Thanks for that feedback. For those that want the longer versions, there's a 30 min version of this video BTW, I'm making those available to Premium Members on my website. Link in the description.

I don't normally look at the mantlepiece when stoking the fire but an engine like that I'd make an exception.

Good choice on the power steering pump. You've made a impressive and gorgeous engine.

LOL! "Calibrated torque wrench hand"! LOVE IT! (Yeah, as Godfrey Poon suggested, a nice vocal "click" would've sealed the deal.)

ERIC, THAT ENGINE LOOKS AWESOME, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE A VIDEO OF THE CAR RUNNING AND REVVING ONCE IS ALL DONE !!!

I have a 460 swapped into my 78 f250 4x4 and CVF had everything I needed to get the alt. and ps mounted correctly. Great stuff!

Just as I moved to Florida 3 years ago my AC died... I got a job working outside, so I get all nice and sweaty then get in a 110+ degree car and head home... not fun. I've been fixing my own cars with Eric's videos for 7 or so years now, watched all of the AC videos and properly replaced the compressor, vacuumed the system and refilled it, did the dryer receiver and the expansion valve as well... finally have AC. Point is YES, when it's very hot you're dying for some AC. Honestly on long trips of it being over 100 you can start to feel faint, it's not a good thing.

Very nice dress up kit Eric! I remember the old cheap style chrome valve covers and timing cover kit for the chevy 350, but those aluminum ones look real heavy duty.

Ha! I dropped a tip in the comments and you bought it up! Good build one of the best automotive channels on youtube 👍

that motor is absolutely BONKERS!!!! Nice work man!

That engine looks great the way you built it, and hope everything works out fine once it is in the car. It must be so rewarding to know that you built that engine yourself, and it is a workhorse like no other. It is nice that you have power steering and A/C on the vehicle also since the A/C will definitely be needed in the Summer heat.

I appreciate the reasons behind the choices, that helps.

Those covers are gorgeous. So much better.

great video Eric!! it's very detailed, I love all of your video's. I like how you use viewer's tips and tricks. :)

thanks eric for the awsome videos!

you are the man, straight up all videos are great!

I just started my channel and feel the same way as you about the "hand calibrating torque settings" and said to people don't break my shoes. Then I tried to torque something that wasent a die or need setup and I snapped 2 heat stressed bolts. Then got lucky with the extraction but said to people see what happens in this kind of situation. LOL. Thanks for the inspiration to make my own channel and your video's are great and love them. Keep up the great work.

Looking good Eric! Loving the build so far man. One question. Why not use an oil catch can instead of just the breathers?

Hey eric if you did this again would you use the serpentine kit or go with one of the big 1700$ kits? im torn on what to use in my 86 mustang.

Ever get chance to see if valve covers fixed issue with oil being pushed? I'm having same issue

That is a sexy engine. Always appreciate your vids, mate.

Hey Eric, I have an 87 Mustang GT that I am going to build once I get back to states and my goal is what you just built! Around how much would it cost to build something like this? I'm guessing in the 7500-10000 range. Thanks, love your videos!

ERIC, There is a 93 Integra GS-R for 4500 a bit away from where I live. It looks in quite good condition.

Engine looks awesome

u can make ur own little catch can type deal by stuffing steel or brass wool/shavings into the baffles, the oil will condense on it and it helps

Looks great!

U selling any parts of the donor mustang looking for a complete dash

are you not running a oil catch can too?

Those rubber and steel gaskets are the only way to fly on a 302. The 130 amp is OE for a 90s Taurus, also an awesome part. Stock 80s alternators have terrible low rpm output.

@MasterChief-sl9ro

Large Body 2 holes all always 130 amp.. Ford uses them in many a truck and vans.. I would add. These things get hot above 50% loads. Which is why ford uses a 175 amp fuse and #4 stranded wire from alternator too battery....

Should you wait any amount of seconds in the morning to put your car in reverse? and does this apply to cars after a certain year. All feedback would be great

Eric, I think I need an oil catch can on my EuroR H22(11.5:1 comp) in my 93 Accord. I was told it would cut back on the white smoke that comes out of the exhaust at high RPMs. Any truth to this?

Are your fasteners also aluminium Eric or just occasionally?

hey I just got a new governor for my truck but it won't go in all the way or it is and I can't tell, there's nothing in the chamber or anything blocking the way so my guess is replacing the cap with a taller one (I have a short stubby cap) but I'm not sure on it tho need more information

eric does exhaust wrap help or hurt . someone told me that leting the heat out is good Not to contain it. but you have them so hmmmm

I have used CVF Racing parts in the past. Their parts are well made with a great finish and fit. Due to continued failures, I finally bit the bullet and spent $2300 on a Vintage Air FrontRunner system. The Vintage Air system came with all the components needed to ensure the proper fit and operation of the accessory drive. Aluminum water pump, 170 amp alternator, power steering pump, belt tensioner, all the ARP fasteners needed, and a signal Serpentine belt. The system has been installed for three months now with about 5K miles on it including a desert run with 100+ temperatures. Before I installed the FrontRunner system I never got more than a thousand miles without a failure. The only problem remaining is all the rusty junk I need to replace under the hood. The upfront price on the Vintage Air system made me say bad words but with it said and done it is the better value.

Yea, I thought about that. It's funny that in the end I will have probably spent $2K on my system and it will look like I never did anything when I'm done.

The Vintage Air FrontRunner system is a beautiful piece of art but the best part of the system is I bolted on a 100K miles of reliability. The only complaint I have is the support from Vintage Air was not worth the time I put into. Unlike CVF Racing that is always helpful. I really love the Fairmont Videos and will watch all the videos you can produce. Remember family comes first then the Fairmont, import repair videos, ETCG1 and last and most likely least sleep. Keep up the great work and thanks for being on KZread.

If this is a street vehicle, will valve cover breathers to open air not violate vehicle (emissions) annual inspection?

nice engine Eric

the nut on the fastener trick is great for emergency off road repairs.

I have an incredible eye for detail! Looks like the turbo housing is MUCH to close to the alternator and will cause it to get very hot? Also the water pump pully is STILL i slightly out of line with the belts if you check with a straight edge on one side? Lizza

Technically the engine isn't a Ford so you're good.

valves on shafts and a Saginaw pump....had those on my old Plymouth fury stock....haha love your project keep the vids coming....

Are there breathers on only one valve cover? What's up with the other one?

What does the valve cover need breathers for? Is there pressure inside that needs to be equalized? And if so, then why does only one side of the valve covers have them, and the other side doesn't?

1:52 see the ford logo and that bolt thing under it what's the bolt thing called because in my car I have a pool of oil sitting around it I thought it was meant to drain back down or am I wrong. Also there was I little bit of green in it but I think it's gone now

Eric. That cutting bolt with nut tric. Trick is intend to cut just next to nut. Use some random nut, lock it to the correct bolt lenght in a vise and cut the bolt by leaning to the nut.

Eric- do you have an HEI ring for those plug wires to snap into? It's usually a GM thing- with the integrated HEI coil on top, and the wires snap into the ring to secure them. I don't know if you've ever mentioned the ignition setup? Plugs type and brand? Points or electronic? Coil? Thanks Man.

I had seen a video about a diverter for the exhaust have you thought about running one? I know that you are building this as a "sleeper" From what I saw I thought having the ability to have the option is a cool concept have the option to run the exhaust off the header or switch to running through the muffler or straight exhaust with a push of a button.

Two things Eric, one, I never use my a/c. My roof comes off #ttop, and I'm ALL about that lifestyle(sunburn and all). Two, maybe you did look into it but vintage air makes kits for almost EVERYTHING. Jay Leno stands behind there products and jay is much smarter than I. Both those being said I'm sure there is good reasoning you have made the choices you have and although a die hard bowtie fanboy I really hope you enjoy this project on the streer

now this motor is going in that Integra in the background right?

probably end using oil catch can after you pull the car out the garage. lol great vid eric.

How do you figure out what way to run the belt around all the pullies? How do you figure out the correct length of belt? How do you figure out the correct tension of the belt across everything?

@ericthecarguy

7 жыл бұрын

In order. Ribbed side goes to ribbed pulley. Smooth pulley goes to smooth side of the belt. The belt came with the kit and was sized for it. After a while you develop a feel for belt tension. kzread.info/dash/bejne/jIeIvMaNcaXFcdY.html

what pcv valve are you running? since you are turbo charged you could be pressurizing the crank case therefore pushing pressure up to the valve covers through the oil holes. (this believe it or not can be a loss of 20 hp because of the back pressure on the piston rings) The stock 5.0 pcv can be upgraded to the svo one or better yet go to a catch can

Ive always wondered why people put valve cover breather filters on everyday cars. This example is an exception for sure, but I've always felt keeping it routed into the intake on your average engine is best.
