Mustang Upgrades

On this episode we install a new camshaft, head studs, head gaskets, lifters, and a Quick Performance 9" rear end. The car is a 91 mustang coupe. It has a junkyard 5.3 liter that was completely stock with a ProCharger bolted to it. Our goal is to make big power and get ready for a Drag and Drive event.

The moment at 19:20 wondering about cars getting jealous of each other is way too real!

[@harveyezell7678]

So nice to hear an engine start up and run without cheasy background music. Great job!

[@Mr.Mopar.23-7]

Use your lift and a couple of straps to lift and set your old rearend onto the floor and in reverse to lift your new rearend up onto your trans jack. When you work alone, you get creative.

[@stephenlea5765]

Could’ve also left the lower control arms connected and lowered it to the floor as well.

[@fyrbyrd71]

My first reaction was engine hoist. Then, the lift/strap method. Necessity is the brother of jerry-rigging.

[@dustydon6419]

Get some paint on that cage. That would be a great task for your son, get him in the shop. I’m a believer of sharing most anything I have to do with my kids. The more our children are exposed to the better they learn. Love what ya do 12Volt, as long as it’s not electrical. Thanks for stepping up/ out and sharing

[@exlimey1417]

I've owned my 67 Nova (Lucille) for 16 years. 3 years ago I finished a restoration on my 65 Nova wagon. I kept them apart as I didn't want any jealousy. Had a little money left over, so Lucille got a respray and looks better than ever. She's still the Grand Old Lady. Oddly, the wagon doesn't have a name.

[@js7127]

Putting a SBF into a Volvo Amazon. Free car, 302, 8" and C4 in the garage, instant marriage. Car sitting in the garage vs driving down the road I am all in. Plus nice build Dave!!

[@dieterlange7581]

Love your channel glad I found it right away. Never miss an episode. 👍👌🇺🇸🍺💯

[@mistersecret88]

I LSd a Cuda and literally got death threats. LOL. You go boy!

[@haworthlowell805]

Nopar fans, typical.

[@charlestorruella8591]

Was that me did I do that sorry if I did lol

[@MurderMonteSS]

I’d do the same thing. A molar with a ls is actually on my build list someday.

[@danmyers9372]

I love the 70-73 Cudas and Challengers (my first car in 1973 was almost a ‘70 Challenger) but would never buy one now because they are grossly overpriced and level more because I would never want to be associated with the “Mopar or no car” idiots.

[@mattbaker4924]

It’s your car, you put what you want in it. I like it.

[@nickgeusebroek1210]

Dave use your hoist as a crane.throw a chain or strap over a arm and attach to your diff on trans jack,lift up,remove jack,set to floor or cart.attach new diff etc to put back on jack.Did this all the time as a tech,time saver.

[@pontiac411]

The factory used lifters are probably far better than the summit replacement

[@digitalmojofpv6217]

You are correct. I use the ls7 lifters.

[@mopower57]

That's so funny! I know cars don't have feelings but I talk to my cars to. 🤣

[@young11984]

Its nice to find new stuff laying around you forgot you had or something you dont remember buying. Every time i walk into one of my storage buildings i see something i forgot i had

[@malliz1]

Your car do the hell what you want, Dave. Nice car with a nice owner

[@bigpoohbear2272]

Man, good to see you get the recognition you deserve. I enjoyed faster with Finnigan, but you and Cotton do a great job. Keep the content coming.

[@brandonshelton4875]

Love the car! Can’t wait to see what you do with the set up!

[@michaelzimmerman635]

I had a 89 LX coupe I turned into a Saleen clone equipped with a Paxton, AFR heads, Art Carr AOD and a 150 shot NOS. Miss that car.

[@vehdynam]

Great upgrades ! Thanks for the video.

[@572hemi2]

I'll give you the love....an LS is the best motor for a Ford!!!

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

I see a lot of old Ford hot rods at shows, and most of them have SBC powering them. All the owners say the same thing, SBC cause they want it to run. And boy do they run! Your car, your choice Dave. Years ago, in 1988, I bought a 87 Mustang GT new at a really good price. BIG mistake, what a pile of garbage. left me stranded when it lost all power. Did that 3x, then I called LEMON. Only had it for 9 months. Got my money back and bought a Chevy S10. Had it for 10 years before the 4.3 died @ 225,000 miles. Will be waiting for the next video to see what your creation will put down. If I still had the S10, I would LS swap it. Good little truck, I miss it.

[@exlimey1417]

Had a 91 S-10. Loved that truck and would buy another if they ever decided to start making them that size again.

[@lawrencescatterson5037]

With all the issues in the world and get upset about what engine is in your car. Its your car and your choice. Thanks for the videos really enjoy watching them. When does junior drags start?

[@trumbley22]

Being upset about the engine that is in someone else's car is the dumbest thing. Brand loyalty for engines also makes no sense. A 1991 Mustang has very little relation to the Coyote engine other than both being Ford, but because it's a Ford it's what you should use? Lol.

[@tonykemper8896]

I thought I was the only weirdo that talked to his cars! I greet my work truck every morning and let him know what is in store for the day and tell him good job at the end of the day! The conversation with my projects is a whole other story that id get banned from KZbin if I shared all the expletives I say!

[@barryweber4022]

Always awesome Content David!!!

[@sb-st9ho]

Living the dream

[@bcole505]

That's a sweet car you're putting together. Looking forward to you getting it on the track!

[@ADOLFOSANDOVAL]

lol! you are too funny! i love watching your videos, it gives me the motivation i need...even if i'm working solo!

[@xXSlickNickXx757]

Looks like a fun project. I'm definitely not a mustang fan buy they are light and easy to make work at the track. I would have picked a chevy body but that's just me.

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing

[@richardkinley6743]

It's your car, your money, time, haters gonna hate, I personally love it! Carry on!

[@leonlanoux7238]

Even though, the race event was cancelled doesn’t mean that you needed to cancel the Dyno test, I would still go get the dyno test done as soon as possible and if is additional work to do on the car you will know and have time to do the work on the car. Once the car is ready to race, then you would be ready for the race event whenever it comes up and you would just drive to the track and race instead of rushing to fix things wrong on the car before the race.

[@bouverscustoms1652]

I feel like my car is super jealous. It's been broke for 20 years. Been moving it from my old house garage to the shop I worked at to the new shop I built. It just sees me fixing everybody else's stuff lol.

[@poolesperformance6146]

Next time to get the rear end off by yourself. Get a couple ratchet straps and hook the rear end to the legs on the lift and lift it a couple inches off the trans jack. Pull the trans jack out and lower the lift with the car on it and the rear end will be on the floor. Reverse the steps to get it up. I work in my shop by myself also and have to come up with ways to lift heavy stuff

[@Doogie_Causey]

Thanks 12 Volt Dave

[@johnk3930]

I thought I was the only one that talk to my cars like that lmfao

[@exlimey1417]

I always try the "Show me!" trick from Christine. Hasn't worked yet, but I'm game to keep doing it.

[@RandDCustoms2]

Definitely going to be set up now. I wouldn't give 5 seconds of worry what people think, its your car your dream.

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

I can already see the grin from ear to ear when you take it to the track. The 57 was looking at you like that because you were installing a 9" 4.56 which that alone will make that Stang feel like you just installed TWO LS engines. But of course she has the blower motor which is check mate!

[@chicagovasko]

12Volt dont make no junk... whatever he builds is badass.

[@brianlafollette7530]

I've got a project that I am trying to get done for the same event. Hope don't get rained out again I am looking forward to say hi in person.

[@larryalexander4833]

Cool project 🛠️🔧👍Great Sunday afternoon to everyone. Going into this Christmas season, remember everyone Jesus Christ is the answer!!!! He is the way through worst of times and the best of times. ✝️🙏💪😀

[@jamesasbury9618]

Sweet ride

[@richardpenner4686]

I like it...Every Ford should be Chevy powered....

[@royb.1441]

Your son is a darn good camera man!

[@scottj4476]

The answer is YES!! The other cars know when they're being overlooked!!😂

[@MikeRay1978]

99% of the people chirping about how much they hate an LS in a mustang would love a Ls powered mustang if THEY owned it. I don’t know anyone with anything they built themselves that complains as much as people that watch KZbin.

[@johnk3930]

You are absolutely right

[@trumbley22]

The HAMB is worse lol.

[@buckykattguitar]

Not my cup of tea, I wouldn't have done the swap, but I'd definitely drive the hell out of it!

[@jameslesswalk]

I'll stick to the Windsor that the ls was copied from 😉

[@young11984]

I would never put an LS in anything because i like something that looks good or is impressive because its different…..neither can be said about an ugly LS lol. Cant criticize their potential by no means but its a done to death swap and is boring to me regardless of the power it makes

[@brandongreene3213]

Chevy, making fords fast since the 1950s...

[@dannymccraw4841]

😂😂😂😂funny because the ls is a copy of the ford Windsor! So i guess fords been making Chevy fast ha!

[@erichuff2538]

I personally love it brother.

[@toddclark332]

It's about fun and that is ❤💪👍😁 put the dash back in it it's a car

[@nstereo.]

Wild cherry pepsi, heck yeah, that’s my boy!

[@pamhodges4973]

VERY GOOD VIDEO- Very enjoyable- Bob H., Flat Rock, N.C.

[@CraaaigV302]

Woops almost put the heads on backwards there dave 😂

[@danmyers9372]

Saw that. 😉🤣

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

I love the cage the way it's tied into the rockers and torque boxes it should work good those torque boxes aren't going anywhere that a good solid foundation.

[@shanewright6958]

Another good one 👍👍

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

I for one ain't cross with you for your choice of engine, it is your car in the end. Happy for you.

[@digitalmojofpv6217]

Hey brother you might want to do a trunion upgrade on those rockers asap before they let go and trash that motor.

[@danmyers9372]

Especially with a 4.56 rear gear and those short (26-28”?) rear tires.

[@Bigmerc2003]

Yes. Yes cars do get angry if we spend time on another one. Mine decide to get an oil or antifreeze leak. Maybe have an alternated go bad. But yes. I am positive they get pissy we we devote time and money to other cars😂

[@alanpittman6579]

I really enjoyed your video.... Thanks Keep up the good work

[@wackowacko8931]

If it is going to be a daily, you might want to intercool it. Vortech makes some very compact air to water intercoolers specifically for supercharged mustangs. Might not be a direct fit for the LS, but the package size should make it easy to fabricate into the charge pipe.

[@jayb4398]

Excellenté❤

[@michaelbare9960]

Dave, to help the viewers understand a little, approximately how long did it take to do the tear down and cam swap and reassembly. Thanks. Great Show. Always entertaining.

[@JMRAUTOMOTIVE]

Much love from Guam/ Washington state! 🤙🏾🇬🇺🇺🇸🍻

[@MurderMonteSS]

Ls swap the world. F@{k the haters. Everyone uses em cause they’re cheap, reliable,and make good affordable power. Keep doing you Newborn.

[@flintsmith3317]

Put whatever you got to go fast. They can hate all they want when they're lookin at your tail lights.

[@SModelMafia]

Dave, are you going to do a gear vendors for the D and D events ? Great build, love the car.

[@bassettraceengines]

Looks good !!!!

[@Edwardmodos]

As an owner of multiple mustangs and fox chassis cars over the years, I'm less offended by the LS swap than I am that you upgraded to a 9" but left the garbage quadrabind suspension in place. You want very loose upper bushings so it doesn't go infinite spring rate on you. Get a torque arm and watts link or just tub it.

[@ericbliss9512]

Cool car.

[@shanepetty8332]

Came up real nice mate, its almost an xg shell with a crossflow. Body moulds how the seats bolt in etc

[@townsend7]

At least you didn't do anything really crazy like put a Hemi in a Chevy.... 😂

[@danmyers9372]

Blasphemi!

[@Craigy82]

Man, what I would do for a foxbody, let alone one with a prochaged LS😅

[@TwistTapeTechnology]

My cars can't get jealous, I neglect them all equally. ^_^

[@dirtymuleracing5321]

Very Kool

[@williamm8598]

Do you brother!!! I'm in the midst of installing an om606 in my foxbody.

[@danmyers9372]

Hey Dave first off I still miss you on Finney’s channel! Joe is very knowledgeable but doesn’t have your southern charm. 😉. Hey who suggested the 4.56 gear in your new rear end? That seems like a LOT of rear gear to run with a basically stock engine and a short (26 or 28”?) rear tire. It should be ok for 1/8th mile but seems you will run out of gear at 1/4 mile tracks like Drag Week. You also can break those stock rockers by spinning the motor too high (trunion upgrade!). Are you planning to put a gear vendor in the car? Your highway RPM’s are gonna be really high…

[@palehorse7377]

been a week time for another upload, dave.

[@Flitzer514]

Cool car😀

[@gunney5744]

Now you can get the upper arms replaced, or box them.

[@SweatyFatGuy]

Ya know, um supercharged and turbo cars aren't very fond of deep gears.... unless you are trying to slow it down for some reason. A 3.50 gear will probably be quicker/faster than the 4.56 and will definitely MPH better. Otherwise its a fun build, and you'll get back to the five seven someday... I really doubt it will be like my 67 Cougar that I haven't driven since 1987...

[@mikemcgee2097]

Love it! Ignore the negative comments. What do you have going on for crankcase ventilation, and does it work? Always look forward to your show.

[@russhamilton2297]

Nice when $$$ doesn't come into the equation.

[@MobileTecJay]

Built ford tough with chevy stuff. Also noticed you didn’t tighten the lifter guide bolts.

[@johndishman8893]

I have that same car and color. Mines a 1990 though.

[@brandoncharley3070]

I'm trying to wait patiently, but I REALY want to see the follow up with testing. Is it going to be on KZbin or Faster?

[@OldManBadly]

All kidding aside, I sort of know part of how you ended up not doing the Finnigan stuff anymore... because you actually seem to like to get things done and working and actually usable for purpose without dropping major parts on the first test.

[@chrismartin6544]

The same thing any of us would have done I don’t know about you but I don’t have coyote money laying around lol

[@ChrisJackson36]

If this is going to be the drag and drive car, what happened to the Nova?

[@jeffstephens7958]

Sounds good David

[@Rebar77_real]

4.50's?! Watch out for that Moon Tune!

[@g8noobie4door16]

At the 8:20 mark I really hope I just missed the part where you tightened the lifter trays on both sides…

[@louisblair8450]

Screw the hate of your motor choice half of them wish they had something to go fast with 😂😂😂

[@looneylonzo28]

0:54 if you want the Ford to be fast put a small block Chevy in it. still the best pushrod engines in existence. GM didn’t see a reason to stick 10 liters of crap in a 5 liter package.

[@philipstevens3169]

Love it

[@86boostdcapri]

What bracket setup did you use for the procharger? What were they originally intended for?

[@jord9308]

Hey, Dave- I am in Acworth and I have a Holley dash you can borrow.

[@stephenlea5765]

How’s the Jr Dragster coming along! I see it’s parked next to your favorite car.

[@RebeldryversGarage]

I like the notchback Fox Stangs. If you want to go fast cheap, an LS is the way. Screw the brand purists. Very clean install. Hope to see you on one of the drag n drives next year.

[@steveanderson2881]

Believe it or not. You're mechanic Dave not 12 volt Dave!!!

[@ltholmsy]

When you cant head the engine ticks over the blower rattle... My car sounds so much smoother with the blower belt off.

[@JCWren]

LOL, I don't have a CRC parts washer because they're $2000.

[@heathensgarage]

Great video! What Cam did you choose? I would love to see the specs!

[@lancoshotrodgarage2858]

What version of the Procharger did you use?
