You find out who your REAL friends are when you go thru something like this. When YOU help out your friends, you come full circle. I can honestly say helping my friends get back running is as gratifying as getting my own. Thanks, Craig
Craig! There is a reason engine builds should not be rushed. Preferably with a "second pair of eyes" looking over each phase of the build. Top fuel teams do this. They can tear down and rebuild an engine, but often they complete a phase then rotate. The next guy looks over the previous work, then continues. Engine building, and engine assembling are NOT the same thing. You have your friends who support you, it doesn't take too long to have one of them check things. A fresh pair of eyes can often catch something you may have been "seeing " for an hour or two. JS
YES!!!!100% I got ADHD and some short term memory issues and I always have to triple check my own work when I’m doing things alone, I found that things get done properly and faster if I got a 2nd pair of eyes on what I’m doing. Also…He noticed that the pushrods were a bit short…He needed a 2nd opinion on running on those…a voice of reason so to speak.
@@BlackTownie999 Agreed, valve train geometry is not just for power, poor valvetrain geometry wears valve guides prematurely. If the springs are not matched to the cam, valve float causes damage to the valve stems. You can put together an engine on paper, buy all the parts, BUT pushrods should be the last purchase. Even a variation in head gasket thickness, with MLS gaskets, can throw off geometry. I've seen guys build big expensive engines, then play with different thicknesses to get the compression ratio they want. But that should all be done in the paper phase, before checking the length of pushrod they need.
Well sir gotta love learning how to do things the hard way. The GT40p heads have a tiny bit longer pushrods than the stock 302 heads. Not to expensive and will save you a lot of time and headaches And remember Professor Speed says "Racecar spelled backwards is still Racecar" 👍😎
Amen to the message at the end of the video, I’m 18, last week my 1979 Ford F-150 blew its 460, pulled the clip pulled the motor, no hate I just want to daily it so sourced an LS to build NA carb stroker it’s getting do e this month, give deadline to your self and be viscous to knock them out, it takes those 3 am nights and bloodshot days at work, your project deserves it
I have a fox body thunderbird with the 302 sitting at a family member's house. Ive already learned a lot about it just by watching your videos, and I can't wait until I can finally go get it to start reviving it!
I love the statement of “work ethic” . That is so true, there is not a lot of people that have that. You will help me finally get my 1970 dodge superbee and make it a reality. Keep the great content coming.
Sometimes it’s not how you start but how you finish. You remained calm and took care of it soldiered on to the show. Great job. What are you taking in school?
If everything was perfect, I wouldn't be a new sub just having fun watching the mayhem😂. I really enjoy the breakdowns on the side of the road, the clutch getting stuck, the antifreeze making a mess, and the stripper glitter in the oil. I'll be here for all the blown engines and rebuilds. 😂😅
Awesome dude! Its the reality of turning wrenches, you want it to be what you envisioned you have to go out and make it happen. Then once its "done" then you get to flush it out. I'm still doing minor suspension tweaks on my truck and some future custom air intake mods I'm designing up to 3D print. Seeing what other parts need replacing, fixing, making it better etc
The boomers don’t seem to understand, but Craig literally knew every issue with this motor by the time he had it together. Couple things were found out in the process, but he put it together because he can just fix it later and he made it to the venue as was the goal.
@@brandonknight7240 We watch the videos of his work, Brandon. Craig knows enough when a problem pops up during assembly. But that dosen't stop him from bulling on ahead and not fixing the problem that he encountered. Bad assembly habits and cutting corners, like he is doing, is a expensive and time consuming thing, as his f100 engine is proof of. If you are going to smoke 3-5 thousand dollars on a engine, you need to learn from your mistakes, so it dosen't happen again He doesn't seem to be learning anything. Because he is still cutting corners and hoping for the best. Which, I might add, generally doesn't work out.
Idling, it is your IAC fighting your idle screw. KOEO unplug IAC, back off your idle screw and set your TPS to .99 volts . Turn key off plug IAC back in, then start
@@Adrianzx no he ignores the comments always has ive been asking for updates on projects from years ago and he never answers hes got too much going on in life i guess
You are learning the hard way, first sign of trouble.... shut the fnkin thing down.... dont start it until you know wtf happened. Cars always sh1t themselves.. its what you do immediately following the noise that counts. You did well in the end. Good effort.
At 16:00 start up, your idle is acting that way because your idle control valve needs replaced… you can try cleaning it but it’s cheap enough to get a new one to get a new idle :)
@@BlackTownie999 I have another parts truck ranger, with the same 3.0 v6. Keeping it simple, because my actual daily blew the transmission and I have the parts to get the ranger up and running
I feel a lot of the guys criticizing Craig for jamming the thing back together while knowing some stuff isn’t perfect, are the same type of guys that will have some sort of failure on their own vehicle and then that’s it, it sits for months or maybe even years before they make it “perfect”. I think David Freiburger said it best when he said, “Don’t get it right, get it running”. Obviously I don’t mean that Craig should leave all the problems unattended, but hell I find it weird that a lot of you guys don’t have that fuck it we ride mentality when it comes to making a deadline/event.
Rad - loved the last 5:00. Perfect message to share. I went through the windowed block thing only to mope around and have it sit for a year for no legitimate reason other than to be a bitch and piss and moan about it. Get into it, tear it apart and learn along the way. You'll be that much further ahead. Great episode - keep it up man.
I know where there is a 1964 galaxy wagon, it has been sitting since i moved here. Not sure on condition but body looks good. It is hidden so unless you know where to look it is not seen. If interested let me know. Colorado is a fairly dry state so cars rust very slow.
back in the 90's when i was stationed in camp pendleton in ocean side i had a 93 gt with that teal green and silver bottom sitten on chrome ponies i found out about you threw terra crew keep the fox bodies alive bro ur aewrsome
he does a good job building his engine its his right foot and lack of thinking that breaks them his f100 engine broke because he didnt adjust the carb got ahead of himself and went and beat the snot out of it cuz it sounded cool this one broke because instead of waiting for the right parts he rushed it together and then didnt even drive it decent your right he does need to slow down once hes out of college he needs to plan his builds in advance and then do them like this engine before he rebuilt it he ignored the problem with it for a long time till he couldnt no more
I switched the engine out in my 65 mustang gt in an hour and a half one time and drove it away. I blew up several engines in that car and got really good at it.
You took the time to do Brand new machine work & everything. #1 mistake was re using old parts… already had it completely apart should’ve just took the time to make it right
Look at his video content. Car shows are cheap content to produce. His money is going to other things. Probably the f100 motor. How much are custom billet pistons? Which he has ordered, by the way. Just the pistons? $1,500? $1,600? or more for the set? Then connecting rods, wrist pins, rings and then let's not forget the forged-steel crankshaft necessary to spin the engine to his desired 8,000 rpm and hold together. That 8,000 rpm engine for his f100 is a expensive build. So, he cuts corners.
Nice fox , color , an rims are perfect , put a 5.0 badge are 302 badge on both fenders an a badge on rear hatch above tailgate , an put a fire e in car cause it'll such it a fire broke ou t an u can't do nothing but watch..
rebuilding a Engine too fast is asking for mistakes to happen, the smallist things lie say Valve adjusting can kill a fresh rebuild. I bent push rods for this same reasson, lmao. I run my 289/ 306 arond 13.5 ARF at cruise & 12.5ish @ WOT. is the Cam your running a solid Lift Cam?
Hey brother dying and then not starting unless you let it cool off for a few minutes can be a fuel pump relay problem it’s underneath the driver seat. It happened to me on the way to work. It was an hour long drive normally for city traffic my boss listened to the radio and knew everywhere I died because of the traffic report. I couldn’t get 5 miles before the relay would overheat and crap out and I couldn’t figure out what it was until I got to work where I could hear the fuel pump not running
i know that upper intake thats a mack cold air intake o had that i had a holly system max upper intale vortec with a 20lb. pulley f303 cam and ford motor sport 1.6 rockers and 3 chamber flow and mack pro chamber and 355 gears and eibach progressive rate springs i also had a saleen tail and a saleen strut tower brace pro 50 shifter and a bob hanlon T5 all these parts are 90's parts old school bro lol
I’m not saying I’ve never made mistakes when building cars, but one thing I’ve learned is if you don’t do it right the first time, you will regret it. Like other said you took the time to do the machine work, why would you cut corners and use old parts?

Send Craig the 15-20 thousand dollars to do it and Iam sure he would give it a go.
It would make great content for his channel.
Need to have it tuned. Rebuilding the engine and going 20 over makes a change.
