The time has finally come for us to finish up the 89 Thunderbird Super Coupe project that I guess now is a Turbo Coupe. I have owned this car for about 3 years, it was totally stock 3.8 V6 with a Eaton M90 supercharger and a 5 speed when I bought it. If you haven't seen the other videos it now has a .550 lift 218 duration 114 lsa billet roller cam, Pac 1218 valve springs with comp retainers, home ported 97 F150 split port heads and lower intake that has had the baffles removed to it is running on both ports all the time, gt35 ebay cheap $135 Turbocharger, and 44mm ebay wastegate. It is running a Holley Terminator X computer with LS coils and injectors I will put part numbers below. We are hoping to make between 500-600 horsepower at the crank once we upgrade the fuel system. Hope you like it I know the kids enjoyed the donuts and burnouts.
Part numbers to everything we used:
558-321 LS coil harness
82658 MSD LS coils
558-410 crank/cam sensor harness
8216 MSD coil brackets
567-102 Metropack crimping tool
509 Waytek crimping tool
558-117 Universal MPFI main harness

Hi guys 😊😊😇😇🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know a girl that waited 3 hours broke down on the side of the road thinking her triple AAA stick had sensors to automatic notify them. Lol This was in early 2000.
I want to install a Supercharged 5.0 in the T-Bird, it's much easier than you actual think. 👨🏻🔧
I downloaded Upside app found some good gas prices nearby thank you
@@KeepNitReal1980 is
Fun watching Wawa’s face every time you got on the fuel her face lit up and a BIG SMILE.
No pops smiling
@@ericcapes7286 yes I knew he would be smiling!!!! The look on her face was priceless!!! Eyebrows would raise eyes would get big then the ear to ear smile on her face .
Can you blame her 😂😂😂
Acceleration is addictive 😂😂😂
I used to HATE MONDAYS!!!!! But now, by the grace of God, we have Sleeperdude!!!!! Not to mention, "Sleeperdudette", and the "Mini-Sleeperdude" & "Mini-Sleeperdudettes"!!!! PLUS, as an added attraction, the "Sleepergoats" & "Sleeper-goatettes"!!!!!!! (Is that even a thing?) Well, if it wasn't, it is now!!!! Thank you and yours for everything that you do!!!!!!
Thanks for watching
Mondays still suck buttttt it does take most of the suck away having a good sleeperdude vidya to watch
He made mondays great again!!!
Good point, Mondays rock.
I deff look forward to the notifications I get when there is new content as well. Gives me something to look forward to after work in my quiet time after wife and kids go to bed. I could only wish my wife was as cool as his. She's barely smart enough to put gas in her car. 😆
Josh you are a mechanical genius! How you can take anything and fabricate it into exactly what you need is so rare today. Your talents never cease to amaze me. Such a really cool build. The kids are going to be a chip off the old block, as they seem to enjoy it as much as you do. What a great video!
AMEN to that
This is what kids and adults need alike, learn how to do work with hands. Learn how to take things apart, see how they work, then put together with no extra parts. doing this seems repetitive, but I started early and was fixing Autos, semis, Heavy Equipment, tools, doing plumbing, roofing, electrical etc. Things that we need to know as adults when our auto, home etc needs parts replaced or maintained.
With money being so slippery save it by doing own repairs and maintaince. You'll be surprised how much it saves, how much is learned and how much fun you'll have knowing you can do work the right way and it's right. Never know where it can lead. College is so expensive. If being a lawyer, Dr etc ok that's a wise investment. But a blue collar trade will pay VERY WELL and you won't be in debt thousands. If your single go make that oil and gas money. If not do construction, truck driving, Postal service, etc. Any gov job pays well, health insurance is great and you can move wherever and have work. Best feeling was seeing all the kids leaving for college and then 2 years later they working at Block buster, no degree still and I'm making 3-5 grand a month easy.
Rich ppl go to college, poor go to work. Then that work will teach you so much and you can have own home, car etc and maybe get into real estate, start own business etc. Never know where doing new work will take you in life.
I showed my wife the Ralphie corvette video. Only one she saw. Today she text me and said she "stopped to put some wind in the casings." Well done Josh and fam
That’s absolutely hilarious love it
Your style of editing perfectly matches my incredibly short attention span to the point it makes me laugh. Absolutely love your content and your enthusiasm in conquering any vehicle you get your hands on.
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
I’m exactly with ya man!
I agree
Love the build Josh !
So many channels are throwing huge amounts of money and super expensive parts at builds and I think only you and a handful of people like puddin and mortski actually do builds on a budget that most of us can relate to.
Looking forward to the next one God bless you and the fam Josh
Another couple of buget builders are Cold War Motors and Weird Beard.
Sir Sleeperdude, I appreciate the fun with engines, and really appreciate letting us in on your family time. All around red, white and blue FUN !!!
Rocky, Mom, Wawa, Squeezy, and Ralphie have one cool 😎 Dad .
Awesome 👌
I totally agree with tosh on this one Josh is a real genius when it comes to this type of work he really is very smart no educated on the working of vehicles . One smart dude absolutely love watching you alls videos please keep them coming
Thank you
The SC is coming along nicely. Being able to piece this together from multiple vehicles is amazing. Great job Josh and fam! Love the vids! Keep ‘em coming
Yes for sure thank you
Wawa facial expressions tell exactly what she is thinking I love it.
Yeah she can’t hide her feelings
You, sir, are a true hot rodder! Really admire your ambition, multi-craft skills, and persistence. Great job on the turbo ‘adaptation’ (it much more than a simple ‘install’).
Thank you very much!
My favorite youtube family 😍
I love you guys !
Josh we need a part 2 of the corvette !
Ever sinds the last episode i'am hooked !
Awesome
Lol same
THAT is an array of intensive engine modifications...you did very well. Impressive build.
I've always loved this body style.
Thank you
Teaching the kids to weld. Are you trying to get us all to cry with joy.
I like how ROCKY(the goat) gets his moments in front of the camera 😆
Yes for sure
Always have to get Rocky's confirmation on modifications. 😍
When you dropped a gear and disappeared, when you put it into second and hit 8 pounds of boost both of your kids slowly crept a smile on their face at the same time. It's everybody's reaction to boost and it was amazing! I'm not really a ford person but I've always loved the fox body mustang. But I think now I have a new favorite ford car. I knew ford made those thunderbird but I didn't know that those were rear wheel drive or that they made a super charged version.
Yes for sure
I love watching Ralphie's hair blow around when he's sitting in the back seat on that last test drive!! LOL
That’s funny
SleeperDude for president!!!rocky for Vice President 👏🏽
That’s great
Awesome, family friendly show. We truly enjoy watching your adventures.. thank y'all
Squeezy the garage ninja. She's gone like the divine wind.
Yes!!
Last comment… Think of how GENIUS you children will be for the next generation. Keep Up The Good Work and God Bless!
I hope so
My '89 Supercoupe honked its horn from the garage a few minutes ago to remind me this video was up. I suspect it was a bit jealous of yours, (with good reason!) but in the end, SC's stick together! My goodness...Fantastical work Josh!
I just started watching your videos and I'm loving them! You definitely have some pretty awesome skills but more importantly you are a great family man and you have a great partner in life with some good kids and most importantly, a faith in the Lord that drives your lives. Thanks for the great content! I forgot to mention the goats are awesome along with the other barnyard buddies.
Thank you
Great to see Josh you still make time for the wee one, while working
Yes for sure
When the wife complains about my garage, I show her yours. Thank you!
🤣🤣
Great video, been looking forward to seeing Thunderbird driving again. Love the sound of the Turbo. Turbo doesn't sound as cool as maverick, but still love it.. That holly software is really cool.
Yes for sure thank you
I have been DYING to do this exact same thing for years since I had my old 1990 SC 5 speed in the same color with the same red leather interior. Needless to say I've been dying to see this vidya.
Awesome glad you liked it
@@Sleeperdude I really enjoyed it. I have a 1997 Honda Civic coupe that has a fully built 1.8L DOHC VTEC engine with a Garrett GTS3582 turbo running 30 psi on E85 and it makes 709 horsepower at the wheels. It has cams, a fully built head, forged everything, all ARP hardware and head and main studs, I've been building it since 2014, so believe me, I know ALL about custom fabricating all kinds of parts to make things work. I also built a 2001 Honda Accord with a 3.2L Honda V6 with a big turbo and a six speed manual swap and it made 502 wheel horsepower at 10 psi. Almost every part in that car was custom made by me. I taught myself how to weld with a flux-core welder that I got for $75 from my neighbor. Now I have a Lincoln gas MIG welder and my welds have gotten much better. Also, I've never really heard of anyone trying to push over 500 whp out of the 3.8 OHV Cologne engine, but I'd imagine you'd need forged rods and pistons to support that power level. My 3.2L V6 that I turbocharged in my Accord broke a ringland at 10 psi making 502 whp on 93 octane, but the E85 will DEFINITELY help keep your knock down. Edit: I meant to say that 600 whp would most likely need rods and pistons to support that power level. On E85 it should make 500 HP fairly easily given the right tune.
@@Sleeperdude Also, I didn't realize that car had beige cloth interior. Mine was all read carpets and red leather with the computer in the dash.
The smiles on the faces says it all
Think it is absolutely great that you are teaching your girls to use tools and allowing them to realize that they are very capable. I taught my daughter the same thing and she now as an adult has renovated her own house and made repairs to her car. The patients you show with those goats is amazing. Your abilities are truly impressive. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.👍👍🇨🇦
You all have done a great job on that T-bird. You need to fill the gas tank with fresh fuel, or the throttle control and all the settings will not be seeing things steady like it will with stable fuel. The left quarter panel looks darker then the rest of the car.. the car is nice and with a few things cleaned up, you have a great car. Thanks and look forward to every video on the channel.
I've learned more about car repairs in the last year watching your creative methods then in my previous 75 years.
I love your family and they way you "ease" them into learning!
Nice to see wa wa participating more! Great job welding! Great episode!
Thank you
The cars are fun and kinda cool, but the real draw to this channel is watching this family interact and enjoy one another. The other reason is to catch Josh and his one liners which are second to none! Well, that and the crocs. Can't forget the crocs!!
Thank you so much
Sweet looking car good job you have so much common sense and talent very impressed love watching you guys
One thing I've noticed with all of these really successful youtube mechanics such as sleeperdude... they are all REALLY REALLY smart and extremely talented mechanics with solid understanding of all things mechanical. Sleeperdude... you learning the app like this and understanding the fuel, timing, etc systems so thoroughly is just amazing to watch.
Thank you
Love how the whole family is invested in this . One of the fast growing channels I watch.
I absolutely love your videos like this. All your content is great, but watching you engineer solutions to problems is so much fun.
Thank you I’m glad you liked it
Such an awesome project you did. A lot of enginuity in this one. Ran great for just basic tuning. Can't wait to see what you can really do for it. So nice to see you getting a major project finished. So many great ones your working on. I can see your excitement on this one for sure!
Josh seeing your face light up, setting the timing on that new Holly program, PRICELESS
Hey RALPHY...BETTER WATCH OUT WITH YOUR CORVETTE BECAUSE DADDY'S GOT A TURBO BIRD!! THANKS 👍 GUY'S..REALLY ENJOYED 😉
That’s right thank you
Great video as always, love the balance between car and Family stuff. Love the laugh out loud by Tosh and the kids. Your doing a great job very entertaining and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing
God Bless
Absolutely love all the cars you have & the family joining in on all the fun. Keep it up & god bless
I love the faces that Wawa makes when she's riding in the car. She looks like she's really enjoying every minute of it. You go girl!!!
Thank you
I think every home garage Mechanic should have a couple of Goats, Pot Bellied Pig and a Doggie to help out with the mechanics!
You guys are awesome. I wish y’all nothing but the best and success on all your projects, especially ralphie’s C4;)
G'day mate 🤙🏼 Awesome video and great work on getting the turbo up and running, the turbo spooling up sounds great! Excellent work, cheers buddy!
🍻 🇦🇺
Thank you
You totally amaze me at the way that you are able to use other parts not intended and “make them if”! Also you have every tool available to do the job right. Especially drill bits that actually drill through whatever without hesitation. When ever I drill something my drill bits are always dull (even though I sharpen and or replace) and I drill and drill and drill 😮 … great video.
These videos you create just get better and BETTER !!!
Thank you
being a ford 3.8 hopefully the headgaskets hold, especially with boost
I've been a fan of the TBird SC since we first met them. They were pretty fast in their day.
Yea love them
Always a beautiful sight to see, Father and son working...
I def dig your creativity and originalaty and making stuff custom...def seperates the parts throwers from the modifiers and make everything you own design....im the same way
I like your originality on the word "originalaty" ......You can hear the twang in the spelling🤣
@@hoost3056 😆 that's right....originallllity 😄
Another great video. The editing is so well done! The breaks from family and back to project really keep the videos so interesting. All the fur babies are a big bonus too.
Thank you
the smile on the kids faces on the road test is classic and so sweet
Awesome
I bought one of these thunderbird super coupe supercharged cheap about 12 years back and loved it, but I gave it up for a niece of mine for her first car, and I ended up on the short end of that stick and never seen the car again. Super fun cars and wish I would have had more fun with it and gave up something else
I think it needs to have a full muffled exhaust for it to live up to being a sleeper.
I hope you get something to go on another vacation. Maybe you'll have enough money soon to buy a "NEW" RV...don't hurt to dream... You are the best dad, husband, and just "GREAT FAMILY MAN" ! ! ! I just love watching you get things done, with your family involved. Josh, you're just wonderful in each and every way. Mom, you're a great loving mother too. bye and God Bless you and your beautiful family, from Waianae, Hawaii..."love ya".
Thank you
You folks look like the happiest family and ( goats) on TH-cam.
Awesome
Hopefully the Malibu will be a racecar one of these days the thunder birds are still awesome to see on the track
LOL ! I thought you had video clips of different days from Ralphie having different shirts on. 😁
The smile on WaWas and Ralphies face when the boost kicked in.. priceless :)
I really like this Thunderbird. The name says it all. My kinda ride.😊
Yes!!!
I swear your like a mechanical genius. I'm amazed watching you fix these cars. Building pieces modifying parts, coming up with solutions to every problem. It amazes me even more how the wife and kids take an interest in it too. Its so nice to see a family spending quality time together being productive doing something they enjoy.
Ralphie hair in backseat....priceless. keep it up
Thank you
The smile on Wawa's face, everything you got on it, and pushed ya'll back in the seats, was... priceless!
Love it
Thank you
Smile on your children's faces priceless 😁😁😁😁💟
Thank you
Josh that video definitely gave me a boost never mind the car 😂 so much fun and always enjoyable to watch , nothing wrong with Redneck mechanics 👌🏻 it works and even I’m amazed you connected all those pipes / hoses / wires in the right places, well done 👍🏻.
Thank you
“Wind in the Casings, that would make a great tshirt or hoodie.😎
Yes 👍
Damn, the turbo coupe runs great!
was i the only one to pause this an see what the finger cleaner was?? omg cudnt stop laughing...even laughed coffee out me nose....🤣🤣🤣
It’s great isn’t it
You too, huh? 🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing with us your family. Your children are amazing, it's a big reflection on how well you've raised them with love, kindness and patience and the right kind of discipline. ❤
Thank you
Found your channel while recovering from surgery. Now back to work, you make my Mondays bearable. It's awesome seeing Wawa welding and enjoying the fast ride. Mom and Wawa, beautiful ladies who aren't afraid of getting their hands dirty.
Yes for sure thank you
Ralphy has me looking into old cars again. Thanks buddy. Love you all. ❤️❤️❤️
That’s awesome I’m glad you like it
Awesome video by my friend Josh 😎👍
Thank you
Love the build. Super cool. Cool family. Makes me want kids and you custom built all that. Amazing.
Love wawa's facial expressions when she riding with dad.
She does make a lot of faces
I think it is great how the whole family gets involved, including the animals. Josh you are a lucky chap
There's the joy of the donut in your own front yard! Yahoo!
Exactly
Your now reaping the fruits of your labor. Great morning to you all Sleeperdude
Yes I am blessed
WoW! I love the thunder chicken reminds me of Bill Elliott back in the day, when he was in The Winning Circle. Love the moves on that car
Just picked up a 1990 Super coupe with sunroof option.. has 79k original miles sweet car man
I think the kids did better welding then whoever welded the wastegate flange...lol
I am so glad you decided to do You Tube full time. Really enjoy your videos
Thank you
I had a SC. So much fun!
WahWah is a hotrodder at heart.
She was grinnin' like a possum every time the boost kicked in.
Love your channel.
Regards,
Duck
Thank you
Another great video! Your "McGyver" skills are Awesome. The "Rockford" is actually called a "J Turn". I used to teach people how to do that.
I’ve never said YAY as loud as I did when I noticed the new video!
That’s awesome
@ 11:40
" I don't know what that means?" lol, I was thinking the same thing!
You name one of the Rocky Jr’s, Spanky. My family voted it down for our dog.
I’m liking this engine build Josh. When you fine tune it this bird 🦅 will definitely fly. You have a can do attitude and work with what you have you have my respect. May Y’all have a Blessed One Sir.
Thank you
I am just amazed that everyone in the family helps with the builds. Seeing Tosh under the car was pure gold. Tosh to Squeezy: "Are you supposed to be doing that?" Squeezy "No..... but that's the fun of it" with big cheesy grin 🤣🤣.
It's great seeing WahWah & Ralphie having a go at welding. The more all your kids learn to do the better equipped they will be to live in the real world. Practical experiences leads to improved problem solving and innovation skills. Keep doing what you are doing with your family Josh & Tosh, it clearly is a success.
i agree doing things your not supposed to is what i live for LOL
Dude! You are EXACTLY like my Grandfather ( who raised me) who also was a mechanic! Had a 12 stall garage/ business! He saved everything! Although that was 40 years ago! You are old school! Love it! Colorado
Thunderbird would be awesome fully restored.
Yes
Love you putting part numbers. My wife loved going to junk yard when we were younger. She wrenched the parts out loved it
this is insane! I can't believe how DIY you are, combined with your knowledge.... just excellent to watch!
Thank you
Cant beat it a Monday night with sleeperdude and family care sounds really nice yoga pants am with u there 😀 😄 staybsafe guys
