You are a hell of a trooper. Going to school full time, working and having a project car? That's a lot of juggling. You're a very smart 20 year old and I hope to see the Galaxie up and running soon.
That's awesome! Only 20 and doing the Hot Rod thing. Your parents are awesome! Most dudes your age don't have their license yet and still playing video games. I'm impressed.
Back in the 50s and 60s, Borg Warner made an overdrive unit. Dodge and Ford used it. It also, under certain speeds would disengage the trans...the vehicle would free wheel till you got over 20 mph. The had one made for the big block FE in trucks. It had a 27% OD gear, making the vehicle much more fuel efficient. Just a bit of info you may find useful.
I am BTW, a Ford Galaxie fan. 1970 Ford Galaxie 500, 2dr, Sort Roof, 351W, 3sp FMX (prefer to step up to a C4 high output trans) with 9inch HP rear and minor mods. I miss my bone stock version that I was given from my grandfather, that I was forced to junk a very long time ago. Yes, forced to do so.
My 64 Galaxie had manual steering..it was a bear. But, on the road, it was wonderful. By the way...you have such a wonderful personality...its so inviting. I bet you make many friends at every function you attend. The 69 LTD coup with a 390, C6 was 3632. They were not heavy for their size at all.
That will be a great street engine. Should have a nice flat torque curve which will help with fuel mileage and drivability. Makes me happy to see you young guys keeping the old cars on the road. Keep on keepin on!
Can't wait to see you driving in the 64, and your right they are not that heavy , mine had a 390 3x2s and a 4spd , and it was fast.......your doing the right plan with it .....biggest thing is to get it on the road and enjoy it
Hey craig I really do dig the channel! I have a 1994 f-150 4x4 reg cab SB 5.0 5 speed. I plan on building up my 302 but, it only has 109k miles and I’ve been getting about 19mpg average in it by shifting before 2250 RPM’s! These 302 roller engines get great mileage if you drive them right! I had a 92 mustang gt 5.0 5 speed and I used to get 30mpg just by driving slower! I still go the speed limit, but the trick is to use the least amount of gas pedal to get up to speed and the 302 is torquey enough to swallow it up and get there! i love them!
Good work. Keep it up. You’re learning. I do find it funny though that y’all need a hoist to lift that engine block up onto the tailgate when I lifted my block all by myself. Haha! I lifted it up and put it into an oven at my house with 400 degree heat blasting at me and powder coated it myself in my kitchen, using an old regular household oven a friend gave me. Used Eastwood’s chrome finish as a base, followed by their translucent blue. That little 302 stroker came out GORGEOUS! Check out Eastwood and do the powder coating yourself. 👍
So good to see things coming together! I agree with your decision, doing it right the first time....saves alot of headache down the road. Take your time. Enjoy the ride!
A rolling assembly short block is the way to go. Even if you could save a few bucks doing it yourself still time is money. Looking forward to hearing it run!
My absolute favorite build series on RUclips. I WANT MORE VIDS lol. Long term, what engine are you swapping in? (Not real sharpe on pre 68 ford knowledge. What big blocks were popular, since the 460 and 429 hadn’t been produced yet.)
You're doing things the smart way. Take your time. Think everything through. What you'll end up with is exactly what you want. I'm a huge fan & look forward to every video.
I'm from Missouri as well. The part of Missouri I live in is St.Louis Missouri but I live in the county though. I would rather live in Missouri than live in California.
A lot of people have the misconception about the weight of the 64 Galaxie 500. The Galaxie actually weighs less than a GTO or many Mopars of the same year and classed as a full sized car. Just like many people think that a Plymouth Fury is a heavy car and it is not. Many cars weigh more than full sized Fury. Why do you think they used these cars to race with?
Second mistake, If the c4 you get is stock the second time you shift to second under full throttle is will break the trans. Same 61 Falcon as before I did just that and had to limp it home in low because the second gear clutches or band(getting to old I can't remember) went away and would upshift after a full throttle shift to second and it was in a much lighter car with 3.90 gears. Be warned.
Im glad you are finally going roller. When you said you were going to switvh the cam later to a high lift , high duration cam and reuse those lifters. Thats probably not true. I think those oe roller lifters that have the dog bone to keep them from turning, have a limit on how much lift you can run . Might ck into it.
@@Thecraig909 The important thing when keeping freshly machined parts in a plastic bag is to keep condensation from spot rusting them. If keeping in garage, punch small holes in the plastic so the moisture can escape. Or you can just put them in your room...with the cam and lifters. Keep up the good work and stay focused!
My 95 falcon sedan and my 2001 falcon ute both have roller cams gt 40 heads stock from factory 2001 is full electronic ignition and remapped the PCM to the the highest available when I worked at a Ford dealership and goes like a scalded cat so with a 110 km speed limit you have to watch out for the boys in blue 😊
Compression is kind of high, you need to make sure you run the highest grade gas you can. If you don't you will probably suffer pre-detonation and break the ring lands. I built a 302 for a 61 falcon and had that happen, so be careful
I’ve been binge watching your videos during this virus thing. Love the truck and your videos but I’ve gotta ask, what do you use in your hair lol? It’s always so perfect 👌
Yes!! A good machine shop is worth 100,000 miles for a motor, that is. I use one machine shop only, that has been around here forever. Paying the bill, is done with no questions asked with what they needed to do.
first. try to figure out which firing order the cam is ground for.. the conventional 5.0 or the HO5.0 they are different.. what kind of lifters are those.. are they stock type.. with full travel without oil.. where the plunger will depress about 1/4" or the anti pump up versions that only have a very limited no oil in the lifter depression of the plunger.. turn one over and see how far is depresses with the end of a pushrod. what kind of rockers are you going to use.. don't forget that the GT40P heads have a steel channel to align each 2 rocker arm pedestals. because you have milled the heads and replaced the valve seats you are going to have to custom check every valve clearance. depending on which rockers you use and which lifters those are.. if you are going to use stock pedestal rockers.. you can get selective thickness shims to go in the channels under the pedestals to move them up. if you have to shorten the adjustment... you can grind a little off the bottom of the pedestal.. Ford Racing M6529A302 Rocker Arm Shim Kit or Crane Cams 99170-1 Rocker Arm Pedestal Shim Kit be sure to have one package of them if you are not using roller rockers. you can get roller pedestals that work with the stamped rockers.. why is the firing order important.. and you can tell what it is with a friends fingers over the spark plug holes as you rotate the crank 1/4 turn at a time...
@@Thecraig909 did the lifters come from schneider or the engine rebuilder.. those look like rebuilder lifters.. push the plunger down.. how far does it move.. less than 1/8" or more than 3/16" ... you can ask which firing order to use.. and what would they prefer the lobe on the base circle.. no oil in the lifter, clearance to be with the plunger bottomed out. you will also probably need to check to see if the tip of the rocker arm is properly sweeping the tip of the valve.. so you might need a pair of adjustable pushrods.. and a 12" dial caliper from harborfreight so you can really measure the length of the pushrods when you have set them.. HF 63713 is the caliper item number.
I wonder how much the compression is going to come up after milling the heads? It will make it slightly more higher performance being a little more compression. I had my 302 heads planed and it really helped the performance in my mind LOL I bet it runs good when you get it done. Its going to flyyy. Yeah that was a pretty good expense 5, Grand. You will have motor that will last a long time.
I really liked that 64 galaxy it has lines similar to my 64 Pontiac cat 2+2 the weight is the same the big difference is mine had a 421 try-power 4 speed used premium gasoline. But at 35cents a gallon who cares. Wish I had it today.
Dont fuss over the haters I like the way you go about things more fun to just drive them and not have to worry about what others think you should do to it build it to what you want I'm here because I like what you do and I learn some things along the way keep up the great videos 👍
Over the years I've bought two 302 short blocks. Both were bought from different places. But they both had the same problem. The rings were not clocked right on the pistons. Neither were the rod bolts torqued properly. So, when you get your short block you may want to check these things before you start putting it together. Just so you will know for yourself that everything is the way it should be. The Ring lands on both of mine were not oiled either. Neither was the piston skirts. The first engine once it was put together it smoked like a freight train. I had to take it back apart and reclock the rings. That's when I found out the rod bolts were not torqued to spec. You don't want to get it together and in the car running before you find this out. Since you are a young man I thought I would tell you this just in case you didn't know.
I have a 1965 ford f100 352 2bbl carb with a cruise o matic and been wanting to rebuild it? Is this engine worth rebuilding and if so what would you do with it?
@@bigheadedmartian What would I do with it? I would try to hunt down a set of 390 4brl heads with big valves. A 352 and a 390 are very close kin to each other. They are both FE engines. But anyway, I would get the same cam that came in the HP 390. With 390 heads and the right cam, you can make that 352 perform just like a 390. With one exception. The 352 has a shorter stroke than the 390. So, you get it breathing right and it will spin higher in the RPM range than a 390. And it will spin up faster. The 390 has a slightly bigger bore than the 352. But not enough difference to really matter. I have three 65 Galaxies. Two have 390's and one has the 352, 4brl. Between the cars performance-wise, I can't hardly tell the difference. I put stock 390 4brl heads on it and a better 390 cam. Can't hardly tell them apart in looks or performance. If you can't find a set of 390 production heads, they are being reproduced in aluminum. Or, you can take your 352 2brl heads and have them cut for larger 390 valves. 352 - 3.50 inch stroke x 4.00 bore 360 - 3.50 inch stroke x 4.05 bore 390 - 3.78 inch stroke x 4.05 bore
Don't waste your money on a performer intake its good but why buy two the performer RPM intake and cam you got will match up and when you step up the cam you still have the right one!
the 60’’s galaxie’s are actually realy light cuz they were making them competitive in nascar. You know back when nascar actually raced cars that you can actually buy! They lightened up the body and frame and it made most of them rust the fuck out! check out junkyard dig’s 69 galaxy video! its nice its was a fastback and a 390 with a 4 speed i think!
So when you get your 390 or 460 big block for the Galaxie, will this new small block you're getting go in the truck but keep those awesome sidepipes? Would be an awesome double swap!
Cool project. I am half way across the country from you, but I have two 64s and an automotive machine shop. Also have a friend who owns a bone yard who has 6 of the same year of his own. I'm to far away to help you with the machining, your's is mostly finished anyway, but if you have difficulty finding OEM parts We may be able to help you. One of mine is a rag top the other is fastback. All of my friends are fastback. Looked like they may have installed hardened exhaust seats, is that correct?
I hope your College degree is in Mechanical Engineering :) I think the cam duration is way to long... I prefer a 242 248 Comp Cam, longer duration on the exhaust side to help it breath better. But I was the guy saying find a good 352 and stroke it to a 390 :) A 64' looks weird with a 302 in it!
I know this video is 8 months old but I really want to see the galaxie on the road. By the way I had a 66 galaxie 500 r code triple black when I was 16.
Great video, but why didn’t you build the extra 289 or 302 you bought for your truck a while back and build those knowing that they could have been better
Don't throw away the damper, it can be rebuilt, or used as a core return, check out damperdoctor.com for other Galaxie parts see Macs or Deatborn classics, they have many of the parts you will need.
I got a question. Why don't you put a 390 in it? You was wanting to make it as close to original as possible and I'm not a ford guy but I do think that's what came out in the Galaxie 500 isn't it?
Well when it's all said and done you'll have a car that you can road trip and feel reasonably comfortable that your not going to have a catastrophic failure ...
You are a hell of a trooper. Going to school full time, working and having a project car? That's a lot of juggling. You're a very smart 20 year old and I hope to see the Galaxie up and running soon.
Means a lot you noticed that. I’m a super busy person. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. 👍🏼

Yea these cams are super nice
Get that stuff that was sandblasted primed before it starts rusting again, just touching it will start it rusting again
I find the weight hard to believe. My Galaxie is drag raced and goes across the scale almost every two weeks and mine weighs 3980
What is the Machine Shop that made your engine?
3600 and change.... dawg that's heavy
I hope your College degree is in Mechanical Engineering :) I think the cam duration is way to long... I prefer a 242 248 Comp Cam, longer duration on the exhaust side to help it breath better. But I was the guy saying find a good 352 and stroke it to a 390 :) A 64' looks weird with a 302 in it!
I know this video is 8 months old but I really want to see the galaxie on the road. By the way I had a 66 galaxie 500 r code triple black when I was 16.
Hey there’s a clip where you can see like a catch tray do you put that under your truck always to see if it leaks anywhere?
It does leak. It’s just there to catch it
Thecraig909 damn I could never remember to put that there whenever I park
Y'all need a Craig Facebook page! Ay, maybe I can temporarily change my name n come out to California n build Ford stuff!!!!
From what I know, you can swap the power steering from a mid 70s into your truck. My '69 f100 has power steering off of a '79
Let's do it!!!!!
I’m a craig too and i also own a 1994 f-150 4x4 5.0 5 speed too!
The Craig909. The other Craig needs a web site. all of us do not do the social media thing.
Haha hes working on it
Damn nice car, or it will be
Drop a 460 in either of your truck or the Galaxie!!
Craig, well planned out. Us older guys who have walked the path before you absolutely understand. Remember...its your car do whatever you want.
Love ur truck so damn much 🤤
No, I’M Dirty Dan!
You need an engine 101 class.
What are you talking about Springfield is the best! Do you ever go to the Kearny street cruse?
So what happens to the good (and bad) stuff you got back from the machine shop? Are you going to sell it or use the good stuff in other projects?
Great video, but why didn’t you build the extra 289 or 302 you bought for your truck a while back and build those knowing that they could have been better
I will take a California battery tray over a Minnesota tray any day
Don't throw away the damper, it can be rebuilt, or used as a core return, check out damperdoctor.com for other Galaxie parts see Macs or Deatborn classics,
they have many of the parts you will need.
Appreciate the info! I’ll look into it
Wish I was near California Id trade you my C4 for the AOD. Im all the way in Florida tho.
Yes plus its not carrying The weight of a big block either its gonna be sweet
Anybody else see his disco ball haha
I got a question. Why don't you put a 390 in it? You was wanting to make it as close to original as possible and I'm not a ford guy but I do think that's what came out in the Galaxie 500 isn't it?
GT-40P heads take a P style header.....I found out the hard way. Regular headerrs for a 302 won't fit.
I have headers that will fit thankfully.
@@Thecraig909 awesome. The exhaust ports are at a weird angle....found that out on a 1990 LX build...
Cool
Fix the metal and put a sealed battery in the trunk.
Well when it's all said and done you'll have a car that you can road trip and feel reasonably comfortable that your not going to have a catastrophic failure ...
Hell man he ain't that far from me I'm 40 mi from Jefferson City MO which is the capital
I can't decide if you look more like;
Rick Astley "Never Going To Give You Up" or...
Martin Milner (officer Pete Malloy) of 1 Adam 12.
Was that painted black??? Why not Ford engine Blue???
i was going to join f100 world but there is no page anymore
The wife says new Craig is hot
is there anyone making dent side videos like these?
My dream is to get on RUclips and see that you took and shredded your truck at the hoonigan burn yard
