"...exhaust that is required..." That's where you're wrong, Kevin. You know what exhaust system fits every IRS made? Open headers. Also, SVT SNEK is a great license plate.
There are a number of reasons not to go with open headers. For one, they aren't legal on road vehicles. Secondly emission laws vary from state to state. Some states like KS or TN have no state emissions. Other states like CA prohibit any kind of emissions exemptions on ANY vehicle newer than a '75. Thirdly, carbon monoxide KILLS. It's why road cars have catalytic converters so drivers don't kill themselves via carbon monoxide poisoning.
@Budd Smokegood Maybe on a track car. I use my car on the street, and I prefer not to go deaf in my car ... plus IRS pipes look great - and sound great too!
@@marks93cobra I personally don’t recommend it. The IRS cars have a fixed pumpkin so they won’t interfere … the solid axle moves in a way that it could interfere if they weren’t mounted low enough. Most people do it for aesthetics, which I think is silly. I run IRS pipes because I have an IRS.
Kevin, one thing I have always enjoyed about your videos is the fact that you explain and show how everything works - you dont withhold information for the profit of your channel knowing something others may not. One who can teach, is one who truly understands. Your videos have really helped me brush the dust off all that I learned before I went off to college and left the car scene. I've been restoring a '79 Chevy and your videos are a genuinely helpful tool in rebuilding my confidance and allowing me to do so. Thank you, seriously.
I did an IRS swap from an 04 Cobra into my 04 Mach 1 a few months back. It is a huge difference! You'll be really happy with it. Even just cruising around it is way more comfortable. Funnily enough I also removed an 8.8 with 4.10s for the IRS.
@@Onewheelordeal I went pretty heavily into the handling mods on mine. Bilsteins all around, IRS swap, H&R race springs in the rear upgraded sway bars, brembo brakes. This weekend and next I'll be installing a tubular k-member, new motor mounts, tubular a-arms, front coilovers, a bumpsteer kit, aluminum rack bushings, and also refreshing a number of things on the engine. Really excited to take it on some curves after.
@@clevelandmaker386 I bought the car with some of the stuff already on it. The IRS came from from a friend's car that was going solid and the new stuff going on was around $2000. Would have been more but I get good discounts due to my job. The car also has aftermarket cams, bassani midlength headers, bassani x pipe, 3" bassani catback, JLT intake, and has been tuned. Made 346hp/349tq on a dynojet.
Haha, jealous...non-sense! If you are local and would like to join...im not sure, but i bet your help would be welcomed with open arms. If not, well, you ever find yourself in South Jersey and you're welcome to help on my channel!
Finally got the chance to give this a watch, HUGE kudos for getting Summit on board with the channel that should lead to some serious fun! Very much appreciate the honesty as well.
Bought my rearend housing (Ford 9 in) to bolt right in my 79 Regal....BOLTED IN IN 20 MINUTES!!!! Quick Performance built it for my Regal....and the even sent me 2 31 spline axles with Chevy bolt pattern, so didn't have to get new WELDS 😊😊😊GREAT COMPANY!!!!
I had a similar type build back in the early nineties with an '84 Z28 that had been a gnarly front end wreck. Wrecking yard front sun frame and sheet metal. Built a TPI engine obtained from the wrecking yard. Built 700R4(nit from the wrecking yard) Also obtained from the wrecking yard was a full set of IROC wheels, quick ratio steering box, posi rear end with rear disc brakes, factory suspension goodies including 36 mm hollow front sway bar and "wonder" bar, garage fabled strut tower brace and IROC ground affects. Loved that car.
I've learned so much watching this channel. Kevin does such an amazing job explaining tech that a dummy like me can understand it. I've always struggled with how diffs worked but with how kevin explained it and broke it down really helped me understand them a little better. Thank you kevin and wyatt, pls do more tech tips!
the only bit he missed is the spacers on either side of the diff not only set the engagement with the pinion they also set the preload on the bearings that support the diff! So move spacers from one side to the other to adjust the gears add or remove spacers to set up the bearing preload.
@@markscully2342 I actually learned that from drift TH-camrs that change out gears for different tracks. Diffs are definitely confusing and kevin really helped me better understand how they work
Thanks for changing it up a bit I remember watching your before you served and you've helped me so damn much. Thank you for your videos and the laughs the "roadkill style" Ford drew me in for life
Go John!!! The mullet was lost for a reason. Out of all the things I expected to see in this video, you being drug by an AMC Eagle on an exhaust box is not one of them.
I'm a little concerned about the rear coil over setup. Beside the upper shock mount not being intended for the spring pressure (which can be fixed), the thing that is scaring me is you have the entire weight of the car, and all the force of the suspension on one single bolt attached to the lower control arm. That bolt is going to be in shear load constantly and i'm concerned it will just break from the spring forces. Might wanna think about how that shock is attached to the lower and make something stronger.
Please don’t forget what your channel is about. Bringing old left and forgotten cars/trucks back to life. Too many other channels I used to watch got over their head with what they were sponsored with, and it took the fun and interest out their channel.
A good replacement I think for DGerm is Spray 9 if you can get it in Iowa. I use it all the time at work and I love it. Also a few years ago I made a comment about the f250 that the Fe should be rebuilt and topped with a blower and build a drag truck out of it, It wouldn’t be fast but it would be fun. Love the content from all you guys keep it up.
Nice! I love my mustang too! It feels good to give back Kevin. Congratulations John on your new career. Been doing the same thing for 24 years. Tough job to do these days. Good to see friends having a good time.
I’m more of a Camaro guy but these little mustangs get down and they deserve some respect. Big congrats one the summit sponsors you deserve it. I’ve always wanted an IROC because of my dads he had in high school.
Kevin, as a technical school student seriously considering the Automotive field. video's like this are so valuable. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us your learning experience. I really enjoy your video's especially one's like this, I hope you can do more!
from 44:30 and on, was some of the best shit. this was one of if not the best videos you made in a while. i loved the little bit of goofing off and especially john in the box sled (you should make that a shirt) it was nice adding some good laughs.
My brother just picked up a 95 corvette as a project car. Motor turns over, I'm told, but it needs some major love. He is excited as he always wanted a corvette.
Good job gentlemen. As a Ford chassis master, I'd say you guys have a good grasp on things. You're right about the need for special tools for this job. At least you recognized that, and decided to reach out to get it done for you, rather than trash a new set of gears. Keep up the good work!
I been using power stop brake components and rotors for over a decade and they have never let me down even dirty rally racing Toyota suvs and even drag racing @Junkyard Digs
Hay Kevin and co I just want to say thanks for doing what you do I've just started to work on a ford falcon xg that's been sitting in my yard for the past 12 to 13 years and watching you has been a huge help with it. Congrats on the sponsorships
Kevin, thank you for taking the time to draw that excellent exploded view of a differential. That’s awesome. I know this video is old, but I hope you see this. Your awesome dude.
I know Ford Australia developed an IRS called the crossblade, which was apparently superior to the one used in the Mustang. Apparently it was not used which was not surprising seeing as it was not made in merica.
I put power stops on my ‘07 Impala, the set for all 4 came with the rotors and carbon pads and I shit you not it’ll stop on a dime. By far my favorite brake company.
Oh man that borla Exhaust sounds Beastly Omg that sound is heaven way deeper sound than the first Rev at the beginning and that stance Looks Amazing @Junkyard Digs
I'm only at the beginning of the video so far. It's nice to see someone that's not from out west building a car with a suspension that makes it handle better. Outside the west everyone is all about more power and not much else.
I went ahead and hit the like button, although I've got it pause during the fishing Clash commercial. This kind of thing is right up my alley, I love to watch you fix cars on the spot, but I miss junkyard Wars... so sourcing everything you need with vehicles that you already have is one of the things I love the most
@@16vSciroccoboi yep. Considering that right after the commercial they got a whole bunch of sponsored parts. But I don't believe in deleting my comments. Good, bad, or ugly... if I'm wrong, I'll let the world call me on it and because TH-cam doesn't make it easy to find my old comments... if I am called on it, I admit my mistakes
I really respect the junkyard approach. That catches my attention immediately. Using resources efficiently and economically is super cool. Excellent work Kevin!!
I love the humor in your videos but thank you for being serious about others on the road and taking care of your own stuff so that others are not in danger
Great video. I did notice something though. When you were removing the driver’s side rear shock, that tire appears to be on the wrong side as noted by the rotation arrows are pointing towards the rear of the car. Wouldn’t that also cause vibration? Keep making great videos.
Watching the cradle installation sent me back to auto shop class (cira 1983). On pulling or installing a transmission. Shop teacher explaining the need for a transmission jack. If you do not have this jack you will need a BDF to hold the transmission while you bolt it in. Having recently replaced the clutch in my car. My best friend asked. What's a BDF. Big Dumb Friend. You guys are awesome.
Glad for you guys success, but please, please, please don't turn the channel into a racing build channel for every video. The will it run videos are so much better (IMHO). Thanks!
Also, the 8.8 isn’t bad to do. Yes it’s annoying tearing it apart 5 times. The SINGLE best tip for any axle that doesn’t have a 3rd member, buy 2 inner pinion bearings and grind the ID on one to where it easily slips on and off the pinion. Then while you find the correct shins for your wear pattern and backlash, you don’t need to press on and off. Then during final assembly, freeze the pinion and bake the bearing at 300 degrees for an hour and slide the bearing on. I just use original carrier shims if keeping the factory gearing on a rebuild.
Gotta hate computers, all that consistent driveability, ease of tuning, comprehensive component monitoring and easy troubleshooting are pretty terrible.
Warning: constructive criticism ahead. It's great getting sponsors but I just hope you stay true to what made your channel fun. This episode seems a bit thick with marketing and thin with showing work. It was disappointing to see you skip past the areas you had difficulties, and do things off-camera. Overcoming the problems is valuable for people to see. (Why couldn't you finish the diff, what was the problem with installing the IRS?)
I think the guy that has the channel Idocars has the headlights you are looking for, he has a business in St Louis, very intertaining videos on blown engines you guy will love this guy. He looks like Adam Sandler when he was younger...
Sweet Mustang. I like those years Cobra’s. Back in the early 90’s I saw at a dealership a Carroll Shelby Super Snake. It had the 351 V-8 on it… Bad ass Mustang. Congrats on the Summit and other sponsorships.
Congrats on the Summit sponsorship!! That's the dream right there! Finished the video and god DAMN that exhaust should be a requirement for owning this car
Great content Kevin and good job to you and wyatt on taking the time to explain what your doing to the viewers. This kind of content is what inspires so many to get out and start their own build. Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to many more videos!
I bought the QA1 full suspension kit through Summit Racing for my first gen Monte Carlo. Let’s face it. After 50 years, the stamped stock suspension parts, coils, and rubber bushings just needed to be gone. I also got the optional rear sway bar and fatter front sway bar. With 60 series BFGs on 15x8 rims, that car has never handled that good. I am not a professional mechanic. With the supplied instructions, I was able to install it all using jack stands in my garage. If you couldn’t tell, I fully endorse QA1 from Summit Racing.
Amazing video and an amazing car! Glad you were having so much fun, i love when you upload and i can just sit down and watch for an hour and just chill. Congratulations to John too, i hope there will be more of him this year.
Congratulations on the Big time SUMMIT sponsorship. Nice to see what my 96 could have been (opens Autotempest app). Lastly, the Eagle vs the John-in-a-box was a bit of a time traveling memory when we did the same dain-bramaging stunts in high school back in 1984, in NJ, when it used to snow that deep and stick around for more than an hour. Anywho, as always, looking forward to the next videos.
This is a great vid!!!!!! Sweet cobra!!! Lots of good news as well, congratulations to JYD on the sponsorship and congratulations to John on getting the police officer position he was after.

Great content Kevin and good job to you and wyatt on taking the time to explain what your doing to the viewers. This kind of content is what inspires so many to get out and start their own build. Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to many more videos!
That 97 cobra sounds beastly Wyatt thats🔥🔥 @6:13 @Junkyard Digs
Thanks for the rear End Lesson. That Ford should be sweet. Love the exhaust upgrade. Sounds great. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!
This is the FIRST video that I actually understanded about read diffs and shimming....
I bought the QA1 full suspension kit through Summit Racing for my first gen Monte Carlo. Let’s face it. After 50 years, the stamped stock suspension parts, coils, and rubber bushings just needed to be gone. I also got the optional rear sway bar and fatter front sway bar. With 60 series BFGs on 15x8 rims, that car has never handled that good. I am not a professional mechanic. With the supplied instructions, I was able to install it all using jack stands in my garage. If you couldn’t tell, I fully endorse QA1 from Summit Racing.
Dude THANK YOU SO MUCH! Teaching about the nighmare of differential configs. And for the fishing game too.. THAT is a blast! 😎
That's a beautiful explanation of a rear axle, differential, the way shims work, and how sadness can happen.
Kevin, you really have a great knack for explaining things. thanks man!
I never thought it was possible but something tells me this channel is about to get even better! Keep up the pleasant content man!
Amazing video and an amazing car! Glad you were having so much fun, i love when you upload and i can just sit down and watch for an hour and just chill.
Congratulations to John too, i hope there will be more of him this year.
Congratulations on the Big time SUMMIT sponsorship. Nice to see what my 96 could have been (opens Autotempest app). Lastly, the Eagle vs the John-in-a-box was a bit of a time traveling memory when we did the same dain-bramaging stunts in high school back in 1984, in NJ, when it used to snow that deep and stick around for more than an hour.
Anywho, as always, looking forward to the next videos.
This is a great vid!!!!!! Sweet cobra!!! Lots of good news as well, congratulations to JYD on the sponsorship and congratulations to John on getting the police officer position he was after.
Great explanation on shims in relationship to pinion and ring gear. Very understandable illustration . Summit made very wise decision.
