The Ford Barn

I have been building this lil engine for a while to go into my 34 Ford. My Dad is a heck of a flathead guy and helped me do it right. Today was the day for the first run. It lit right off and sounded great!! Had great oil pressure and ran cool (has Skip's pumps on it!). Heck it even charges! Broke it in and that was that. Gotta sink the carbs but otherwise I think she is well on her way! Thanks a ton to my Dad Dave, he is a true craftsman!!!

It's a 59AB with a Merc crank, Windfield SU-1A cam, Edmunds heads and a Thickstun PM-7 and dual 97's.

Sorry for the grainy video, but the sound is there
