In this episode I install the Ford Explorer 5.0 H.O. V8 and AOD 4-speed automatic into my 1968 Mustang. In preparation, I clean and paint the engine bay, swap out the inline 6 engine mounts for factory V8 ones for the V8 conversion, change the Explorer rear-sump for a Mustang front-sump oil pan, replace the oil pickup tube, and install a custom oil dipstick. I also drain the AODE transmission and remove the pan.

Once did a 67 stang with a 6bang ,24hrs to completely remove engine and drive train and replaced with 351c C6 and 9in rear end ! We installed headers and spark plugs prior to install! It will fit! PS all with hand tools ,we had floor jack and engine crane !!other than that wrenches and ratchets!!

Instead of climbing on the engine you can use a ratchet strap on the front to make it tilt more and no chance of personal injury which isn’t as fun, but ya know

@noboltsleftbehind 9 месяцев назад

I laughed too hard at seeing those exhaust welds. I understand the pain... currently rebuilding my '75 Maverick's C4. I am swapping the I6 250 for a 5.0 HO from a '92 F150. I had a guy do some exhaust work a couple of years ago, and they had welds that looked just as bad if not worse than yours. Also, I tried way too long to get that length of exhaust out and trying to finesse the curves around the rear axle. I ended up getting annoyed and took a Sawzall to it, haha. Good work, I am enjoying the series!

@noboltsleftbehind 9 месяцев назад

For real, exhaust shops can be seriously hit or miss. It's inspired me to attempt my own custom exhaust build for this project. Sounds like a cool build you have there, good luck on the swap!

@ethanatwell2478 9 месяцев назад

@@noboltsleftbehind Good idea! What type of welding do you use? I am doing some research, and Mig welding seems like the way to go, but stick welding is cheaper. (Albeit harder to master.)

@@ethanatwell2478 I mig weld (with shielding gas). It's been very easy for me to use so far, perfect for exhaust tubes.

Nice swap, you may need to modify your export brace to fit the upper intake manifold.

@noboltsleftbehind 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, I think you’re right. Depending on where the intake ends up, my plan is to either cut and weld the stock one or rebuild it completely with steel tube and heim joints.

@brandonloveday 9 месяцев назад

They do make an actual plug for the dipstick hole. I got it from O'Reilly's, added a drop of sealer and hammered it in place. Very interesting solution for your dipstick dilemma. Any issues with your steering rack/exhaust clearance?

@noboltsleftbehind 9 месяцев назад

Didn't know that, good to know. So far no issues with the exhaust, but the steering linkage and hydraulic ram do seem to have issues. I'm addressing it in the next episode, but basically the engine required a little re-positioning.

@laautoworks 9 месяцев назад

You will hate the aod unless it just cruising it and only Shorty's are going to work for the aod

@noboltsleftbehind 9 месяцев назад

It will be used for cruising probably the majority of the time, though I do plan on taking it racing occasionally. Is it slow shifting? I think mine might actually be an AODE if that makes a difference, I’m still figuring out the exact model

@laautoworks 9 месяцев назад

@@noboltsleftbehind I have the Aode it's not that it's slow shifting is actually a good daily trans the problem is gearing ull need to adjust the rear gear to compensate for the lack of torque the aod robs horsepower due to high gearing a good 3.73 should put it in the rite place for some fun and have the ability to cruise no problems

@kirbyyork7669 5 месяцев назад

I will be honest, I thought on these explorer engines the crankshaft rotates the other way, but from what I’m getting from this video is the water pump turns the other way not the crankshaft am I correct?

@noboltsleftbehind 5 месяцев назад

Yes, crankshaft turns the normal direction which is clockwise when standing in front of the car looking at the front of the engine. Water pump spins opposite

I am doing the same thing into a 1967 Ford Falcon. I bought a front sump oil pan as you did, what timing cover and water pump did you use when you switched to front sump?

@noboltsleftbehind 6 месяцев назад

Nice! I just kept the same timing cover and water pump from the Explorer, oil pan bolted up just fine.

@zachlister2162 6 месяцев назад

I'm not sure how I missed the dipstick in side of pan. That was what I was looking for. You have no idea how helpful your videos have been. The only thing that could help a bit more would be part numbers on some things. Thanks for all the extra work to film this.@@noboltsleftbehind
