Aluminum Heads and Supercharger Install on the Ford Small Block for the Mustang

[@hondacivicrazy1998]

I have a 302 in my 91 F-150, and I'm currently over hauling it back to factory. This video just answered every question I've ever had on the rebuild. You are the best, and I'll definately be using it once my new heads come in!!!

[@AZCobraman]

I like to put a couple pieces of threaded rod in the bolt holes when I set the intake manifold. Makes getting it on straight really easy.

[@AutoEdits]

That is a great tip! Thanks for that.

[@wildthing3026]

who says money cant buy happiness....thats a nice build..I have a chevy 355 ..with a blower cam...and a 177 weiend shpercharger...

[@ChrisBomber]

wildthing302 question do you need a tune with a supercharger

[@wildthing3026]

Royal Jays just make shure your carburetor is up to the task...and be careful with your timing...

[@RW-zh7kl]

Just randomly found this video, really nice engine build. Ive wanted to put a Weiand 174 on mine, but the price has gone up on them almost $1,000 now.. eek

[@ritchrc13184]

holy crap that motor looks sick man I cant wait to hear that supercharger!!!!

[@AutoEdits]

+Robert Ritchey Yeah Buddy! Me too...

[@terrycarter8929]

If you put a stud in the 4 corners of the intake bolt holes of the head it let's you put the intake on perfectly every time. Take the studs out once you start some of the intake bolts started.

[@GRIPANDSLIP]

thanks for explaining the pollution pump thing, I had wondered about that in the states, here is Aus, pollution equipment is based on the year of the motor and older motors can't go into newer cars

[@AutoEdits]

+Ursh anabi We have a similar thing here...since this engine was pulled from a 1995 Cobra Mustang and is going to live in a 1973, it gets a break on the smog requirements.

[@GRIPANDSLIP]

is that because it is the same family of engine? as in a 302 is a 302 regardless of year?

[@AutoEdits]

+Ursh anabi In the U.S. Any vehicle built before 1975 is fair game to swap whatever you want in but cars after that have to comply to smog regulations.

[@Tact-Mack0397]

+Mackenzie Yarbough Thanks, I'm trying!

[@Texasknowhow]

Excellent!! What a very profound and important step to the build! Looking forward to the next update. Every time I see that car, I can't help but think of the classic James Bond movie "Diamonds Are Forever." :-)

[@AutoEdits]

+Austen Oh now that's a cool throwback! I think people forget that the 73 was also the first actual Eleanor from Gone in 60 Seconds (although both were fastbacks and this thing is a coupe) but I like it and it will be a ton of fun to drive when it's done...and that's what matters most!

[@AustenARW]

[@Mightymilo1975]

may be when you put that main stud for the blower with therad locker instead antiseez... cause you might want those stud not to come loose... just a thought...

[@robertclymer6948]

Very cool Jason! Is there a gasket under the blower housing/manifold? Thanks! Cheers from Motown/Dearborn.

[@Shakerhood69]

Great job, looking forward to hearing that run!!! You chose correct with the thermostat housing, the aftermarket ones leak.

[@AutoEdits]

+Shakerhood69 That's what I thought, it's tempting to put the shiny new stuff on but just cleaning up the old stuff is best sometimes. Thanks for the confirmation!

[@tedstyle3798]

At 4:00 the left side of your block has water holes that your gasket blocks

[@bigpopz666]

great video, i am installing the same blower in my 66 coupe, just one question, what distributor and headers you're planning to use? thanks

[@AutoEdits]

I went with the Flowmaster full length headers that fit perfectly and the msd dist.

[@ernestoriveragalicia9667]

there any Chanel dedicate just for Ford SVT lightning???..

[@alltheboost5363]

love the video.. an awesome build. was a little surprised at some of your explanations for sealant on some of the threads.🤔

[@luketeverino6085]

Miss your videos like this

[@vaioskaliakoudas6388]

13:02 Would a nail polish remover work to clean up that area of the manifold from dirt, oil and grease?

[@megantripp9520]

kinda surprised you didn't use a multy layer steel style gasket and also did you use 2 gaskets and was that to loose a small amount of compression..

[@AutoEdits]

I was told this engine didn't have very high compression to begin with and the terminator EFI can manage the timing for me so we'll see how it goes!

[@davidporowski9512]

FYI should replace the lifters, pushrods, rocker arms all back to original position locations, in order to match cam lobe positions to match wear positions wo accelerated wear positions cross-matched. avoiding abnormal wear positions (cam lobes, pushrods, rocker arms)

[@bison9225]

Awesome work! This kit is going to work on my Ford 302 1972?

[@AutoEdits]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching and saying hey!

[@snakeman8460]

looking for a supercharger for a first gen lightning 351 Windsor motor, anyone know where something like this can be found

[@hectorgomez502]

There is a version of this blower for 351 as well.

[@o2Hayden]

"Belts are for pants" "Bags are for groceries" Ben, do you even have a turbo charged vehicle?

[@chuckman3350]

jegs.com they sell these superchargers

[@PureCountryof91]

M112 Eaton. Thank me later

[@Stig53KR]

In your opinion, how much power can the 302 reliably make (assuming it's not a Dart block). Also, assuming you're going with the T5, how much can that handle?

[@jeepfan971]

General rule of thumb about 500hp for the motor and about 300tq with a stock T5

[@TheRoguelement]

I'm really surprised you didn't at least go 0.30 over or even 0.60 over as the early 302s were more than able to accept the bore change and respond nicely to the increase. I know because My brother in law is a die hard Ford fanatic and has a bunch of big bore 302s

[@Brononomous]

god damn I cant wait for this thing to be finished.

[@AutoEdits]

+Brononomous I know, but it'll get there...lots to do tho

[@Brononomous]

autoedit yea and hey it's moving much faster than my current project so kudos on that one.

[@AutoEdits]

+Brononomous Well, as long as they are BOTH moving...that's important!

[@billmayer6811]

DId you use the 80's v-6 serpentine setup like the instructions say or did you do something else? I would love to know how you set up the pulleys.. Thanks

[@AutoEdits]

+Bill Mayer I used the 1995 serpentine pulley setup with NO Drama at all. Highly recommend it for this install. The only change I made was for the smog pump delete...I'm even going to use the stock tensioner. In another few days I'll measure the belt and do that install and can post the measurement here if that would help.

[@martincillo111]

yes!!... burnouts are getting closer every time!!... like how the videos are getting longer ...saludos from mexico

[@AutoEdits]

+martincillo111 Yeah for Burnouts!!!!!!!! I was worried that the video was too long. Thanks Dude!

[@PeeterPuncher]

Looks sweet but this blower and no intercooler.....a great inefficient air heater that robs more power than it makes.

[@deanmeyer1815]

you are turning the blower opposite to correct rotation. air is forced around the outside of the lobes, not down through the center.

[@AutoEdits]

Good info

[@jordanberry4824]

With a blower I like using ARP studs for the heads.

[@motown862000]

Is there anyway I can use a supercharger from a 2013 gt500 on a 351w?

[@scottmcbride2237]

Looks like your heads could use a good O fashion port and polish job.

[@AutoEdits]

I had them "re-done" at a local shop... does a port and polish do much on a small engine like this?

[@scottmcbride2237]

@@AutoEdits thats cool. I only mentioned it cause their was some metal showing through the gasket. Good job

[@davidbates7712]

@@AutoEdits very nice your project turned out beautiful I'm getting some pointers for my own project off yours

[@slowdaze]

So ready to hear that thing purrrr!

[@AFITgrad86]

I believe you misunderstood the "174 " )or shaver the exact number was) and how it applies. While the number relates to cubic inches its how much air the blower pushes through per rotation. So in our case about 174 inches per rev of the blower which turns at some multiple (overdriven) of engine speed. Thus if your blower turns at twice engine speed it will push more air than the engine displaces causing pressure to build up in the plenum... like putting water into a leaky bucket ... if you put more in than can flow out the level (pressure) will rise. And that's what you want. Atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi so if you are putting 50 percent more air in than can get out the pressure of the air in the plenum should be about 18 -19 or 1,5 bar ... yielding a net increase of about .5 bar above atmospheric or as we say "7 pounds of boost" ... Want more boost? turn the blower faster with a smaller pull on the snout. Too much boost? use a larger pull on the blower. Pretty simple.

[@AutoEdits]

No, I fully understand what this super charger does.

[@scottdeeter6164]

Just recently installed one on my 347 stroker and I was wondering what kind of timing you were running?

[@darrellnunnelley4489]

really enjoy your videos - I am knee deep (wallet) deep in restoring a 67 Mustang and have the original 289 - would like to upgrade motor - will the supercharger fit under the stock flat hood with the dual turn signals - thanks

[@AutoEdits]

+Darrell Nunnelley That is a great hood on the 67...not one to be cut up. I measured today to check for you, and the top of the Wieand 174 supercharger and throttle body sit as high as the stock manifold with a stock air cleaner...so not enough room (I don't think). Give me another month or so to get this motor in my Mustang and I'll throw the hood on to see what the stock hood and this trick Holley low profile air cleaner I got look like.

[@darrellnunnelley4489]

+autoedit Thanks for the quick reply - planned on going with wilwood brakes/rotors and TCP suspension based on your recent videos - would you rebuild the old 289 or do a crate 302 or 351 - want to keep the automatic trans so any ideas are appreciated

[@AutoEdits]

+Darrell Nunnelley I'm glad to hear that some of the parts choices on this project help. All of the stuff in my videos have been top quality parts...no bs. As for engine recommendation...this is the way I would go if I didn't have to spread what budget I have around so much: www.fordracingbyspeedshopdirect.com/FORD_RACING_BOSS_CRATE_ENGINE_ASSEMBLY_363_500HP_p/m-6007-z363ft.htm 500 Horsepower just like that! And it will bolt right up to whatever transmission and and fit right into our older cars. but that's my "wish list" engine. Best of luck on your project and post up when you can on progress!

[@darrellnunnelley4489]

+autoedit The budget for the complete motor with all components is around $6,000 so that won't work - was hoping to stay around 325/400 hp and a dependable driver vs weekend hot rod

[@billmayer6811]

OMG! Yes that would help. I have been wanting to put one on my 331 for awhile but was not happy with the pulley option. Also what made you go with the over Weiand over the other options. I can't wait to see your engine in action. Thanks

[@AutoEdits]

+Bill Mayer The 90's pulleys are the best deal! It was a fairly easy choice on the brand, I'm a huge fan of the Holley family of products so I go to their webpage and Weiand is the option for Super Chargers there and I love the old school looks and simplicity of the 174. I just put together a large order for my fuel line and fittings on the Earl's section last night!

[@billmayer6811]

I will be following for sure! I just found your you tube channel and it is great! The best instructions I have found! keep up the good work!

[@homeonthewaves]

Another excellent video, thank you for this edition. I am curious to know why you didn't use the gaskets for the ends of inlet manifold? Is there some advantage to using silicone instead? Also what grade of silicone are you using?

[@AutoEdits]

+marine50k Well, years ago an old timer told me to use sealant and it has just become habit at this point and to be honest, I don't remember why it was recommended. I have been using the "right stuff" on the last few installs with no issues. Any suggestions either way?

[@homeonthewaves]

+autoedit thanks for explaining that one. I don't really have a technical reason for doubting the effectiveness of your choice, more of a gut call thinking that the sealant might not survive as many heating and cooling cycles compared to a gasket. That said, experience trumps gut, so I shall give it try sometime when I have the opportunity. I shall have to google the "right stuff" and find a UK equivalent product.

Did you know holding the top of your torque wrench like you can change your torque due to the pressure you apply. You should try and hold the arm only.

[@abracadaverx7393]

So all SBF are external balanced. I do believe 302 is 28oz and 351 is 50oz. With the adapter pulley on the HB, wouldn't that cause the balance to be thrown off? Unless you're using internal instead? My knowledge is basic on blowers, can someone explain?

174 Hey funny how you added the ci of the blower and engine together, but the engine ci doesn't count anymore.

Sooooo actual cubic inch is 174 x 2 x 1,8 and that's 626 Cubic.inches baby a looot. You must precicley measure the crank/blower pulley to get the exact ratio instead of my presumed 1,8
