Hey lee, do you happen to have a ls3 I could buy off a you for cheap I have a 95 Silverado my second project and I need an engine for it and what's better than a 5.7 a ls3 Soo lmk
@chadlustig I'm not talking about those, those I don't mind as much because they can easily be skipped past, I'm talking about the youtube sponsored ads. The ones you have to wait until you can skip them.
Quick tip for you. If you hold the clutch in and put the gas pedal to the floor, the car goes into “clear flood mode”. This cuts the fuel system so you can turn it over without starting. It’s a good thing to use if you’re priming the motor as well. If you have an auto car you can mash the brake pedal and gas at the same time and it will do the same thing. Works on all ford vehicles at least since 2005ish from my experience. 20:54
Dont know about manuals but pretty sure you just have to push the gas pedal all the way woth no brakes. Also i think its for drive by wire vehicles only
@@hank1556 standards won’t crank unless the clutch pedal is all the way down. Ford went to DBW in 05/06 for the most part. It’s been a while since I did it on my 06 f 150 so it probably doesn’t need the brake pedal.
@@hank1556 Unless the manual has a no clutch start override for off-roading then I'd imagine the clutch is pushed with the fuel pedal to get the circuit closed from the clutch start safety

The Hoss 302 lives on. It's a bummer, but you know it's all part of it. Hopefully not a cracked block, and just a rear main seal. Still awesome. Thanks Ray
Just bought a new to me 2012 GT/CS off a good friend of mine two days ago for dirt cheap because the Coyote has a rod knock. Thanks to this video and the first one done on this car, I know roughly what to expect and what upgrades to do while the engine is out. Thanks, Lee!
100% its the rear main seal, bad backfire will cause this. When you lost that intake cap when it blew off was the same time the rear main seal blew out. i will put money on it.
The silver and red boss 302 got hit by a North Myrtle Beach police sergeant he was drunk driving we was there it happened at mustang week 2023 he hit it in a jeep the mustang was in mint condition till that
Lee, love your channel and as a very long time supporter and as a 45 year collision shop owner/retired, I believe it’s time for you to invest in at least a used unibody frame bench and a measuring system which can be picked up used very reasonably. Yes, I can see just how talented you guys are with your forklift but your life and beloved projects. would be so much happier 😊
On a second watch I was thinking it is a good thing you changed over the dash/key/wiring… that way you keep the red key and the track tuning that ford made for the Boss 302. I have a 13 Boss and a friend just bought a used 12. His didn’t come with the red key and we have to do a bunch of things to get a new one. The red key is what makes the Boss a BOSS! Also… not sure if the Laguna Secas shocks and struts survived… but you should use those in the Hoss… the LS did have different suspension than the regular Boss. I regret I should have bought the LS suspension when I had a chance.
Lee said he has to swap over the entire electrical system…..I immediately think oh god, I’m praying for his sanity to stay intact ( hopefully it goes a lot smoother than the demon )
Yeah those boring parts that he skips are more important than what people think, you can’t just throw something together and half ass explain the build then expect people or viewers to fill in the blanks on challenges you had to overcome during the build.
I really enjoy this series because my mom had a boss and apparently loved driving it fast. She unfortunately passed when i was a very young kiddo but she lives on in my heart. Apparently she rolled her's 4 times 😆 I think she enjoyed it. One day man, one day imma get a boss to honor her.
Hoss 302 nice , I had a 1988 strawberry red mustang 5.0 5 speed back in the day , bought it brand new an had HOSS’ N placed on the windshield drove it for 3 yrs never had an issue then traded for a 1991 LX notch back crystal blue 5 speed an man I loved it , drove it 5 yrs an 230,000 miles an sold it of 5500 bucks in 96 an had few more fox bodys an now old an drive a f150 97 step side stx truck so hope y’all get oil leak fix cheap ❤the car man
the little yellow connector on the passenger side is for the curtain airbags. It runs down the A pilar only on the passenger's side and connects right under the dash. I know this because I just changed the ac blend door actuator in my f150 and remember the same plug.
This is the first of your long videos I've really watched. I enjoyed it a lot. Sorry to see you've got an oil leak that's going to require some disassembly. Unless there is a block issue, I agree with your preliminary assessment of it being the rear main seal. I hope to see a followup video on it.
Some gloss black skirts and mirrors would make it look so good, match all the nice black on it 💪🏼 just any of the bland black plastics, i did it to my BA falcon and it's literally nigĥt and day. So SO much better. as another red/black ford owner, i love the build man.
I repaired one years ago easiest way to do this. Clip it from rear to front with florist and windshield posts and it came out beautiful rather than go through all that with this trying to repair things for Clips would be the deal. Trust me on that. Good luck with it Barry. 1:13
Tech here, when you have brak fluid on anything, water works soooooo much better than just using brake clean. It's funny to say but I'm telling you it works.
Guys guys!! You should've sectioned the cars and put them together.. right behind the shifter to retain all the necessary stuff to use the shifter and also have the proper vin for the boss 302 not to mention the entire wire harness.. would've saved you soon much time and headache... In my opinion anyway
Pretty cool man, I would love to be able to take 2 or 3 cars and make one but that is a little out of my range to even attempt. Maybe one day. It was really cool to see this and the transformation.
Sounds amazing. Mustangs always do! Not the v6 lol, but across the years the v8s have a great rumble. Borla just turns things up to 11 😎 I used to have a 1996 Ford Bronco with the 5.8L and Borla exhaust. She sounded amazing
I’m a ford mechanic but don’t quote me on this but ford uses the same harness in different trim levels so that plug could be for a higher optioned mustang.
Not a fan of that front splitter at all, I personally like clean simple looks on cars and that wide part on front splitter just ruins it for me. Hope the problem with oil is a light one and u get to sort it out quick and cheap. Loved the video, looking forward to next one. Cheers
Lee, I understand the thought about getting demoralized when the key turns and you get zero. But, as you showed, there is a top down process to overcome the shock. Looking forward to the solution of the oil leak, and I hope it's only the rear seal.
That ngauge is a turning jewel hopefully it's a Lund ngauge and is still supported and probably the best coyote tuner if it's HP well you're shit out of luck and it's unsupported. That ngauge holds the performance and stock tune but also shows you every sensor and run diagnostic plus data logging for future tunes.
Absolutely love this build! Currently lookingfor engine package for my sierra this would be mint. Would love if i could get some more info from you regarding sump etc
Hey Lee, when you took a short spin. How was this oil psi? and did you smell burning oil on run up? Hopefully it's just a rear seal. Not that that's a fun job after all you went through to get to this point. Really enjoy your build, THANKS for taking us all along for the ride.
I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. There's this new invention called gloves ! You're going to find it really helpful when it comes to handling glass 😅
Best content on TH-cam hands downs and the way you present it Lee is a major reason. You and Fernando make a great team and the projects you guys put together are amazing. These rebuilds using special model's parts are particularly satisfying to see - the BO$$ 302 is a great example of that. Looking forward to seeing more of it and other such projects.
Now I wanna get one of these so bad! I test drove a green metallic tricoat 2013 Boss 302 a few years back and it was the easiest stick shift car to drive around.
Dude this guy is cool as hell man he really teaching me so much just by watching and I’m so intrigued because I love cars and I’m trying to go to school and be a mechanic 🤷♂️ This channel is 💯💯💯
Guessing the H pipe tapers down due to the side pipes. Wonder if widening might create too much negative pressure for the side pipes to function properly, or even for the setup in general
At 21:44 - i feel your pain... I have a 95 mustang GT and in the passenger kick panel area, there are 2 plugs that are the same color and interchangeable. I made the mistake of plugging them in wrong and it made some wonky issues. Once i plugged it in correctly, i marked the 2 plugs that go together.

Always wanted to do this. With the insurance rates of a 6 cylinder car. That’s a BIG WIN LEE!
Ya bc saving $12 a month really adds up
And then they pay you out for a v6 car 💀💀

Facts😂‼️😮💨
The videos this man makes are so fast paced I thought I was almost at the end of it, and it was going to be multi part. Nope, I’m only 15 minutes in.
fast paced but filled with all the important info. I love how he skips over the boring parts.

17:00 I know they're not soldered from the factory but it adds a nice little professional touch if you do it.
Honestly I’d love to watch a whole “Chrysler 300 swap” series Low key. I’d loved to see y’all’s run on a track!
Definitely worth the time and money.. I think it's AC negative you need to weld aluminum. Not all tig welders are for aluminum.
Amazed that you took 3 vehicles and made one bad ars Mustang! Stay with it and lets see it on the track!!

ScrapLifeLee you and your crew make cars remarkable.
nice hope oil leak is easy Like a goofy hose or something that's not hooked up for like an oil cooler.
Best of luck.
“These things really like to yell at you” 😂 can’t stress it enough
I repaired one years ago easiest way to do this. Clip it from rear to front with florist and windshield posts and it came out beautiful rather than go through all that with this trying to repair things for Clips would be the deal. Trust me on that. Good luck with it Barry. 1:13
Some of the text came out wrong. It should’ve said floors all the way up underneath the dash.
Always have been a big Mustang fan... It's so disheartening to see these beautiful cars totaled and wrecked like this!!!
The best line of your video that made me laugh out loud was “ Lower their property value by dragging this bucket in their shop” freaking classic
Another great vids guys, love the format of not going on month after month…. great to just binge watch a few and go from start to finish! perfect 🍺👍
Tech here, when you have brak fluid on anything, water works soooooo much better than just using brake clean. It's funny to say but I'm telling you it works.
I swear mustangs are the only ford vehicle they made this way, simple to work on and straight to the point.
Can’t wait for the 3rd installment on the Ho$$!!
Guys guys!! You should've sectioned the cars and put them together.. right behind the shifter to retain all the necessary stuff to use the shifter and also have the proper vin for the boss 302 not to mention the entire wire harness.. would've saved you soon much time and headache...

It’s turning out beautiful 🤧
Pretty cool man, I would love to be able to take 2 or 3 cars and make one but that is a little out of my range to even attempt. Maybe one day. It was really cool to see this and the transformation.
Awesome to see this getting done. I loved my 2013 5.0. Just remember this chassis can snap oversteer if you push to hard.
Day 1 of me asking for a Manual Chrysler 300 hellcat build
Great post! Agree that Ford actually did an outstanding job running the wiring harnesses! Hope the leak is just a rear main seal.
Sounds amazing. Mustangs always do! Not the v6 lol, but across the years the v8s have a great rumble. Borla just turns things up to 11 😎
I used to have a 1996 Ford Bronco with the 5.8L and Borla exhaust. She sounded amazing
That one connecter my be for your head light and running light selector you push it in turn it and pull it out and plug the plug in
I’m a ford mechanic but don’t quote me on this but ford uses the same harness in different trim levels so that plug could be for a higher optioned mustang.
good luck. hope the fix isn't too expensive. nice job so far though.

I stumbled upon your channel from my recommendations and truly appreciate your channel for 7 months now.... awesome channel
The reservoir on the white one is an aftermarket clutch reservoir. Stock the clutch supply comes from the brake fluid reservoir.
This has been one of favorite builds! Good content!
Man... This looks and sounds amazing and drives amazing too

Looking good! Hope you fix the oil issue without too much trouble! I love my 2012 Boss 302! 2012 was the best year!
Great job! I really, really enjoyed watching this transfer because it really demonstrates how possible it is for anyone to duplicate the same process.
It really is! Even with basic tools and some time
Bellissima ford mustang distrutta 😮😮😮❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Turned out to be a nice looking car.
Congratulations, you all did an awesome job with the boss 302. 👌👍
great video. Loved watching you guys doing the swap. Everyone wishes they had the space, lift and ambition to do that!
You Gus are absolutely rocking this build. 😊
I have a 2013 pw boss 302 and this was a cool series enjoyed the content
First time to channel. This is really great stuff. The kind of pacing i love in yt videos
Absolutely love this build! Currently lookingfor engine package for my sierra this would be mint. Would love if i could get some more info from you regarding sump etc
I must say Fernando did a great job on that dash board, almost brand new
Getting the shaft in place and 5 minutes of pumping. Wish I was there to give you a hand. 🤚

Totally jealous!! She looks really nice and sounds great.

Ap racing products are awesome so you got a great upgrade on that
Definitely love your channel keep us informed on the Mustang's status 😊
Do what you gotta do. I once bolted a boat winch (not electric) to the concrete in my driveway to pull the front of my car straight. ✌️

I absolutely love all of your builds and this one is no exception absolutely sick
As soon as you said “start this mf up” lol I was a subscriber. Excellent work from a fellow Lee!
Lee, you're one of the best! Keep up the good work!
Quickly becoming one of my go to channels.
As someone who loves the BOSS 302, it saddens me to see one in such a state
Good video tattoos 👏
That mustang is sick you came a long ways hopefully you guys can find that oil leak
Great to see progress. Wanna see next part so bad!!!
I really appreciate your content!
