Some people like futher ado.

Dang it;;; I watched all this and it looks like it might be a Windsor engine but he never says. Now on the Holly website they don’t specifically sell 351 Cleveland sniper kits so I’m guessing the install here was on a Windsor engine.

Good video, my doors aren't this worn ('84 c20), but this seems like a good fix, I'm just curious why you didn't go with Bondo filler as opposed to JB weld, nothing against it really other than bondo setting up quicker. Great idea, thanks! Have you rehabbed your vent windows yet? That's a party.

At first I thought you were just stupid. Now I see you are that, plus lazy.

Thumbs up.

Thanks for the video. Giving the sizes of the tools helps a lot as well.

Factory did not use gaskets on the exhaust manifolds as you don't need them and they just cause problems. As long as the head and manifold surfaces are flat it will seal fine. You also won't have problems with the bolts backing off. They back off with gaskets because the gaskets relax and when that happens you loose the bolt clamping force which is also why the gaskets fail. The other reason the factory did not use gaskets is get better heat transfer iron to iron.

Hey, great vid. Just wondering about the strut rod bushing stack up picture. Is the first washer on the rod, (engine side) on backwards?

Great channel, thanks for the videos. I have a 1963 falcon I'm dropping in a 302 and T5 from a 88 mustang with rebuilt gt40p heads and sanderson ff6-302-p, did you have any issues with the headers sealing up against the heads? I've heard that the exhaust ports and headers dont quite match up making them hard to seal. Thanks again, and any tips would be appreciated :) Also - how does she drive?! would love to see more videos

I know this is two years old but I was wondering what cam you used. I plan on rebuilding my 70 Mach 351 in the near future. Thanks.

Do you have a link to this kit?

Good luck with the AOD, can't say i had any luck with mine , lots of money wasted many times. And for engine mounts factory mounts work fine , and less vibration, just drill thought the lh mount, use a counter sink allen bolt with a nylock nut , don't tighten up leave some clearance- no more breaking mounts, works great

Have you had any issues with the sniper kit since the install?

20:10 😂😂

Thanks for the videos. What oil pump brand did you use?

Coolness brother. Reading the comments, I see that you smoked the trans. Sorry about that. Any idea how that happened given that you set the TV pressure correctly? It looks like a used (not rebuilt) trans. Did the mighty Cleveland finish it off? Looks like you may be using a Lokar throttle cable. If so, can you give us the part number. Keep up the good work buddy.

I just bought a 74 Nova and my plastic door panels are in about the same condition, I'm glad I came across this video but I have some questions. How long will this fix last? can the edge sealer be painted over with the 2 in 1 paint and primer or do you think I should use some self etching primer first? like you i'm not looking for it to be PERMANANT but I do want it to last a year or so before I have to replace them because idk if you have priced them but they are EXPENSIVE.

Thanks for talking about the limited slip and whether you need to add the friction modifier fluid or not. Every other video glosses over that, but it’s pretty import.. and I learned that the hard way.

Bergman Auto Craft makes very nice steering & suspension kits. I converted my '69 Swinger to '73-up K-member, suspension & steering pieces since I had to go through it all anyways...before anybody gets upset, the 340 was yanked out in about '78 and a '68 383 powertrain was installed along with wedging the Road Runner rear end in by the original owner (it was all shackled up & air shocks, totally hillbilly engineering). Not cheap, but it is a massive transformation

Why do you not provide a link to the parts?

What motor mounts did you use ,I have a 70 dart trying to find mounts for the same 360 motor?

WOW!!! Thank you for this!! I was about to order the kit for my Mustang! I run an edelbrock... never had a problem with it, I just wanted EFI... If it ain't broke... THANK YOU!!

One bad thing about a AOD and a old car is that if you know the wiring on the trans the car can be stolen in like 1 min by just using the trans. Came across this with my '69 Torino. TV adjustment was fine using Locar kit.

Did i miss it? What trans is this?

We popped an AOD into our 73 Mach 1 Three years ago. Terrific move. It helped bring back the upper end performance of our power train. The original engine was a 302 2v with a C4 and 2.79:1 rear axle gear set. The prior owner repaced the 302 with a street/strip built 351W (not C), and the 2.79:1 gears with a 3.5:1 tractionlok unit. It raaan great, but the built 351 power eventually caused the c4 to give up the ghost, so rather than rebuild it and beef it up, I decided to pop in a rebuilt and beefed up AOD. Wow! We have our high end performance back, and with an engine capable of pushing it through the air resistance at high speeds. At highway speeds we are turning almost 2,000 RPM, as opposed to just over 3,000 RPM. That leaves a lot in reserve for "blowing out the carbon" at WOT. heh heh... kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXfPYXVjptKfgqs

As a fellow dad i appreciate the corny dad jokes lol

Why not just make it a manual. Needs that third pedal.

Nice video, when I did my 3G change over on the tab I drilled out the metric threads and tapped a 3/8-16 so it would be normal fit.

Who did your balancing? I was looking around and could not find anyone.

You have you have to cut the sleeves????? dayumm

After all this time was it worth it? I have a 64 HT with a 302 I put in and no speedo (since 1979 lol) but all the other gauges work- no dash lights again since 1979

I did not watch much of your video. I have not seen a Ford engine since flathead that did not have the rods stamped. I hvve never used platigauge tioo check clearance. I measuere eerythibg. Inside mide and outside mike. You are years behind how to build an engine. I woreked in NASCAR engine shop so I knos...

Schroeder’s dad? Love the vids btw, your fairlane and dart are sick!

great video. Looks like you have a great understanding of fox body suspension. I have a 90 GT that has a trashed original suspension. Its a 331 procharged stroker and Im interested in buying a quality suspension. The car will be just a street car/cruiser. Is there any benefit to putting in a k member? Seems like way too much work for what Im looking to do with my car. Thanks

did you use a different floor shifter ?

I’ve watched five of these videos from other people that came up in the search before this one and this is by far the best demonstration on what you need to do to get this in the car

Back in my day as an army aviation mechanic, safety wire pliers were forbidden. Sure would have been nice to have them.

Just did this job! Super cool well worth it but I’m a lot more nervous since the c4 I had before was pretty much bullet proof and the aod is supposedly very picky about its adjustments. Just an at home diy mechanic

Hey there, liked your vid here on the install, have you gone thru a long tunnel, or a mountain area when the GPS signal is lost? How does speedo behave during loss of signal ? I've always wondered what living with a GPS speedometer would like? 🙏...Thanks.

Thanks man, very helpful 👍

They should have had these from the factory. Would had helped them largely against the 82-92 Fbody cars

Hey Jason, I’m looking to install a Hyperspark on my 70 Mach 1 351c. I have a Holley Sniper similar to your build. I have a shaker setup on the Mustang. Does the distributor sit higher than the factory distributor? If it does, approximately how much taller? Thanks and great video!

Not your Fault - the ADDCO 150 front sway bar "Does Not FIT" these #Mopar #Abody cars. Had the same problem on my 69 Barracuda v8, tried it with after market shock mounts - had your problem. Bought OEM lower control arms, now the arms reach but are 2.5" too narrow for the Tabs. Grrrr.... Lower OEM Tab holes, hole -2- hole is 46" . ADDCO Sway bar is 45" end to end putting the eyelets at 43". Seeking problem resolution is why I found your vid. Think i am going to take the bar to a machine shop and see if they can bend each arm out 1" (TL 2") without heating it. (Wish me luck... It's a 1 1/8" THICK BAR!).

that Addco k-frame mounting set up is god awful. can't imagine why they designed it that way. the hellwig is a much nicer set up.

💦 *PromoSM*

I know this has been out for a while but I just wanted to say very nice car. I also like that you fix some of the issues that comes with owning a 50 year old car.

Nice to see the new post!!!

Great video 👍

I see you’re running a circuit breaker for each fan. Are you running a relay for each fan as well or just one?
