Budget 351 Windsor Stroker Build Goes Terribly Wrong - Unexpected FAILURE?

[@The50Baker]

I'm finally almost done with my stock block 347. I didn't touch it through summer because it was too hot outside. Just started back at it and almost all buttoned up.

[@Mustang_Chris]

I bought an 110 A/C window unit for the garage for exactly that reason. Same price as a cam. Money well spent.

[@The50Baker]

@@Mustang_Chris I don't even have garage, doing this in the driveway. I have a carport for building the engine but it's not big enough to get the car in it. Fun times. I'm almost done though.

[@Mustang_Chris]

@@The50Baker Glad to hear you're almost done. I remember the driveway days. A 10x10 pop up canopy with a 4ft light bar, a plastic folding table, a fan, an office chair, and a cooler/footrest.

[@The50Baker]

@@Mustang_Chris yea it sucks pretty good. But I'm getting it. Probably a couple of weeks before first start.

[@dj-HSTP]

I love this w mustang series. Regardless of your skill level. You’re showing your fails and we get watch the team and the car grow.

[@Neomustangs]

I dont hide failure, i dont hide most of my HP numbers. I try to be realistic. To some that may be boring... but w/o failure you cant learn and get better.

[@droppedf100]

Yeah it’s like that sometimes. I’ve had a year when my race truck, my daily truck, my quad and my bmx all broke the same year right after one another. Time to make it great again

[@Neomustangs]

We dont stop bro! We fixed the 363, we will fix this and make it better too! Then we have the 408 being assembled as we speak!

[@Go4BrokeOffroad]

Had something similar happen to my 414. A lifter lost a snap ring. Found it inside the oil pump. locked it up, made the pump shaft look like a candy cane.

[@troykifer]

I built a motor with original boss 302 heads on a 289 block. Has all the gangster parts in it. But it’s still on the stand I built it on 3 years ago. I think we’re the opposite on the getting it off jack stands attitude. Maybe one day

[@randallmason9687]

Get off, and on! Off of your arse, and on your feet!! Let's go, you can do it!!!!!

[@Neomustangs]

Ok well maybe the CLEVOR build will motivate you to get that project done!

[@FORDMAT77]

Damn brother, I hate this happened, and the timing of it. Your Hustle is so real, and I love the content.

[@Neomustangs]

I appreciate that. I can't tell folks to get their shit off jackstands and not do that myself!

[@josephrkrasnecky]

Definitely looking forward to the clevor build

[@stevea6722]

Would like to see a big inch Clevor, 393 or 427(?). Tear up some asphalt!

[@Neomustangs]

With the fact we got the rare missing component to the CLEVOR build (the heads) we are going to make an oldschool build like this 387 was.

[@mikealbert728]

​@@Neomustangs why go that route when Ford built you a stroker from the factory. You do a lot of stock stuff so why not just use the 400. Dirt cheap and Kasse crushed the EMC for a decade with em.

[@42BravoFoxtrot]

I would guess that whatever went wrong might have happened during that 1st to 2nd missed shift. I hate it when that happens.

[@Neomustangs]

Nah it wasn't that. I have street drove this car pretty well along with the burnouts... driving down the track was a walk in the park compared lol

[@fordguy8613]

Lol...love the Airwolf theme music!

[@Neomustangs]

Its what i grew up watching on TV!

[@fordguy8613]

@Neomustangs yeah, me too. Hate to see the the 387w go down, running a 393w in my '94.

[@FLfoxlife-zv6fh]

I hate that you're having trouble with the 387 seems like oil starving for sure. I will definitely be interested in the clever idea. Those heads flow better stock than any LS head ever made.

[@Neomustangs]

Ya people see the "cast iron" part of that video on those heads and are probably like "boat anchors".... thats not the truth the BOSS heads flowed BIG numbers!

[@scottglaister158]

ohhh man that sucks ! hopfuly the damage is minimal i think you have a great attitude

[@fatman_fast]

hey finally someone else running the coil on/near plug stuff!!!

[@dragonslayer6000]

Ohh dear jesus im sorry yall went through that😢

[@angrygaragemechanic]

Yes finally seeing a Clevlor build. 👍

[@brokentoolgarage]

Wow, that was a big chunk of something.

[@Shawn_42850]

Excited for the Clevor build! Always wanted to do one.

[@Neomustangs]

ya we'll see how it goes!

[@BrentFrancis-h8o]

Clevor is a great idea. You sure you don’t want to do a 427 SOHC Cammer build? Just playing around. Sorry that one failed.

[@Neomustangs]

I have always wanted to do a 351W w/ Cleveland Heads. Not alum ones... the originals.

[@paulhudgins5120]

Damn bud, that sucks. Once you changed out the cam pin, you were in the clear. But what you found in the oil pan, i would suspect oil starvation of some sort, but you will find out once the oil pan comes off. Either way it still sucks.

[@Neomustangs]

Thats what we are thinking. Starved. That was a spare oil pan on an old build and it was a dry sump style.

[@ryandeweese363]

It's a bummer for sure but atleast you'll be able to tend to it now! What kind of bearing you gonna run in the Windsor? Tri metal?

[@Neomustangs]

Honestly we will probably just keep it budget as it was. Go in fix the problems clean up everything reassemble with a bigger camshaft.

[@Gmed11]

Good thing you own it neo cause your build don’t lie. Next video is gonna be “engine put back in and ready to go” 😂 the amount of time it takes for you to build an engine is what I wish I could do. Love the channel

[@Neomustangs]

I just don’t waste time. Get right to it! Get my shit off jackstands

[@Gmed11]

@@Neomustangs hell yeah why I love this channel

[@sarahhill9395]

Put you a good set of H beams in it and put some dome dome pistons😉

[@Neomustangs]

nah we just gonna fix it and put it together. Probably whipped a bearing out.

[@wakebum187]

Love your content, but I wish you would go into more detail on the setups. Also, what intake are you running, and where can I find one? I’m building a 351W, but EFI parts don’t seem to be as readily available as they are for a 302W.

[@Neomustangs]

In my build videos all my content has build breakdowns. I just repeat that every video. go check out the playlists.

[@sorshiaemms5959]

Interesting to see what the issue is had a similar situation that was the oil pump gasket had shifted over between the block and the pump can t wait to see that clevor build have a friend who did that years ago with 2v heads

[@jx10r13]

I've been dying to see someone do a clevor build!!!! I can't find any vids on it, I have a set of Cleveland closed chambered heads and a 69 302w block I want to build and a 2m crank I think or 3m cant remember, whichever one is the stronger crank I have LOL BUT YES PLEASE BUILD A CLEVOR!! I've read the Cleveland style heads since they're designed to run at 8k rpm for transam racing and that's where they make power actually work very well with boost and depending on the head they flow over 300cfm

[@ogsuperflygarage]

Sorry Bro! Well this is just another opportunity to build something even better! I am looking forward to the Clevor build!

[@sarahhill9395]

I’m gonna say the Pistons failed😉

[@Neomustangs]

We'll find out

[@sarahhill9395]

387 , hi compression, clavor , in the future 😉, I hope you get it sorted out soon and going again, I’ve had engine failures and it sucks,, keep the content coming, I like watching your videos very informative!!!!!

@@sarahhill9395 hell ya. We don’t wait to fix stuff here on channel. Regardless what it is

Its ok we fix it send it again. On bright side we can put a cam in it now while its out.

8.2 deck Clevor build . See if you can put a parts list together . Texas boys always talk about it . But no one has done it and provened it on the track to see actually those heads and set up will do .

[@skipgumphrey9579]

Hate that for you, definitely know EXACTLY how it feels…

[@Neomustangs]

We just keep on grinding and get it fixed.

[@79beans347]

Aw man the clevor is going to be badass, ive been thinking about doing it to my 347, are those 2v heads or the 4v heads? Im going to try these 190 11 r heads out first and if I don't hit my goal im going clevor

[@Neomustangs]

These are BOSS 302 heads. The best ones i could use.

Dang Neo-$tang, the carnage isn't good by far. Definitely a six or 7 liter Clevor. 👀👍

CLEVOR is coming for sure. We have the parts for it.

[@paul44235]

More engine content headed our way. Sucks for you, but good for us lol.

[@NotchFox]

Finding metal sux. Betting oil pump drive fail. Building the Clevor engine will be good content. Not a lot of 351 based content, and none on Cleveland/Boss based head stuff. Kind of tired of all the coyote stuff.

[@Neomustangs]

Dont get me wrong, COYOTE is the future. HOWEVER, that doesnt mean some of this old pushrod stuff isnt relevant! My 387 build wasn't a big money build and it made more RWHP than a GEN2 swapped foxbody n/a no mods
