With pistons still the major worry for the Buick Straight 8 engine rebuild, Davin rotates to the head as well as valves to attempt and continue to make development on the job. With the correct intake valves currently in hand, Davin is able to make fast work of the shutoff installation which leaves time for a little adventure in our 1950 Chevy half-ton pickup … a little drive to go get our various other eco-friendly truck, the 1946 Ford vehicle we developed back in 2015 at the Hershey Swap Meet. Why? Well, there's a T5 guidebook transmission from a Chevy S10 resting on our garage flooring that needs a residence! The jobs never finish!
Enjoy the Ford Flathead V-8 Redline Rebuild here:
See us build the truck from swap meet components at Hershey in 2015:

5:13 – Fenders flutterin’ ‘n the wind. There’s gotta be a rock song in there somewhere.
In the Uk we call them the wings….if he goes much faster they might just become flight wings!! 😀
“If you get stuck on one project, put it aside and start something else” Dangerous words Davin.
This is why my garage is completely full.
pffft maybe for a wannabe mechanic
Lol yeah I’ve got like three “projects” still waiting because of that thinking haha gotta love it.
I have 44 examples of that advice LOL!!! They’ll all be done one day. Scouts honor.
You guys have some of the best royalty free music on Youtube. Can’t wait to hear this engine come to life! S8’s are so underrated.
I was a little surprised the first time I heard one.
I was expecting a totally different sound , but to me it sounded pretty close to a typical average v8 ,and that was more of a surprise than a letdown.
Of course that’s gotta be 20+yrs ago I heard one at a car show
Caaaaaaaaaaaan’t waaaaaaaait!
NICE Davin! I just installed reground valves and reconditioned heads on my current subaru project last night. Love the content!
That buick straight 8 has to get on a dyno, so many improvents and work has to be tested to see the performance improvement. Love the vids!
Nice video. The Ford seemed a little smokey!!
Watching Davin work inspires me to work on my own 350 sbc
From what my dad taught me these engines were bad about Developing cracks and overheating anyway. Enjoy watching it anyway.
These guys should rebuild a ford Y block. That would be cool 🙂
Boy do I miss the Swap-to-Street challenges.
Just remember to upgrade the ‘slow’ when you upgrade the ‘go’.
You had a “something smells funny” look at the end.
I think it was more of a “something sounds funny” look!
Thanks Davin! Air quality on the West coast makes doing anything in unfiltered air unhealthy.
WOO HOO, looking forward to the “other green truck” modernized.
The finished Buick has to be my most anticipated video on YouTube.
Something about old crusty parts being refurbed and shined up gets a me a little excited.
I don’t remember seeing it, but did you hand lap these “New” non-stepped valves to the head???
I kind of like the “tall steps” of a 3 speed, it fits the character of the engine.
A fitting compromise would’ve been a 4-speed and a taller final gear instead.
In my opinion of course…..
6:15 Please dont tell me this… I have 7 projects as it is! lol
