This guy is going to be huge one day man. The quality camera work and time spent on his videos deserve a lot! more attention.
I agree
I appreciate it guys!!! 🤙🤙
Respect the struggle!
Love the cartoon driving to the parts store, freaking hilarious!
😂
I admire your patience. I was working on my Foxbody last night and I was cursing like a little sailor boy, flexing and screaming. lol.
😂😂
I used the zip tie trick on my plug wires, works great, and looks pretty good too!
I used to cut sections of small rubber hose and use zip ties to isolate the wire too 😂
Came to this channel for this build. I will be staying!! #keepitup !
Hell yeah, welcome aboard!
I used the bread for my pilot bearing on my 96 GT and it worked great.
He will be huge. He reminds me of a young Derek on vvg
Haha, I'm older than him by one year 😂
Good job! Looks great! Watch out with those 4 hole injectors, I bought a new set thinking it’s better but, I could never get my car to run with those. I had to buy another set of single hole injectors. A real $$ pita! I hope you fair better?!
Haha we'll see!
After Episode 2, I HAD to come back!
😂 hope you come back for part 4
Can't wait!
When you are done please come to my house and help me work on my fox......I never get anything done that fast. You are doing like 4 times the work than I get done on a good day!
Haha I just jump in and buckle down. Plus it helps to have deadlines. "we're gonna lose the shop if we don't get this done!"
I also used the explorer ev6 injectors in my fox cars. They atomize fuel better and you can actually gain 2 to 3 more mpg out of them depending on how you drive. So good move on that!
Except I put in the 17# ones 😑 pulling them back out today
Ah, I made another post about injectors, which I wrote as soon as you shown the 4 hole injectors, I just finished video. I’m assuming u have spark? If ya can’t find anything wrong, I suggest installing the old injectors and give it a try, those 4 hole are funky as Phuk!
I've also heard good things about them, better fuel economy and such, but we'll see
Its a 5/16 shaft just use a 1/4 in drive socket extension and a drill.
The sockets I had didn't fit, and I didn't want to pop a socket off lifting it out.
5.8l 351 are all 28 OZ. The 302 is 28 5.0L I think 83up are all 50 oz old people associate 5.0l with the 50 oz change.
That hose on the oil fill is where the crankcase draws fresh air. The vacuum side is in the PCV valve. No oil will get drawn into the engine from there. And if you're worried about oil vapors, install an oil seperator.
Keep up the good work. I'm enjoying the content so far.
Good to know! Had an oil separator on my other 5.0.
My 5.0 block from a 99 Exp was factory painted black
Hey man! Great video. I'm from Venezuela. I'm working on a foxbody as well. And My English..😅
Haha, nice! Doing good so far!
I like to put the T5 with the engine. I assume it's easier to mate them outside the car.
It can be but I didn't want to unbolt the headers from the crossover
You know you can just lay that hood back against the windshield. You'll get a lot more clearance for the motor in and out. Just put a blanket on the windshield invite her back on it.
Unfortunately, with the cowl on this hood, I cannot
You’re doing a great job man! Love the videos!
Thank you!! 🤙🤙
My 92 Fox block wasn’t painted, and neither was the block in my New Edge.
Interesting, both of mine were and the 460 in our 90 F250
Lol love the thumbnail 🔧🚗🦊👊🇺🇸💪
There are a lot of feelings behind it 😂
Fire video 🔥🔥 I’m thinking the injectors .. but I’m no top mechanic
I'm inclined to agree with you on the injectors
@@VeteranRevivals Reverse polarity for the different injectors maybe?
Unless those explorer injectors are severely faded, those are the later model 18lb/hr injectors.
Thought the ivory ones were 17# at 39psi
Oh I got ya, yes they are the wrong ones and are coming back out. I was unaware of the 17's when I put them in for this video
You will never find a 50oz 351, they were all 28oz
Good to know
Did you pull the alignment tool👀
🤔
Factory spark plugs for the 5.0 fit the gt 40 heads fine.
In this case, whatever spark plugs that were in the E7 heads, would not fit in the GT40 heads.
@@VeteranRevivals
AGSF32 OR AP104 are the correct plugs for a 95 cobra or 96 explorer.
ASF42 OR AC25 is correct for a 5.0 HO
with e7 heads. Shorter but still screw in. I use the AP104 in mime. It's a stock roller block with GT40 heads and explorer intake.
Im posting on this older comment only to add relevant information for those concerned over the difference in E7 and GT40 spark plugs. Both are 14mm style plugs that will physically screw into either of the cylinder heads yes.......
There IS a huge difference in the reach of the plug into the chamber, with one measuring .460 and the other .760 respectively. The original Motorcraft plug for the F3ZE "Cobra" head is part # AWSF-32C. The "W" in the part # denotes the extended reach of .760
All the difference is on the more important combustion chamber side....which cannot be seen with the heads installed. They are different plugs for good reason.
Correction, I quoted the reach dimensions almost the same......
The "W" in the plugs # is .708 reach
Apologies.
Bahahaha Awesome ending 🤣
Hahahaha the pain....
Damn I missed it..
All good man, there will be more!
That was the saddest ending of a CZcams video I’ve ever seen.
😂😂
It’s probably too late, but don’t use the throw out bearing that came with the RAM clutch kit, order the Ford Performance one. unless you like the sound of chirping birds so much you want to replicate it.
Wth... Really???
@@VeteranRevivals ya, I've made that mistake and so have many others. the ones that come in kits just aren't good quality and won't last the life of the clutch. my RAM one started chirping after only a few thousand miles. Look it up on forums you'll see plenty of people saying the same. hopefully you get lucky, or they've changed suppliers. I dunno if you've started it yet, but make sure the distributor is not in 180 degrees off. make sure it's at tdc on the compression stroke when you install it pointing to #1. also, maybe set it to 10 degrees for initial startup, and make sure the spout connector is out. Great job on the build and getting it in the car though, it looks great.
Did all those things haha, I think it's a computer ignition module issue
@@VeteranRevivals bummer, that computer wizardry is beyond me. A good guy to contact would be Matthew Puzy who has the channel @tecmotiondyno. He's probably the formost expert on Fox body computer systems in the world, and nice dude that's always willing to help to boot.
Yeah, I'm going to give it about 15 minutes of looking it over before I just yank it all out and put a carb on it 😂
Grounds
I got one ground strap from each head to the firewall and one ground cable off the front of the block. But I will definitely be checking connections.
What rocker’s are you using ?
PRW 1.6 cast steel rollers
MAF needs to be installed..
It is never mind. Uhm??
what the hell Brah?? 🥺
Dude.... I have been avoiding even going in there and looking at it again
None lemon oven cleaner works great on the Greasy parts.give it try..
Vgg
Where?
