Haha you recognized his voice... better Aleeve it alone 😂😂 can't wait to watch the rebuild video! Super happy you found a block Luis. Great video Brother 🤟
Im pretty happy about it too! The guy was super cool, he was building a Mazda Miata and thats what this block was meant to go in, luckily he changed his mind and sold it to me! 😂
Thank you, I have a good feeling about this block, I think it will be fine. Im glad the bread pulled that bearing out, because the way it was broken a regular puller might not work 😮
That block is off an SN95, yeah the timing cover is different, I learned so much putting this one together, I also didn’t know that the piston rings are different (metric) than the older 302
Very nice! I'm glad you found a new heart replacement. Can't wait to see this all unfold. BTW, I was thinking "why is there a loaf of bread sitting there", then I saw the pilot bearing and it all hit me, LOL.
Great video Luis! That is an amazing find! Definitely keep use the Cobra intake Bro! Just my opinion.😎 Love that bread trick for the pilot bearing! This is getting exciting for the T-Top!! 💯👊🏾
Im excited to get the car running! Im definitely gonna use a couple of things from the old 302, like the accessories, the intake and headers. It also has gt40 heads but I fear that all that stuff is gonna be damaged so I rather not count on it. 😢
that longblock looks to be in good shape! I tried to do the bread trick under the car and that was a pain, went and rented the pilot bearing puller from oreilly! that still took alot of effort from underneath the car!
I’ve used the bread trick a few times under the car, and its very awkward because I was laying on my back! This time I had no choice because the pilot bearing was chipped and had chunks missing, I don’t know if the puller would have worked well 😂
The bread trick!! I would guess it’s from a 94-95. It has 94-95 fuel rails. Not gonna need the smog pump? In California? 🤔 that’s a genuine Cobra intake too🤘
Yeah, that bread did the job! A dentist told me that sandwich bread is one of the common reasons tooth fillings get knocked out too 😂😂… the smog pump probably won’t work since the engine is going on a Fox, I think that timing cover might not work for me either with the front accessories 😢
@@MstaEd Are you talking about a 94-95 Cobra intake? Because that is completely different… the one on the t-top is a 93 style, Im not sure that it’s one off an actual Cobra car, but it’s definitely not a later Ford Racing reproduction, because those have a flat section past the throttle that says Ford Racing.
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 I have a 94 Cobra motor on a engine stand. The cobra is cast into the intake and painted black. Not sure what the reproduction looks like.
Yeah I know what you mean, the intake that is on the back of the truck came off a 94-95 GT so the lower intake is from a Gt, the 93 Cobra intake is the one on the beginning of the video when I open the hood of the car, 93s had a plaque and the cobra wasn’t cast into the intake like the later ones
Great score on the headache relief. The bread hack always works. That’s cool you recognized him. 😂
Have a great day!
👊😎✌️
Yes sir, it really does the job! Less messy than packing grease in there, which also works great! 😂

Great find my friend. I wish you the best. Ha ha bread always dose the trick. Thanks for sharing. Great story my friend,
Thank you, I have a good feeling about this block, I think it will be fine. Im glad the bread pulled that bearing out, because the way it was broken a regular puller might not work 😮
I’m not sure how I missed this! That had an odd water pump housing. Almost like an Explorer

Im excited to crack it open and make sure everything inside looks good, I want to replace all the gaskets before I drop it in 😂!
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 good plan. I need to pull the motor out of my 89 and seal it up. It's a leaker.
@@89G definitely pull it out, trying to do it inside the car is possible, but also a major pain 😬😄
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 I also want to clean up the engine bay. It's a huge pain trying to get that really clean with everything in the way.

@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 You will definitely know more when you begin tearing down the old 302. I sincerely hope it goes well! 💯👊🏾
Awesome video Brother!!! Thats a awesome story and funny 😄 no more headache! Lol
Im gonna find out in the next coming days, but the block spins pretty well and it appears to have good compression! Im feeling good about it!
that longblock looks to be in good shape! I tried to do the bread trick under the car and that was a pain, went and rented the pilot bearing puller from oreilly! that still took alot of effort from underneath the car!
That one at O’Reilly’s wouldn’t work for us. My brother had the right slide hammer adapter

@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 yeah it definitely tough laying on the ground andtrying to get that pilot bearing out!
Great marketplace find! Wanted to Aleve a comment about how I love the bread trick too. 😂
Thanks! Im cleaning up the block and putting new gaskets in, besides the broken pilot bearing everything is looking good 😂🤟…
Great video thanks for sharing can't wait for more
Thank you! Im hoping I can get this going quickly to be able to post more videos 😂

Don't think that is a genuine factory intake. I have two factory Cobra intakes and this ain't it.
