Everyone makes mistakes haha. Don't forget to grab some rad stuff here! www.NineONineSpeedCompany.com
My last order you double shipped me my decals, do you have a donate button somewhere so I can kick you some extra cash? I order stuff to support you and the channel, not cost you extra LOL
@@deadclutchwhoops. Keep it haha. No worries. Consider it a gift for your support. I appreciate it!
@deadclutch Same with me I got doubles too I ordered 2 decals and got 4, Craig your awesome dude I love following your builds cause no challenge ever stops you from completing something! Continue the awesome content and making dreams become reality! @thecraig909
thought you had already graduated from engineering school?
Just got a foxbody tee 😃
Instead of blowing up engines you are now buying them pre-blown up. Gotta admit that does save a lot of time. Lately if not for bad luck you would have no luck at all!
Ahh, that sucks!😖
Junkyard 101, always pull drivetrain parts from cars with crash damage. Usually driving when crashed.
Clean body = no engine or tranny
2:45 you had a lincoln mark 8 right behind you bro. it has the 280bhp DOHC 4.6 V8 basically the mustang cobra engine. I would've grabbed that if it was ok.
Yep, and always pull pan 10 “more minutes in the wrecking yard.
The only thing is, it looked a bit like that engine bay was empty.
@@kelvinhill9874 the didn't really show cuz they only show the bumper. I said if it was still there and in good condition that would be a bad ass swap in a vic! yes I know about the murauder.
Yeah it looks like the mother is gone on it though
Yeah bro...lmao
Mom said there would be days like these...she just didn't tell me how many and how often.
😂😂
We've all been there man. Ive got a flat spot on my forehead from banging it on the wall 😂😂.
Times like these make you want to not be a car guy
But when your hard work finally fires up the smiles always come back
fuck the vic, youve GRADUATED!! thats all that matters. GOOD JOB, KID CONGRATS!!
This is why you ALWAYS roll an engine over by hand before going through the pain of yanking it at the junkyard. At least you got the warranty. 🤣
Yeah can admit I was in a rush cause the yard was closing and we barely made it. BUT 100% my mistake.
@@Thecraig909you’re a real one bud! Accepting accountability and responsibility. Not common for your gen making you a real rare one for sure. Keep up the awesome work and content!!
If your ever in this situation again, this is something I don’t recommend for longevity, but in a pinch it’s worked. If your cylinders are in decent shape, just replace the piston-rod assemblies in your original motor for the Vic. The bob weights will be within factory tolerances hopefully, and with a re-ring on the motor you might be surprised.
Best of luck and happy hot rodding. Nothing to it, but to do it…..
A lot of the reason I personally watch you is because of how cool calm and collective you are! Any little problem
That would tick me off you take it on the chin and push through! Don’t lose your cool man I’m sure you’ll bounce back 2x better!
Just look at the bright side brotha, your doing something you love everyday. Turning wrenches has highs and lows but at least your not stuck at a 9-5 job out of necessity to live. Keep your head up brotha God bless 🙌
You could technically take the broken motors and make a couple of tables out of them and then sale them.
Engine tables sale for around $1500.
Soo you could still make some profit and maybe even use said profit for one of your project vehicles.
I've done the 302 in a crown victoria. Still working on it but it runs. It works great on it, more torque than the 4.6. And cheaper to mod
And the 4.6s have a bunch of torque! Gotta be unbelievable!
You have to swap the trans too
Or atleast a bellhousing since Craig's is manual swapped
@@Vaino_Hotti on mines I did a 4r70w from an explorer and manual valve body. That way it's less electronics
I think we've all been there at one time or another, Craig. Just roll thru it, little brother. One step at a time. I know it got you down for a bit, but we're all pulling for you and this is making GREAT content - because it's REAL. Thanks for posting
Craig I love your content but you bring a lot of "bad luck" on yourself. SLOOOW DONE and do things right. Good engineers learn to think things through and prevent issues. Learn from your mistakes my friend. I'll be watching.👍
You got car luck like I do, bro! Lol did something similar. Went and bought a trans for my wife's avalanche. 300 as is. Worked for 6 months and took a shit on us. A year later, I got her a trailblazer, and the same issue trans goes out after about 9 months. Bought a grand am had a head gasket issue fixed head gasket fixed it ran great for like 8 months, the security system. Messes up can't fix it. Got a g6 from a buddy of mine ran great for about 2 months. I took it all over one day, going across railroad tracks, but I hadn't had a single issue before this. All of a sudden, an error pops up on dash starts revving high. Pull over shut it off, thinking it'll reset after I restart it, nope will not crank.
I feel you bud. You'll get it sorted keep your head up.
Don't worry mate, I'm pissed and broke too! 😂😂
Can't win em all bud! I've got 12 vehicles all by myself, and no one else to help me work on any of them. I know exactly how you feel. Just gotta keep puttin one foot in front of the other. It will all work out in the end.
I recognize that yard, right off the 76 near the Oceanside gate of Pendleton. I pulled some good fox parts out of there when I was enlisted!
Congratulations on your graduation craig Awesome job huge achievement
Yes gotta wind them over a few times in the wrecking yard with plugs out if practical or the wrecker has to let you know its a backyard Barbecue conversion candidate if they know its fu...ed lol
But its all good to say what why should of after the fact mate,
No judgement here we have all done something similar in our lifetimes
Love your channel
G'Day from Queensland Australia 👌💥
Don’t beat yourself up I would say most mechanics have made mistakes think of it this way 20 years from now you will have great stories you didn’t give up that’s what counts keep your head up you are doing great 😊😊😊
Go away for a few days relax😊👍
Look ok i love you Craig, but are you sniffing glue! 😂 8:52
It’s okay partner! Recess break, pros and cons of all your options and hit hard again content is raw and real 👍🏽 I love the 4.6 crown Vic’s had several Lx Sport models and just rip tire after I get done wit them
I had an idea before I clicked on the video that it would be flashbacks to the Galaxies. "I have the worst luck with these cars. The world must hate me or these cars do." 😂
I'm thinking you have had a learning experience. Good luck! Can't wait to see it done
8:00 OH THE PAIN!!!!! SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS!!! I won't even say "Did you put a wrench on it and turn the engine over before you pulled it?" I'm NOT gonna say it! NOPE!! I'm not gonna do it! (Sorry but I'm sure you've calmed down by now and I'm hoping you'll get a bit of a laugh over it now. But remember with these types of things "If you think you've reached ROCK BOTTOM make sure you've put down the shovel first!!" LOL.
Dang man! That sucks. Like your content no matter what, people need to understand you are student as well. You are working on a lot of car stuff too, the other cars will get done it takes time!
Great stuff thanks
Now that you showed this. I feel like junkyard motor if possible pull the pan before fully pulling. Even if you got to lift the engine. Pull it to check.
Man that sucks!
Keep going, don't give up !!!
Most of us have been and feel your pain! Congratulations on graduating! I'm heading over to the march store now to help fund some more mayhem!
Avid pick-n-pull, for engines if Vic in yard is totaled, the vehicle was running up to the point it was totaled, 12:17 pull it, most of the time the engine will be sound, car looks clean then most likely came to yard for mechanical issues…
Heck yeah man can’t wait to see the vic again with the new motor
Could be worse! You could be swapping an engine in your wife's 2017 pilot that should be part of a recall for rod failure. 🙃 I feel your pain, brother. 😂
really appreciate the honesty in this video
The coyote does drop right in and bolt up to the crown Vic trans. But I say tear apart both Vic motors and make one
These things happen, dont let it grind you down!
I’ve decided that your channel is better than the Overly Scripted Power Nation channel. They NEVER show the side of Hot Rodding where you suffer the trials and tribulations of three busted engines and the anger and frustration of the mechanic. Power Block are you listening?????
Always bring straws in the junkyard and put them in each spark plug hole and rotate the motor if all the straws move your good
It'll all workout in the end. Even thought setbacks suck it IS progress. From almost dying, motors breaking, especially things not going to plan. It is all progress. And the best way to deal with it is by praying man. I'll be praying over you 100% man.
It'd be fun some kind of Officer Dan "To Protect And Swerve" tribute wrap on the Vic
Good luck with the new new engine. The crown vic is worth the effort
It's a 2v if the one in your car runs pull it tear it down rhey are simple and reliable dive it slap a rod and piston if you need or timing set whatever it is keep up the goodnwork!
Put an F100 body on the CV with the coyote. Thats my vote.
He has had one done for,3 years
put a small block chevy in it LOLOL
Hey Craig, your doing a great job brother.
I did had a 96 Lincoln mark 8 with the 4.6 cobra motor it ran great
Nice ! 🏴☠️
Craig you seem surprised that the engine was Junk, after all It's a Ford! LOL. I once was replacing a C4 transmission and went to the parts yard and pulled 4 transmissions until I found a good enough one and Had that rebuilt, I was P/O by the time I finished. since then I just send them out for rebuild that way they are under a warranty for My Customers!
Drop the fox body motor in it my type of friend
Bad but fun decisions at midnight 😈😂
Dude I still have the 4.6 out of my dad 97 f150 that has 485000 miles on it in my garage. Only reason it's not in the truck is the trans broke in half and the frame rusted out. And we pulled a 30 foot camper with an 80's John deere garden tractor in the box 280 miles to our lake property. With all four of our family in the truck lol and a dog
Lame! Congratulations on the ME degree! For sure know the feeling of losing an engine. It’s all the work and pain. lol hope it gets better ! Thanks for the videos one of the only ford guys left! I wanna see whatever works. The trucks are cool the cars cool literally can’t go wrong. Keep on keeping on!
You learned a hard lesson. Never leave the junk yard with an engine that you haven't run yet. If they will not let you fire it up and they won't either, don't buy it. A good junk yard will not sell an engine that they haven't seen run. If they do, they are crooks looking to take your money. I've bought hundreds of engines in the past 35 years. I've never bought one that I didn't see and hear it run first. I've only been in one junk yard that wouldn't let me fire up an engine before I bought it. They put themselves out of business because of too many complaints. Eventually No one would buy from them.
Tristan, I think the 5.0 coyote motor will be good in that car do the frame and how you want to and build it up as how you want to OK toss some black widows exhaust on it and have fun brother you basically have everything there to build something cool yeah buddy
Go on a vacation, reset , recharge . Cheers 🇨🇦
Good luck
Dude I heard you say "I'm going to buy the warranty" and even if you didn't there should be at least a 7 day return policy if the engine is grenaded! Take that one back and exchange it or replace it.
Bro...I know it's tough..sometimes life just pisses in our face...but this to shall pass...I know u are just doing what u can..as a fan of the channel I appreciate u being honest and candid with us..I know u lost some cash..I'm gonna do what I can and go get order a pony boy shirt and maybe something else from the merch page ..I've been meaning to anyway..I know it doesn't cover the motor but maybe it will help and hopefully make u smile at least for a second....head up bro!!
Keep at it the good times out weigh the rough times over the course of time.
They are not all success stories but it does make for a good video thanks for the video
Sorry, brother. Great choice on the warranty. Good luck figuring out what to work on next.
If you find a Crown Vic in a junkyard I'm fairly sure a blown engine is why it's there!!
Oy!! You're doing a fine job. You've had a run of bad luck. Shit happens. Move on. You're fixing to graduate soon, you have a shop to work on all your shit, and you've got a good crew of people to do it all with. You'll get to your projects when you can. It's fine.
Why not harvest a couple good piston/rods from a junk engine, and install into the running/knocking engine?
Crown Vic with a Coyote Motor would be sick!
Hey no matter what you film we will watch. don’t stretch your self thin my guy.
Me personally I learned to have faith and your building character for greatness!
This comment was posted half way through. But patience is hard to have I’ll tell ya that
Those things literally run forever. That's absolutely crazy.
I know this is a week or more ago but you could have pulled both engines apart to build one good one only paying for bearings and gaskets and dingle ball hone the damn thing. Then you'll have a spare. Just a thought.
If you just needed it to run I would have pulled together parts from both blown engines to make one good engine as long as all the cylinder walls on one of the blocks was good.
this is why i alway pull the pan at the yard when taking home a motor
Lmao, you thought you were bout to do a simple build?! Have you forgotten your whole life?! Bro…. Every single car on this channel turns into a “go overboard” thing!
Annnnnd we’re here for it!!!!
I'm beginning to think Ford mod motors should have a pin on the dipstick, so it's easy to tell it's a grenade.
I would say take some time off Go enjoy your vacation with you and your family and your girlfriend and say the hell with these junkers for the time being!
I always try to figure out what put the car in the junkyard in the first place. If the body is good I assume the motor or transmission is shot. Not 100% but makes sense to me lol. Hope the new motor is good to go
Pick up an 03/04 lincoln navigator they came with the 5.4L Dohc and a strong crank
When life gives you lemons you make a lemon pie..... pi equals MC 2.. MC2 equals e pluribus unum..
Moral of the story ? Make the most of what you got the rest will fix itself it's going to get frustrating but you handled it well and came out on top of the Heap😅
Should have swapped your 5L Mustang engine in the Crown Vic maybe with the 5 speed it came with as you already bought a new setup for your Mustang.
Manual, drift, coyote, f100… that’s it. You figured it out..
I was looking for a comment of someone telling Craig to put his f100 on the crown vic frame and then the coyote engine in it.
Your oil is pretty and sparkle 😁
A man you not going to believe it but I'm buying a motor from the salvage yard too and I don't know what to expect 😮😮😮😮😮😮
I got a 6.0 same think lol. Luckly got a 4l80e with it lol.
Well if you still got both engines you just take all the good parts and put it in the best block you got
U said u turned the motor over in the junkyard and heard metal and it didn’t sound right 🤷♂️ WTH?? Redflag!! Stop making things difficult on yourself 💯
If time and money and availability wasn't a problem I'd suggest a Australian Turbo Barra 🇦🇺
Start using that borescope before you get a engine all the way back to the shop..... And don't buy motors from cars that have no hoods and always pull the dipstick.....sorry Craig great educational video tho 👍
😳Oh Noooo!
cut open the oil filter and look for the dreaded sparkles of lost dreams before pulling
Pull original motor. Buy boss 302 rods. Install rods and enjoy a motor ready for some boost
find a 4v from a MK8!!! that would be sick
What a surprise, another junk Triton engine,im shocked it actually made enough power to tear itself up
What about taking one of the connecting rods out of the junkyard engine and put it into your vic's engine to get it running
Rember Everything happens in 3s....Now you are due to have 3 GOOD things happen! Trust me on that one!
I bought a motor recently. It turned over by hand and everything. Ended up having bad rings and smokes a ridiculous amount.
Pi to non-pi is going backwards if I heard you right. Non pi engines are way weaker. I believe most non pi engines didn't have individual coils either. They had a 4pk coil for each bank.
Wouldn’t the yard you purchased the engine from warranty it? Surely they had access to another 4.6?
Probably should've checked it at the yard. Its there for a reason
Yes!Coyote swap then pickup swap,p71's in se oklahoma 2grand,driver..
