- Previous video in the series: • Fitting the Intercoole...
In this installment I work on installing the reverse rotation water pump, the carburetor, the alternator, heater hose connections, and I attempt to install the AC compressor. Since none of this fits into a nice neat little video I decided to call this a "Final Fitting" video.
This is the part of the build that my seem less than glamorous, but it's just as important as everything else. If you don't have all these smaller systems working together, you're not going to get very far.
Anyway, I'm hoping the tips you see in this video are helpful to you not only with your project car, but also with your other projects. How effective you are often comes down to your approach, and your tools come to think of it. Either way I wish you good luck and hope that you enjoy watching my video.

Love that we get to see the "little" things. You don't get to see things like this. Usually on shows you see the motor getting lowered in, then "presto" the car is done. Thanks for showing your planning, fitting, building and frustrations.
You totally get it. Thank you!
Dr. Seymour Butts ye lets get tarded again
Well, the other side of that is that Eric doesn't have an army of interns working on the car off camera to get that "presto" effect.
Agreed it's like watching an artist mix paint and then seeing the painting it's just not the same
"bolts wont even go through your own bracket" and the following angry drilling scene had me laughing hard for some reason.
for some reason Clark Griswald from christmas vacation popped into my head. Specifically when he fixes the newel post haha
It is generally known that the first 90% of the work takes 90% of the time, while the last 10% of the work takes the other 90% of the time.
machintelligence I think your math is a little screwed up there buddy!
machintelligence LOL True that
v6 ftmfl He's just about dead on! Whatever you planed, plus 80% more. Typical.
Locas Cabras I get what you guys are saying, belive me! what I was saying is his numbers don't add up! he said the 1st 90% of the work takes 90% of the time which leaves 10% work and 10% time left! his numbers equal to 100% work and 180% time!
v6 ftmfl it takes AT LEAST 180% time
piece by piece she is getting closer to the finish line keep it up Eric👍
Honda bond is the best sealant I've ever use...it's still my first choice. Keep the vids coming
Pretty sure I'm not the only one who mentally clapped when I saw the "30:10" in the lower left of the video window. Love watching the longer videos, so much more info and learning.
I agree, the last 10% is the worst. But it's the most crucial and no way to avoid it. Doing a 97 Eagle Talon 420A non turbo build right now ( for the second time because I thought the first time I could cut corners and get away with the then current hardware.... I was dead wrong and 3k miles later, I'm where I'm at currently). Took me a while to track down the correct engine block to cylinder head dowels that would fit, ended up having to fabricate my own, but they work. In short though, I personally feel your pain, but when it's done, you're able to look at your build and tell the nay sayers, least mine is built, not bought. Plus, it's yours and no bank can take it from you. Really enjoying all of your videos Eric, some make my life tons easier. Keep up the great work!
You car is coming along so nicely. Thanks for keeping us updated.
Ive been following your build for quite a while...and i must say i love the progress.....I have herd many times the last 10-20% of a project is tough.....Chin up as we say in the uk....!!
Eric. I always enjoy your videos. Vancouver, Canada.
The clarity and no shaking of your videos i amazing great cameraman.
Brian the camera person does a GREAT JOB!!!
"Cut a little off of that heater hose."
Love watching the problem solving!
I love it. its coming along swimmingly, of course with some headaches. I cant wait until the #FairmontProject is done and your viewers watch the little baby all grown up. stay dirty my friend.
24:26 The main thing is not what happened, but how you clarify it. Profit!
I like how you immediately found what to say!
To quote my dad; "When working on cars, 90% of the time you will spend at least 3 times the amount of money and time you first planned." In my experience so far, this is very true.
very true. started chasing down a p0300 check engine light ive had for well over a year since the last time a mechanic had touched it. no diagnostic technique i know about could shed any light on it, as it was giving me p0300 and p0301/303/305 (all of bank 1) on a V6. and that same banks fuel trims where showing like -15% at idle, but normal at higher RPM. i swapped injectors around, no change. looked for vac or exhaust leaks around that cylinder bank, nada. So then the part throwing started. all new ignition components, even down to the coil packs (they were old and literally fell apart in my hand just trying to take them off, so it was time anyway). cleaned IAC. installed new fuel filter, fuel regulator, PCV, was about to drop in a new fuel pump when a buddy at work was like "sounds like the timing is off". so, i popped the top timing covers off, hand rotated the engine over till the marks lined up, and son of a bitch if the bank 1 exhaust cam (DOHC engine) wasn't off time by 1 belt tooth. Spent around 500 bucks changing parts when all i needed to do was realign the timing belt, meaning that the mechanic that had actually replaced the belt previously (less than 10k miles ago) had actually not aligned the timing right and ive been spitting fuel down into my cat for over a year now.
ive always said, if the repair seemed easy, you probably didnt fix it.
Ugh, so true... If I've learned anything over the past few years with my car, it's buy genuine parts. The aftermarket stuff just doesn't cut it.
Keep 'em coming! Love the detail you're showing in these.
Yea, but it's taking forever. It'll be a killer car when it'd done though. Always good to see you Erik. Hope you are well.
Eagerly waiting your video about #FairmontProject every week ! Thank you very much..
you are doing a great job. I guess if I was doing it for an audience I would do it the same way. But when I build a car I'm doing it behind closed doors. I do thing bass ackwards. I get it running and driving first then put the finishing touches on over time. I like instant gratification.
12 point bolts are so beautiful!
If it were me, I would do a brass 90 degree fitting on that heater hose if you could find one
My thoughts exactly
I was going to make the same comment.
Perfect
Tip for installing o-rings...don't roll them on. Slide them on and usually you need to run a flat tip, small screwdriver on the inside to "unroll" the o-ring. This does two things:
1. Keeps them on and not popping off.
2. Prevent them from pinching when installing parts on or around the o-ring.
Lots of o-ring experience in tight spaces...dairy manufacturing experience. 😁
ohhh mahgod, im so excited to see this thing moving!
Awesome progress!!!
...and this is why I don't even try this. LOL...nice job Eric.
"HO HO! I like the way those threads felt." LOL!
Just for a moment I thought we were going to get the "We have clearance, Clarence" joke.
Great video, thanks for this!
I can't count the number of times that I've stopped to help people in fords (usually f-150's) on the side of the road or stuck in a parking lot either with a dead battery, trashed starter, or their battery cables disconnected because they replaced the external solenoid for the starter and it fuses closed. I don't understand why the aftermarket ones fail so quickly or so often, but it's absolutely something I can't help but chuckle at every time.
enjoyed it Eric - the Fairmont is going to be NASTY!
Ready for three or four more! This type of detail of the travails of making your own are not appreciated or documented enough.
loving the videos cant wait to see it runing wish I colud drive it
Eric love your work bro that engine is insane turbocharged oh yeah😁👍👍
Awesome video. Thanks
Awesome job! Love your videos, Eric :)
Eric. I love your videos. We all know that the Camera man is the real hero haha. I can't wait for Part 2!
looking good.
liking the new impact
great job Eric
if that alternator bracket is like mine was then that hole you had to drill out is a steel washer "welded" on to it! lol I just cut my own bracket out of some .095" steel when I moved to a 351w
good job keep up the good work and be safe
That Hondabond will add 20hp.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ORIGINAL!
Only when the VTECH kicks in.
Eric the car guy's theme for this video is "let's clearance this shit" lol
L
Congratulations man, ive been with you for a long time, cant wait for you to rip that Fairmont, hard work pays off.
Thanks! Still so much work to do though. I've been working on it a lot lately though. I really want to get this done so I can move on to other things.
Hey boss love the vids. Aluminum is not ferrous but extremely conductive. Can still trash an alternator. Congrats on the project its gon be a hell of a sleeper
Thats a cool video to watch, thanks eric :)
That's a 3rd gen alternator and I've installed them as upgrades on several 60s vehicles. I always have to drill out the mounting eye for the 5/8ths head stud. Fun fact, it's the factory alternator from a late 90s early 00's 3.0l Taurus. Nice build.
Interesting. Thanks for the info. I might need it one day if it ever fails.
The hole size on the alternator reminds me of when I replaced the water pump on my car. Had to drill up the holes a little bit for it to fit. I used original parts bought at the dealership. Guess OEM stuff isn't always failsafe and bolt-on, lol.
10:53 "I'll have to a get a longer one. You're noticing a theme here? You might have to get more stuff. A lot."
That must have been the largest amount of innuendos in about five seconds ever ;)
1:20 I'm a big rig/trailer mech and that's all I ever use for parts trays. I've got so many of those stupid things. If I ever spill something in one, I just toss it lol.
That braided oil line will chafe anything it is in contact with. Have fun!
Keep the videos coming. The difficulty you are overcoming are inspiring. You make me so happy that I am putting the same type of engine in my project that came out of it. Every small accomplishment you have gives me hope that my project will actually roll on it's own power on day. I am subscribe and have that notifications thingy turned on 'cause I want to know what's happening, when it's happening.
I'll do my best to keep you updated. Good luck with the project.
In this episode, Eric REALLY wants his creature comforts in his strace car.
1:49 Knipex Pliers-Wrench for the win!
Hope to see the fairmont in Lexington some time.
Good progress. Wow! 46k+ views to date.
Can't wait to see you roast the tires on it!
Hey Eric , you will need oil catch cans in place of that valve cover breathers . The oil smell in cabin will be horrible without them . And oil in engine bay it's not cool . The vapors from crankcase with turbo are excessive in these windsor motors ...Will need a turbo thunderbird PCV valve too .
I'm addressing that issue in future videos. Thanks for the input.
Nice !!!!
Oh, that hardened steel Heim joint for the alt, Ive been told that Masonrybits are genius against hardened steel, dont know for sure.
I intend to try one of these days
Why would you put your carb gasket on while using a lifting plate?
It didn't come off the intake after the dyno run. I had a pretty good idea I'd have to replace it anyway.
That and it prevents scratching of the mating surface so good job Eric
*EEEEEEEEEERIC !, your doing it ....... RIGHT ! ...... continue*
O yes it's starting to come together
love these videos Eric! what a pain in the butt this stuff seems to be! us car guys are suckers for pain eh?
Last couple days I've been working on the wifey's '86 Grand Marquis, replacing the timing chain set and timing cover gaskets. I noticed the new water pump (GMB brand) is also missing the 2 center bolt holes. It's also an aluminum housing vs. cast iron of the old one - the aluminum one has structural ribs right where those bolts would go - I think this is why they eliminated them. I wasn't too crazy about that idea either, since there's now more potential for leaks there. I guess we'll both find out around the same time on that ...
I suppose we will. Thanks for the comment.
You may want to consider some high quality AN fittings and braided line for those heater hoses.
Seems overwhelming project at times Eric. Do the pulleys line up?. I was ready to go to lunch a few times through this project. I liked your attempt at Spanish 19:54. Steady hand Brian did a fine job being your wing man too. Seems like a disco installment, diss goes here, diss goes there !!! ECT, LOL. Great job Guys.
Disco installment, I like that.
Now I see why some V8 turbo guys go with a rear mount system, talk about tight!
Geez that is tedious! Great work with that alternator though! As for the A.C., Make a custom bracket for the rear mounts coming from the head. I don't know how comfortable you are with it but it would be better than going further into that water pump. It would make no sense putting it to the body as your engine will turn as you rev it. I don't see many options but then again I cant see it too well. Keep up the good work Eric!
6:47 *Eric playing My first summer car* IRL :))
This alternator is really close to turbo. Turbo gets really hot. Alternators and heat, well, I don't know. But it's really close.
could get a heat sheild for the alternator
turbo blanket
Muhamad Hairi he has a turbo blanket. you can see it in some shots
The amount of power that engine will produce ensures that the turbo wont generate that much heat. You cant floor it for 10 minutes straight, you'd be in orbit by then. So the blanket will suffice for the application.
That's why there's a blanket heat shield for the turbo.
Cameraman cameo! Yeaj!
shout out from norway! ;D
Hello Norway!
I knew it! That isn't a brake setup diaphram. It's your hat, Walter White!
Put the Alternator on the other side, you will cook the alternator from the turbo's heat ( will de-laminate the windings! )
Eric, what fuse / Circuit Breaker did you use on the main feed from the Alternator?
so great but i wonder if there are more space for the AC condenser ???
Great episode as always Eric.
What about using a 90 degree nipple on the lower output on the water pump to give more alternator clearance?
That AC compressor pulley is Multi-Ribbed, for Your Pleasure! ;)
596 horsepower, Eric make sure you put one of those hooks that go on your throttle pedal in case the throttle were ever to get stuck you would just have to rotate your foot on your heel to unstick it and maybe one of those orange t kill switches on the dash.... Just a little bit of safety!..
Nice movie car guy
Eric, fuel injected 5.0 mustangs have a steel line that runs across the intake for the heater lines that is what you need to solve the problem the short hoses in your kit are meant for that hope this helps BTW it works great on a victor Jr ask how I know
Hope you weld the beaded lip back on the charge pipe so it doesnt leak and blow off. hair spary works good for helping them stick .
It doesn't seem to be going anywhere ATM. If it does, I'll look for a new solution. BTW I'm only going to be running about 9psi max.
Will the Hondabond fit in Moog's Ford?
I just made myself dizzy
mishimoto and camera man brain to the rescue!
This is where you spend the entire day working and then someone comes by and says it looks like you didnt do anything. Then you say mean things in your head then smile.
Aluminum is non ferrous but still conductive
ford fairmont station wagon was one of my first cars.....
So exciting, a bit annoying to know she's actually further along though haha. All in good time
I'm still baffled people get annoyed by things like drilling the alternator, they must have never done a job like this, that's what it's what it's all about, modifying something to make it work for your application..
Sometimes even regular direct replacement parts need some modifications. I don't come across this often, but it happens. In a custom build, relocating stuff, etc. it has to happen.
There's only so many days in a week to post videos and I can only edit for so long before my arm starts to hurt. I'm doing everything I can to keep the public caught up with the project. It is taking longer than I expected though. Sorry about that.
This reminds me how i swapped A front wheel drive lada engine in my classic 2106 lada. Had to custom make all the coolant plumbing. after i was done the engine bay was so stuffed it resembled nothing of the easy access of the previous engine.
You did the 16 valve swap? Nice!
Well there are alot of them, in Russia at least, not so many here In Latvia, I dont know of anyone else's besides mine :D
A fellow Latvian huh?
Yep. Finally some fellow Latvian who watches ETCG. There's a video on my channel about my Lada 2106. All of the restoration process. Except the 16v swap, I did that last november.
"But this is why we fit things"
helps by dropping a handful of bolts, nuts and washers @ 1:55
hey bud, your distributor is on the wrong end of the engine :))))
probably should have went 160/170 thermostat, unless you plan on winter driving it, more leeway for timing/boost.
brass 45 or 90 for the heater hose fitting
Hey Eric, Why not thread a 90 degree fitting in place of that brass fitting or that heater hose you're having problems with? That way you can point it down and around the alternator.
old starter heat shield from the junk pile. reshape and modify to protect that alternator.
Man, wonder how many times you banged your knuckles up, dry fitting everything in such tight quarters.
Very interesting stuff..thanks
Not as much as you might think. The gloves help.
I'm a simple man: I see Eric's new video - I press "like" (c) Internet
Thank you for that.
Its the simple pleasures in life really.
Does that plug on the intake next to the distributor enter the water passage? If so, you can move the nipple from the water pump to that location.
What's most frustrating is how many things you're "not worried about at the moment" that should be taken care of as they arise. Seems like after the first 50 "not worried about at the moment" items that cause extra delay and more difficult work shortly down the line, most folks would start taking the extra little bit of time to take care of them as they come. I mean, one example: I'm not worried about moving the starter solenoid right now, maybe I'll get around to it some other day; then decides to go ahead and relocate, now working in a tight space between the turbo piping jammed in around it and the fender... Or how I assume the dyno harmonic balancer was a "meh I'll swap it later" thing, but you leave it on while trying to do fitment on the intercooler and piping right through that area? Seems like the fitment process, for me anyway, goes a lot smoother when I have all the interacting components installed, all the final install pieces not the test pieces, so that I can actually see what goes where and how they will coincide before I go through the trouble of fabricating mounts and brackets or drilling holes. I like the project, I understand the frustrations of doing custom work for sure, but SLOW DOWN and stop putting shit off until later when it's right there to solve NOW. Do it right the first time and you won't have to tear it apart and figure it out later. Also, if you're going to try to fabricate, get a damn square, and start measuring things.
aw man, the very first part you remove, and seemingly innocuous, and the gasket rips. sorry eric, was laughing pretty hard at 1:56, only because that is exactly something i would do.
After installing turbo kit, does it affect on ignition timing?
Did you do the carb modification for the fairmount aswell
