Old Engine Restoration Start to Finish: Ford 300 Inline Six (ASMR)
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 03. 2021
- POWERNATION stumbled upon this rusty old Ford 300 Inline Six that started life as an industrial water pump. This rusted-out old engine showed up to the shop in need of some serious restoration if it wanted to perform. With the knowledge of the team and the tools to match, they were able to transform this seemingly unsalvageable engine into like-new condition.
This model engine was introduced to the public in 1965 and enjoyed 31 years of production. Known for its durability, ability to last 300,000 miles without issue, and substantial low-end torque output, it was trusted in UPS trucks all over the country, making this project all the more exciting for the team.
It's a classic restoration project you can't miss. Sit back and enjoy this ASMR version of our Ford 300 rebuild.

Anyone else spending more time watching this type of content instead of regular TV 😎
I am used to working on ship's engines. I have done that for forty plus years. It is an absolute pleasure to watch two professionals working, knowing exactly what they are doing and not having to explain every step. Absolutely perfect. I did my training and my degree in Germany so please accept my comments as the utmost compliment
I saw a video on huge engines. Well some of them looked to me to be almost as big as a building. I had no idea what they could be used for. One of the comments from a view was that such engines were used in ships. Then it more or less made sense.
A fellow german
Engine rebuilding, no annoying rock riffs or exaggerated gravely voice overs; so zen!👏☯️
You don't like monster truck rally announcer guy? Show wouldn't be the same without him
Best comment👌
I truly like this kind of video , where its more wrench turning and less talking
To mix it up.... yes... I agree.... As a change to the show going forward.... No, absolutely not.
Yeah less yep more grease hands,finally there doing some dirty work 👍😂
I agree. No need to drown out the sounds of a craftsman at work with annoying elevator music.
@@reviewaccount469 I disagree. Well - sort of! I do agree that if they did the entire show exactly like this, it would be very dry and lifeless. But I do think the current production leaves out a LOT of fun and interesting detail in the sounds.
What I'd like to see is this level of sound detail but with all the current commentary and graphics they do.
I agree
This has been the best format of this channel so far. No crazy music and loud talking.
I really enjoyed the no music and small conversation.
I hate all the extra added music to some peoples videos. If I want music, I can play it in the background myself. This was an awesome video by POWERNATION! : )
Usthad
This show has the best real life discussions compared to the other shows. I used to watch the other shows as well, but they have become so scripted and fake. Don't enjoy that at all. This is the last show I watch because of the hollywood scripting. This video was nice with none as well....
I really wanted the narrator going "WHERE GETTIN' READY TO TAKE THIS INLINE SIX 88 HORSEPOWER ENGINE TO THE NEEEEXT LEVEL!!!"
-said no one, ever
Word.
This was, hands down, the best video ever uploaded on this channel.
This video is perfect for those of us who know every step you're doing. We don't need it explained every single time, we just want to watch and see results.
Yup, exactly love this format of video . A parts list would make this perfect👍👌
@@johndowe7003 My Mom's 1982 Ford Granada is an inline 6, front/rear main seals worn/rotted out, the block might stand to be recast, might recast the exhaust manifold, intake, but also, would mechanical fuel injection work better, since the 1982 Granada has NO computer? According to the spec sheet, a 2.3 liter, 3.3 liter, and 3.8 liter would fit the Foxbody chassis well, what about a 302 V8? how tight would that work? Yet I'm in Texas and I don't know of any shops in Texas that might help me?
@@lawnmowermanTX im in texas as well, what part you in? you can swap a 302 off a mustang into it, but honestly i would just buy a newer i6 ford from a junkyard and take the efi stuff off and install a carb, way easier and cheaper. the 302 and i6 have the same bellhousing pattern so if you go that route it can work also. id suggest a 302 off a 99 explorer better built than a 302 off a foxbody, also the 302 came with a heavy crankshaft so dont get one off a bronco or truck cause it wont work in a car
@@johndowe7003 Well I’m only fishing around to find out how much it costs. Covid-19 and the Great Resignation overwhelmed mechanics and sadly they refuse to rebuild a worthless old worn I-6, in Central Texas. It’s all about hot rods and custom made super charge engines and performance deal.. I don’t have any desire to outrun police cars, helicopters and bullet trains.. lol just peppy and economic to do Warp 9.5 and not drain the 16 gallon tank… It’s my mom’s car and she passed away on July 2, 2014.
@@lawnmowermanTX less than 2000$ if you do the work yourself. honestly its not worth to rebuild a clapped out i6 better just to engine swap it with a newer i6. i figure you can buy a used engine for less than 500$ lotta junkyards in SA some will even pulll the motor out for ya
24:58 the raised eyebrows followed by the head nod in the back..... the universal sign of marked improvements, lol
Rather peaceful without all the talking and crazy ass rock riff music in the background lol
I couldn't agree more.
Pat, its time to loose the little pony tail.
those are written in the bible, man.
I thought my sound was broken!
@@zarkeh3013 That was my first thing to check too but no they got it right this time lol
Amen!: NO silly music!!.. 🥲
This engine build is definitely one of my favorites, top 5 for sure.
This is literally one of the best videos I've ever watched on CZcams.
Clean oil pan, good bearings - someone did oil changes.
Industrial stuff usually gets serviced , not forgotten about.
I still see the old fords all the time on generators.
For the most part the oil gets changed annually , doesn't matter if it's got 5 or 50 hours it's getting dumped.
Especially cause it's LP fuel.
If ya ran alot, call us because it's probably a good idea to change the oil around 150-200hrs of straight running.
Pretty rare for a standby to have to do that.
Besides the rag that is
Those engines were one of the best that ford ever made.
Really worthwhile content. And no f*cking guitars on the soundtrack. You guys clearly know what you're doing. More like this, please. Thank you.
I don't believe this video exists. It's literally impossible to make an engine video without guitars.
This is a CZcams video. Not a tv show made for CZcams. Glad to see you guys are learning.
Amazing video, love that you guys are trying something new and a little more "modern". Extended cuts, no tv style drama (not that you guys were ridiculous before) and tooling noise. Releasing video like this of previous episodes without ads/sponsors is a great Idea. Makes me feel like I'm working/hanging with people I know.
i wanted one forever, now i am up to 3 of them.
More wrenching, less talking... I like..
Please make more of this format!
Those old 6 cylinder ford's are tough. Ready for what's next. Thanks 😊!!
Definitely enjoyed the editing on this one, not typical for this channel hope you consider more like it.
Yes
Seriously a good video.
YAASSS
Yes please!
I've read the first 15 comments and they all say the same thing... I couldn't agree more. I still like the show but you guys should consider including this style video for past/future engine builds once you have the build completed. It was nice to watch uninterrupted.
Best power nation video ever and it wasn't even a V8...hint..hint 😁🤤
This engine is amazing. Silence is a show of respect for everything this engine has done to help build our country. 💪
What a workhorse of an engine. Not the crap they make today.
We can blame that on the EPA.
i cannot upvote this comment more-than-once. the whole world has gone crazy.
Im still waiting for the turbo build... it better not be finished
Or even a supercharger too :D
Os
Those 300 Fords have so much personality. Way more interesting than another generic small block whatever build.
Pat with that hot moan at 8:41
"Ahughhhh"
lmaoooo
I replayed it a couple times just to be sure that's what I heard. 😂
@@kylefogg4159 haha same bro
75# cast iron heads will coax those out of you
That was enjoyable. No BS commentation. No in depth explanations. Thank you PN!
Oh my GOD!! Guys the addition of the details of the SOUNDS are just fantastic! Want to hit 1M subscribers?? Do THIS and add the right commentary about what you are doing. I realized that we, your audience, are missing a good 30-35% of the show because we can't HEAR the details! The sound the old hose made as it was removed...the squeaks and rattles and such are actually SUPER important to us viewers. Give us MORE!!
From 88HP to 264HP, it almost made me cry...!!!
I love these segments on the faithful 4.9L I-6. ☺
ASMR version of this TV show. Nice job.
Can't wait for more videos of this format
Nice to have tools and a clean, warm, enclosed shop. I get by in a barn and harbor freight tools.
Please please post more of these.
There’s still countless 300 sixes running generators, pumps, steam cleaners, etc. It’s one of Ford’s best engines for sure.
This is a excellent video. Nice n quiet and the only thing making noise is the engine.
this ASMR style was very enjoyable to watch all the way through.
Ass to mouth what???
wtf is asmr?
Thanks for the vid! I had a 300 in my new 82 f150. Engine gave 238K trouble free miles. Truck was my daily driver as carpenter for 17 years. Truck was bashed to hell and rusted away but engine was still petty darn strong when I sold it. Incredible motor,- likely the best of all time-for what it was designed for.
I'm watching this having my coffee in the morning, this is like therapy, so relaxing and amazing to watch
The simplistic approach to this video made me subscribe. No BS just relaxing and watching professionals and learning a thing or 2 along the way
Ahhh... the soothing sounds of a jack stand falling over on a concrete floor, the screams of an enthusiastic engine builder and the ear tingling sounds of hammer banging on engine part's...😂😂. I gave up on the ASMR side of this video within the first ten minutes but it did have some good ASMR sounds. I enjoyed watching the 300 being built nevertheless...👍
The old industries were the essence of workmanship, very high quality and user satisfaction
Back in 1977 I think ! the ford f-100 . Standard with a straight six was the fastest stock vehicle. My neighbors had a brand new one and his son totalled it rolled it down a hill. They towed it home when I saw it tears down my eyes. The next day it was gone a guy bought it just like that cause of the engine he said. That's how hot those motors where ! Panamanian police used these trucks with six's for there highway patrol in the 70's n 80's hard to get away from them . Now it's all bikes. Nice job master mechanic great work. Greetings from the Rep. of Panamá.
Man I love watching Pat work, always learn something from that man.
Wow, the amount of technology that you put into each build is off the chart amazing. I could only drool at the equipment, the testing equipment and be amazed at the quality of this build. Thanks for sharing this video.
After coming to love and really appreciate the new episodes, this one felt like a cheaply done silent movie from the old days lol.
No narration, no music and no one selling anything , just two master mechanics rebuilding an engine, that is a beautiful thing, thank you
Those Ford 300 inline 6 engines are great and been around forever
Loved this type of video! Turned up the asmr sound..... Then a SUPER loud ad ruined it 🤣
This was a disturbingly calm video and I loved it.
Приятно смотреть на работу профессионалов!Респект из Красноярска Сибирь Россия,парни!
They should do more of these kinds of videos.
Those are some mighty impressive numbers after the rebuild. Wow! And now you've got a power monster that will probably run for another 500,000 miles. Well done guys!
STILL my favorite motor rebuild video. Wish I could like this again!
Amazing work and no booming workshop music. Fantastic.
That's right Pat let the Rookie do the grunt work!!!!
I love how you can hear the engine idling in this video. No offense guys but I want to hear the engine instead of talking. Having it idle at the end of the video was a great idea.
Didn't know engine building asmr was a thing.
Let's hope they do more of it too! This is better than porn! Lmao
@Wayne Flanigan 😁
I got the chills, the best.
Almost wish they wouldn’t say anything
You Guys should Check Out Gears and gasoline they have some engine building asmr
had one in a1980 F100 what a great engine. not much HP but the torque was amazing
Impressive! Something about working with metal and machined parts and reconditioning- Soul satisfying. Amazing gains. Sounds just as nice as a 426 Hemi.
Dang forgot y'all had this water pump engine, love the 300! Lol watching the video already and got the notification for it.
Damn, that is some watchmaker level of precision
I enjoyed this video. Showing the work, talking to explain thing, no loud music. Often times on various how to or automotive shows they edit loud music right over what you really want to hear. I want to hear the host, the engine, the shop sounds, the burnout, etc. I want to hear the dyno pull and not added music that is louder than the engine. Nice job on this edit.
From 88 Horsepower to 270. Well done guys, well done. Excellent "no chatter" vid for those who know what's going on, and why it's done. Consider doing more of this style. Thanks!
This was therapeutic to my soul
The only video I really enjoyed. Grabbed a beer and simply went through. No talking, no "duration of the lift on the exhaust" and most importantly, no inches are used (well, no millimeters as well)
This was terrific! Loved it. It was great the way these guys took to this engine and treated it with the respect it deserved. I, for one, hope they don't strap a blower on this. No need to. It's a wonderful and respectful treatment of this old machine. Coming to a very fast UPS truck near you!
Yeah, they went ahead and installed a Turbo and cranked it up to over 500 HP.
Excellent video, I knew exactly what you were doing and was so relieved that there was no patronising discussion, or crappy background music. I'm a lifelong precision engi eer and was pleasantly impressed with your attention to detail, of both protection, lubrication, and assembly gentleness. Thank you so much, it was a really pleasant half hour. 👍🖒 Had to sign in just to comment. 😎
This is a great format. No crazy music or marketing wankery. Just straight to the business. I appreciate this.
No talk all action!!! VERY GOOD
great video, no useless talking, no crappy music, just building and showing results, thanks for the vid
This is the best format: very little talking, no cringe/fake talking at all, no music, and no upselling. Love it.
Great choice of engine to rebuild. My brother had one in his Ford 4×4. Time and time again I found out why it was ALL the engine he needed in the bushes and mountains of B.C. He always made it back home. Great choice of engine to rebuild.
270hp from 88! incredible.
One of the best videos
One of the best shows yet
Everything about this is ART
Video is much smoother without all of the hoopla. Thank you very much
I loved this. More vidoes like this please.
Every time I see a Power Nation video about this Ford big six I envision John Belushi in a toga yelling “Turbo, turbo, turbo!”
I think this engine's internals looked so good because it was used as a constant running (steady) power source. It didn't see up and down demands of street use. Just the same, it's an amazing engine.
exactly.
My uncle drove Ford vans and pickups for the gas company as a meter reader and worked on furnaces and gas fired AC. Their vehicles had 300 sixes. He said most of them had 300-400 miles on them. Usually rebuilt, partially or full, but still ran like champs.
I love this engine, sand I love that is just wrench and go. Not a bunch of sounds or music, just simple perfection of sounds.
Typically ASMR videos not remotely my kind of thing...
But buddy...! Just watching an engine being put together, that's relaxing. POWERNATION really getting some good content recently. Hope you folks are having an awesome day!!!
Thanks,
Carputing
One of the best episodes.
*_There local autoparts store must love there account..._*
their . . . sorry
Great work!!
HP: 88 to 270 = 306% increase
TRQ: 217 to 338 = 55% increase
This video is ART!!
Nice!!! I work on these engines everyday at work! Awesome seeing this
The master-pupil dynamic between these two is spot-on. Each has an amazing amount of respect for the other, and both know that the respect is well-founded. The master respects the pupil's drive and willingness to learn his craft, and the pupil respects the master's years dedicated to honing his craft.
This was such a refreshing build to watch, and I'm subscribing for sure!!
Ford 300/6 and small block Chevy, two best practical engines.
Machining has to be right on the money, for new parts to fit "old" engine.TY Ford mechanics and machinists☆☆☆Merry Christmas☆
Way cool. This is one of my favorite engines, thanks.
I ijoyed it twice but didn't they show this vid a week ago. Maybe I dreamed it
Any who great engine building video on something not so common this in line 6 is a great platform for many applications keepemcoming
Edit: less talk and more work is great however this guy is a wealth of info.so anytime he talks well worth listening to and always welcome. I always learn something new when he talks. Been following for many years.
Wow,I believe this just may be the finest,rebuild and upgrade of a 300 6cyl,ever....👍🤘
Wow!!! Unbelievable, and amazing 👏
Thank you!👍my 1978 300 I-6 would love you to rebuild her! You guys are mechanical surgeons!
