It finally came time to remove the old engine and transmission from my #FairmontProject. It's sad that this car will never be in stock form again, but it was always my intention to make this car more than it ever was from the factory. Removing the engine and transmission was the first step in that process.
This video will also be helpful if you need to remove one of these straight 6's from a fox body. The process is identical.

@LowVoltage_FPV 8 лет назад

Last week I took my wife out to see a used car, and when I pulled into the guys yard, what did I see way in the back of the yard? A yellow Fairmont! With a roots blower poking out of the hood! I casually said to the guy "Is that a fox body Fairmont?" He looked surprised, but said yes it was. I said that the fox body was a good car to build as it shares alot with the mustang, and again he looked surprised. I asked about the blower, how much boost he was using, compression ratio, etc. I looked like a hero, knowing the car, etc. He dropped the price he was asking for the used car my wife had come to look at. Maybe because I seemed to know alot about cars? Just to show you that these videos are more than entertainment. Go Eric!

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

I'm happy to help. ;)

@mikeh6876 8 лет назад

I remember your engine pull video - I think it was a Dodge truck - where the floor was uneven and you had to struggle to get the hoist over a hump. Thank God for the new shop with a flat floor and the lift. Loved the video. By the by, I used to use an old discarded flat yellow canvas tow strap to pull engines. Seemed like the hoist hook did not slip as much.

@craftchest 2 года назад

That's awesome. Seeing the seatbelt being used brought back a flood of memories. I once used a seatbelt from a C-130 to remove and engine. It was stuck in my gear after a jump and I didnt notice it until I got to my unit. Kept it because I knew it would come in handy one day, and it did.

@nathanielowensleigh7513 8 месяцев назад

Dude. Your delivery is perfect. You sound like a responsible version of my buddy. Thank you for a clean video.

@alexanderfard5300 5 лет назад

Hey Eric, I’ve been watching your videos for a long time. I really appreciate the time you put into them. I’m restoring a 1966 mustang and I followed every single step in this video to remove my engine and transmission. This entire project is an amazing guide to restoring almost any classic.

@1995flyingspur 3 года назад

Totally! It's because of him that I was able to rebuild my own 8.8 differential! What he is doing is so priceless, I don't think he really knows.

@highfructosefun7503 8 лет назад

I love seeing everything finally coming together! This is going to be one hell of a car when you're done with it.

@mlke4258 8 лет назад

You, and I have the same Amber glasses. Your videos are truly invaluable.. Been watching for many years. Learned tons of stuff in such a short amount of time.. Very appreciative, and grateful for you sharing your knowledge, and expertise.. Can't wait to see this Fairmont when it's tearing ass down the 1/4mi...

@jshomeservices2925 4 года назад

Dude. I love your video. You don’t waste time, you show everything and get right to the point. Keep it up.

@TheOnGridHomestead1 8 лет назад

I finally subscribed. I'm pretty impressed you removed the old engine without forgetting to disconnect something. Seems like there's always something that is forgotten, at least with me there is. Don't beat yourself up about the brakes. Some time ago when I had my 66 Pontiac Tempest, all drum brakes, I managed to put the brake shoes on wrong. Of course I didn't realize it until all the tires were back on and the the car was back on the ground. That was a lesson well learned! All I have to not deal with now are the little drum brakes for the emergency brake, but since I'm in CA those will never have to be changed. No rust.

@TheOnGridHomestead1 8 лет назад

Of course there are the cars with front disc and rear drum, but here in CA those back drum brakes rarely need attention. I have a 1975 Ford Granada my parents bought new in 1975. For the most part it's sat in the garage for over 30 years. I used to start it up every now and then but haven't done that for about 10 years or so. It's absolutely beautiful, under the car cover and all the crap on top of it. It's been under that car cover for so long I've forgotten what it looks like. It's had the same tires for over 30 years, the battery is dead, the carburetor will need to be taken apart and cleaned, gas changed, cylinders oiled before starting, etc. I've come to the conclusion that I will never do anything with the Granada so it's time to let it go. I will give it to somebody who will swear to me they will take care of it and it won't end up in a junk yard. I'm not kidding about the last part.

@andrewbennett4224 7 лет назад

this looks like way too much fun. I hope you have as much fun as I have watching it.

@dandel351 8 лет назад

Eric if I was doing this I would just leave the front tyres on disconnect everything then lift the body and roll the motor out on the K member with a floor jack under the trans . That's how I changed motors on my old '70's Cortina with a similar set up. It was the easiest engine swap I've ever done. Not sure how the suspension is on a Fairmont though in regards to what the front springs ride on. Doing engine swaps with your own lift must be cool though. Can't wait to see the new motor go in and power down the road!

@bizbot1655 8 лет назад

I have to add that I think Brian is an excellent cameraman. He really knows what he's doing and you feel like you are there because he aims the camera at what you intend to look at and hold there for the right amount of time. Also, he holds the camera steady, unlike some RU-vidrs that get their camera holding inspirations from Modern Family. High-five to Brian!

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

I hired him for a reason. Thanks for noticing. I'll pass along the comment.

@bizbot1655 8 лет назад

Thanks for doing that, Eric. I commented about it due to the fact I used to work in the entertainment industry and car mechanics/restoration is a long time hobby of mine. I'm able to see it from both angles. I wanted to give credit where credit is due.

@zx8401ztv 8 лет назад

You made that look all too easy :-D. :-D. Yes that car lift is bloody usefull, its a shame you had to struggle in the very early days. That old shop was depressing, but i suppose the conditions you worked in linked you to all the people that were struggling, you would not be the same man without it.

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

Yes, we've come a long way from the old shop. Honestly though, this was an easy engine/transmission to remove.

@zx8401ztv 8 лет назад

I like old cars too, less crap in the way lol :-D

@kdmq 8 лет назад

Unless I am misunderstanding something, I believe the Fairmont is being converted from an auto to a stick in this restoration. Therefore, I am looking forward to seeing how you will deal with adding the clutch pedal, clutch master cylinder and lines.

@Zomgwtfbbq1228 8 лет назад

@chipholland9 8 лет назад

My college car was the slightly-nicer twin of the Fairmont - a 1981 Mercury Zephyr. Also had the 200 CID I-6 motor. Only good thing about it was it was easy to de-carbon the pistons every few years because they faced straight up.

@springtimehappiness5216 8 лет назад

Hi Eric ! Look at how simple the engine is.My first car was a 1961 Buick Special.Do you like to work on those older radiators ? They were made of copper.My dad and me used to take the radiator to a shop to be soldered and leak tested.Theen they spray painted it.Have a good day.

@Madmick82 8 лет назад

Hood goes on the roof when not in use, roadkill style

@travis4798 8 лет назад

We did that when we rebuilt the engine in our Lincoln, tossed a blanket on the roof and flipped the hood upside down onto it.

I like to think that Camerman Brian is fast becoming something of an expert because of him filming all of these videos :)

@abitnutz6747 8 лет назад

When you began this project I was sure you would drag it out and it would take forever to get anywhere. My apologies. This is an awesome series because you show that a reasonably normal gearhead can do this and do it in one's own lifetime. I always liked the idea of a Fairmont sleeper. It's so innocuous. It's a car that you wouldn't hesitate to blow your horn at if it lingered at a red light for more than half a second. Little would the horn blower suspect until the plain wrapper Fairmont coated his windshield with melted rubber as you lit up the tires in response.

@davidrasch2187 8 лет назад

Puts me in mind of my 1986 dodge caravan LE mitsubishi/mikuni engine. Not even the shop manuals help me puzzle out the vacuum lines. Maybe I need another project car.

@bendude6748 8 лет назад

Hi Eric, been watching your channel for a few years since back when you were in the old shop, your videos have helped me out a lot with my car problems and you are my favourite youtube mechanic, you seem like a great guy. Also really enjoying the Fairmont build, great project! This is actually my first post on youtube as I never had an account before so I just decided to get one and subscribe to your channel too!

@lexmaximaguy8788 8 лет назад

yay..the holy grail of the fairmont videos!!

@EchoOfGecko 8 лет назад

Maybe this is s dumb question, but if you're going to be replacing the k-member anyway, and you have a lift, why not just unbolt the k-member and drop the whole thing, with the engine/trans still attached right out the bottom?

@DanielRichards644 8 лет назад

thats what I asked too, it's what the f-body guys do when they swap motors, much easier then dealing with clearances lifting the thing. I think he's just milking it for a many videos as possible so he can pay for the build. like next video will be just the removal of the k-member and front suspension, then the next video after that the prepping of the new parts (if we are lucky the install of the new front suspension and k-member) then a video dedicated to the battery relocation and another to some other crap I haven't thought of then maybe by christmas we might actually see the motor go in.

@EngineeringVignettes 8 лет назад

These are also geared to help others (somewhat). Not everyone has a car hoist. - Eddy

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

Because the only thing I could drop it on is jack stands and then I'd have to break it down anyway.

@DanielRichards644 8 лет назад

Deathlok67 most the guys i've seen do motor swaps by dropping the K-member did it in there driveways by lifting the front end of the car with the engine hoist till it was high enough to roll the setup out on a dolly they positioned underneath ahead of time.

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

I plan on getting or making a roll around stand to use for things like that before I do the transmission swap on the Vigor. It's easier to take that engine/trans out from the bottom with the K member in that car. I have no regrets for how I did this one. It wasn't difficult or time consuming at all. Also, the bolts for the K member are right next to the coil springs and are difficult to get to as you'll see in the next video.

@MrKornhole 5 лет назад

Eric after seeing this post for the first time it brought back alot of memories for me, when I ran modified race cars at a few of the local dirt tracks in the Carolina's. The engines we ran were modified 6 cyl. Ford motors. After stroking and boring out the block we were able to get close to 320 cid out of a 300. I do like the V8 you built for the car , but wonder why you didn't do a build using the 6? A turbo 6cyl would of been wild.

@AF29007 8 лет назад

hoo boy it's getting exciting now - can't wait to see the new engine in it

@gagelee6551 8 лет назад

Suggestions on paint? 1. Gun metal gray 2. Black with white flakes 3. White

@kelli217 8 лет назад

I am curious about the V6 under the shelf there. Also, I learned that there are plenty of performance parts available for the Ford 200 inline 6. A RU-vid user by the name of SuperKONR built one that he estimated at 240hp gross, though he had some issues getting it tweaked and tuned.

@williamwilde141 8 лет назад

I think that's the v6 from the engine swap from the Acura, (unloved Acura) there are several videos from that which were very good.

@aswallace88 5 лет назад

As soon as he said "The bolts are old and rusty, and I have no intention..." I KNEW there was gonna be a reciprocating saw involved in removing the exhaust.

@danielj1063 8 лет назад

Timely notification came up just as I'm pondering whether to build another conversion. First time to keep and rebuild (read: "turboize"), an I-6 instead of "no replacement/displacement hi-po" mentality, but each to their own. My worn out, foreign, early 90's, mechanical injection, sleeper, will howl, but therein lie couple issues. Not much aftermarket (glutton for punishment), and, do I have "one more" in me? Put a 351 Cleveland/C6/9inch (L-slip, but she remedied that long ago), into wagon format like your F-mont during late 80's among other projects thru to approx 7-8 years ago, so do the chronological math. Seatbelt is great idea (seen lots of kooky contraptions), it's strong enough to use (in a pinch), for tow/transport, etc., with CAUTION. Great stuff, Eric. For me, decision comes after we source out parts (viva "hinternet"), then will enlighten vehicle name if "upgrade" goes forward. You inspire me/us, tho. ps - If I were U.S. citizen, would have voted for "D.N."

@devongomes3411 8 лет назад

OK @EricTheCarGuy i have a question for you. I work at the biggest Honda dealership in New England. The other day an 04 Honda element came in with the costumer complaining about the a/c not working, they had brought it to some MOM and POP shop who could not figure it out. I bring the car in confirming the issue. I being to daig the car which pays 1hr. I check everything from top to bottom i find out that there is no a/c pressure. I check the switch it is good. I look for a break in the line, i cannot find one. So now i been on the car for four days and said screw it I am replacing the switch. I replace the switch still no pressure. Finally i decide to call tech line and they told me to do a valve adjustment. Finally I get a/c pressure and the problem is solved. Yes the valve adjustment was off only minutely but the idle was fine. So my question to you is why the valve adjustment fixed the a/c pressure issue.

awesome heck yea more Fairmont lol looked like it had some oil leakes and stuff with it everywhere underneath it and are u gonna paint or something clean the engine bay part before u put the newer engine in that way there's no oil grease on the other one

@dericksilva0919 8 лет назад

hey eric, this question has nothing to do with this video but I'm curious to something and know you'll have the answer. when doing a timing chain, does it really matter having the colored links lined up? or if you have all your timing marks set correctly the timing chain could be put on any way? just curious

@JB_Royal_Ambassador 8 лет назад

Why not make dedicated grounds? Headlights, Alternator, Head, Block, Body, Frame, Fuel Pump all routed back to a grounding stud...then stud to negative battery terminal. Then have a large + and - dedicated to your starter which is the largest amp draw. Using the body as a ground is not ideal even if it is rust free and your connections are clean. Steel is not the best conductor. This can cause rust as well. Sending electrons out to do work with a good battery is one thing, why not give them a good path home? Your ignition system spark will work better, lights will be brighter, alternator will be more stable, fuel pump will last longer. No hunting electrical ghosts and gremlins because of poor grounds. Military and industrial vehicles have dedicated grounds as standard. I did them on my 79' Jeep CJ7. Why not get the most out of the new equipment you are installing? From a fellow retired mechanic Love your videos!

@vulcan1753 8 лет назад

I like to remove the transmission first, from underneath, before pulling the engine. Notice how close that oil pan came to the radiator support. I accidentally damaged the radiator support on a Pinto while trying to pull the engine/trans out in one piece, a long time ago. On a Pinto, and I believe the Fairmont as well, the radiator support is pretty flimsy and easily bent, yet it is what holds the whole front end of the car together.

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

You could do that, but this was faster and nothing got hurt.

@vulcan1753 8 лет назад

Sorry, did not mean for that to come across as offensive. I have done it your way many times, and only had one mishap. But I tend to be somewhat OCD about working on my own cars. I don't have to work against a time clock, I actually enjoy being very deliberate and methodical. I'm really enjoying your Fairmont videos. Nice to see someone working on an older car, and I love what you are doing to it.

No worries. Everyone has their own way.

How about, I found your videos very interesting I have a question about a problem that I have with my car, I also have a fors fairmont 1981 6cid, well what happens is that it does not accelerate more than 40 miles it only accelerates when it is in Parking and thoroughly explores the carburetor and drive does not go more than 40 miles if the floor feels like it kills and I have to take my foot off the accelerator so that it does not kill and to clean the carburetor, change the gas and remain the same, you Can you give me an opinion or know what happens to you?

@DanielRichards644 8 лет назад

being that you are switching to a new K-member and suspension upfront for the new motor would it not have been simpler to simply drop the whole front end out the bottom? or was there not clearance between the shock towers?

No. The only thing I have to drop it on is jack stands and I'd still need to break it down anyway.

Once ready to pull i would have had the car on the ground and used the car lift to pull the engine. Its always been the easier route compared to an engine hoist. Just roll the car back slowly as needed to get the transmission out while lifting.

Hello, I installed an engine and transmission together in my 2003 Honda Accord 4 cylinder, now I can’t get the car out of park. I must’ve did something wrong with the shifter cable when connecting it back to the transmission and the gear shifter. Do you know What i did wrong? And how can I adjust the cable ? can you share your insight please Thank You
