Man I tell ya, seeing you get a little worked up over the car got me a little worked up. These cars are a passion for sure. You’re a good man with a good, positive, family oriented and INFORMATIVE channel for us Ford nuts and all car guys alike 👍🏻
Thanks you so much William. Yes been a long time coming. Just having more and more issues I just keep battling them away. Thanks again. DragBoss Garage is a knowledge channel, and friend channel, and family channel. Glad your here
Love the SNAP of that exhaust. She looks all business. I looked up 351c as i am heading out to Utah to pick up a 351c 4v that has been sitting for years. My dad had it in a 66 f100. She was a sleeper. Time to wake the beast!
Wow, my heart was pounding Tim! Congratulations man, she sounds Awesome! Looking forward to it hanging wheels at the track! Your family must be so proud! Blessings to you all!
Congratulations Tim on your journey to this point, jeez I had a little anxiety on the startup also. I'm so glad I came across this channel a while ago. I've learned about the Cleveland , enjoyed the interviews, and your family interactions. I look forward to more. Good Luck.
Thank you Lou, I appreciate you. Yes, I was bumming a bit. But stay positive. Glad your found us. More interviews on the way. Damon Merchant from street outlaws on Sunday night tentatively. Keep you posted.
Great job on the Cleveland, Tim! You, can almost count each individual exhaust note! I'm glad, you got the Cougar back together. Looking forward to seeing a run or two, down the track. I'll be watching your channel, for updates. I don't always comment, but I always give a thumbs up.
😀My first car was a 73 gran torino 4dr with a 351c and wasnt even close to your car build but at almost 60 now I do get all the emotion.Was a fun car to rod around with.
Thanks William. Yes love that year Torino. The grill is the best. Yes long time coming with this build, and now the steering is still an issue. Hopefully get it straightened out soon. Thanks
Right on vrm , I’m glad you read the description you saw I had a spark plug. Wires crossed. What a rookie mistake, but not afraid to make a mistake. Admit to it. I won’t do that ever again, I never have to begin with, but yes, I appreciate your support, and the live chats are only gonna get better, thank you my friend
@@vrm86gt yes agreed, no biggie, no one would of known, but funny thing is really have to listen, To know difference. Hard to tell otherwise just idling. Thanks vrm
Vacuum - 0 inches Power brakes - Use parachute! Good to hear it finally up and running, and it sounds great! Have a great day, Sir! God Bless you and your wonderful family. o7
I thought of it a few videos back and didn’t say anything, I hope it catches on. Tim, do you plan on doing any Windsor stuff? Im a Windsor,Coyote and BBF(especially the hemi stuff) guy, although I enjoy the Cleveland stuff, was curious.
@@DanielThomason1 yes Team DragBoss 🏁☺️. Well I do have a brand new Ford Motorsport 9.2 Windsor block,hmmmm also have dreamed about a 600 ci bbf, just happen to have a set of A460s Boss 429 for wife’s Mustang in future. Lots to do. 😎
Tim way cool to see.impressive to hear.Music to the trained ear.cant wait until my 4vcc 351 is finished and in my fox.rotating assy.is done.top end is next.keep you posted.cant wait to see you run.
I agree with you, my brother it is freedom for me, but I can finish up this project move onto the new stuff and obtain my goal. I have to see if we got a package in the mail when I get home tonight. Mrs. DragBoss never said anything to me yet. Thank you for your help and support. Greg appreciate you.
Almost have to finish the transmission with Alaina, still want to figure out about the spacer for the flex plate. I contacted JW but never heard back from them.
Sweet Tim. Congratulations on job well done. Hey your shop towels look very similar to the shop towels I use that came from our local hospital. I believe surgical towels that were used, then laundered. They are fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
Now that's music to my ears Tim. I was at a drag meet here in NZ, where a Clevor powered '69 Mustang is for sale at $70,000 NZD ($43,500 USD). It has a manual trans, runs some nitrous, and runs 9.40's @ 145 through the mufflers !!
Talked to a gentleman with a cleveland powered ride, stock 4v cleveland heads with all the work ( epoxy floors raised intake ports, bowl work and valve job, glidden type chambers, exhaust without port plates ) and flows 373cfm@.700", he has a .800" lift cam and making 8.90@149.
That is awesome my friend. I love that. Mike Weeks has been on my channle. Hid 69 Mustang runs about the same, looks factory. Trying to do similar with the Cougar. Thank you
@DragBoss Garage Damn good question Tim. 8.90s is a hustle for any NA street car you can drive anywhere. We could spray 400 and couldn't get much past 900hp in the 80s with pump gas NA. Nowadays, the game has changed, and the weight.
BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN. HELL YEAH, BABY ! After it first cackled to life , I could hear the emotion in your voice as you spoke. I was instantly covered in goosebumps at that point. You’ve done another MAGNIFICENT JOB, my brother. I couldn’t be more proud of you for all of the major personal and professional hurdles that you’ve overcome in recent times. You, sir are a true man amongst men and my friend. And BTW, Foxy Lady DragBoss is a hella fine videographer, wife, mother and a much needed, essential part of the team. WOW 😉. Talk soon, ole chum. CLEVELANDS FOREVER 🏁.
Thank you Daniel. It was pretty emotional for me as I have been through multiple trials and tribulations over the last couple of years. But yes, she worse to life, and is ready to burn rubber baby. I finally figured out what to do with the bell housing situation, so warm up one more time today pulled a Headers, as I can’t install the transmission with the right side header start working on the transmission today but yes, Mrs. DragBoss sure brings things together. Not only in video, but our home life. keeps us all in check. Don’t tell anybody my birthday this weekend. I also have Damon Merchant for Street Outlaws on a live chat on Sunday. I’m working on thank you for your support. Always appreciate it Oh, wait to you see the pro stock mother load that was dropped off at my house. Wow all untouched from 1975 from Gapp$Roush.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland … Tim, you just don’t know how much good it would do for my current emotional state and physical condition to be laying under the Cougar helping you get those final items sorted out. Sorry I didn’t respond sooner but you’re familiar with my situation. No I didn’t get any word on the Seventies mother load of Pro Stock goodie’s that you have at your house. Do tell more when you get a moment. It sounds intriguing if it consists of what I suspect it is. Mums the word on your upcoming annual celebration of life. Mine was March 3rd. I turned 69 which is a damn site better than 79, in my opinion 🤷♂️. You and your family are living the dream. You have all of my love and respect along with my best wishes in every endeavor that comes your way. Every time you encourage me to complete my Cleveland project, I know you’re totally sincere. Your enthusiasm and energy fills me with hope. Unfortunately I’m now conflicted about pulling out all of the stops and going with the 408 stroker from tmeyerinc.com Also I recently had a long and quiet informative conversation with Mark McKeown about his Titus blocks. He’s building 500 CUBIC INCH Clevelands with 1000+ naturally aspirated horsepower with a single four barrel. The man apparently has achieved what T Meyer has been trying so hard to accomplish in mass quantities. Titus blocks are D2AE-CA replicas with some serious internal structural integrity and of course, priority oiling and much more. Unfortunately going to the 408 Molnar stroker or 500 Titus is just going to delay my project much longer. Let me know what you think…or don’t think about it 😁. I’m staying tuned in for the next episode of DragBoss Garage…as always 🏁
Thank you Daniel. I always appreciate your enthusiasm. And try to encourage you and your endeavors. Wow happy belated birthday 69. You better get going for you can. I if it was me, I would get your current engine done you can always go bigger. In regards to Titus, if you knew the backstory, you would understand why I have nothing to say. Except this what goes around comes around. I have a couple secret blocks in the make will not go into that yet. But yes, the pro stock parts will be a whole separate video. It’s a pretty cool story when you hear it from the guy that brought them stay tune for that.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland … Say no more my friend. I copy THAT backstory loud and clear 👌. Perhaps under the circumstances, marching forward with my current components is the best option available. It won’t be a 775 horsepower masterpiece, but I definitely know how to make it motivate like mad. Definitely looking forward to your PRO STOCK HOARD VIDEO featuring totally badass vintage Cleveland superiority. I appreciate the support 👍
Right on. Do you have most everything to finish that combination you have put in high gear. anyway you look at it you’ll be over 500 hp. that’s a good motivator for now. that’s over a 40 minute interview with the gentleman. It’s pretty cool his story. The irony of it all comes at the end of the video you’ll be like what I can’t believe that stay tuned my friend.
She's real fine, your 409! 🎵Tim, An emotional time nearly on the level of being in a delivery room. KITTY'S ALIVE!...AND SHE'S ANGRY! What's a couple of hiccups? Happens to everyone, all the time. Always troubleshoot using the "A-B method." Basics first and usually the issue will turn out to be something minor, something overlooked... There are lots of eyes and ears on this video. To an Automotive Enthusiast, nothing beats the sound of an engine coming to life or singing at full song. To us, it's a living, breathing thing. What a feeling! Congratulations! I took note of Daniel Thomason in the Comments, "Team Dragboss." That would go great on a Tee-Shirt or... 🤔
You are a mind reader. Kids and others would Love that. Your so right, the basics are key, in any problem solving. Also frustration control is important. The sound of the first fire up, cannot be described in words, you have to experience it in real life. The sound along with the smell of race fuel gets and keeps your heart pounding. After today have time to catch up with everything. Way more on the way....
Nice Work Tim. It Sounds Awesome ! Spending money like Mad Crazy past 1 month buying Pontiac parts for my 1970 Trans Am RAIV 4-speed. It's been a long time for me too. Custom Diamond pistons ordered and paid in full along with Total Seal AP Racing Rings. Laughing gas on 1000+ Hp. Love Your Channel Your an inspiration to all a Racers not just Ford ! Missing my old 1973 Lincoln Mark IV Continental 460 Big Block 2 door now also !
Hey B&R Thanks so much. You got it cooking. I love those Trans Am cars, I always remember the rear spoiler for some reason. Make me some vids, and pics and I will make a video.Mark IV killer too
Very Nice! Mine always has a Melling HV Pump pushing 70 psi oil pressure at idle too. I built mine in 1985 for my 73 Mach 1 and I still have it. I reinstalled it into a Factory 5 Cobra in 2000 when I built that. Its a closed chamber 4bbl headed Boss with a hydraulic roller cam and Biggs Racing Holley 750. Sounds just like mine. Congrats brother.
Thank you so much, been through a lot of trials and tribulations, but that’s what happens when you go outside the box. Your car sounds like a killer specially, in the cobra hang the hell on brother.
Great stuff 👍 thanks for sharing. Yup. "You know if you get a old Cleveland running you know you got something" Sounds good. Maybe some ear muffs for the babies with those open tubes. ✌ 🇺🇲 GOD bless America 🇺🇲
My favorite Ford engine period and I have had a few. First one that I heard run with open headers was in a Pantera. She sounds like she's gonna be drunk on Q16 for a long time👍🏼
Fuel leaks can cause you a lot of grief. I recommend a good fire extinguisher or two in your shop. I keep a bucket full of o rings just in case however if the o ring is in a bad spot i perfer fresh o ring ...Tim do you run a vacuum pump on your engine.. yep sounds good ..so if this is a fresh build do you recommend a retorque and check valves after a heat cycle ..thanks for the videos
Your welcome Jim. There was one right behind me. But I want to get the halon ones. No mess. Yes I need some o rings but just may sell all the BG stuff on e bay. To tell you the truth. I ran it on run stand, then Dyno. After a few pulls ran the valves and never touched them since. Dang dyno was 2 years ago. Yes do run a vacuum pump.
Great video Tim! Thats awesome that you got to the point to light her off! Sometimes that road is very long and filled with blood, sweat and tears. Congrats brother! Best of luck this season of racing. Hopefully you can get to the track and make a few runs. 775hp is super impressive out of a 351 Cleveland. Until I started watching your channel all I knew about 351 Clevelands is that there is one in my Torino😂 I have learned a ton about them from you.👍👍👍
Thanks Mr. well I’m glad I could help with your knowledge base. Knowledge is power, brand is just a name yeah but hopefully can get the transmission buttoned up get it in the car and make a pass in April. Appreciate you.
You're right she is cookin...sounds nasty!!! I've found that changing out the needle and seat seals to ones made of viton hold up much better to all kinds of fuels. Good luck!!
Man I tell ya, seeing you get a little worked up over the car got me a little worked up. These cars are a passion for sure. You’re a good man with a good, positive, family oriented and INFORMATIVE channel for us Ford nuts and all car guys alike 👍🏻
Thanks you so much William. Yes been a long time coming. Just having more and more issues I just keep battling them away. Thanks again. DragBoss Garage is a knowledge channel, and friend channel, and family channel. Glad your here
I lubricate every thing on a Holley with cherry chapstick. Never fails.
I have never even heard of that. Will grape work lol. What specific parts, linkage Cam ?
It sounds brutal through a good pair of headphones. I wish I had a sound clip of you revving it to use as my ringtone!
That would be cool I’m not sure how to do that. Just record the sound and try making one if you know how let me know.
Thank you for letting us hang out in the shop with you once again and share all that wonderful Cleve knowledge. 775 hp.... good lord!!!!
Thank you Chad I appreciate you watching and enjoying. Amen to that 🙏

@@DragBoss351Cleveland and heads, pistons, rods, rings, and all the stuff that can handle that much power lol!
Well, there is a little more to it. Thank you guy. Appreciate you watching.
There is no feeling like hearing that project fire for the first time, especially if it has been years coming.
Without a doubt, my friend, thank you
Very nice!
Thanks Joey
Beautiful car, sounds like a beast
Thanks Brian, feels like one too
Awesome 351c💯👍💪
Thanks 👍
Nice Work Tim.
It Sounds Awesome !
Spending money like Mad Crazy past 1 month buying Pontiac parts for my 1970 Trans Am RAIV 4-speed.
It's been a long time for me too.
Custom Diamond pistons ordered and paid in full along with Total Seal AP Racing Rings. Laughing gas on 1000+ Hp.
Love Your Channel Your an inspiration to all a Racers not just Ford !
Missing my old 1973 Lincoln Mark IV Continental 460 Big Block 2 door now also !
Hey B&R Thanks so much. You got it cooking. I love those Trans Am cars, I always remember the rear spoiler for some reason. Make me some vids, and pics and I will make a video.Mark IV killer too
Congrats and getting the engine in and running again!
Yes! Thank you! Been a long time coming
Very Nice! Mine always has a Melling HV Pump pushing 70 psi oil pressure at idle too. I built mine in 1985 for my 73 Mach 1 and I still have it. I reinstalled it into a Factory 5 Cobra in 2000 when I built that. Its a closed chamber 4bbl headed Boss with a hydraulic roller cam and Biggs Racing Holley 750. Sounds just like mine. Congrats brother.
Thank you so much, been through a lot of trials and tribulations, but that’s what happens when you go outside the box. Your car sounds like a killer specially, in the cobra hang the hell on brother.
Awsome great hp to have
Thank you David

Dragboss Family I feel ya's... All that Blue Blood,Sweat and Tears! Milestone Day it is
We thank you Mark, for enjoying our channel.
BADASS
Hell yeah!
sounds like a monster, Tim!
I like that...
It sure do sound good
Thanks David Reed.
Great stuff 👍 thanks for sharing. Yup. "You know if you get a old Cleveland running you know you got something" Sounds good. Maybe some ear muffs for the babies with those open tubes. ✌ 🇺🇲 GOD bless America 🇺🇲
You got that right! Yes she said dad it is so loud, but I loove the smell. God bless our country, we need it.
My favorite Ford engine period and I have had a few. First one that I heard run with open headers was in a Pantera.
She sounds like she's gonna be drunk on Q16 for a long time👍🏼
I think she will too, plenty for her to swallow
Sounds mean Tim 😎 👍
It sure does, in my unbiased opinion
Fuel leaks can cause you a lot of grief. I recommend a good fire extinguisher or two in your shop. I keep a bucket full of o rings just in case however if the o ring is in a bad spot i perfer fresh o ring ...Tim do you run a vacuum pump on your engine.. yep sounds good ..so if this is a fresh build do you recommend a retorque and check valves after a heat cycle ..thanks for the videos
Your welcome Jim. There was one right behind me. But I want to get the halon ones. No mess. Yes I need some o rings but just may sell all the BG stuff on e bay. To tell you the truth. I ran it on run stand, then Dyno. After a few pulls ran the valves and never touched them since. Dang dyno was 2 years ago. Yes do run a vacuum pump.
Great video Tim! Thats awesome that you got to the point to light her off! Sometimes that road is very long and filled with blood, sweat and tears. Congrats brother! Best of luck this season of racing. Hopefully you can get to the track and make a few runs. 775hp is super impressive out of a 351 Cleveland. Until I started watching your channel all I knew about 351 Clevelands is that there is one in my Torino😂 I have learned a ton about them from you.👍👍👍
Thanks Mr. well I’m glad I could help with your knowledge base. Knowledge is power, brand is just a name yeah but hopefully can get the transmission buttoned up get it in the car and make a pass in April. Appreciate you.
@@DragBoss351Cleveland Thats awesome Tim! Would love to see you make a pass! Best of luck👍👍👍
@@MrWill73 Doing my best
You're right she is cookin...sounds nasty!!! I've found that changing out the needle and seat seals to ones made of viton hold up much better to all kinds of fuels. Good luck!!
Thanks. I have those, it’s the little I rings on the needle and seat that go bad. Is that what your taking about?
@@DragBoss351Cleveland To my knowledge the needle doesn't have an O ring on it. Only the seat has the O ring seal that goes bad so quickly.
The needle and seat assembly has the O ring around the outside
DBG tis so sweet!
I think so too! Thank you!!!
The sound of 351C music, let's listen to the Cleveland "Crank" !!
Thanks John and that is with the correct firing order 😳
Sounds like a winner!
Thanks Spin, appreciate it my friend
Super COOL Tim❤
Thanks much. Love the smell of race fuel, lingers in the garage
Nasty!👍
Thanks, I think so too
Tim Halstead, it sounds great. Crispy!
Thanks Eric, sure does.
I use to put rubber clear hose to a empty water bottle in case the needle and seat is stuck on carbs that sit it happens less messy no gas on engine
Another great idea, thanks Chauncey
Sweet car
Thannk you Andy
F?%@$ American Muscle right there!
👍👍👍👍👍
Congrats!!!
Hell Yeah Mohan, Rock N roll.
Sounds so amazing. Where is the dominator carb
Sitting in a box Allen
@@DragBoss351Cleveland why did you go back to the smaller carb
Last combo I dynoed with. Other intake and dominator requires spacer under scoop. Also only a 6hp difference.
Gawd I love that!
Me too, long time coming
What sort of trap speeds are you expecting ? Sounds amazing
Rudy, I used to go through at 137+ at 8200, so may pick up a few MPH
@@DragBoss351Cleveland 9’s?
@@rudyjhughes best was 9.66
Killer!
Thank you Joe. Hopefully hit that 9.50 and be done with it for a while.
listen to that cougar PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!!
I keep listening to it Dave, over and over lol
