Building an 8000 RPM Capable 302 for my F100 Pt. 2 Back to the Machine Shop...

[@johnsarian_cu]

I'm getting to the point where seeing creative older truck builds excites me more than spotting a supercar. At least I know I can afford one and enjoy it more without worrying. Also, Wendy's Frosty rocks! Well, Wendy's is my go to if going fast...

[@neil6212]

Nice, careful build! One suggestion, based on my own experiences, Always chase the threads before the final cleaning, and blow out the holes with compressed air from the bottom, using a thin tube blow gun. In my experience, using what is known as a "spiral flute plug tap". The spiral flutes pulls the cuttings out, where a straight flute pushes them forward. Finally, run the taps in and out with an average size cordless drill. If the tap hits an obstruction, such as the bottom of the hole, the keyless chuck will slip on the tap, which is very hard steel.

[@JaredR1996]

This F100 getting some TLC. Awesome work as always Craig. Keep it up

[@DerekKingMusic]

I'm just impressed that you've taken on most of the tasks on your projects. Most folks are too scared to get that deep into something like what you've done. Hell, dude, I've done this stuff for over two decades, and there are many jobs I hate taking on particularly suspension. Hate that stuff! Keep up the excellent content, dude!

[@mattsgarage61]

I have been watching this channel for many years and your videos have been inspiring and have made me start projects I would t have normally done. I am a high school student in Canada who is also going to university next year for mechanical Engineering. I am also a huge car guy although I am mostly into mopars. Your videos inspired me to restore a 68 340 dart and with some help from friends I did pretty much everything to the car including rebuilding the engine to changing the gears in the rear end. I just want to say I love your content and keep up the great work! The car community where you are seems to be a lot bigger than where I am from (Prince Edward Island) I am pretty much the only kid into the old stuff at my school. It is people like us that will keep these great vehicles on the road. Thanks for the great content!

[@soulwagon1251]

The PB Blaster Surface Shield is amazing! If you live in rust prone areas this is the stuff to get.

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

When I had my 85 Mustang GT. If I could keep my foot out of it I could get 25 mpg. Yeah that didn't happen very often.

[@charlesshamseldin9555]

Pulling that piston/rod outta there like excalibur at 1:53 Gets me inspired!

[@ekrkdkf3939]

I felt it when you said you miss driving you’re truck I have a 1990 Chevy stepside with a 350 with flat top pistons and a lunati rv cam with a rebuilt trans I tore it down to do a intake gasket and some of the grounds decided to say bye bye 😂then the freeze plugs in the back of the block did now I’m driving a 96 dodge Dakota 🤣

[@kmnremtp]

Still loving it bro! Can’t wait to see more f100 content. Have I ever mentioned how bad I hate school for getting in the way of your videos!? Lol! Stay in school! You’re doing it right bro, keep up the great work. Now I gotta go try my hand at window tinting. If it goes well, I’ll put a video up!

[@kmnremtp]

It went horribly

[@josiahlinquist4043]

Yes, we all miss the f100. But loving seeing the galaxy moving and the foxbody fixed

[@dentonedwards824]

For future reference you don’t need to put the rings on the piston when checking deck height, one less chance to scratch a cylinder or break a ring. Love your channel and your can-do attitude! Keep up the good attitude and you’ll go far.

[@JackTulsen77]

A lot easier to get the pistons in and out too. I never thought about before lol

[@704speedco9]

I can’t wait to hear that thing run.

[@maxnichols1727]

Craig, your videos are the best. You're real, not like most of the pretentious jerks out there. Be an ENGIMANEER, it works for you.

[@JackTulsen77]

He better have a fancy office one day with a fancy little desk name tag thing that says his name and job title and the job title better be "ENGIMANEER"

[@adamhoffman3687]

In highschool 22 years ago I'm pretty sure I had the same air freshener that you have on the mirror of the mustang. Lol

[@yamahaxs6501]

Love every bit of your content, but the truck stuff is my favorite!

[@fordfandiecast]

Great video. Always great advice. Learning from trial and error!! Also love seeing your car show content. So great to see what other area cars come out !!!

[@1452-w3b]

This thing is about to be really gnarly🤣🤣🤣

[@Tuggernutz50]

Not telling you what to do but I wouldn't rev that engine past 6800. A girldled 2 bolt main is nice but you haven't really blueprinted the engine to the level necessary to spin an engine that high of RPMs.

[@jameshood3692]

please invest in a tapered ring compressor, Amazon has em the checkered flag one works really good and is only like $25

[@jbchannel2800]

Love the videos keep up with the good work love the f100 content its the best f100 of that year in my opinion

[@bigsparky8888]

1 MORE THING...I ALWAYS USED CLEVITE 77 BEARINGS(Some call them Michigan 77...but same bearing...excellant product!!!)

[@chrismartin6544]

Anaheim and the big A my home town I miss the old Cali from the early 80’s I couldn’t live there now it’s a different planet lol

[@jamesoles4406]

The galaxie would look amazing in that color

[@andyrouse778]

Hey man, love your videos, just have a small suggestion about dealing with your main and rod bearings. (I've been doing full rebuilds on jet engines in the air force for about 5 years now.) I'd definitely just keep your super important bearings sitting in a covered pan of oil or just dipped in oil and wrapped and labled as a set in some butcher paper. The fibers and lint from a towel or non-lint-free cloth could potentially cause some pre-mature wear on bearings if any of it ends up getting in there on the final assembly. Potentially. And with gloves, don't be stingy with them, if you touch anything that isn't clean, or touch your face/hair, just throw a new set on before handling the bearings again. Love the videos man, keep up the good work!

[@Jon_2218]

Another enjoyed video, kool content, Thanx!

[@bigsparky8888]

I USED TO BE A CHEVY MAN TO D BONE!!! NO MORE...FORD 302 IS MY FAVORITE POWER PLANT!!! THE NEW COYOTE ENGINE...BRAIN DAMAGE BRO!!! SICK W/POWER!!! TY FOR THESE VIDEOS...I LOVE YOUR GALAXY...A MASTERPIECE IN PROGRESS...& YEAH...I SAW YOUR FROZEN CRUISE NIGHT...I USED TO CRUISE BACK IN THE EARLY 60's...HARVEYS BROILER WAS STILL KICKIN' THEN...BOB'S BIG BOY ON WHITTIER BLVD AND IN GLENDALE...BOTH GREAT SPOTS...ENJOY YOUR BUILDS BUDDY...!!! YOUR LIVING THE DREAM!!! LOOK UP SHAKEY JAKE A GUY WHO DID SHAKE AND DID THE MOST PERFECT PIN STRIP JOBS ON PLANET EARTH!!! A LOT WERE DONE @ HARVEY'S BROILER...ALL THE BEST TO YAH...(I'm 73 & totally retired...all it takes is money...so pinch dem penny's but do it right...it will last a lot longer...GOOD JOB ON 302 BY THE WAY!!!!

[@fomocoloco7172]

Yessir back to square 1

[@georgeborrero2783]

Dude it's time to put a 5speed transmission in your town car lol like to see u driving it

[@hanknipper3921]

Keep up the good work young man!

[@JackTulsen77]

Damnit... Guess I need to get around to rebuilding my 302 for boost.

[@jordanpanich]

Nice work as always!

[@MustangGuy6501]

Great video man love that fox!

[@scole901]

5:26 nice

[@Nathanmr19771]

Not being rude but you can’t eye ball deck height. Invest in cheap mag base dial indicator

[@dominicmancuso5347]

More car meets with the truck when yall got it together

[@haroldgetchelljr3264]

Very good video guys

[@loganhyslop1551]

Ok can you please let me know exactly what’s done to the fox because I’d love to get 23 miles to the gallon! 👍

[@danielweston8059]

Same here. 9 mpg isn't cutting it

[@whiplashmachine]

@@danielweston8059 9!? Dang, I get that out of my 6000# F250 with an aluminum, headed 466.

[@bigsparky8888]

AHHH...YES...WE CALLED IT BLUEPRINTING AN ENGINE...MAKES THE BEST OBTAINABLE...EXCELLANT!!!!

[@bigsparky8888]

BLASTER IS EXCELLANT STUFF...YEAHHHH BUDDAY!!!!

[@bigsparky8888]

YEAHHHHH...THIS ONE I KNOW FROM LARRY HE WAS A FACTORY TRAINED TECH MECHANIC...WHEN THE CRANK SPINS FREE W/MAINS TORQUED IT RIGHT & WILL RUN A LONG TIME...YOUR OIL PUMP IS SPOT ON TARGET...DUAL SUMP PANS ARE OK...

[@aldairgarcia6637]

Fantastic, I'm an engineering student too.

[@wainfiggitty]

Checking deck clearance with a deck bridge, right?

[@acs7618]

No dirty garbage shirts 🙌🏾

[@peanutbutterisfu]

This is controversial but I have the main caps machined so the girdle sits flat on the caps you have more surface area contacting to help the caps from walking.

[@curthall4096]

So...A/C in the Fox Body work...YET? LOL

[@orionfalkenrath9848]

They made foxbody in the color of that bronco, it’s called strawberry something

[@phillofthouse7538]

Big mistake not to chase the threads BEFORE hot tanking/cleaning it

[@williamsanders468]

10:40 were you busy being an Engimaneer?

[@Venturemaster_Nate]

First Also my heads are in that shop I was first there too.

[@jonlennon3348]

Is this engine stroked or straight up 302?

[@JackTulsen77]

He did a video going over a lot of that. I can't remember the title of it.

[@cameronkendall9113]

Did someone say old truck motor in the white galaxy??

[@thatmaverickguy859]

He's putting the speed parts on his fox

[@bigsparky8888]

AFTER THE ENGINE GETS BROKE IN...(I recommend at least 15,000 or 20,000 miles w/regular oil) TRY PROLONG ENGINE TREATMENT...I HAVE HAD A 318 (85 DODGE RAM HALF TON) GO 350,000 WITH NOTHING BUT REGULAR OIL CHANGES MY #1 SON GOT PICKLE FORKED...ENGINE CAME OUT & PUT IN ANOTHER TRUCK...Lost track after that...I SWEAR BY IT...I USE IN IN EVERYTHING I OWN & DRIVE...GOOD STUFF...

[@tinsano6030]

15 or 20 thousand miles? lmfao craig cant even make it 6 thousand without blowing it up.

[@bigsparky8888]

WOWEEEE ZOWEEEE...57 BIRD W/2 4BBLS...1st one I have seen...312 Y block too...stick shiftah...yeah...I read where 57 had 312hp with a Paxton...kewl...

I get an ad every 2 minutes it's crazy

[@kyle1486]

Hey I daily a 78 square body with 8 mpg it's okay

[@zachdoe2671]

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone comment this yet, but I would recommend plasti-gauging the crankshaft to make sure your headlong clearances are all good on the main caps. Not sure if you did this or not, but I’d recommend it if you have not! Also, another little tip. Don’t use a sanding disk (on a drill) on gasket surfaces. Runs the risk of creating low spots and rounding off edges which will lead to leaks. Use a sanding block! Another little “trick” or preference I should say. Some people do not use a gasket for the oil pump where it mated to the block surface. Reason being, is say that gasket goes bad. That sealing surface is below the oil line (meaning it’s under oil) so therefor you could risk losing oil pressure.

Fuck I was late again sorry Craig

[@vinmandich7756]

Those girdles are just another marketing strategy to waste your time and money there student engineering. Just like the famous water pump restriction plate that replaces your thermostat I'm not going to get started In thermals. The maine reason 302s will split is the bouncing of the main caps especially under detonation or rpm when you pull the mains off check the bottom of the main caps and block mounting surfaces for gulling or spots especially #2,3,4

[@tinsano6030]

Since you love throwing money away just to blow motors up, youd be better off just sticking junkyard motors in the truck since you're "poor college kid"
