Impossible builds to possible
Thanks for checking out Hartwick Performance!
My name is James and I have been building projects in the driveway and backyard since I was a kid. This channel kicked off with my 7.3L Godzilla swapped Mustang (which I was told could never be done) and V8 swapped Grass Grabber Lawn Mower (which was just for fun).
I love cars, V8's, and fabrication work is what I enjoy most. On this channel, you'll get to see me on a real guy's budget located in Florida.

You see me retrieve this car from my brother's house where it broke down, get it running again, do a burnout, weigh the car, and get base line information prior to our upgrades!! Tons more to come as I am extremely excited to build this one! Fun fact, my very first car in high school was a 1997 Mercury Cougar. Stay tuned for all the little, but ver...

In this episode I repair some minor problems with the junk yard find F100. The truck has been on a few cruises and even a car meet already!! Too cool! I am still planning on selling the truck to fund a separate storage building to get some cars out of the weather. One you haven't seen yet was nearly in a tornado on 5/10! More to come on that lol

I built a mobile cherry picker off the back of my 70's Sears Suburban garden tractor. I used a Harbor Freight cherry picker I got off market place and an ATV winch I had on a mower with a plow. Hopefully I'll be able to put this puppy to work! Follow for more updates: hartwickperformance
Restoration of an old Sears Tractor

On this episode of HP, you see me finally get to the Sears Suburban garden tractor I found in a junk yard over 2 years ago to use as a donor for the new V8 mower. I fell in love with it and decided it needed a second chance at life. I look forward to making more videos on it and to show the implements and attachments they can have. Thank you for watching!

i found this f100 at a friend's junkyard and picked it up for a great price. The truck looks like it was someone's project truck with a fully cleaned and painted frame with several new parts,. It has an all new interior, weather stripping, and a new windshield! Just some minor brake work and this truck is now a driver! Follow on instagram for more updates! hartwickperformance

F100 Update and final goodbye to the Crown Vic
Dont you need to worry about it getting to hot?
First thing before you get the final tune is to change the air intake to draw the air from the outside.
Thank you for saving another mustang, you did a great job. Bless you
You should have him out there helping you
Engine masters proved it dont matter how much you crush a pipe, unless its closed, it flows the same and makes the same hp
I don’t see how you work in that heat! I would have drunk 3 gallons of water and still not get any work done lol
Awesome job!
Got to protect the king cobra! Like how it went into garage instead of anything else!
I had one just like it but mine was white with black interior
Bro, what's up with the godzilla swap?
Awesome! I have a 66 and been wondering about body swapping it. Keep going with this, I am.looking forward to more on it
What’s her IG?
Sorry, but those are not cougars. 66 to 69 is true cougars, with a built 351 Cleveland they're capable of 600 hp.😅
I have the cobra stuff on my mark viii. Even cobra rear rotors with extended brackets for the factory mark viii rear calipers.
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend testing if your soldering iron is hot with your face. 😅 Keep up the good work.
You can buy o ring in a roll and superglue them into the intake trough, make it a touch long and glue the ends together….super cheap and reliable seal too
Inline six, ford is inline, gm is straight six and mopar is slant....its not me being picky but the names are technically listed because thats the titles to the engines..
The tbird was the first ford to get the 4.6 sohc the Lincoln town car was the first to get the 4.6 sohc lincoln branded and the 4.6 dohc mark viii first gen was also forged internals then in 96 everything was cast. The mid 2000s navigator came with the optional 5.4 dohc same as the ford gt just derated obviously and again cast vs forged internals. So many cars used the 4.6/ 5.4 in supercars
Lincoln town car/Crown vic was first to get the 4.6 sohc in 91-92 and the first 2yrs has the standard small block ford transmission pattern, we used a lot of them to swap into manual 4wd F150s with the 4.2 V6s back in the mid 90s
bro! long time no see! keep em comin - ❤ur stuff!!!
Again just curious why didn't you use the mark viii harness and computer and parts
Why didn't u just use the suspension from the mark viii
hell yeah!
hey who you talking about when you say we have to do this or that? i'm just f ing with you i enjoy your videos
Hell yeah man, Im on some goofy adventure to scat pack swap a cts love the cougar
Water cooling ? Oil in fuel ? Probably be okay as It was only a very short run. It does sound nice ! I have some cars that are two stroke , but they are as they left the factory. Good to see someone retrofitting two stroke engines 👌👍
I saw one picture of that sand rail/hill climbing rig on a forum ages ago, the solution they went with was to keep it as a vertical shaft somehow? I don’t understand how they made it work but it was pretty pimp
I am in need of a 2stroke v8 for a project of mine if you want to sell one please let me know
I GUESS IM GUNNA SUB, BECAUSE U DO STUPID SHIT LIKE ME....BUY A MANUEL FOR THAT YR OUTBOARD
Where did you order the front tires and wheels from..
Put alme 410 gears in the rear end of thet Godzilla mustang and watch it really wake up
How did you get the intake to fit without cutting a hold in you're hood ?
I would enjoy driving that lawn mower so much. Wow
On startup, it sounded like an F3 engine 😮
Still Slow kiddo! try again. Throw a Hyabusa motorcycle engine in it next time. Somebody already did a video bike motor swap on a riding lawn motor here on youtube and that was years ago and that shit hauled ass.
I had the same problem with the spray paint, complete garbage now
Nick project, Wise, you one of the few who understand too much air flow port on the street is a selling gimmick = less torque or low end power below 2.5 k rpm , too much air flow 3&4 don't have that instant snappy pick up, as in 4 th gear most of the time, your only allow 10 second gas it on the st. If you're not hitting 65 mph your car slow.st not a race track . After 65 the rd like a sidewalk lol
Just but a sheet of G10 fiberglass and make your own gaskets.
Man, I don't know how you work in the heat like that. I'm down near Tampa, can't stand to be out working on the car for more than a few minutes right now.
Get the Alumna-Blast engine paint for intakes/aluminum and Cast-Blast for cast iron, they look exactly like fresh cleaned aluminum and cast iron and ive never seen a can that didnt spray lol IMRC I- intake M- manifold R- runner C- control Go to your local industrial gasket company and they will have an oval/flat style o ring material in any length you can cut to fit in the gasket groove for the discontinued o rings or look up some for a Duratec 4cyl, LS or any other brand that will seal the deal lol
You can use the gen1 harness and split the wires to the coil packs to run the COP as an original batch fire system, we did it a lot back in the 90s early 2000s on mustangs and i did it on my 96 Explorer too for coil near plug ignition to get rid of those ugly coil packs up front. Now that ive seen the front suspension on that NM12 Cougar and you have an old Mustang there you should check to see how close that strut, spindle and lower A arm is to fitting because Nissan S14/15 suspension is nearly a bolt on and the 5 lug spindles has the same 5x4-1/2” lug pattern.
Store your paint in your house where i assume you have an air conditioner. It's probably getting too hot.
Lotta good info shared.
Man I hope you have life insurance…for your family
HEY MAN BEEN THERE YOUR OH WELL ATTITUDE SAVES A LOT OF CUSSING THROWING A TANTRUM DONT CHANGE NOTHING SHIT IS ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN HOW YOU DEAL WITH IT MAKES THE MAN GREAT JOB :)
Did a 3V swap on my 2V mustang. I can appreciate this.
Frick yea
Thatll be a good flip!
Godzilla??? I don't see any gtr's smh...🤦
Looks like you had to do all the same bodywork as mine, Everything.. looks awesome.
I used to want one of those Cougars. Still love the design of it, but its not for me anymore. Great video.
