    That 302 would be nice in the falcon. That heavy wagon needs a big block FORD!!! 460 cubic inch. I love the channel keep up the good work.

      I was thinking a FE series big block Ford like a 428 or even a 390 in the wagon.

    I had a girl friend that had a plain red one with a 4 banger in it.....we drove that car to 2ork n back for ten plus years. It had almost 400' 000 miles on the Ole Red .that's what we called it...the rust got the best of Ole red....life in upper WI...

    One of the best videos I've seen. You explain everything you do when you are working out the problems like buddies do all over the country. I learned a long time ago that if your hobby turns into frustration, it isn't a hobby or fun anymore, it's work. I see a lot of love in that ole barn/shed/shop in so many ways and all of you guys are so blessed.

    The Falcon. But I agree with another comment I read that the wagon is screaming for a big block. You guys have become my favorite channel. Watching junk get semi-resurrected just by cleaning out rust and gunk is interesting but what you do, like actually buying parts, is considerably more satisfying. My dad started teaching me when I was about 10. It’s quite the gift.

    This reminds me so much of my family and especially my children. I see the children love helping and learning responsibility around equipment and vehicles, when I seen him behind wheel backing the truck up I busted ot laughing because my children were doing the same thing at very young ages, it's taught them so much in life like backing and pulling equipment and maintaining what we drive, l love the channel it's family friendly and that's a good thing. Keep up the good work!

    i just love that you have Ralphie helping you on these jobs. Even if he grows up to do something completely unrelated, he will be able to do so much of his own maintenance on many things besides just cars. This gives him a lot of basic mechanical knowledge that will "do him good" in life. I think this is the first time I have seen someone put the car ON the engine rather than put the engine IN the car, since the lift wouldn't roll. cant you just rebuild the hydraulics in that lift jack?

    Springs back memories when I was his age me and my dad and the shop working on Mom and Dad's circle track race cars pulling motors or transmissions or dad just in there working on doing the setup work on them or whatever from 5:00 at night until 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning on the weekends or sitting up at other people's shops helping them or watching them work on the cars with my dad and falling asleep in like a stack of tires or something lol or playing with parts or disassembling old blown motors to learn how a engine works. Love your videos and this one brings back memories of me and my dad building racecars having the wood burning stove going in Canada in the shop on a cold snowy Saturday night building two cars for following season. Lol a big block Chevy in a fix body car is a awesome site. True meaning of hot rod put biggest motor you can in a small light weight car true hot rod build

    the 302 would have its best application in the falcon...the galaxie needs a big cube thumper. I might not have heard some things you said relative to the difficulty with the engine hoist jack but it looked to me like it needs to have the fluid drained and then bled to be sure air is out of the system. From what I saw it has all the symptoms of air in the hydraulic system but you might also have some contaminants in the fluid.

    Another car that many folks don't know is a Fox Chassis car is the 84-92 Lincoln Mark VII. They all came equipped with a 5.0HO/AOD/8.8 driveline. They are a bit heavy for drag racing, but make a great, fun sleeper street car. The best part is that most of the Mustang GT go-fast goodies are direct bolt on. I've had 3, including one with a T5 swap that was a blast to drive.

    The 5 Litre and T5 would be nice in the Falcon. You might can use the exhaust from the fairmont for the Falcon. The only thing you’ll need is a 8.8 differential and you’re set.
    On the Fairmont from looks of your camera a stock bbc oil pan should work. These days you build with what you can find and make it work. Doesn’t bother me putting a BBC In a ford. On TH-cam I’ve seen ls swapped in mustangs. I’ve had a Big block MOPAR in a ford wagon.
    I love swaps of anything different from the normal. Here’s one for you Uncle Tony’s Garage swap a slant 6 in a Mazda Miata. I never would have thought of that happened.
