If you're enjoying the video, don't forget to *LIKE IT* . I am very curious to see the condition of the internals. Water everywhere is just not a good sign lol.

[@willc7434]

Ok so if you have water mix with the oil like that bad trust me that engine is not going to start never so is better to disassemble and inspect it for what happened did you decide if you can rebuild it or not

[@myth30797]

I love watching you learn as you go. Old engine technology and dimensions are so different from modern cars, but I love them so much because of their simplicity. You chose the two most iconic muscle cars. I am so eager to watch what you do with them.

Haha.. true. I don't like to give up and will always keep going, until it makes sense to pivot. Plus the added benefit of me learning is why I like doing this. Happy to know you liked the video. Thanks for watching!

[@stephenmoxley3004]

Nice work, Doris. The water in the transmission is the result of a faulty cooler, inside the radiator. So, the radiator is also scrap metal and needs to be replaced. As previously mentioned, the trans. and engine will both need a rebuild. As far as the intake manifold goes, it's a pretty nice piece. It's a dual-plane hi-rise manifold. That's a good manifold for street performance. The carburetor is also a nice piece, too. It's an Edelbrock 600 CFM street performance carburetor. As far as the water in the engine, pay close attention to the condition of the head gaskets, when you remove the cylinder heads. I suspect one of them is blown. Hopefully, you will film the engine teardown, so we can discover, right along with you. Looking forward to this.

[@woman.driven]

Thanks for the heads up and explanation. All that will be replaced as it makes the best sense. I’m just curious on the internals and will look for what you mentioned 😊

[@aussie-c10-68]

The transmission cooler lines that run through the radiator have split inside the radiator, thus filling the trans with water. But the engine and trans are junk, and are going to need full rebuilds..

[@woman.driven]

That makes sense.. I get water in engine if the oil cap was left open without a hood and rain, but couldn't figure out how water would get in the transmission. Both are getting rebuilds, yes.

[@aussie-c10-68]

@@woman.driven when you put it all back together always run a separate trans cooler in front of the radiator, don’t run it through the radiator at all.

[@themetalgameralexmontalvo8088]

I love your videos because you are always excited when you work on the cars, it doesn't matter if it goes your way or not, the 350 is like that because is a flat plane crank 5.2L engine which is why 350 can go high RPM and have so unique sound compared to the regular 5.0 Coyote.

[@jameshuffman835]

You don't know Ford's

[@themetalgameralexmontalvo8088]

@@jameshuffman835 no the 350 is not a flat plane crank? Does the 350 doesn't go higher in RPM? Does the 350 sound more popier than the 5.0? To get the power it wanted out of a naturally-aspirated V8 in the GT350, Ford had to build a different sort of engine. So this engine has a flat-plane crank and revs to 8,250 rpm. That's huge. And it sounds amazing when it screams to redline.

[@Saskue78]

It was defiantly not going to start so it was good to pull the engine out. Now you can find out why it would not start. Awesome video. 🙂

[@woman.driven]

At least that is out the way. Can't say I attempted it lol. But yes. I want to find out why. Thanks for watching!

I learned from the sleeperdude channel that one of the things you might want to get for that kind of fluid removal, the pan or the radiator fluid, get a child swimming pool and catch it with that.

[@woman.driven]

That’s a good idea actually.

[@warpspeedracer]

So glad you got the engine out. It's going to be very interesting to figure out what happened in there.

[@Cliffdodger]

[@timb3925]

Was that in a flood? Have you checked the rear differential for water?

[@monster21blog36]

Great job 👏 on the projects

[@carbonjelloid8045]

Nice to see you motivated and moving forward with the project, the mustang is going to be great. Can't wait to see you driving it.

[@Rickyog2009]

well in all fairness, the reason why that v8 looks small is because its an Overhead valve (OHV) engine, meanwhile the shelby and most modern fords use (single overhead cam)SOHC or (dual overhead cam)DOHC engines which is why -OHC engines look so much bigger compared to their ohv counterparts. Its also a reason why a lot of people end up ls swapping a lot of vehicles as ls engines are ohv so a lot of power in a very small package.

[@edgarherrera5085]

Howdy from Texas. Great video. There's nothing like working on old engines, huh. Beats working on the new ones. I wouldn't touch those at all. Lol. I am looking forward to the teardown of the engine. Keep them videos coming Doris. Take care 🙂

[@woman.driven]

It's so much easier. This realistically does not take that long to pull or even troubleshoot. The only comparison I have is to my GT350 and Camry, with the GT350 taking the longest to prep just to drop the engine. Excited to see how this engine looks like inside when I tear it apart :)

[@SamSkeans-rt7tm]

Hi from Australia. Funny video Doris. You got there in the end. 👍keep up the great work

[@peterromano1911]

Doris, you can swing a chain across the lift arms and use the lift to pull the motor !!

[@seandieger3317]

I am doing similar work on 68 cutlass. Hasnt been on road in 30yrs. Title was lost. Got new title. Bought mid-rise, 5ft, hoist. Have car up. Rebuilding rear suspension. Not gears. Sand blasted all rear suspension. Cleaned and rattle canned frame. Bottom of floor. Now putting back together. Every thing reenforced or boxed. Painted. New bushings. All for now. Just thought u might be interested.

[@stevewilke8524]

Timing chain & cam gear last about 100k miles unless the metering hole in the bolt behind the cam gear clogs. Undo the bolt and blow out the oil gallery and clean the metering hole in that bolt. I usually replaced the nylon gear with a solid steel gear; noisier but less likely to strip resulting in all valves getting bent.

[@howardzikes2197]

You are hilarious I laughed the whole time I was watching. (laughing with you not at you) can't wait for your next adventure.

[@woman.driven]

Haha.. just a light fun video in general. I'm happy to know you liked it ;)

[@davearce3115]

Looks like you might have to go through the transmission. Water in the atf is not good . I through i seen cluch material in the transmission pan . Water gets behind the clutch bonding surface and the clutch material falls off . Wont hurt to check it out . I think you could handle a transmission rebuild. You can do it :)

[@thierry5618]

Good job Doris très joli garage🙂😉

[@davearce3115]

Water inside the transmission = transmission rebuild.

[@is3180]

You should rebuild that engine with an Edelbrock top end kit and an Eagle 030. Over rotating assembly.

[@pedrosandoval8232]

Good job nice video

[@Toolaholic7]

Those are torque converter studs,Ford loves using them to this day.Replace that radiatior,not in good shape.We went through this with a 1956 Chrysler 354 hemi with 70,000 miles on it and did get it running.Tore it down,was nasty inside from the old paraffin style oil they used back then.Rebuilding this one

[@woman.driven]

At this point, all is being replaced that has to do with the engine and transmission. I am just eager to open the engine and see the condition of it

[@Toolaholic7]

​@woman.driven Depends on how the bearings look.If they look good,worth rebuilding including how the cylinders look

Awesome job, well pretty much that was the only option, the engine was never going to run, plus all that water in the trans, it needed to come out too.Plus Chris got a arm video clip.

[@woman.driven]

Agreed lol. I tried at least several times haha. It was funny trying to get him to help.. he's like my arm will show lol. Who cars I told him.

[@robertsoroko8324]

...I haven't seen the previous attempts to start it, but the candles show that the basic thing is to check the spark on all cylinders... remove the spark plugs one by one (put them sideways on the metal intake - so they would have mass) and run the starter, checking if there is a spark between the electrodes... it would also be good to do a compression test in the cylinders (i.e. check the condition of the rings and valves after adding 5 mg of oil)... I can see from the video that the cameraman is a guy... because the shots are nice :)

[@woman.driven]

All good things to have tried. But the main thing was this engine had a pan full of water lol. So all my attempts were trying to piece together things that were missing in order to attempted a start up.

[@robertsoroko8324]

@@woman.driven ...I didn't look carefully... I thought it was the gearbox... so the only possibility is the gaskets under the engine head clamps, assuming that the engine is not cracked inside...I hope it's just the gaskets... good luck!

[@ronlucci465]

Glad to see your moving to older classic cars. Much more skill and work is needed than the new cars that just get BoltsOns. Go restomod and never look back!

[@97delkron]

pretty sure that engine would have ran with a lil more tinkering. but that poor car was done for. was a good idea to just pull motor/trans and go thru them and start from scratch. i enjoyed watching you work. made me chuckle a few times. and old school v8's are tiny in size compared to modern dual overhead cam v8's. but... wait till you take it apart. you will be amazed just how simple these engines are compared to newer engines. they are a breeze to work on.

[@woman.driven]

I would have too, but time is the issue.. I still have the Camaro to start working on along with finishing this Mustang. If removing the engine was a crap ton of less steps than modern ones, I am excited to take apart this one to see the difference :)

[@ruazfast]

If you try too many times sometimes it fouls the spark plugs out and you will have to replace them to try again.

[@woman.driven]

Wow.. now that is thinking outside the box. Never would I ever thought of something like that. I'll need to see if I can buy one for the lift for the 'just in case' instances lol. Thanks for the idea!

[@briansfixinstuff]

you need the rotor pointing to cylinder one at the cap not physically cylinder one.. you can put cylinder one wire at any place on the cap long as you keep the firing order correct.

[@woman.driven]

I tried many different ways on and off camera. Nothing would get it started. I'm sure it was timed properly in those instances.

[@wyattmoore3015]

my girlfriend and I were driving on the interstate together last month and my engine lost power and stalled out. I just recently discovered the timing skipped a few teeth. I'm also hoping my car can be saved because I'm in no financial position to be buying a new one that's for sure!

Could have possibly run a chain on post lift arm then to the engine lift mount then other lift arm to have the machine lift up the engine, roll body back and then lower engine.

[@trumanbeal5668]

With all the water pouring out of the engine/transmission- Kinda wonder if it took a swim somehow, maybe a flood car?

[@woman.driven]

Not flooded because there are a lot of things on the car that would show that damage and it doesn't. Now, was it in some deep water for some time, just under the door sills, who knows. But others have suggested hood was off while it rained and cooler lines broken which allowed water to get into the transmission.

[@geoffbernhardt137]

Will Chris ever make a video with you Doris? Be kinda cool to see you both working together on the Mustang and Camaro.

Welp, water in trans is the radiator internal leak, engine probably needs rebuilding, and after you do.

That is pretty much it. I am doing a full restore, not 100% complete, because a lot on the car that would be serious like the body is fine. All the little things I see, I've seen can be replaced, swapped, bought new or restored. The engine is out. Now I am going to remove the interior, then the dash, etc..
