Ran into you and your dad today under the SUNOCO sign at Martinsville Speedway, my nine year old asked a thousand questions but I think he couldn’t put together who you were. My wife and I took the kids over to check out your dads truck and the Fairmont, amazed at what you’ve done! And thank you for not another LS build in a Ford! I felt like a kid meeting you and your dad. I spent a lot of time overseas supporting soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan after I got out of the Army as a contractor. Just wanted to say thanks for the videos you put out, they helped me and my family get through some hard times while I was gone. I couldn’t muster the words, didn’t have my special sunglasses that hide emotion.

@ericthecarguy 5 лет назад

It was an absolute pleasure meeting you and your family. Sorry I wasn’t there to get you T-shirt’s. Shoot me an email with your address and sizes and I’d be happy to send you some. My dad is also a vet. Thank you for your service.

I always liked the old TBI small block units The 350 was reliable and fairly good on gas A little more power than later 4.3 vortec at a little lower rpm band It always did well towing my bass boat Me and my dad got 350,000+ on his TBI 350 Personally i would like one with the 5 speed for towing, but im also partially to the 6.0 although it feels with the LS engines you have to spin them up quite high to get good torque. Awesome truck eric

@ratsbane1 5 лет назад

Awesome video as always man. One thing I will say, even though it's probably already too late, swap out the starter for the small one while you can; the big starter is a poor design along with the tbi system in general (91 with the 350tbi and the 700r4 here lol). I'm actually planning an lm7 with 4l80e swap for mine along with a 5/7 drop and some old trans am snowflake style wheels.

@Funtimes670 5 лет назад

When I drain the radiator I use the pumps you can get at harbor freight and use the smallest hose. Open the cap and run the hose down inside all the way down and start pumping it into a clean bucket(unless flushing). Once you get it started it will continue to drain until it’s empty. It’s a little slower but a lot less messy. I have also used it to pump the coolant into the overflow(with the return pinched off) low enough to change the water pump or change thermostat.

@Funtimes670 5 лет назад

Oh, you can also use the same kind of pump to drain the transmission so it is mostly empty when you drop the pan.

Good video, i realize this is 2 years on but still, you don't have to remove the core, you can remove the tbi unit, and use a way smaller chain and you can clear it, its tight but ive done it twice, you did it the easiest way tho. good job :) also you can remove the wires from the tbi, just squeeze the plastic fingers on top of the injectors and pull up, then slide the wires out of the tbi, Love the vid Keep it up

A better fix for this vac lines is to replace them with stainless brake lines. Not something a shop would do but when it's your car and you're not deleting them, why not? The rubber vacuum fittings though, treat them with a good rubber conditioner and reuse them. Cheap replacements will last a year or two, if you treat your oem stuff right, it could last forever. If anyone knows of a sure fire way too get those rubber fittings that aren't junk(other than salvaging them from a wrecking yard), I'd appreciate the info.

@supersport1986 5 лет назад

An easier way to take the hood off for a no adjustment reinstallation take the end caps off the cowl grill and you can access the hinge pivot bolts you take the top spring bolts loose and then lay a hammer or something next to the hood latch lay the hood down on the propping device that you have chosen and then remove the hinge pivot bolts lift the hood off no adjustment required to re install I have done it by myself many times but 2 people definitely make it easier

After about the 4th time of pulling an engine out of these trucks i finally remember to disconnect the fuel lines from the bell housing.

I usually remove the fenders (inner and outer) and rad support as one unit. It's a bit big, but it'll stand on end and makes working in the engine bay WAY easier.
