I’ve contemplated rebuilding my 351W from my 95 Lightning, I’ve watched plenty of other “at home no machine shop” rebuilds and they all left me skeptical, not much info / advice in those videos, I watched your at home rebuild then this video and I have to say you shot my confidence in myself out the roof, Im excited to pull mine out and get started now, thank you for your time and advice
Nice I just got a 84 I picked up and doing a vlog on it as well you should check it out I’m gonna need a lot of help lol pretty much the same as what you did I found you searching a rebuild I already have the rod and crank bearings and rings, arp head studs and rod bolts and full gasket kit
Watched you build the engine and you said you had to have the car running in 7 days if i remember right here it is 8 months! Thats why you guys piss me off! Just leave people hanging
Lol I’m just a dad with a full time job. As you know, money runs out and life happens. I never intend to make anyone upset. If I ever make money from this, then I can commit more time to the channel
I can’t remember exactly. Bearings were $180. Cam on facebook for…..cant remember. Oil pan was expensive but you dont need that. Gasket kit around $100. You can get cheaper bearings than what I got. I built this to go road racing. If your just building a street machine you could probably do it all for $300 including stones to hone. Check out the video on the channel of me rebuilding this engine!
Great encouraging vid...love it!
Thanks for the kind words!

How much do you think it cost to rebuild it yourself?
