I'm definitely in the camp of while I'm there. I can't stand to see something I'm working on be anything but as good as I can get it. I can afford to do it that way but not everyone can. I used to have to reuse sometimes questionable parts when I didn't have much money so I completely understand.
That is the point of this video. The owner is not able to spend as much as he'd like, so we are doing the same thing you would do as a dad of six with a factory job in the '70s. We are making due.
Great series for someone who just wants an engine to run and be reliable, as opposed to someone who's trying to figure out how much power you can contain in a stock 302 block without splitting it in two.
LOL That is what we thought. There are tons of peple who just want to be able to get it "back on the street".
Look at him go! Proud of you guys!
LOL Thanks!
Really enjoying this series guys!
Thanks my friend!
Good timing for me as I'm heading head into the same small block Ford build myself. Thanks 👍
Thanks guys, I really appreciate the small block info. I'm an FE guy my first engine build was a big block 390. Yes I know I'm sick. One these days I'll build a small block. But one small thing for the love of god please replace the main bolts. Arp main studs are like 70 bucks cheap insurance.
Normally we would. This engine is a driver that will be replaced in the next year or two and won't see a lot of high RPM. It is, for now, a stop gap while the owner saves for a new engine.
Hi Guys! No better way to start my day then a new video from Jeff and Cam! Good stuff. Cheers from Motown!
Glad to hear! Thanks for the kind words Robert!
Now there's a real man 👨 🙌 works with no gloves....lol
You know it. STILL picking grubbies out of my fingernails with my Robeson pocket knife.
You can also use vacuum hose in place of the candle stcks.
I still got that 302 block if you need it .040 over w/ crank, all looks good....good series guys.
Good Mornin William! Looking for a 351W short block to stroke "408" into my 67 Gt. N/A, nothing crazy, maybe a F block roller, ? In the Detroit Area. Have a 460 mild built if interested in a swap. Thanks Bob
@@robertclymer6948 Hey Robert, not looking for a swap, don't have any use for it, already offered to Jeff, I live about 5 minutes from him (also, he my Cuz).
BTW, I'm the last 1/2 of the "O" team.
Thanks Bill! Now...where to put it....
good job bros. Keep em coming. The only way I'd keep an old worn out engine or rebuild one is if it was numbers matching. Other than that...Bigger would be BETTER in my opinion. Upgrade! Great video again.
Nice job,I like all your video
Excellent video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Well that timing chain escalated quickly!!! :-) been building small block Fords since I was a teenager... I guess that;s 30 years ago now. love the content, look forward to seeing it go back together. those pistons look like standard lower compression dished units to keep things down under 9:1. how far down from the deck are they? what cylinder head casting was on this engine? thanks, Jeff
The heads are the trashy 1975 302 heads. In fact the whole engine is a reman 1975. So compression is about 8.5:1.
awesome!!!
YEAH!
Yep...while we're here...good stuff guys! And who stands out in the sun shooting for hours? Well....I do :)
Guilty...
I usually just put short sections of fuel line over the connecting rod bolts to protect the crank
Me too. Cam was in a hurry. LOL
The boots off of old spark plug wires works great on the rod bolts to protect the crank and is free.
Great idea. I've used fuel hose too.
Replace just the thrust? You replace all bearings, cam, rods, mains, rings, cam and lifters, timing chain and gears. You can polish valve stems by putting them in a drill press and holding fine crocus cloth around them. We did it for fifty years in the shop. Polished every valve we reused.
Thanks for the tips! We will not be replacing the thrust bearing. Keep in mind that this is a temp engine. The owner plans to replace it with a hotter 302 down the road.
Cam grabs pull handle, “ I like to loosen them a 1/4 turn” Jeff “why?” Cam 🤷♂️. Me: Grabs 1/2” impact LOL 🤷♂️
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Right? I did the same thing on a 302 recently. BUUUURT
Pew Pew Pew
Lets goooo!
Never seen an oil dip stick mounted to the pan in the position, what's that out of?
Are you going to do hardened valve seats or is it not necessary on the pre-emmision heads? Thanks for the video.
We're going to "run what we brung." This engine is not going to be sticking around. The owner will replace it in a year or two with a crate engine.
A short piece of 1/2" cpvc would make a good piston "knockerouter" ( if you got a short piece lying around )
Good idea!
Bob the tomato on veggie tales
I have a 1968 ford 302 that has never had been rebuild I'm wondering how the bearings are after all these years think its got about 80,000 miles on it
If the oil changes were kept up with good quality oils, you are probably OK. oil pressure loss is a sign of mains going south from wear.
@@AutoRestoMod 60 psi oil pressure cold 40 warmed up
How did I know it would go this far?
Well...you know...while we're here....
