Well I’ll tell you this. Being a Ford tech 1987-2014 .. the 5.0’s were bullet proof! And still are .. They were installed in many cars /trucks. I’ve seen 302’s in town cars used for limos with 750,000 miles on original engine .. they might of went through 3 transmissions but were great. Worst ford engine was the 3.8 engine.. I was doing head gaskets every day on them.. They were in the Taurus .. continental..sables .. I must of done ..no joke .. over 400 tear downs and head gaskets on them. 3.8 with the “injection” stamped on the clam shell. But .. I’m a 5.0 for life ..great engines.
I had a '74 AMC Hornet Sportabout with a 258 cid and auto transmission. I drag raced it, successfully. It wasn't fast, but, it was a consistent 18.2X in the quarter mile. It was a very good bracket car!!! Ahh, the good ol' days!!
My 1973 AMC/AMX has a 360 that was supposed to be High performance it had over 100,000 miles on it but it ran fairly well,but I did try to get a 401 highway patrol intercepter that has a wicked cam in it but ended up selling it to the guy who had the motor
Three hundred and five...🙄 These small engines weren't muscle car engines. AMC, for example, had two engines that fit that niche, the 390 and 401. The 304 was the grocery getter V8. My CJ7 has a 304. It's a dog as far as performance even with a mild cam. 4 bbl carb and long tube headers. Maybe one day I'll build the 360 or 401 I have stored.
The engine in 23:34 is a 3800 series 2…..not a 3.1. The 3800 series 2 the 3800 series 2 had a supercharged version, and were damn good engines. In 2004 the engine became the series 3 engine……this engine had a supercharged version as well.
My boss had a 3800 3 supercharged and I put an intercooler on it and charged the pulley and man that thing would run. It was a Black Bonneville. It had the Series 3 3800. I put a tune for the boost and injectors fuel pressure and stuff. It would smoke the front tires.
This video will be judged as one of the worse videos to ever grace the innerwebs. Who compiled the video clips that showed 86/87 Buick Grand Nationals and T/Types burning rubber with late 70's and early eighties versions of the turbo 6 Buick engines.

The AMC 304 was never marketed as a performance engine in stock form. And the 258?? Really? AMC had the 390 and 401 for that. This video is silly.
The 304 was a performance engine in the Gremlin X.

The engines that you are talking about should match the videos. They are way off.
What a sloppy mess that video was.
This video is confusing. It's supposed to be worse muscle car engines but has many v6s and 4s that weren't put in muscle cars.

Video doesn't match talk ford shows gm vehicles
Can't you tell the difference between a 302 v8 and a 2,3 4cyl ?
You noticed that too. If my Fairmont had that really two sided 4 cylinder I'd have prolly killed myself.

Bring back Carburetors and Mechanical Distributors!!
The 351M was never put in the Mustang or Torino.
351M came out for 1975 and later
Childish video of non performance motors
2.3 pinto motor with a turbo ford lemon
Pinto's hat two liters. Used in formula ford race cars.
@@mgrzx3367 who told you that google it lol
Since when does wind, long I, means wind, short I?
Video doesn’t match anything that is said. So, we are left to guess what the engine really looks like.
Sorry! It was hard to find accurate videos of the exact engines we found during research.
First off there never was an oil crisis. It was a way for greedy spoiled rich people to raise the price and the profits from the oil.
Mustaro
Muscaro?
😂 😂😂😂😂
Quit showing camaros when talking ford.
Pontiac trans Am was soo ugly
yeah, you talk about the 318, but showing the hemi. you talk about v6's and show v8's, the same with the 4 cylinders!!! there is a problem here!!!!
