This is the most awesome car I've ever seen in my life. I love it and I thought my dream car was the 1960 but this one has stole my heart my gosh man what a blessing just awesome, thanks I'm 60 year's old and know that I may never have one but sure would be nice to someday.

It's just awesome to see the long tube cast iron headers on an FE. They really are works of art.

FI is nice once it is set up, but nothing beats the old school roar of a 4 barrel opening up the secondaries. A good carb man could get you setup with the correct jetting & fuel pressure etc. Just my 2 cents. Hope the EFI works out for you. Damn sweet looking-sounding Ford!!

If you want efficient get an electric motor, if you want visceral get old school V8 with one or two four barrel carbs.

It was a time of beautiful cars! It's a pleasure to drive! It's nice to watch!

I love that car, you did a marvelous job with it. If you don't drive it a lot, I suggest you keep Sta-Bil in the tank. It helps keep gas fresh. I have a vehicle I seldom use. I keep mothballs in it and around it to keep out the mice. The gas in that tank is now three years old but it will start and run well. I intend to siphon that out and mix it with my two other cars I so can get fresh gas in it. but this is a good example of how Sta-Bil makes a difference.

Thank you very much!

Have always loved the style of the 61 Starliner. Love that interior. It's pretty close to how I would build one. Would love to find one some day, but life dictates otherwise. There was one in a field with several other cars where I grew up that the farmer let goats tear up. Looking back it would have been well worth it to get the stainless off of it. Wish I knew then what I do now. I think the EFI will really make that 428 a nice driver for you. Hope you get plenty of time to enjoy it.

Seems like it’s getting too much gas, definitely carburetor problems. You’ll get it figured out. Hope you put out a video after it’s fixed. GOOD LUCK 👍 Vinny 🇺🇸

Best of luck with the upgrade. That's one awesome car you have preserved there!

Nice job on the camera work & thanks for the ride. I know that fuel injection is going to be awesome.

I love that year! Beautiful car!

Just watched both your videos on your Starliner. Beautiful car.

My first car in 1966 was a midnight blue, 352, 1961 Starliner. Was 16 years old. I didn't appreciate it back then and bought a 1963 Chevy Impala convertable. They are works of art ,rare and s beautiful.

Awesome. I remember Pop's 64 with 429,oohhh the G-Forces (he's still kicking himself for gettn rid of it)! 😎👍

Badass car love the way it sounds

What a beautiful ride

Love the car, good luck with the FI

Wayne you are my hero. I live in Michigan but I have a condo in Hallandale probably not that far from you. I have all products as well. That carb problem sounds like you may have to adjust the float because if the carbs are mismatched, you will bog down as they can work against each other.

I had a '62 2dr post, a 406 car with 3sp overdrive....When the 406 broke it was replaced with a Holman Moody race prepped 427 high rise built for a drag boat but using 3x2bbl and duel point 406 stuff....It was white with small hubcaps and it bent a set of Cal-Van "unbendable" traction bars......Best sleeper EVER ! ....Let's just say it was a 'torquey little motor'...haha (it was known to lift the front wheels when hitting 2nd gear)....The 1960's were soooo much fun, eh ....PS, ...I actually had the same '66 Mustang steering wheel and white shift knob on a Hurst shifter.....(I'm your 428th 'like'...how about that? )

Same steering wheel was available in the 66' 7 Litre, a beautiful car. I hated the 67' wheel and everything after that was meh! What the hell did you do to break the 406, those things are rare? Was it like a 4 spd on the column in the form of an "H" pattern?

like a beautiful woman, always a little rough..... what a piece of work, congratulations. I am in awe and envious ! ! !

Love love love the big FE and I'm a MoPar guy. : ) Works nicely in my '66 highboy F260, will light all 4 tires in 1st and squawk them hard in 2nd if that's what you want to do. But Holleys? Unless you want to tweak them to the ragged edge they're not worth their finicky nature. Enjoy that FI,.

Beautiful car a think fuel injection is a great idea. Hope for an after ride

That was the strangest car intro ever.

Wayne, I would suggest you go to a much milder cam for street use; I recall you are running a high duration high lift cam - really only a maximum HP drag racing piece. Since you have a roller, You would want around .520-.540 lift and absolutely less than 230 duration at .05" lift. you don't need more on the roller as it has fast ramps. I would go Hydraulic. No valve lash to constantly check. And you don't need fuel injection, you need someone who can tune dual quads - or you can optionally run dual 2 bbls. You don't need more than 750 CFM anyways. If you go too big, you are getting a poor booster signal. Also, check you fuel pressure. Carbs don't like over 6 to 8 psig of pressure. If you need more fuel, you run a bigger fuel line ( like 3/8" instead of 5/16" ) not more pressure. Dont give up there are guys who know this stuff. I hope its running better and you are too. since this video was posted in November of 2017. My da had a 62 whn I was just a pup of about 6 year old. loved that car. I Think it was a 352 V8. Happy Trails! - Sandy

Ford had the 750 Carter quads, GMA had 850 Rochester quads, without being turbocharged they all dumped too much fuel into the engine, I had the same problem with my 61 Ford starliner that was used in the valachi papers movie 🎥🎬🎞️ , beautiful ride great condition great footage 🎥🎬 👍👍👍‼️

Nice car. The more I look at it the more I like it. Very cool. Iron American dream on KZread. Take a ride across the promised land. Drive across America.

Nice

The price of gas must be cutting into your burger budget …. :>D

NICE~

16 years old I was turned loose with 61 ,390 three speed on floor,converted from automatic. Two blown transmission it disappeared from garage one day,replaced by a 62 mercury 4 door,dad said it was for my own good.

Love the 64 XL interior....was it hard to install...?

Someone, with 5 minutes of contemplation, probably told him to toss the carbs.

That's a sweet car. The front end kinda looks like a Falcon? The hood I mean..

Warning 50% of aftermarket fuel injection systems don't work right my recommendation try a single 850 Edelbrock Quadrajet or 2 -750 quadrajets And that is the finest example of American engineering beautiful car

Which transmission are you using? T-10 or "top loader"?

Did you get the fuel injection installed?

Curious, plug temp changed? Fuel pressure, if she’s hungry give what she wants, you just told the wife the same story, Lol. Also a power cutoff to the pump for emergencies. I’m sure you thought of all these, but just in case. If affordable a Halon extinguishers, I dislike fuel injection for this very reason. I seldom saw a car on the side of the road in flames in the 60’s thru 70’s . Now it’s as common as the sun. Nice machine, bravo this was no easy task. Thanks for keeping real cars available for the youth to see and learn to appreciate both Grandpa and his days of true American Freedom.

WOW 😳

Gaskets shrinking/hardening, sounds more like a power valve blown. Backfires can do that.

Do you think your surging issue could be vacuum issues, since you have a non factory cam?

What's it do in the quarter? My 66 Galaxie XL best 13.79 warmed over 390, 4:11 gears etc. But at least it ran 13s, mostly a driver but fun at the track. There's more to these cars than Lawn Chair talking.

Still have this Starliner? How's it running? I would love to know more about your brakes. Look like they are manual disk brakes?

Best cure drive the damn thing up to pigeon forge tenn... up 441 that fixes my 427 issues

The 428(4.13 bore, 3.98 stroke) CID wasn't available till five years after the Starliner. ..even the dual-quad intakes were still two years away...this is an amalgamation of FE engines to an earlier body.

He obviously knows the engine isn't date code correct. 428's are a lot easier to source than 406's or 427's, but hey, he did kept it an FE. Additionally the XL 500 interior is either from a 62' or 63'. 61's did not have floor mounted shifters, but they did have a 4 spd on the column option. Those actually might be Thunderbird front seats, but that's ok too. The freaky thing about it, and probably the coolest, is the cast iron, tubular header pipes that only came stock on the 427 (R) code engine and maybe the 406 in 62', but certainly not on any iteration of the 428. Wheels and tires aren't stock either, it has a dual master cylinder and he probably upgraded the brakes while he was at it, and why not? This car is a subtle and tastefully done restomod.

Try some Edelbrock carbs !

The interior looks like it's from a 1964 Galaxie 500/XL?

Your floats are not closing the needle valve. All fuel is drawn from the bowl 🥣. Just like any other container, if the container is full,...the needle valve closes the fuel flow, the flow from the fuel supply. When the valves close,...fuel will not overfill the combination. Idling is mixed with the right amount of atmosphere.

Those exhaust tips should disappear... but nice car

I AGREE, WAY TOO BIG, LOOKS OUT OF PLACE.

Where’s the update!

How much 0-60?

Your float level is set incorrectly or if it has brass floats one could have a hole in it making it heavy with fuel there fore closing the needle and seat

FI is nice but the two Fours = “cool factor pegged”.

That must be a rare car.iam a ford guy and you just don't thems great looking car.

What’s the likelihood of me finding a 61 for under 20k? I want a good driver quality car and not a show car. I think it’s quite unlikely. Guess I’ll have to settle for a 64

Those carbs are not difficult to dial in.

I'd put two Holley 4 barrel"s on her from the 80"s .F fuel injection

Open up the throttle floats just a degree or 2

rough idle?........camshaft profile possibly

That car just need me and the road built to run not to pet and lord I hope I'm in your will purnell of nc

That door fought you on closing...didn't close all the way, did it? BTW........I'm of the opinion that Ford NEVER produced finer styling than the 1961 Starliner!

Driveway full of fuel injected cars and dual quad 427 that never gets run hard.....

Why do this generation of hot rodders insist on the ugliest aftermarket wheels available.... other than that beautiful car

Id shoot someone for touching my tri power 406 or dual carb 427 sohc. If u can't jet or rebuild or unstick a float. You don't deserve that car. C'mon millions of ol school gear heads would pay to get your cfm set for the way you drive. Your spitting on ol Henry's grave. Put a set of 25" rims on it and cut a hole for a big stereo system while you're at it.

Carburetors work just fine, smooth reliable dependable when they used gasoline of the day. How ever with modern gasoline their problematic especially in hot weather in climates.

Way over-carbureted.

The 428 is not a true Hi PO engine like the made for racing 427. That's his big mistake by going the cheap route and not matching heads, manifold, cam, distributor, equal length headers and the right 8 V's.

dont change carbs! NO
