@Spencer-sb4ef thank you!!

I think he’s just illegally parked you know like the diesel trucks do at the super chargers 😂

I fell in the parking lot today. Hit the back of my head on the ground HARD!!

@@Allen-c8d5c I personally have not heard of flashark before. What kind of products?

lol real torque

@MidwestF150 ive worked on a few of them that have over 250k on them all original. Biggest think I can say about them is it's all about the maintenance. All of my trucks I don't run the 5k to 10k oil change intervals the manufacturer recommends. I personally only do 3k. These engines are so reliant on the oiling systems its just better to keep nice clean oil in it.

@@fordtechsteveI really appreciate this Steve! I’m trying to get my truck to 500k miles and I have a 3.5l EcoBoost. I’m currently doing 2,500 OCI. I’m currently using Valvoline Restore and Protect and I plan on using it indefinitely. What do you think about that plan?

@@MidwestF150 well the cleaner ya keep it the better. I hope ya get it to that mileage.

@@fordtechsteve thanks Steve!

@@MidwestF150 no problem.

You will probably have to join me for a ride once its done

@ I definitely will!

Merry Christmas to you too!

@billkolb5706 its one of the matco tools flags hanging there. The American flag can be seen from inside the truck cab

Well that is true.

Thank you! I appreciate you watching.

Remember he drove a ford lightning. Haha

@ technically it wasn’t his though but yes that makes sense for sure!

@Enigma-Sapiens that is our current plan. The past research I had done made it sound like our block was to old to modify but some ingo was shared in the comments proving we can convert it. Once we have the funds we will be pulling the engine and getting it cleaned back up and ready to go

@@brettalder3129 its actually just a stock one that we picked up from lmr. My dad actually built the little bracket to hold it up.

@ thanks

@Hjfvvdst yeah i think once spring comes around we will be doing a little more teardown. Owner of the car needs to make a little money for parts. Lol

@fordtechsteve I've been at this spot before. Everything is broke, and so am I.🙂

@Hjfvvdst yeah you can have a racecar or money. Not both. Haha

@arturozarate1752 so from what ive seen our block is to old to convert it to run the spider and dog bone so looks like we will be going the t bar style.

@@fordtechsteve wait....how old, and what are you seeing that says you can't use the dog bones and spider? I ran a '70 Mexican block with dog bones, spider, Ford Racing OEM style lifters, and a small base circle cam.

@@fordtechsteve I think it's a #7 drill bit, 1/4 - 24 tap, qty 2 : 1/4-24×3/4" studs, 2 nylock nuts. The cam to crank spacing is the same....so the lifter valley is the same width so it'll use the same 302 spider. A little layout fluid and a center punch.....mock up the spider, punch, drill(careful not to go all the way through), tap(use bottoming tap or grind down the beginning taper of the tap once it starts), stud, and boom....

Brad Penn oil for flat tappets. At least the cam and lifters have a fighting chance. No reason not to be roller in this day and age though.

@arturozarate1752 yeah i forgot to bring my electric ratchet home that day.

@@fordtechsteve man the struggle of bringing work home.

@trentdawg2832 that will be a cool upgrade for that. We had a 67 with a 289 but the car was just to rusted out for what we wanted to do with it.

@ yeah ours has the typical floor pan spots nothing major though….previous owner did a stop sign repair with it …years ago , but i told my son when i paint it that new front pans are goin in !!!! I wanna paint it NOW but my son likes the paint and scratches/dings on it so i guess we will wait a couple more years🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

We will be doing that once its back up and running. I would kimda like to get different wires that have 45 degree bends on the plug end. One of the boots is resting on one of the primaries.

@@fordtechsteve 😬 yeah, they don't like that. For years I've battled with plug wires. Always trying to find a cleaner way. Something really presentable ya'know? I tried running the wires in the most direct route to the plug. This kept them as short as possible(resistance/foot), but that ran them over the valve covers and I had a new set of Canton cast aluminum polished covers. At the time they were the sweetest looking out. So I finally ended with a 50ft spool of MSD 8.5 wire, 90's at the cap, 135's at the plug, wrapped in black Tecchflex w/shrink, and some aluminum separators that mounted to long 1/4" allen cap screws similar to the OEM. Personally that's the cleanest way. A distant 2nd would be those airplane wing things that cover the wires along the valve cover rail. Then that damn coil wire all the way over there....I changed mine like the SN95s. Then I stuffed a 32v 4.6 in there with COP. Done.

@@fordtechsteve the Chevys got it right with running them under the headers.

@arturozarate1752 its weird the only one we have the issue with is the wire on cylinder #4

@fordtechsteve with shorty headers, yeah that primary has know where to go.

U knew it was coming. Lol

@@krr711 it was. We started to really hear it about 5 miles away from the house.

Thank you.

Yeah she done. Haha
