
All our school busses had that engine back in the 70s. Good reliable engine.
Finally my favourite truck engine. Not bad for out of the box build.
This is an old episode. I hope they do the one that pat was working on.
Am I the only one who would like to see a 4.2 Atlas build?
Yes.
Dont know how far yous are willing to go but do or see if you can find the old skool the Cleveland head chop up that the old boys did back in the day, blow my mind when I first seen it.
That was awesome and great video
I've seen so many comments on other videos asking for this
6:19 nothing says a quality build like pitting in the cylinder wall.
All the trucks with 300 I6 in them why get one with pitted cylinders and a cracked block. The head looked like they ran a cinder block over it to surface it.
Meh! It's a 300! As long as the bore is straight (no taper), that minor pitting at the top of the cylinder will not affect the rings or compression.
Semper fi new guy! Love that dude!
...my kinda engine ...had two straight 6’s ...couple hundred thousand miles on both... two 300 cubes and a 200 in my first Ford van ... so ... really three straight 6’s... yeah ... I like the Ford truck ...thanks for sharing guys ...
