  • This time at the Quick Speed Shop I've got my 1937 Ford dialed in with the new 59 AB flathead after some ignition and battery issues. It's time to take a loop around the block and listen to the straight pipes in a drive-by. Check it out!
    Please like, share, and subscribe. I put out new videos every Wednesday and Sunday.

    This makes me smile from ear to ear. I have a 37 Tudor humpback that was me and my dad’s project and I’m now going to get my son in the garage to finally get it on the road

    Ive been fortunate to have had a couple big 80s American luxury cars a couple years ago, but one of these 1937 fords will always be my goal to obtain someday! Nothing beats the sound and styling of those things man

    Congratulations young man for restoring and preserving in its original form that beautiful 1937 Ford. I remember my pregnant mother driving an identical 1937 Ford Flathead V8 engine. I love Ford V8s and even today I enjoy the sound of my free exhaust from my 96 Explorer 302 V8 engine.
    I look forward to your next videos

    Looks great, and love the sound of the flathead V8, but I suspect that you'll be putting some kind of mufflers on it if you drive it much!

    Take off the exhaust tips. Doesn't look good at all. Put some Cherry Bombs on. It will sound a lot better. As is would be ok in the wilds of Montana or streaking along Rte.2 in N.Dekota. I keep hearing a valve tap noise. It may be the exhaust note. Car is really cool though. Flatheads are awesome engines. Best wishes for a great car.

    So I couldn't find where you updated us as to if the reverse eye rear spring mod was a success with the longer shackels. Do you need a panhard to tighten up the rear? And how much did the rear actually drop??

    • @QuickSpeedShop

      Didn't need a panhard. Seems to handle okay, but haven't driven it more than a mile do to engine issues.

    Sounds like she's going to need that tune up soon or your going to be fouling plugs every time you fire it up. once you get it hitting on all 8 you're going to feel the difference and it should sound a bit better.

    • @QuickSpeedShop
      @QuickSpeedShop  Před 2 lety

      It's running with a really old condenser right now because the brand new one failed after about 10 minutes. Rest of fuel and ignition system is new or rebuilt.

  • @AtomicReverend
    @AtomicReverend Před 2 lety

    Camera mics never do justice to an exhaust note, I know from buddies that have had stock flat heads with straight exhaust that they sound really good in person, the camera mic makes it sound obnoxiously loud like it has no pipe what so ever.
    Now you got to put in a "3/4" race cam (aggressive but streetable cam) to make that pipe sing.

    • @QuickSpeedShop
      @QuickSpeedShop  Před 2 lety

      I hear you on the camera mic problem. I think the engine might have a cam in it as it idles lumpier that other stock flatheads I heard run. It has adjustable lifters in it so might have some sort of cam too.

      I drive every day, why? Oh, you mean you don't like how I drove this car in this video? FYI, I had just swapped a 59AB into it, had literally just got it running, this was pretty much the first drive and the first time the car had been around the block in several years. It also needs tuning and shaking down, but that can't be it. It just must be that I suck at driving, yeah that's it.
