Ford 300 Inline Six Gets Eye-Popping Off-The-Shelf Power – Engine Power S7, E17

1. 600HP stroker engine builds are cool but I enjoyed seeing the gains on this 300 inline 6 part by part!

2. I inherited a 1994 F-150 Four wheel drive with an inline 6 and I get compliments all the time.

3. The modified caulk gun in no way works better than a big channel lock and a peice of scrap iron across the calipers

4. The longest lasting gas motor ford ever made.

5. I do a lot of business at United Airlines cargo at Denver airport. Next to the building that I go to there was about two dozen Ford 300s on pallets just sitting there. Clearly these have been removed from airport equipment. They’re gone now and I wonder every time I go there what happened to them.

6. 18:25 min, Proform all the way.

7. These motors should be reproduced.

8. The 300 I6 is probably the most reliable engine Ford ever made. IMO

9. Keeping the old brake pad on the caliper while using the C-Clamp sends both cylinders back equally at the same time

10. How does paint burn-off affect dyno results?

11. They forgot to mention that this setup gained a good deal of power just from not having the stock cooling fan attached. The stock non clutched fans can use as much as 13HP.

12. Outstanding

13. There away to see the parts list

14. A cam with .480" lift and 224 @ .050 duration would have cracked 200 hp.

15. 66 yr. old shadetree here. Took my 64 Falcon with the 65 – 200 inline oit myself ( super easy ) and took it down to a motor rebuilder with 40 years experience. Completely rebuilt head with 1.5 & 1.75 valves with 302 springs. Oil & fuel pump, new clutch assembly, cam bearings, 274/274 vintage Inlines cam, flat head pistons +.30 over. 7 main bearing set & connevting rods, double roller timing chain. DUI distributor with Live wites, Weber 1v/2v carb, clay smith lifters, stainless steel 6 into 2 header. ARP bolts throughput. Took .100 off of head for more compression.
    Put it all back together according to the Ford Inl8ne six Performance manual minus thr out of stock aluminum head of course. Put it all together and it runs great but still no real horsepower upgrade. Not sure why….its a three on the tree Falcon and i tjought it would be considerably stronger. I didn't want to cookie cut it with a 302. Maybe i was wrong.

16. Over kill on a 300 cu.

17. I've been watching this "channel" since it began when I was a teenager back in the 90's. Still think I'm that same teenager sometimes, until the next morning when I can't move lol. But, love watching you guys still. Thanks, for the many years of entertainment guys!

18. Predecessor to the ford barra straight 6.
    Its a monster

19. On a stock 300-6, can an Offenhauser Type-C be used with stock Carter YFA 1bbl???

20. Your brake cylinder tip, I get it, trying to make money from a product, but that was lame. Just use the old brake pad on the cylinder side to put the c-clamp on to compress the cylinder back into the caliper, no worrying about "cocking" the piston into the bore… You almost made it like one of those bad infomercials "hurt on your hands or wrists" just missed throwing in the "OUCH" lol… anyways, enjoying this video.

21. I would like to see the EFI intake with a carburetor on the dyno top please. That EFI intake has great looking long runners. Ought to make great midrange,.

22. The first minute explanation is unnecessary. If they don’t like building up a 300, they can turn the channel or find a different video. I do t whine and complain about all the bow tie loving material you show. The bow tie lovers can show me the same gratitude.

23. The 300 is similar to a Honey Badger, it just doesn't care.

24. Should have put the header on as the last modification, not the first imho. It might not even be worth bothering with.

25. Torque monsters. Miss my old f150 with the 300. Engine would still be running the New England rust got to it. After 26 years of hard hard work.

26. 5:33 cmon sewing machine 😂😂😂

27. The first new vehicle I ever bought was a 1996 F150 XLT 4.9L automatic. I drove it everyday for 12 years before trading it for a new 2008 F150 XLT 4×4 5.4L. I pulled a 24' Crestliner with a 125HP outboard for many years and you barely knew the boat was behind the 96 F150. When I traded it in for the '08 it had 285k miles on it and still ran great only ever replacing an A/C compressor the entire time I owned it. The '08 F150 5.4L was horrible. It struggled pulling the boat, one engine problem after the other and I missed that old '96 so much. I traded the '08 off just after 54k miles 4 years after I bought it when the second set of cam phasers went bad on it and pretty much ruined Ford for me for life after that truck.

28. Only thing is have liked to see different would be to go with the more commonly used (and more popular) EFI because manifold. Just because it's nearly identical if not better in performance to any header available

29. Do you think it’s a good idea to do this to a 240 inline 6 ? Thanks

30. You use the old brake pad when you use the C clamp and you don’t use your hand to turn the thing use a wrench

31. yes good job my little nasty six is sick 🙂 once it starts buzzing look out >>> comp 268 holly 600 long tube headers roads lifters lots of money for the bang i got. I will spin mine up to 5k has not come apart yet lol

32. The initial dyno pulls weren't spun high enough to get a accurate reading. I routinely spin my carbureted stock 300 inline 6 to 4300 – 4500 rpm. It pulls all the way up only running out of steam due to induction and exhaust limitations.

33. Not surprised. Bore and. Stroke ans 300ci.
    4 littre jeep engine pushes almost 1000 hp built. Right and boosted.

34. You haven't mentioned the Clifford performance parts that are available either! Mine puts over 300hp on a slow day with roller rockers. I'm fabricating a twin carb manifold right now! 😁

35. My '96 made 150hp stock. She's making over 300hp now! I love my 300! ❤️

36. Ford 300 Chevy 283 Harley Evo

37. I had one of these motors in my first truck paired with a 5 speed and I promise you these motors are genuinely BULLETPROOF

38. Has anyone thought of setting it up with fuel injection to see the improvement of power and horsepower?

39. Can anyone say if youd get better numbers with an efi or not

40. When you changed the carburetor out for that 4 barrel was the factory fuel pump strong enough to feed it or did you guys have to put in an electric fuel pump?

41. Woah that hp jump was insane ! Now we know why the 300 last forever cause its barely even opened up in stock form it has no stress! Lol

42. Rock Auto has gone down the tubes since this video was made. I'd cut that part out

43. I have 1977 f150 engine 4.9 300l…I need reviled it…all

44. I could've sworn this was a video regarding the Ford 300, straight six, how did brake caliper tools and welders take over the video? Somehow the "shotgun effect" has crept in and taken over.

45. Here is a real tip, A break pad spreader $60.00, or using the old pad and the C clamp. Free

46. Once the oval pushed up on the prayer mat which made a tiny pyramid with a cover over it which was the cgi anything below it is real 😂
    Regards

    From a crash survivor 😴

47. Australians turned it into the Barra engine

48. And this probably had a straight up timing set in it as it rolled off the line. Unlike the truck motor that was 5 degrees Biden out of the box.
