- Was asked to squeeze the Disgustang in for a new engine and put it back together. It’s back on the road and runs great. Here’s a little test drive. Here’s a little extra video time because it’s been a while since I’ve done one.
Enjoy!
Thanks for watching and please check out my merchandise store.

Installing an engine with flip flops on...I wear shoes when I'm washing dishes for fear of ripping off a toenail on the cabinet. 😃
This is my favorite Roadkill car. I’m glad David Freiburger has kept working on the Stang.
This is why I love Lucky. He does so much of the builds for motortrend. He's just great at turning wrenches and building cool $hit.
You do really great work Lucky, I am glad David continues to invest in improving the car.
Nothing sounds better than an American V8 with a cam and dual exhaust...
i'm always impressed on the short live span of every engine on roadkill
I was thinking this engine is doomed!
Cheaply aquired parts thrown together as such equals said result. And FINNEGAN doesn't know what abuse means.
@@KimiWallrus I agree, but still, how is slave lake still running and this guy's blow freshly rebuild engines all the time
@@flyingpeter
Disiels are generally alot tougher parts and alot less r.p.m.
@@gentilejoshsaved1646 yeah, but still, remember the grand Torino wagon? They managed yo blow the headgasket of the 6bt on the second pull
Fine job Lucky,you all transformed this car into something very cool !!!
Man that sounds so good. Nice work Lucky. Gauges look awesome. 👍✌
It's hard to believe that car was just sitting in a junkyard for years. I'm glad it has been given a new lease on life.
Lucky, you and Freiburger need a flip flop sponsorship deal, lol! You are a master craftsman. Love seeing your work!
That honking Cherry Picker is my new ringtone. Thank you, Mr. Costa.
Good to see you working again. Alway great work out of Lucky's Garage.
Day of leisure in your shop , love those flip flops !
I'm glad to see your resourcefulness when working alone as I work by myself often and rely on unique and safe ways to get the job done!
One thing I find cringeworthy is working in flip flops. After 25 Surgeries and a member of the missing digit club I implore you to wear composite toe tennis shoes! Yes I became a Pussy!
love the OSHA approved footwear, you & David must shop the same store. lol
You make installing an engine and driving with a manual and a camera look to easy. Great work.
I wish he had described what he was doing for 10 minutes or more adjusting the engine and shoving it back and forth in the front end.
Yay Lucky, the hardest working mechanic / designer / hot rodder on the planet!
Thank you
That motor sounds BADASS! Thanks for the great content Lucky.
awesome Work Lucky! Such a cool car brought back from the dead
I agree!
What a fun ending. I had a ‘69 and it reminded me of driving it home from high school in 1973.
My first car was a used ‘70 Mach 1 purchased when I was a senior in HS also in 1973.
I was glad to see a new upload. Love the way that car sounds when it idles. You have to work on Freiburger's car wearing sandals otherwise you're out of uniform. Hopefully when you were working on it you had my favorite Jimi Hendrix song on your playlist "All Along The Shock Tower", Real Ford music. I can't wait to see Hot Rod Garage with You and Alex Taylor.
Bookin' it brother!! You, hands down, do the best ride alongs.
I love your Chevelle and the Disgustang!
This is not just an instillation, it is artisanship. This man knows his cars. killer to watch these vids. Livin' the dream.
The footwear is Freiburger approved.
Keep up your great work and attention to small details as always I'm still learning from you and I've been wrenching for almost 50 years I'm just grouchy now.
me too 56 years but sandles? he wont be lucky for long
yea steel toes still as long as Im in a shop....
Digging the OSHA safety foot wear.... 😂
I don't see how they can stand to wear those flip-flops or sandals, whatever they are, all the time. They are bad for your feet, and give zero protection it something drops of spills on your feet.
I love Lucky's dry sense of humor.
@@dennissmith8199- They are also very hard on your knees and back.
That car brings back some fond memories. My 1st car was a 1969 Mustang with a 3 speed on the floor with the 302. I paid $400 for the car in 1976. That was my freshman year in high school. That was very similar to the color of this car.
Thanks for putting a smile on my face , good job Lucky.
I really enjoy watching Lucky work , even more when it's a car I have experience with .Great video as always and thanks for taking us along .

Very nice, love the quiet exhaust.
Less is more
Thank you for sharing. Job well done.👍👀
Nice job 👍 mustang runs really well. Thank you for sharing Lucky 🍀
Lucky, one of The best MT hosts. Knowledge, skills and great dadjokes.
👊
Just found your channel.You were always a favorite of mine and thought you should have your own show! Glad to see it, I liked and subscribed!
Thanks for the Video.... Nothing quite as satisfying as a Job Well Done......
Sounds great Lucky, you are the master!
Love those non slip mechanics boots.
Man I love that thing! Old car patina everywhere (even has a piece of tape on the steering wheel 😁) but all business in the running gear, gauges, suspension....everything that makes it a fun car to drive. Very cool!
I wonder how many times David is going to watch this 🤔 lol
Several years ago I purchased a '69 Sportsroof Mustang that was rotting out behind a guys house. He had campaigned it as a drag car for several years. It features the same paint and trim code as the Disgustang and I've followed her for that reason. I fitted mine with a 351W and AOD.
Well done , tight fit on exhaust , and man that ran smooth and surprisingly quiet. You are truly among the elite Craftsmen in your trade.
You're the man Lucky! Great idea using a ratchet strap like that to tilt the motor. Definitely be using that in the future!
Ahh yes! ole school, sandals a 4 speed fresh engine.....today is a good day!👍👍👍👍👍🤏
Nah, I don’t need to claim anything you need to learn something………..hit me up when you figure it out
Great job Lucky,,"you da man"!👍🏾👍🏾
Love Lucky hope him and Alex have great chemistry. But love her videos too.
Motor trend isn’t the same without you….Thank God you have a TH-cam channel
Lucky is still on Hot Rod Garage
@@TheDavidFreiburger Right on Dave thanks for responding!!! I grew up with Chris Thompson who owns the 68 TwinTurbo burgundy dart…. Thank you for making motor trend and all things cars cool again!!!!
@@TheDavidFreiburger- Yeah, but unfortunately the chemistry between he and Alex seems totally forced and unnatural.
I use to take my nasty 69 out to a county road here near New Waverly Tx , a trek that took you dead east for 60 miles to another sm Tx town , some rather good slower wide bank turns brought you down to 50 sometimes 40 , with a 70 mph speed limit it gave you some good seat time .Rolling farmland was a good way to spend the evening without getting a road trip feel .
Hey.....Lucky...That B.A. Ford vibrated my puter speaker off the shelf! Now I gotta mount them down!
Almost an hour of Lucky's Garage Show and Disgustang work...it's a good day to be on YT! I like the way you painted the brackets and heads to give the engine a more factory look. I'd have gone with the darker Ford Corporate Blue that was factory in 1969, but it really doesn't matter. Just my preference and it's not my car. Don't pick up a motor by the intake manifold? Huh...people have only been doing that as long as there have been V8s. Man that looks like fun, it's becoming a proper car now!
Kind of thought we might see an oil accumulator on this after the mishap at Honnigan’s shop.
Awesome billet front cover. I’ve done a few FE engines and this is clean looking and simple
Great job, made it look easy but if you ever did a engine in … not so much! Thanks for the entertainment!😎
Incredible amazing love 💕 it , keep on keeping on💰💰💰
That wagon is sweet i wanna see u n tony build sumn awesome soon
Lucky, you broke the first rule of an engine install on TH-cam; three guys and a girl standing around the engine bay yelling "Up! Down! Sideways a hair! Towards me! Diagonally to the northwest!"😂 Good to see the ol' gal on the road again! Go, Disgusting, go!! Thanks, Lucky!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
P.S; looking forward to the Roadkill Nights build as well!!
6:56 - Like how you progressed to the larger “persuasion” tool. 😊 While out on your drive, sure sounds like the years ago 302 short stroke Ford. Thanks for the ride along.
Isn't it a 351W?
Had to cancel Motortrend when they cancelled Dirt Every Day. Glad I can still get content from Lucky on TH-cam!
We love you Lucky! But damn, I'm worried about the future of HotRod Garage.
Staff changes just don't sit right. I guess time will tell. Keep up the great work!
How do you like working with Alex? Her Dad Dennis is a fabricating legend! Did you see that young lady wheel a Pro Mod recently? She is fearless.
Great job Lucky!Hope to see the Disgustang on another episode of Roadkill garage doing a couple smokey burnouts at Dulcichs HP farm.Thanks for sharing the content.
Glad to see disgustang back. Beautiful car
Good to see you lucky I'm glad you made it through it
So say I'm at a cruise night & some Dude tells me he did what I just watched you do by yourself and I'd probably be a bit skeptical , you Da Man ! When you were talking about someone only letting you know if there WAS a vibration it's the "When I'm right no one remembers , if I'm wrong no one forgets" syndrome....
In all my 35 years of working in a garage I have Never worn stupid flip flops I've always worn protective shoes or boots if you drop that alternator on your bare foot you're going to the hospital but if it drops on your protective shoe ware then mostly you will be ok you may get some bruising but no broken bones why risk it when you're a good mechanic like lucky you would think common sense would kick in but hay you see this time after time in the states it's not as if you get charged the earth for injury in hospital over in the US at least here in the UK it's free after you have paid your national insurance lol so lucky put some protective foot coverings on and save those feet from severe pain all the best from john from Rugby UK.ps another great video.
Man Lucky I wish I had a tad of your knowledge. Have a '85 Chrysler 5th ave, lean burn gone, distributor changed and now a regular carter 2 barrel. It was running and driving fine. Then like a switch. Hit they key and nothing happens anywhere. Checked lower ignition switch n good, starter relay jump and starter goes. But primary will not turn on. I am completely lost. Oh an if you turn on the rear defroster the dash comes to life. I wish you could stop by and help out a tad. Love ya man. Hot Rod garage or Garage squad or even Road kil, you rock sir.
I dig the ac lines ,very clean
Another GREAT vid ............ 👍🙂
Flip flops and heavy equipment. Seems safe 😆.
I like the footwear respect to the owner, I see why you two get along 👍
Love the Serpentine pulley kit
I enjoy driving fast every where I go just like you Hahaha lol
love the OSHA approved flip flops.
I don't know what editing software you have but it's awesome. Most videos have very rough in-car views. Yours is so steady it's like being there. 👍
I like the swivel hook on your engine hoist I don't think I've seen one quite like that before
Is it me or is watching Lucky work on cars like ASMR for gearheads?
Best comment
I cut plywood and bolted it under the gaping hole in the base of my cherry picker. All my hooks, chains, etc go in there - mostly in plastic containers with lits (peanut jars).
Header bolts I use those wrenches that have the 1/2 turn in the open end. They work so well. It’s worth the try
I remember many years ago my neighbor putting a motor in his 69 mach 1, in 1974 I was 14 ,he bolted the converter to the motor and dropped it in I told him you can't do it that way he said get lost kid. He broke the front pump and was not such a smart ass to me anymore.
Freiburger is so 'Lucky' to have you!! 🤭
Well, if I was on that end of the US I would stop by and help you out for free. It would be a great learning experience for sure!
Don't let David do burnouts until after the break-in period.
Good luck with that ;)
Put a real engine in it, ax428CJ, THOSE CARS HATE 351Ws.
This brings me back to pulling my '70 Impala 350 engine out with a forklift to change a flex plate by myself. Not as hard as lining up an input shaft into a pilot bearing.. but still a lot of 'adjusting'.
Call it the DukieStang, Dukie Brown!!!
Nice work Lucky! It sounds good
Winnerstang back and ready.
Now I know what Lucky sounds live as a chipmunk! Lol from is time lasps.
Nicely done.
Nice spending some shop time with ya!
At first, I thought the Test drive was not speeded up...and I was impressed 100mph through town! Thats my kind of shake down, Lucky must know the Cops.
38:25 "Man, it makes me want to take it out and do it again" LOL
Had wondered what had happened to it, would like to see more videos of this car!
Wow! I thought my 3rd gen F body LS swap was tight, it is a piece of cake compared to this. Always enjoy your content Lucky. Thanks
You should road trip that thing to them for their episode of roadkill!!! Also we should get you one of those air powered rams from hobo freight for your engine hoist lol.
I didn't know you had a channel Lucky, subbed!!!
Thanks for subscribing!!!
If you want to keep the rods in that new motor,,, KEEP TONY AWAY!!!
Tony isn’t with them anymore. He does have a utube channel
@@johnholm8175 HE WILL BREAK THAT TOO!! LOL
I love it brother you finally started working on something worth working on Ford power forever baby
Excellent work as always.
Looks like the passenger side radiator mount is bent or at an angle, or is that just the light?
Seems appropriate that when working on Friebergers Mustang you're wearing flip flops.
