One of my favorite videos I want to drop 373 gears in my town car but sadly where I'm at they won't let me test a car apart like that :( I wanted to do it on my own .
I would really like to build a 6 and take it on a road course… sure sure on the straights it wouldn’t have much to contend with but in the corner it bet it would be a blast
This has single handily been my favorite video I’ve watched all year😂😂 bro I swear I’ve gotten by with doing stuff with some minimal tools but you’ve taught me a new appreciation for a log splitter 😂 god speed my dude and welcome to sloppy mechanics
Can the intake be reversed so the input is in the back? Doing a jetboat and don't want things sticking out front, have room over the jet for intake. I am going 3.8 because it is ~150lbs lighter than my iron 5.0 at 220hp.and a plastic intake should save another 20lbs.
Great job and an excellent video to boot. Wish more guys that had car knowledge knew how to make videos No extra talking, clear view of work, explanation as you worked
EDIT to my OP: You can see here the extra difference in midrange punch the Wind* 3.8 gives you & the extra low end torque the 4.2 V6 gives you. I recommend just doing an F150 4.2 swap because its already in a RWD configuration. You can increase midrange and top end on the 4.2 noticeably by adding a true dual exhaust. Doesn't have to be loud to be functional, just true duals + one h pipe + 2 mufflers, that should add atleast 10hp/10tq, use a CAI and add another 5hp/5tq. That extra torque is what will propel that car forward harder after you upshift on WOT. These are large pushrod engines, no need to rev to 6,000rpm when the horsepower peak is at or below 5,000rpm you're just hurting acceleration because you can't get a bite outta that meaty torque band. Also, the Wind* engine is slightly different internally than the Mustang 3.8 so swapping the intake doesn't do much. It's just as useless as swapping an SVT 2.5 intake onto a non SVT 2.5 engine. Use the 4.2 with true duals. You'll thank me later. 1999 Mustang 3.8 V6 190hp @ 5,250rpm 220tq @ 2,750rpm 1999+ Windstar 3.8 V6 200hp @ 4,900rpm 240tq @ 3,750rpm 1996-1998 Wind* 3.8 V6 200hp @ 5,000rpm 230tq @ 3,000rpm 1999 F-150 4.2 V6 205hp @ 4,800rpm 250tq @ 3,400rpm
What intake manifold you have on the motor? Is it the Windstar that alot of folks are using or something aftermarket and by the way i love how it sounded before the longtube install. I want to sound jus like that lol!
Good job. If you break that yellow retaining clip good luck in finding a replacement. I like how you used those straps to drop the tank - I might try that next time instead of using a floor jack. If you do order a complete assembly with the housing, check that you can easily replace the fuel pump like this. Some aftermarket stuff isn't nearly as easy to replace a fuel pump as the OEM housing - reuse your OEM housing if you can. Be careful heating those hoses! (Don't use a heat gun) By the way, if your tank is full it'll be more difficult to drop that tank. Yes, I'm speaking from experience. I'm currently in the process of replacing my fuel pump but since I can't find a hose to replace the one I broke on my aftermarket housing I ordered a new pump with a supposedly OEM style housing (I can't find just the housing without a fuel pump) - that's why I say to be careful with buying aftermarket housings because it appears they usually don't want you to be able to replace the pump - they actually admit to that. Keep you OEM housing if you can! 2002 Mustang GT.
yo, do you still have the red mustang? I want to see a fly by video o the exhaust. just regular driving, I am trying to weld up my own "prochamber" since mac is now out of business. It would be for science and it would really help me out brother.
I have a 2003 and the axles were not pushing in far enough to remove the C-Clips. Turns out the wheel speed sensor wheel hits the wheel speed sensor. Remove the wheel speed sensor and you should be good. Thanks for the video.
I really wish I had the skills to repair my own Nissan Altima 2003 car. I really like it even though it has switched hands a couple of times but I don't know where to start without bleeding my bank account
I just got one from my friend for 500$, i am going through a rough patch and needed a car. It's been super reliable, only has about 155k miles. The paint is rough, but the car itself is solid for the price! Good video, thank you for posting!
I just rebuild mine on a 2013 gt I have exactly the same wear on my gears, and I need a bigger shim, not the smaller, even though the book is asking for decrease pinion ring shim. Go figure.
3:73 Gears in 8.8" differential? Where did you get that kind of ring & pinion? I can't imagine how tiny the pinion is. Toothpick sized pinion? And your crawl rstio is way exceeding a jeep wrangler's. Wow!
I know this is an old vid, but was your car throwing any codes while this was going on? I’m getting p0008 and p0017, and I’m leaning toward a slipped reluctor wheel rather than timing chain issue, but this has me thinking. Were you going to do the chains and then discovered the collapsed tensioner? Thanks
