The patience and dedication it must take to do this. I'm spoiled by working in a shop with lifts, AllData, all the tools etc. The fact you're doing this in a garage with a Haynes manual is incredible. Mucho respect and can't wait to see the other side of this journey.
Hahah trust me I’m a mechanic too and being spoiled by lifts and like you said alldata it’s so nice. Unfortunately at home we don’t have those luxuries just yet so we gotta go old school haha. But thanks man we got some big plans for it!
I get doged by shops but that's what I do and I make sure my work is 100%. I like to help people that don't have alot of money. Why 200 per axle. 500 dollar Brake job. Dudes in these shops are papamered babies. Atleast in Tennessee
I'm in to watch the long haul on this one! I inherited my Dad's 03 GT after he passed, and he had a KB2.1 system ready to install but I want to build the motor first and max the blower out, so a build like this is right up my alley. Can't wait to see the path you take on this one, great work guys! I wish I knew someone near me that could help with something of this scale, right now I can't do this by myself so I'm going to have to pay a shop, which hurts the budget lol!
Aye thanks for the interest and support we appreciate it! That sounds like a good idea to build the motor first and then you can probably max that blower out in the mid to upper 400HP range if I guess. I'm having a machine shop build the motor for me now but we'll put everything back together in the car once the short block is built. Best of luck with yours!
Looks like a great opportunity to lay a nice coat of paint down on the block after you get it back from the machine shop. Really looking forward to seeing all your hard work pay off 🤘🏻
Absolutely it would be a good time to do that! And thank you we hope it'll pay off also
10:30 lol one wears gloves, one wears watches
Two different types of dudes 😂
Great job in tearing down to bare block. Love the content 👌
Thank you 🤙🏽
Modmax forged crank and rods and DSS pistons with valve reliefs so you can run a more aggressive cam. Mine are Todd Warrens. Full ARP hardware on the bottom end and headstuds. Stock heads just had them cleaned up with new seals and guides. Good luck finding a decent cobra crank. So much better options there.
That would be sick! Yeah I'm gonna be running Todd's cams also. Definitely will do ARP for those yes. Yeah that's the plan for the forged crank so we can turn it up in the future
Same thing happened to my 2V NA. Make sure to clean out your intake manifold. There will be pieces of piston everywhere inside that will go right down into the new engine
That sucks and I'm most likely going with a different manifold but if I end up reusing mine I'll definitely check
This car will turn into a beast 🔥
Thank you! It definitely is going to
That's crazy, I have a 02 gt that I have been running a blower on that ended up with the exact same damage! I was at 100k on the engine and had the same damage on cylinder 3 as well! I just got done with my rebuild and I stumbled across this video, so crazy to see the exact same thing happen!
Apparently it's a pretty common issue a lot of people I discussed it with on the Facebook forums said they've heard it happen before. It is crazy! Next year I'll have a fully forged bottom end, new fuel system and all so I'm hoping with a good tune it won't happen again
@@RatchetWrenches I kept mine pretty tame so I didn't take the budget through the roof lol but I did the stock crank with h beam rods and forged pistons. I'm still running the stock heads that I had freshened up and I used ARP head studs. Once I have everything broken in I'll turn the boost up a little and it should be a good DD car....until I decide to go the next step hahaha. I'm excited to see what you go with and how your build turns out!!
That crank is light compared to a forged piece.
Promod time!!!!
Letsss gooooo
Issa Promod 😎. Thanks dude!
you can buy the eagle rotating assembly. Its much stronger than the stock one. Or some manly rods and diamond pistons with a cobra crank.
For sure yeah! That's what I'm leaning towards one of those 2 set ups
Let's say I'm working on this motor and i drop a nut out bolt down where a fuel injector sets.
Should i take the intake manifold off? Vacuum it? Magnet pen?
Would it land on the piston?
Thank you
I did that. Haven't got the bolt out
i got a question on number 5 , does it have 1 or 2 thrust bearings ?
I have an 03 Gt and a spark plug broke thread because the previous owner heli coiled it I guess but it ate the spark plug and shot it out of the exhaust leaving nothing but a tiny chip on the piston
Which piston/rod set up are you selecting for the rebuild? And are you getting a forged crank as well?
I haven't 100% decided yet but I'm most likely going with a forged crank yes. I'll make a post about it when ordered so if you would like to keep up with the build feel free to subscribe!
What kind of HP are you looking to make? Enjoying the content.
Thanks! And honestly that's what I'm stuck on currently because to push more power I'll need to switch over to race or E85 and E isn't available where I am so I'm kind of limited. As of now I'd say 600HP is my goal
Make sure you get a MMR performance oil pump
Definitely will get a solid oil pump!
Hey man do you have solid motor mounts?, how do you like them?? I’m gonna buy some please respond🙏🏻
Yeah I do and I like them no issues so far. Maximum Motorsports
Are you going on e85 with the new motor?
I would love to but there are no E-85 gas stations near where we live so I probably won't. Ordering by the drum isn't possible either since I don't have the space. I wish I did.
In a bother video, could you explain why build the 2v over getting a built 4v or even a coyote swap?
That could be a good informative video thanks for the suggestion 👍🏼
What do you two do career wise?
