- Upgrades to the Ford 302 Small Block! I’m putting in a new cam shaft, lifters, harmonic balancer, and timing chain. In this video I will be focusing on removing the camshaft to get my engine ready for the Edelbrock 2122 Camshaft!

Dude.... Ballsy. And big thanks... As a guy who didn't grow up turning wrenches, your videos have been super helpful with my attempts at restoring my 67 Bronco.
Yes! That’s awesome to hear! Glad to help
Dude, you’re gonna have so much more power!
🙌🏼
Keep up the vids. I have a 73 bronco with a 302 and like many, I didn’t grow up turning wrenches. My high school never had shop, woodworking, or anything that would have ACTUALLY helped me in life (half kidding). I’m a nurse, parent of two young boys, and an attempt at being a weekend warrior. These videos have been very helpful. Now just gotta work extra 💰💰 for the parts!
Haha! Exactly! 3 kids here. My advice would be: do one upgrade at a time. If you do too many things at once, you won’t ever get everything back together. Seriously. Keep it simple
Nashville Early Bronco You have an e-mail to share I can email ya with some pointer/product recommendations? I don’t know about you but it very difficult finding dedicated time to work on the car. Did you and you wife work out like a day a week your able to work on the vehicle without kiddos bothering?
Yeah! Nashvilleearlybronco@gmail.com
Dont forget to replace the valve springs, and break in the cam according to edelbrocks specifications. make sure you use edelbrocks break in oil too. you dont want a flatten a lobe and end up with metal shavings through your engine!
Sweet, this would really help me(and you have been) I don't have a Bronco, but I do have a 65' Mustang with a 302 in it. Needless to say I have been following and learning from your expertise.
Awesome! Glad I can help
Just a tip for future reference when you pull or install a cam use the bolts holding the timing sprocket on screw them in a little bit and then you'll have them for the leverage instead of the screw driver smart idea though! And great build!
Good tip! Thanks
I feel a bit late to the party but here I am, as a new subscriber. I have a Ford 302 in a 1951 Land Rover. 😇
Awesome! Welcome to the club
@@NashvilleEarlyBronco Thank ya! 🍻
Looks like you’re at the same spot I am on my AMC 4.0 rebuild.
Yep! About to break in the motor 👍🏼
Love your videos a ton and they help so much! Really appreciate it!
Thank you!
I'm jealous of how clean your intake manifold is...I do all this work cleaning my engine bay and it's already filthy again!😤😅But I guess that's the price to pay for fun😏
Haha! So true
I see that they sell this as a kit and... I'm sure it's fine but. I feel like whenever people do this with their valvetrain it's 50% of the job. So the lobes get matched to new lifters sure.. but now you have new lobes pushing old springs and rockers and pushrods plus a new lifter piston. Even worse? Camshaft bearings. Engines should always be built from bearings to long block with that build in mind. That cam is just hot enough to where I would want a high performance camshaft bearing. I'm sure stock spec springs are okay.. though it's better to upgrade for mild springs because your valves themselves will be more efficient at their job.. but its not that they are stock spring pressure so much as worn. Not like you can strip it to the block but... Every time I see people showing the simplicity of swapping an OHV camshaft I think about the bearings now as a start.
You gotta put on some aftermarket aluminum heads after all that work, more power less weight!
Ahhh! Yes that’s a great idea
I Was thinking the same thing. At the very least rebuild the heads. You were only 20 bolts away.
I know but I wanted to get it back together quick. If you let your projects get too big you’ll never finish. I mean, am I right 😉
Love your vids!
Zero degrees is top dead center (tdc).
Just a heads up, when you throw it all back together, you HAVE to use eldebrocks can break in oil, we learned this the hard way on my 79 400, drive it for a couple hours with the break in oil and change it with valvoline vr1 and An entire Bottle of Lucas motor oil additive. It’s not fun having to do things twice
Uh oh. I didn’t do that...
When the engine is running do you hear any ticking?
Haven’t fired it up yet
I would drain the oil, and keep it, buy the six quarts of break in oil, brake it in, then change it back to the original oil you took out and then add a entire bottle of lucas
Yeah I put in a bottle of zinc additive. I’ll get some of the edelbrock break in oil
hey man, you got that Fitech, get back a few horsepower and throw an electric fan in there. The Fitech can control the fan!
Good thought! I just bought a fan shroud, need to install that
I bought a 90s bronco engine for my 86 f150 and after all the hard work of putting it in and chasing diagnosis down turns out the cam and distributor were chipped so now I gotta replace that. at least I bought the gasket set ahead of time ig lmao
Ouch! That sucks
@@NashvilleEarlyBronco lol yeah at least your video helped me out. I've got an extra cam and dizzy that I can see if it can run if not I spotted a big block from a Lincoln at a junk yard 700 for both transmission and engine lol
Do I have to remove lifters on my 302 before taking out cam?
Yep, best to remove the lifters first
Hey are y’all going to tn dirt devil again soon? I want to take my Jeep but can’t figure out where the start trail is
Hi sir want to order spare parts for ford V8 engine how
Hello, I know this is an old video but I know you’re still around since I watch all your videos (a$$ kissing out of the way) I’m in the process of replacing my timing chain and would really be interested in replacing my cam and rollers. The cam you used, how did it work with the fitech and other than the rollers is there anything else you had to replaced to make the cam work? Thank you for your help.
Hi, I just bought a 1976 ford bronco today and I was wondering what the toggle switch on the left hand side of the speedometer does. Thank you!
It switche sthe gauge on your dash that reads your fuel tank. It goes from main to auxiliary
How much harder would it have been to pull the whole motor out? Total noob here. I eventually would like to do the same to my 302 but I’m going to be replacing/upgrading multiple engine parts etc.
It wouldn’t be too much harder to pull the whole engine out, but honestly it’s not necessary unless you are working on the transfer case or transmission. You can get to everything in that huge Bronco engine bay
Nice vid, did you change the heads as Edelbrock recommends (60329 HEADS) ?
Not yet
Broncotainment
Did I hear correctly that you are thinking of going to an Edelbrock efi, so you're ditching your Fitech?
You heard that correctly 😬
Fingers crossed for ya! Glad it came apart with no issues!
Thanks man! It’s going back together easy too. Well, except the oil pan 🙄
Haha im about to go through the same struggle on a 390FE motor. I will say somome said to get an electric fan but id stick with the pully drive fan. Simple and effective and should work great with a shroud. We fight issues with electric fans all the time at work. Excited to see it all go back together!
Can't wait to see your video!
How many miles does the camshaft have?
I thought it was the original before I pulled it out. But looking at it, it looks too new. I’ve had the Bronco about 6 years
@@NashvilleEarlyBronco thanks!👍
No more fitech?!
Goodbye fitech
Nashville Early Bronco why? I just installed my and it’s fantastic.
Mine has worked great, but too many rumors of problems and don’t want to be stuck on the side of the road. I’ve got a couple big trips coming up
Nashville Early Bronco oh I see well I hope you make a vid on the Edelbrock efi!
Oh I will
paint that water pump dude... or get Edelbrock to send you one
Sell me the FiTech😂😎
Deal!
