Glad you had the spare engine sitting around it will be nice to see the notch running
Moisture shield... sucks when you know it and it doesn’t come to you lol dang all this restoration reminds me of the 14 years I had my fox, you guys do more in 6 months than I did the whole time I had it 😭 always like the videos. Great attitude considering the bad news, I know you guys will bring it back, you always do 😃
Joys of working on projects we have all been there sadly. It’s coming along though and will be awesome when it’s done 👍
Feel for you brother! The Joy's of rebuilds... your doing great stuff, keep after it!!
Bro! This a major suck situation... Good thing you have fox parts laying around!😂😉👍👊😁
Man! Talk about near heart attack!
@@FoxcastMedia saw this upload today at work..... I felt sooo bad when I saw those cracks!!!!
LOVED THE OLD PICTURES Caleb!!!!!!
I feel ya Caleb. Was doing my Terminator build and the motor ended up being spent. So instead of a 3 month build it’s been over a year.
Yes sir, its always something when you are building a car
@@FoxcastMedia those cracks are from it being very hot and out of coolant. It probably had a bad leak and they just kept adding cool water while it was in nuclear meltdown mode...... Id say the main bearings are trashed too
Man, that’s a bummer on that engine....but like you said, awesome you had that other one sitting there! Always been a fan of the B and E cams!
Thanks bud, we are back at it, even though we got kicked in the nuts lol
Haha! Yup, time to get some frozen peas and get back after it!
I believe that SSP engine might be the one that came out of my SSP. Pretty cool
I feel your pain. My 302 didnt have enought power so I needed a 410 Windsor and a t56 and had to smooth the engine bay and upgrade everything. Geez. Even needed Holley EFI. 😜
Love it when there is extra forged 302 sitting around
Yeah I think that's the motor that used to be in my car LOL
GearHead704 you got any more forged motors laying around? lmao
I’ve had a few 96-98 cobras ...and I believe you should start a project on one .The fan base is big for them and it’s be content
Thanks for the tip bud, we are always looking for projects
Foxcast Media Nitrous cobra 👀👀
Like the pushrod stuff .
Got a bunch of E7TE core roller (xxx/yyy) blocks with good holes you wanna pull pistons and flip/refresh. Just lmk ill give you one for the channel.
My supercharger swap on my cobra as been hell. 5 months later and an extra 3000 and I think we got the issues resolved.
That sucks brother.. sounds like my kinda luck. Good thing all us mustang guys keep everything lol 💪
Damn I can’t wait to see it all done super excited I pray I might be chosen it’ll be a great daily for the college life and would love to pull up with it to any first job I get
Unless you are very new to the game or doing something you are a use to paying someone to do the work. You know the deal already. Nothing ever works out nice and simple. But you have to recover and move forward. You and I have emailed before. But after being a patron for all the benefits. Can you find out and make sure I will end up in this drawing if nothing else?
Shoot me an email bud, I can check your Patreon account for you
Dang that’s a sad day. Excited to hear that push rod chop though!
Gotta love the ol’ pushrod 5.o with that E303:)
Clickbait titles and thumbnails are cheesy. Just give it a short descriptive title and a thumbnail without a red arrow pointing to some random thing. You don't have to trick people into watching your videos, they're awesome.
Man...I want that Cobra upper and lower intake!!!
I loved it in matte black
I bet that block cracked all because of that Fram oil filter.
You're lucky you had an extra block laying around most people don't have that opportunity.
I know all about punches in the mouth with Car Projects. Rebuilt the engine on my daily driver twice. Still wasn't running right. Finally one day it started pissing out water. Engine block cracked. Bought a junkyard motor and all the parts needed to get it going including the rotating assembly. Then I got laid off because of Corona and everything's on the back burner and here I am writing this message. It's just punch after punch. And that's not even the project baby, lol. On Project baby I did a hydraulic clutch conversion, and the master cylinder was bad out of the box, lol. How's that for luck
I made 740hp. 5850rpm with the project baby, with a e303 cam and gt40x heads, 302, pump 93. Sure there are better cams out there. But if you could get one for a hundred bucks or less it's worth it. Anything more than that better off getting a custom cam they're not that expensive.
Fram sucks, always run Motorcraft
It's not completely useless. You can turn it into a (albeit hefty) sweet coffee table.
Car looked sick with the PONY R’ S.
Thank you sir, I miss them
I'm thinking about putting the sound of that E303 on a loop for bedtime background noise.
I have an 88 GT T-top coming from my dad for a full restore and the engine is one of my concerns
I don’t get it, you made it sound like it’s the end of the world. For the work you guys do there, does it suck, yeah. But a 302 roller can be found anywhere. Just like when you found that extra one. Even if it’s a budget project a used short block is cheap enough.
My mom had just passed down her 93 convertible, yet it came with a 2.3.. I'd like to restore the car... yet I'm intrested in a EcoBoost swap or something of that nature
"everybody's got a plan until you get punched in the mouth".. ain't that the TRUTH my friend! Glad you had the other shortblock.. Are you going to remove the thermactor bumps on the E7s?
You know you'd be lying, if you said you didn't miss that push rod note 🤔
Music to the ears!
You still have your old block??
I do miss the sound of the cam, but love the extra 136 horsepower lol
@@FoxcastMedia lol😂
@@FoxcastMedia stroker will make up that hp gap.
Hey I know that engine. It used to be in my what is now my SSP before the TFS go fast goodie that's in there now! 😁
Are the E7 heads better then e8 or 9 aren't they the ones with small combustion chambers or something
I'm building a gt-40 headed 302 stock bottom end, what is the biggest lift cam you run in the motor.
Too many variables to answer that for you, when in doubt, check your piston to valve clearance
I just put a lunati cam in my stock bottom end E7 head with 541:549 lift
I have a nice 351windsor withaluminum heads cams forged pistons in all have alot.of stuff. Ditch the 302 amd.go with.351.
those are some weird cracks, wonder what that bad boy went through,
It froze and busted, had water instead of a proper mix of coolant
Where are you getting your quater glass?
sometimes you can get lucky and find a machine shop with a block the customer didn't come to pick up, and can transfer parts over...if anyone wonders what a "fair price" for an engine is, its whatever you could get back if you sold the parts once you found a cracked block. meanwhile, new to this series, not sure why you wouldn't just pick up an Explorer 5.0 for a 4 --> 8 swap and get the GT40P heads and Cobra type intake. I mean if you're going to take it apart, you can do forged pistons leftover from someone's stroker project and come out ahead.
ugh that sucks!
Yes sir, it did lol
WHAT SIZE IS THE REAR TIRE ON YOUR OLD SET UP??
That car would look bad ass painted sonic blue with the black interior.
Bad ass AFR hood jacket.
Thank you sir, they make top notch heads
The automatic captioning translated your exhaust clip as eh-eh-eh-eh- eh-eh-eh-eh- eh-eh-eh-eh. Guess it went into Beavis and Butthead mode!!!
Hahahahahahah
If the four eye is a give-away car, let us know how we enter. Yeah, a cracked block is bad. As many of these blocks are still just laying around in any wrecking yard, coast to coast, it's not like it can't get put together. Y'all having one sitting in your old shop just proves what I said. I hope you guys want to put the Detroit Speed parts in this car also. I've looked at sub-frame connectors and those are the smartest built ones I've come across. The Team Z's don't look easy or solid. The four-eye should be nothing short of bad ass. A stroker windsor, with a solid car, it should haul ass!
R u gonna install the pistons backwords?
351w stoker time!!!!
Just another hurdle! You sound like someone just ran over your dog when you seen the block cracked! Keep on keeping on brother!
Whats your thoughts on the holley terminator x? I'm going to be doing the trick flow top end on my 1993 and was wondering if the holley would be worth the add.
You buy a new Boss or Dart block and start over. Next question!
Not in the budget, unfortunately
It was probably that Fram oil filter.😂
This.apart of.building projects
I gota find me one of those AFR jackets...
Is this a common thing for these as this looks just like what happened to a friend of mine .
What heads you gonna put on there? I've got a set of Crane 1.7 rockers for stock heads that I can hook you up with? Might cost ya a Foxcast hat or somethin'. Lol
I got a Dart Block, 347 Stroker for sale
Project 4 to 8 should get the new 7.3L Godzilla V8.
I wish, but soon we will do more epic shit
@@FoxcastMedia Now that would be awesome.
How much as.it sits?
Thats whats missing from the new 5.0, if only
Ghost cam tune sounds just like it
This is a great example of the small block Ford’s weak spots. Only 4 bolts per cylinder to hold the heads.
Just use some JB weld on it.
And zip ties should do it!
@@FoxcastMedia Don't forget the bubble gum and bailing wire.
tried to send it, but it has already been sent
Yeah it is now getting sent to the scrapyard
What a bummer.
Can you still enter to win 4 to 8
Yes sir, link in video description
Sorry for the setback
Thanks bud, we are already back rolling
:( damn man that sucks!
Yes sir, it does
the Fram filter didn't help.lol
One thing dats good 302 h.os.are.cheap to get.
Why would you machine E7 heads
looks like someone used water instead of antifreeze and the ice cracked the block.
Just say "No" to Fram filters.
Why?
What are better choices of filters for fords?
@@EASTCOASTIMPERIAL ya anything other than fram
Motorcraft FTW
Used a fram all my foxes for over 20years with zero issue.maybe it lack of oil changes or over due intervals that was the issue
@@EASTCOASTIMPERIAL Motorcraft.
5.8 swap or 4.6 swap
I would love to do a Windsor, budget says no
@@FoxcastMedia I hear ya.... love the build so far. Just a thought with patina look a set of turbines would look great on that car. 225/60/15 on the front and 295/50/15 out back. You going to grind the humps out of exhaust ports?
Somebody forget the antifreeze.
Ls swap it
Holy shit found on road dead
It’s what you do after you get punched in the mouth 👍
Why are you upset you have lots of money to buy a brand new one your acting like your broke lol
