วีดีโอ

Thanks for the “shoutout” in the vid. I’m the guy with the orange 300. I’m William from Southern Illinois and we’ll be back next year. Hope to see yours next year.

The next car is going to be a Decia Sandero

Better do it right then cry laitor that it locked up down the block

Those older jeeps are work horses, always ready to go

What a great video....awesome man

My 2000 v6 mustang faster than that without nitrous kit lol😂 just simple cheap mods like windstar intake swap coil packs headers duel exhaust 8:8 rear diff not welded I’m doing smokeouts not burnouts lol😂😂

Best intro LOL

The Banana 1970 Charger was the best!

Lol not bad for a v6 😂

I’m late to the party, found your video because I am dealing with the same issue on my LM7 build. Luckily I am putting in my cam first, did you end up replacing the cam bearing or did you fix it in another way. Curious, if I can pull it out to seat it differently or if the bearing itself needs to be changed again. Thanks for the great content. Glad to know I’m not alone.

I use the lever even though it is automatic along with the overdrive disabled it gives you better times, I do 6.5 seconds from 0 to 60, yes, it is V6, if you drive with overdrive activated like you obviously you will get bad times

How the fans?

Awesome video, I can't wait to film this beast live. Its come a long way from the V6.

I usually just let them soak overnight

ya gotta check out Mustang v6 Tech Supports channel on youtube.

Probably not a good angle and alot of singing like a sailor 😂😂😂. Anyways great content. I def subscribed and looking forward to what ur plans are for this motor and more videos to come. Anyways much love from Maryland❤❤❤.

That was an excellent test comparison. Well done.

Hey, did you know its going to rain?

3:48 pat attention to that guys, your crank won't spin 😂

I swear I have this exact car in my garage looks like it was rattle canned and 15 front end swapped

Drove all the way to Mexico just to completely annihilate that poor microphone on the back😂

On the cam retainer plate did you use any kind of rtv or silicone on the back side around the gasket? My oem seems to have some that I had to scrape off

Great video ! What route did you do for the cooling system .

That’s a decent amount of assembly lube if you’re running .250 clearance on the mains. If you were running .0025-.0035, all that lube squeezed out of the sides.

Hell yea brother, lets get to some racetracks this year!

😂😅 I'm a loser.😄😅🤣

I have those seats bought the Kirkey low profile seat mounts for them and made it much better.

Hey brother, is this block painted Ford Corporate Blue? I like that color.

So I don’t know, I’m watching you measure the bearing with the bore gauge and that’s great but I grew up putting mopars and chevys together and I was always of the understanding that you tighten the bearings in the rod once and never twice. We would measure clearance by deflecting the rod or tilting it and getting an angle to let us mathematically figure the assembled clearance. If you tighten the bearing in twice you could cause it to be spun later. I have also built engine using the double bearing set method, crush the first new set and then measure, discard and then put in the second set for race, no spun bearings this way. Of course your way may be just fine too.

Did you have any issues with starter clearance once installed?

I didn't see the thrust get set and there was no mention of the most vital part when going to studs, maybe the machine shop checked, align honed and set the clearances. If so I would throw a mention in the video to educate others, when going to studs from bolts it distorts the main bores enough to throw clearances out of spec. Good luck with the build/car, the performance world is a huge addiction.

Great conversation brother. Even tho it was one sided. I enjoyed it lol..

I love that blue!!!

Nice thanks👌🏽

Finally doing mine this weekend. Getting it in the car. Your videos have been very helpful.

So where the cam bearings already bad or did they mess up or get banged during install?

Duuuuude, that cam bearing! What a kick in the nuts when the short block is basically together. Glad you were able to get it figured out and fixed.

4r70w and rods are screaming in pain

Well shoot I was gonna make a TH-cam channel named this but It would be off-road only

Those 3.8s are really restricted the one i had in high school, we did a Ford windstar, air intake swap, headers and that gained like 30hp lol iwouldve loved to have turbo or supercharged it, but got a gt instead.

You didn't mention it, but the sparkplug gaps are suppose to be closed up some starting with the 100 shot pull maybe even with the 75 shot consideringits a v6. Great vid though!

Time for the LS great video

I really like the video am at point to do so so again thank you 🙏

love the videos! do you happen to know if youd have to remove both if you were wanting to go for a t56 later in the future?

Great content , I'm gonna go check mine , still in the box , just got them .

I guess you already know that first gasket is up side down when I put mine together I didn't catch it until it was in, running and overheating. That was a pain

Glad to have helped!

Friendly tip use the water pump bolts as cam handles - they screw right in.

Don't soak lifters. Waste of time.

So no prelube on the back or the front of the cam plate ? You have probably only built a few ls motors where I have built hundreds of them. Never put loctite on one camplate bolt and never had one come loose because I do the job,not the locrite.
