Parking Lot Fox Body GT40 Head, Intake and b303 plus Cam Swap! From Start to Finish! V8 Mustang 302

This is a compilation of the GT40 Head, Intake and Cam Swap that I made from "The Roach To Redemption Series" in my channel put together content from a few videos to answer some viewers questions about why we chose the cam and to show the hardships we had to endure!

I really enjoyed this video Brother Luis! You guys did an amazing job! Sounds great too! Always good to see family teaching and helping one another! Your content is always top notch!!!💯👊🏾

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

I appreciate that James! I uploaded a video a while back when we first got the car running, and everyone in the comments was asking me why we didn’t choose a more expensive cam, because they only watched that video. We got the cheapest cam available because we weren’t even sure that the car was even going to run, so I just edited the full story into one video 😂👍…

@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 Nothing wrong with the cheapest cam available Bro. Just my opinion. 😄

This brings back so many memories to high school in the late '90s..I have done H/C/I so many times on Foxbodys over the years ..lol Your distributor is definitely one tooth off with it almost touching the water neck 👍

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

It brings memories to me as well! Every time that I work on a Foxbody it takes me right back to when I was much younger, thats why I can’t let go of these cars, I feel like they keep me young, at least I feel young again if I ignore the back pain and the cracking knees 🤣. I truly hope these cars live forever sir 🫡

Hell yeah! Nothing like wrenching on a successful project with your bro. 💪🏼

Awesome guys, God bless you boys and your family. Appreciate the real world job you just did, I think that resonates with the vast majority of mechanics out there

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

I absolutely appreciate what you’re saying and I completely agree! There is a lot of content on KZbin that doesn’t show the reality of what hurdles you have to overcome when you work on old cars! I can’t thank you enough for watching and leaving a comment. Have a great weekend! 👍

[@TheEpmd40]

It's great that you were able to help and teach your brother. He will appreciate the car that much more and he learned a valuable lesson. I hope to see more.

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

[@blindabinda1234]

Great video man. I loved the part when he took his first cylinder head off and became a man. Lol if you do a base idle reset you can get the rpms a bit lower and it might lope a little. Get the timing set first though. And make sure you take out the spout connector when timing the car and while doing the base idle reset. It stops the computer from changing the timing when it's out.

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! I appreciate it, we’re doing a little bit of collision repair on that car now 😆, but definitely I will do the base idle reset you recommend! The car had a pretty bad vacuum leak when we put it together so it already sounds much better now. I will post updates on the car soon

[@blindabinda1234]

[@89G]

Good stuff, Luis!! It's good you noticed that lifter/cam issue before you got much further into reassembling the motor!

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

Thank you I appreciate you watching! The plan all along was to slap the heads and intake on this car and call it a day, we had no idea how bad it really was, it seemed to be running ok it just lacked a lot of power 😳, we had no clue the lifters and cam were trashed like that

[@89G]

@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 How does your Brother like that B303+ cam? I have the FMS E303 in Frankie.... but I also have a TFS Stage 2 that I recently acquired. Trying to decide if it's worth my time, lol.

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

@@89G the cam performed great, the only thing we didn’t do was upgrade the springs to beehive style ones (thats what they recommend) Im sure it would have performed even better with the right springs! For the price you can’t beat the b303+

[@89G]

@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 Good to know! I did the TFS spring upgrade on my P heads. BUT, I also am considering abandoning the 351 idea, and just using those Flowtek heads on the 302. I'm not nearly as into "fast" as I used to be.

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

@@89G I was in over my head thinking of building the 351 I had, honestly its too much (money and power) for anything you want to drive and enjoy! I say throw the heads on the 302 and enjoy them

[@SleazysGarage]

Amazing video brother, absolutely love the vibe of a parking lot rebuild. Really takes me back. The damage to those lifters was pretty crazy!

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

Thank you, I appreciate that! We didn’t have a lot of faith the car would run after finding all those issues, Im sure the metal ground off the lifter and the cam ended up somewhere, we just never found it 😳

[@BigStickStangs]

Awesome video Luis! That cam lobe was really wiped out for a roller cam. Amazing the lifter didn’t detonate. Great catch on everything. 👊😎✌️

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

Thanks Rick, I really appreciate you brother, back when this happened we had no idea the cam was trashed like that, we thought it would be bolt on the heads and go, but there’s always surprises 🤣

[@BigStickStangs]

@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 That is so true. That’s why I named my car "Nightmare". Another nightmare has occurred with it too. Working on a video. I’ve been delayed because of more issues. I can’t catch a break. I am sure you seen Sloppy Sunday pic in the group. Have a great day Luis. 👊😎✌️

Going from 100% Stock to basically hci,fbo..thats a nice difference in power.

[@Carguylogan]

Explorer heads and intake are great, the B cam did nothing lol. Back in the day my friends and i had a whole gang of GT40/GT40p/ported E7 302 cars with explorer intakes and multiple different cams- stock, E, B, X, Anderson etc. The cams made no difference at the track or on the same dyno. Had stock cam cars making the same power as E cam cars on the same dyno, same heads and intakes, same gears etc.

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

I appreciate your comment! Sounds like some real world experience and track testing on your part, that is always valuable. So the cam that we used isn’t really a B cam, I think summit strategically used the b303 plus name to sell more cams. In reality this cam is a split duration cam with over 500 lift, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to say it’s a much better cam. But to your point 💯 true, gears, heads and intake will make the biggest difference.

[@joeh6697]

Mabie for you !!!!😂

[@TheModAddict]

Ive been in the mustang game 30 years..ive never seen a b,e,f cam not make a difference in power and ET. My old fox gained 18hp with just a e cam. Ive seen n41 cams make 30+hp difference.

[@sbf_fox2434]

Thanks for posting. Did that E303+ cam idle fine?

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

Thanks for watching! Yes, performance wise I have no complaints, it definitely performed better than the alphabet cams I’ve installed in the past. The only thing we didn’t like was the sound, it sounds almost like the stock cam and idles really close to stock too! I would probably use this cam again 💯

[@javiermiranda1751]

I bet that bbk throttle body still whistles huh 😏 lol

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

The bolts that hold it to the intake where loose that’s why that one was whistling like that! But I know what you mean, I had one that would whistle like that and what I did is pulled out the IAC valve and I smoothed the inside casting on the throttle where it mounts! That took care of it, try that if you ever have that situation 🫡💯

@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 I'll have to try it because mine whistles and it's hella annoying 🫡🦇

Hey did you use the same pushrods that were originally in there? Also did you buy upgraded springs?

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

@@Cryptobo23 how is it going? No actually we had a leftover set of used pushrods from another 302 I built a while back, but they were stock factory ones. I used the same springs that came with the Cobra heads and honestly they looked like the factory springs too! If you can afford to upgrade those items do it 💯, I chose to put it together like that because as you can see in the video I wasn’t even sure the car would run after all the damage I found

@MrBlitzkrieg1987 it's going good! Thanks for responding! I ended up just spending way more on everything now haha. Push rods, Springs, heads ect.
