[@dottiehammock9917]

My husband went from not knowing much about cars when this show first came on. now he can rebuild a engine and can do paint and body work. Keep the videos coming guys

[@Jst_An_Avrg_Guy]

Does anyone else love these videos first thing in the morning?

*POWERNATION* Please come pick up my 1982 Mustang Fox Body & do the same thing, it's been a dream of mine & my family. Thanks fellas for taking the time to bring us along on the build. GOD Bless.

[@PeterCruze-f1u]

Yeah!!!!! We have a really small budget for this build of around $250,000 dollars 💸 but with a little bit of elbow grease and a bit of time, everyone can do it. Yeah!!!!! Baby 👶!!!!!!!!!!!

Being a ford guy!! Love the ford builds!!! Being a s197 gt manual. With plenty of mods. As my daily driver.

It would be nice if they bring back the 351.

[@chrismiller2517]

This is an absolutely beautiful engine

[@alertgasper]

Pity they couldn't get some blue on the air cleaner for red-white-blue.

[@fataldreams2]

At least you’ll know when you have an oil leak. My car is painted white and I still did the engine bay in a flat black

[@Notasheepleandneverwillbe]

I'm not sure what GM was thinking when they put their distributors on their engines . But it's nice that Ford put theirs at the front of the engine where you can easily see it and reach it .

[@2nickles647]

@@Notasheepleandneverwillbe Because Chevy did it first. Ford could not copy Chevy 😄😄

[@MrMoosefire]

As a family friend (who is a chevy fan) once told me, ford and dodge put them in the front because you're always working on them. Chevy put it in the back to hide it since they dont need to be worked on as much

[@robertleadwood]

​@MrMoosefire idk those hei ignition modules like to burn out and are fun to get to in any smaller engine bay 😂

To each our own. Cover panels to hide whats going to rust in the years ahead. One of these days i can continue with my 78 GMC 3/4 ton. But its always the money to get it done. 😞

I hear you, have a 1972 Chevy waiting for body restoration. Engine was done but it’s been soo long now it’ll need to be done again. No money! Sitten for about 34 years

So, you're covering up holes in the engine bay by making more holes.. sounds like a plan

[@scottmay3620]

very disappointing to see them use a stock capacity fox oilpan for something of this caliber

[@johnginnitti4598]

Probably loose 25 HP with that $69.00 oil pan.....and spin a bearing when they launch it hard.....

[@aeo177]

​@johnginnitti4598 I've had a 351 w with stock Pan blue printed oil pump spinning 7100 rpm and 642 hp and about 10000 miles or about 5 oil changes later the bearings looked new of course that was only 10k miles when I checked and by this point that motor and car is far far away still miss it not sure of the condition now but it lived.

WTH were you thinking painting the engine and engine bay white?? Hideous …

[@TrumpAmerica-2024]

should have been painted whatever color the car will be.

[@stevansaunders18]

Haha. Yea I don’t like being critical, but I almost fell over when the painted the engine white…then the engine bay.

[@timothyconner4255]

@@stevansaunders18 I remember when Frankie and Pat from engine power painted the 300 in line Ford white.

[@satansnarwhal]

Since you dolts couldn’t understand the reference he was making let me explain. He’s going to turn it into the Vanilla Ice “iced out” fox body of the 90s that was all white everything. He’s probably going to paint the whole car white maybe even do an all white interior like how the original was done. I’m 27 and wasn’t even born when he was relevant and the car existed yet still got what he was saying 😂

[@timothyconner4255]

@@satansnarwhal And I didn’t need you to explain it to me. And I can’t ever remember for building and all white fox body Mustang. In fact, I can’t remember for building any vehicle all white. It’s going to be hideous. I don’t know who approved this project being painted all white, but they need their head examined. And I found a few fox bodies

Hey powernation i have a question for yall so im 17 and im looking to build my 305 chevy thats in my truck and i just want to put a decent choppy cam in it i believe its a roller cam not sure tho (its a 97 305) anneedwould like some recommendations if possible

[@KingJT80]

I would throw that 305 away and build a 350 for the same.price But if you just have to build a 305 with small pistons that very few cylinders head shit get trick flow 175 heads meant for 305s small pistons and a summit 1102 camshaft done deal

I'd like to know what cam and heads are used on that sbf

[@KingJT80]

Def TF 205s or bigger I think it was a solid roller to make that much HP

Carbs are better. Carbs rule.

[@huntercolby9143]

I’m sorry but, white… there’s a reason that hotrod magazine called there engine “white trash”. Like some one else said at least you’ll be able to clearly identify ANY leaks but I would have left “the old grey mare” alone and just put some contrast color on it, not a complete respray. All I can think of the build now is “Ice, Ice, Baby” and depending on who you are that HAS NOT aged well nor will that white paint on that car if you actually drive it.

Did you guys paint over the oil filter, and also the car horn????

[@KingJT80]

Those are all easily replaceable

[@stigastondogg730]

@@KingJT80 well done 👏 Too bad it wasn’t what I asked.

[@greggoett]

Do they know how hot it gets under the hood? Blocking off the fresh air intake for the motor is killing horsepower. Now that they have EFI.. they can just see how hot the air going down the throttle body is. We all know cold air makes more HP. Open element air cleaners look cool but just ROB HP. Im looking how to cold air my 68 Mustang. On a 65 deg day, rolling 45 mph, engine 180 degrees, air in the Holley Sniper 2? 100 deg. That's 40 degrees warmer than outside air, thats a lot less HP

[@KingJT80]

Cowl hood and a big air cleaner will fix that.

[@metalted6128]

Yeah...@15:57 you say "Indicating your bellhousing is a crucial step..." But is it??? I swapped my 1991 Ford Mustang LX Convertible from an Automatic to a TKO600 in 2007, and never measured for misalignment. Never had a problem...cough, cough,cough...(just nightmares of what I might be doing to my transmission) It hasn't given me weird noises and doesn't seem hard to shift, but it is a nagging thought in the back of my mind.

[@DrBlood-cq2cm]

Annnnd where do you plan on driving this car? Not on any public roads thats for sure.

[@beboboymann3823]

Why is it you guys will devote a full show to a Chevrolet build but 15 minutes to a Mustang build. I could care less about the Mopar stuff……do a separate show for that. Mopar looks like it won’t be around for the long haul anyway.

[@dadyo63]

Looks like big bucks motor ,not affordable for most of us

[@KingJT80]

Not really a lot of people have built 408s You dont need EFI or a solid roller to make that kind of HP on pump gas but you will need those heads. TF heads are very good or AFR heads or the bigger Edelbrock victors or Brodix track 1s
