In this episode, Ethan explains why they decided on a Ford v8 engine swap, as well as taking us through some of the engine swap tips and tricks when planning a project car. Transmission choice must be thought about too, so he takes us through the flywheel, pressure plate and clutch disc replacement as well as keys us in on the difference between a flex plate and flywheel.
Updating us on other goings-on to their 1966 Ford truck restoration, Kristin walks us through the paint stripping and body work she’s been up to, using soda blasting for paint removal. Plus, we get to see the wheel and tire upgrade they’ve chosen for the pickup, using Nitto Terra Grappler G2s and getting a little bit of lift as a result.

Ending the episode, catch a brief history of car engines for a simple overview of popular combustion engines from the time of Carl Benz, the Ford Model T, the evolution of the V8 into OHV and OHC engines.

Thanks for watching! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I just bought my dream truck. No not the 2015 f150 in the driveway but an old rusty 66f100. Looking to freshen it up and enjoy it on the weekends.
Awesome! Enjoy the project!
Wow just seen this video love you two I had to subscribe & liked it... It's really nice to see women in the Auto industry 👍 you both are funny & keep the good videos
Very cool
I need ideas on what V-8 engine/manual combo to put in my 63. It’s all original but the engine in done, needs a full rebuild. But if I’m going to do that, might as well slap in some more HP
I love it! More of these two 👍🏻👊🏻
Ive wondered if that would take a c-4 , or if you’d have to go to a six?
I’ve bought multiple pedestals and either I got duped or something what pedestals are used for dropping in a 351 in…
I’ve been thinking of a Chevy 350 auto swap in my 66 f100 just because I like sbc
We won't mention what Ethan thinks of that, but keep in mind you'll be looking at fabricating motor mount bracketry and more. Good luck!
Driving Line AutoFab makes everything needed and ready to install along with whatever transmission you want.
I have a 66 f100 custom cab short bed with a 240 3 speed column shift and I really want to swap a Chevy 350 th350 in it. I had another ford f100 long bed that I pulled the 352 out and swapped it with a 390 out of a mustang but it was a huge gas hog and I’m really a sbc guy anyway.
I did something similar in a 64 f100. Loved it.
What transmission was you using
@@jesusavalos7303 I used a th350 automatic with a mild shift kit and stall converter.
You can buy a pilot bearing from a 80s 300 and plunk it right in one of those old motors
Don't forget Godzilla Ford's 7.3 OHV screamer!
Absolutely no way I would reuse a pressure plate with a new flywheel and clutch disc.
Oooooooo ghost friend 👻
Glad to see you haunting about.
Ethan Cline be my friend again 👻
HRA _ I never stopped.
Ethan Cline 😭🥳
There's a recall on Harbor Freight jack stands...
Looks like you're using them on your engine...
Thanks Joe! They've checked the recall numbers already and are 👍
@@DrivingLine
Pass that on, I think it's 500,000 affected units.
Great channel, just subscribed. I have a 79 F100 short bed, 51 F3, 47 Buick 2-door, 50 series Sedanette, and my college car, a 68 Buick Skylark...
@@joeschlotthauer840 Nice!
Hm
Could you guys restore my f100?
This why Trump is in office...4th grade education lol.
Why don't you go ahead and impress us and use a piece of bread to remove the pilot bushing
