0:24, same deal on #8 as my 352.

What kind of thread locker did you use?

You were the kid who snuck down stairs on xmas eve & peaked at his presents.....right? 😮. Cool car bud i luv it"👍

Sounds good.

go video

One of my buddies had his Ford 390 rebuilt, Later he had problems with out of round cylinders, rings getting wore quickly. It was a mess. Turned out, the guy that rebuilt it never took it to the machine shop to get it all trued up, line honed, surface the heads. torque plate check everything. Anyway, I love the 352. When I was a kid about 6-7 years I remember listening to a 1960 Ford with a 352. I thought that was the best sounding engine ever. SO if I win the lotto, that is what I will do, that would be one of my bucket list things to do. Get a nice 60s Ford car and have a built up 352 in it. I had a 64 Ford Galaxy in the early 80s. 4 door hardtop. Remember how the mufflers were way back by the rear bumper. Well, they would collect of water and rot out fairly quickly. I took it down to a muffler shop that bent their own pipes. He came out with some ungodly high amount for new mufflers. I started to head for the door, he said, 'I can just put pipes in there instead. I will bend them so they look stock. He did and it was cheap, they looked good. It looked a lot better, because you could see those old rotted our mufflers back there. It was fairly quiet, as long as you took it easy. But, once you floored, that thing sounded like a stock car. Then, when you back off, it would cackle real nice. I got nailed with it. The Highway Patrol gave me a repair ticket. I put up for sale cheap, and it sold right away, I never did repair. It was not long after that I moved out of state anyway. Things were different back then. They would probably shoot you nowadays.

I'm being picky , I always hone my cylinders with the cylinders vertical & I hone cylinders oversize with a Lisle or Sunnen hand held honing tools . I also take the shiney spots out with sand paper & use chrome rings and found the rings will make the cylinder round using the same pistons and deglazing the cylinders . I also use a ridge reamer before honing (deglazing) cylinders. All of them worked good after the break in period . I also use 2000 grit to polish my crankshafts. Chrome rings are tough & actually chrome the cylinders to break in , with respectable M/P/G AKA Your doing it the exact way I rebuilt my first engine . Now I build winning stock car engines that are built with all stock parts LOL (there all stock modified parts). Good Luck Motor Mouse

I know I might be late, but clean out those oil galleries with pipe cleaners. I like your work, nice Do-it-yourself project.

Enjoyed your video very much, I have the sister car to yours, 71 gold color, black vinyl top (gone), but its a Dart GT. 318, 904, 8 3/4 rear sure grip with highway gears. Pretty much the same condition. I'll watch the rest of the vids. Thanks for sharing.

Very important to also check lifter bore diameter to make sure it's in speck and also measure each lifter

Buying that Sweet Dart was a better score than if you nailed The Homecoming Queen 👑.

Is this a 352-2V or 352-4V?

It probably needs a pair of tires😂

Definitely worn and still packs it 😂😂🎉😅

Absolutely yes

I’d take it, looks like a good project👍

Not Too bad on the 352 Couple of cranks a quick start and die and then stayed runnin

Well done Eric n son

That's dangerous using a broken cutting wheel,hope you didn't get hurt

I would say you need a carb rebuild for sure as it sure seemed to be backfiring and missing when you were first starting it up and then running it at a fast idle. I would be making sure your firing order is good, the points and plugs are good and set properly, your distributor cap is good and timing is correct. You shouldn't have to pump Mopars to start them up unless the engine is cold or it is super cold outside. You can't pump a bunch of gas into them like Chevies or it will flood them. Good luck.

Do you put any gasket spray inbetween the heads and motor ?

I use a break cylinder hone personally. But the way you did it is fine. 400 grit is okay.

That's one way to keep a cam from going flat.

If your drill has a slower spindle speed, i would try to slow the rpm alil while keeping the same feed rate speed. I would try? If u feel how u are doing it is better, then do it that way. Just a suggestion. And really, do your research before u use a ridgereamer! I recomend not using one!!! If u have a ridge, u wont hone it out! If u use a ridge reamer, the only way to trully get the ebtire ridge removed u will cut into the bore beyond just removing the ridge, your top ring with then hit the area u cut & it will not be a proper finish there! Ruining your top ring! If u leave the ridge, & reuse the same pistons, u know your top ring will stop at the ridge without hitting it. Its fine. It should be properly bored oversize, or left alone & hone like u are the best u can. Keep the stones below the ridge so the stones stay straight as they can.

Unless it looks lime someone may have just changed the door skin because I dont see how that old mirror position ever would have worked in front of the flip out corner glass

And after 71 maybe after 72 the doorz inside were covered witb plastic along the top

One way to tell I have heard how they updated that door lock to more convenient position

Yup must be 70 door

How about tighten up cut off wheel

Wow, Somebody rescue that block and get it to a machine shop. Tapered, belled, out of round... and off center as the shortness of the bolt forced being off axis. I doubt a cam survives lifters in those bores.

I don't know what happened my sleeve caught fire🎉

Hey Eric, I just watched your video and enjoyed it. I feel like i should tell you that OSHA had a come to jesus meeting with me a few years ago and they told me that the new gasoline formula including non ethanol is made of particles so small that it passes right into the blood stream and kills millions of cells when they contact. I was told in no uncertain words that it will kill me if i continued to use gas as a solvent. I didnt have a clue. Just passing on the info so you can keep turning wrenches. Have a good day.

Use it wet with WD40 for a better result 👍🇦🇺

Nicely done. Cheers 👌😎

What benefits does cleaning give? I’m doing a reseal job and am about to reinstall the assembly. I didn’t take them apart to clean them but I will if there is a big benefit

Mr. Lenchner is from Marietta originally, lives in Miami now if not mistaken. Car has the HD cooling, probably has the .892 & .893 torsion bars, disc brakes (by the looks of the master cylinder), and could have the front sway bar on it. Fairly well optioned, but odd it has the baby 7.25" rear end...

OK… First of all do not use gasoline it is not ideal for a lot of reasons. Honing oil is preferred. It’s cheap. You could get it anywhere. Second of all use the appropriate coarsness ball hone it’ll break the glaze without taking off too much material. Sometimes I use a finer course after I first use a course one. Also avoid overhoning you don’t want to takeoff material you just want to break the glaze… Keep on rocking.

It's a whole lot easier to torque the rack down then compress the rod side of the rocker and measure the clearance at the valve tip. Ideally you should be closer to the bottom of the plunger travel than the top. This will ensure you get full lift even with lifters that bleed down quickly. If you've decked the block or heads,done a valve job, the geometry will change and a new set of push rods may be required to get it right again. But then again what do I know, I'm just some old geezer that's been driving Ford FE's for 50 years.

You gave a good demonstration of how to homemade and it made a lot of sense on how to do

im build a fe 360 now thanks

Im pretty sure nun of mine had lock washers.

Slow wide turns. I had a mini for 15 years till cross shaft broke. Rolling a Lock Right currently. Looks cool.

Happened to me.

Just use a blocked heat riser gasket. If I was going to block the hear riser port, I would fill it with epoxy.

I've never fitted a double roller before only original cam sprocket. I thought the timing mark was at the bottom?

What torque wrench are you using? Do you think 1/2 inch or 3/8 would be better for this engine? I’m about to get one of these engines and trying to decide which tools to get. Thanks

Those are old FE heads!

Thanks for these videos man! My great uncle has 3 trucks that have been sitting in his field for 20 years and he said I can have whichever one I want. One is a '66 f250 with this engine in it. I have been learning all I can before I get the truck, and this is helping a ton. Did you buy a certain rebuild kit for this engine, or are you just getting parts as you go?

it seems like the fresh air tube from the air cleaner housing down to the exhaust manifold chamber is missing for the automatic choke to work.

it will be great to see how it turns out! I have the same exact car with the 352 autolite 4100 carb on stock intake. Still running points style ignition. Cruise o matic trans with 3.00 gears and p215 65 15 tires. I have a posi rear on it and if i flat punch it from a stand still it will burn rubber for a quick second then move out pretty quick.
