Part two of this epic journey trying to figure out how to put this 302 together and the cheap! In this episode, we put the heads on and setup the valvetrain. Join this channel to get access to perks: / @veteranrevivals
Sounds kind of sketch, considering piston slap on cold starts is normal for this conversion??? Eh, maybe I'll give it a shot when the other engine is built and this one can get sent to the moon 😂
@@VeteranRevivals He mentioned that in the video, I guess it was an old dirt track thing back in the day. I planned on doing that on mine as well as running solid roller lifters instead of hydraulic with a tame hydraulic cam. I don't drive mine everyday and only when it's AZ "warm" so piston slap shouldn't be too bad. I'll let you know. 😎👍
I got a heat reducing spacer for my upper and lower intake on my 89 stock mustand 5.0 for around $100 back in mid 90s. that really reduced the heat of the upper intake and made a noticeable increase in power
@@VeteranRevivals I only had a few bolt on part for my stang. I also had a blaster two ignition coil. K&N air filter underdrive pullies and magna flow mufflers with pipes. I wanted to do more but I was living in a condo community in Atlanta at the time so that limited my abilities greatly. BBK has some parts you should look at in the future.
Hi man look I think your doing great on your builds and your videos so let em keep on hating on you it's not going to stop you for being a great content maker😊😅😂
Hello, I have a bronco with a 302 EFI engine and GT40 head, I would like to install some 1.6 roller rockers, could you recommend a model? Should I change the push rods?
The roller rockers I used for this video are pretty good, I changed the pushrods because these were worn and unusable. If your pushrods are in good condition you may not have to change them.
You can’t adjust those rockers like that. You have to put the cylinder at top dead center then adjust the intake and exhaust on that cylinder then turn the crank and do the next cylinder in line of the firing order. 13726548 is the firing order.
Adding 3/4 turn preload is just adding 3/4 turn preload. It doesn't matter where the lifter is in it's cycle. Lash has to be checked at base, but preload on a stud roller rocker is just preload.
Maybe the people questioning your abilities should come to your house and put the engine together for you, otherwise it’s none of their business. You don’t owe them an explanation.
Should have just LS swapped it😂😂😂…..i have a roller 302 in the garage i have to build too for my sons ‘67 mustang….but id be lying if i said i didnt wanna throw one of my spare LS motors in there……..fox body is an easy LS swap …first gen 60’s mustangs…..not so much!!!……although the 302 were building has aluminum heads with 58cc chambers and better flat top pistons with a higher compresssion ring hieght (from summit) giving us around 10:1 compression give or take depending on head gaskets…..we have all the parts except for the cam….im thinking a 211/220 cam with a 2300/2800 stall in the c4 trans….aiming for about 325hp or somewhere in that neighborhood…….and thats not easy or cheap to do on a small block ford by any means….unless you got boost or laughing gas!!!…..i can get that easily with just a nice tune on a iron 4.8 LS truck motor and damn near 400hp if i were to throw the right cam at it ……litterally for pennies on the dollar compared to the ford 302……but whats done is done and we already have a pile of BRAND NEW parts including the NEW aluminum heads and pistons to go into the freshly machined block…….i already swapped the original C code 289”s garbage intake and 2 barrel carb to a performer RPM intake and an ACE’s killshot EFI unit that will easily swap over to the built 302 when the time comes…..so at the end of it all the kid is gonna have a pretty stout and reliable well laid out late model roller cam efi 5.0 in that old original C code coupe (Fremont car)……..bay area car since day 1……, if it were up to me though when its all said and done, Id sell it for a nice profit and buy a GM product that would easily accept a LS swap in literally 1 weekend……any pre ‘75 GM car would work for me…..preferabbly a 2 door unless its a suburban or a cool malibu wagon or vista cruiser…..but hey, kids nowadays have horrible taste in vehicles
😂😂 all the swap parts for the LS is what costs the 💲💲. Rebuilding all of this with the cam and rockers was about $1100, so it was hard to not give it a try for now.
"Nope, I'm an idiot. Didn't put the thrust plate on" [I was still laughing from you approaching the engine with the timing set upside-down @03:10 - and the "Torque Spec Gag"] This is SO relatable.
Pistons...sorry I thought you had mental telepathy 😂😂..did on my buddy stock eliminator car and picked up a little just by changing 1 with 5 and so on. Kind of like a hidden piston stroke
I just tore down my 95 5.0 as well as another 5.0 I got when I bought a set of new in box svo y302 cylinder heads also I have done this in past on countless other builds as well as had a tank I use to soak parts in blocks heads exc I learned long ago during my first summer working for uncle at his automotive machine shop he taught me that kerosene is absolutely the shit to use also when you heat it oh boy words of wisdom keep it far away from flames sparks exc if you are going to use kerosene especially if you heat it 😮. I used a plastic 55 gallon drum with some heating elements let the last oil leak that baked on the block of the 302 sit for about 3 days block looks great oil gallery all brown stains and that layer of burnt conventional oil all over the crank is gone it was all floating on top I then took a pig pad and let it soak all the oils off top of kerosene
I personally was rebuilding my car for the factory EFI. But after my son's carbureted car, I've decided mine will be carbureted also. Since you already have EFI, it's no doubt cheaper and easier to stay EFI and get tall valved covers and a spacer. But it'll probably run better and definitely be easier to diagnose with a carburetor. If I were where you are, I'd just get the spacer and valve covers.
🎉. Ha . The audio is epic 😄. 7:50 Didgeridoo. 2:38 Lollypop Guild. 4:17 Mr. Can you spare a penny? Engine is looking good so far. Can't wait to hear it Run and light em up!! Don't worry so much about the dust. That's all part of the break-in procedure. Extra break in paste. 😅
