Appreciate this kind of no-nonsense, "git 'er done" style of vid. No yap (not that I mind your yap), just tearin' an engine down and getting on with it. Well done, sir.

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

Very glad to hear that you enjoyed it so much.Thanks for watching

[@jamesharris2615]

Even more satisfying than a tear down... Seeing whats being built that's going back in it's place.... And just some friendly advice, throw those cylinder head bolts away. They're usually only good for one good round. ARP makes a nice set for the SBF.

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

Yea I can't wait for the build video! All new hardware always goes back wherever possible with my cars. Aside from hating crusty bolts it's the safe bet. ARP is always the way!

[@Inspirat0]

Theres something quite satisfying with watching a tear down of an engine, thanks for the video

[@jamesharris2615]

I was JUST about to say that! 😂

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

Thank YOU for watching!!

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

Thank you as well!🤘🏻

[@GWBergen61]

That mill looks in pretty good shape shouldn’t be too costly a rebuild.

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

Yea it looks decent! .040 over pistons in it

[@fraserobrien3828]

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

Most peaceful engine tear down video I’ve ever seen😂 went well with my morning coffee after last night 5am garage session 👌 everything looks in decent shape, someone’s been in there with those new pistons. Keep it up brother

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

Mmmmmm coffee. Yea I saw you had a late one lol. Glad you like it buddy!

[@DominatorGarage]

I see a stock 87-93 mustang motor when I see one. Good engines

[@AutoAli]

That is a dang nice engine you got there... Can't wait to see where it goes from here!!

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

It aint too bad! Hope it goes vroooom lol

[@Gtsteveb]

Looking forward to your strategy on this project 👍👍👍

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

You and me both! Can't wait to get it running!

[@MLCAPE]

Ah yes that 289 intake manifold doing great things for that 302's cooling system lol

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

Lol beautiful thing isn't it

[@donaldcaissie]

Love it!

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

Thanks!!

[@Dan_Mark_Auto]

Awesome video! Loved the tear down.

[@j.b6561]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gearhed31]

Great vid !!
Looks like that engine didn’t need a tear down ? Looks recently rebuilt or did it have low compression, etc ??
Keep up the great work !!

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

Thank you for watching! Its not really bad but the water jacket is FULL of garbage so it un doubtably would have had cooling issues continue. Could use a hot tank and light hone.

[@krisgustoff]

Notification gang, mount up!

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

Waddddduuuppppp!!!

[@alanwhite3280]

Hone, rings, timing chain?

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

I honestly could 🤷‍♂️

[@trentdawg2832]

What was wrong with this motor???

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

Really the only thing wrong was being a complete mystery. This car is going to get driven hard across the country and that's not something I want to do on a motor I have no clue about health wise. Gonna be built or replaced with something stronger.

[@trentdawg2832]

@@RidicULooseAutomotive ….well it looks to be a 90’s model roller block….i have a 5.0 that came out of a ‘96 bronco that has that same xxx casting in the lifter valley…..judging from your tear down it looked to be a very solid motor….i pulled mine apart too , im adding higher compression aftermarket pistons and 58cc chamber aluminum heads ….going for 10:1 compression….when that motor is done it will replace the tired 289 in my sons ‘67 mustang……which ive already converted to efi last year, and it made a night and day difference…..its an ACE’s killshot unit, you should look into one, they are very reasonably priced right now
