This #MotorMonday, we're bringing you our LARGEST installation video to date! Watch as Bill installs a Ford Racing "Ready to Run" 340 HP 306 Cubic Inch Crate Engine in a '67 #Mustang convertible - And learn how you can tackle this project yourself!
I just purchased my first car some days ago. 1965 Mustang, deep red. It's got some chips in the paint and a few rust spots in easy to repair areas, but not too bad. What really sold me though was that the owner explained that a few years back, the venerable old 289 tore itself apart. He decided it was time for some fun, so he replaced it with a 302, Holly 4-barrel carburator, and edelbrock intake manifolds.
That's awesome man. The only reason I comment for this video is because I have a 96 F150 with a 5.0L V8 that I bought from a guy in Wentzville Missouri for $3, 300 and it runs and drives and it has about 200, 000 miles on it.
This is the best engine installation video I have ever seen. Thank you for ur excellent work teaching us how a master mechanic does a professional job.
Some of the best video work on UA-cam. The host was very knowledgeable. Had great delivery. Music usually sucks. Not here. Almost totally seamless. Very well done.
great show. ill be doing a 306 swap on my 82 T-Top nest spring. ( Deployment is getting in my way) but ill save up and watch this 100 time before i try it. thanks
I owned a 1979 5.7 ltr Chevy Blazer 4x4 while living and working in Oman! If anything went kaput I had two Sri Lankan mechanics who'd come over armed with only a Screwdriver and a Pair of Pliers! They could repair just about anything that didn't need spares. They could also get under the bonnet (hood) and I could close it over them lol!
awesome video start to finish, awesome looking engine. Bill makes everything look so approachable and inspires confidence! can't wait to do this to my 67.
Perfect Size Upgrade if Someone Wanted To Take a C or A Code Eng.To Upgrade Just Enough to Be A K Code or S Code Beater,About 70 More H.p. Than the K Code. Great Video !!
I've got a 1966 mustang coupe with a straight-six in it and I want to engine swap for a stronger engine that can get me going quicker. Any suggestions for what I can do that is still in an affordable range?
I am shocked at how rusty the under side was. Wouldn't it be great to get it media blasted and painted to preserve the car. It makes me realize how lucky I am to have a mustang from texas with absolutely no rust. Great install but with endless money most folks couldn't afford the whole shebang. Mine has a real K Code engine with the cobra intake and lemans style holley. It screams with just a .487 lift isky cam(flat tappet). I can get into trouble easily with mine. Keep up the good work and turn the fan around,LOL
once you put the dizzy in, it is gonna spin.. *spins even farther from the mark... pretty sure that fan's kinda backwards too.. may also wanna snug up that ignition coil lol.
I thought it was a great video right down to the items that people don't think about. If I have any criticisms it"s a little long< need more power tools(air or electric), wouldn't hurt to have a second set of hands to show that it isn't always as easy as in the video and the reality of the enviroment most people deal with isn't as clean as in video you have produced.Otherwise it rocks! Have an 88 Cougar XR7 myself and this gives me many bad thoughts. If I wasn't racing dragbikes I might take on a project like this. Thanks Ford racing and CJ Pony Parts. I'm sold!
This one had to be a little long to get as much information as possible in. a second set of hands is a huge help with any projects and having done many engine swaps on cold dirty garage floors makes me really love my clean shop! :)
I watch this video 3 already. So bad ass. Can I do this swap on my 67 with no power steering? I was told i was going to need a 9'rear axel? And a rotor brakes? I also like to run 5 speed manual. This video is great but I'm missing so much more information that I'm slowly gathering. Thank for the information provided here.
Fan is backwards, throttle link is going to bind that way (needs a straight pull), crimp wiring connectors argh. Also I was wondering about the drive line alignment. Top loaders had the shift lever to the left of the output shaft. Pushing the top, centered shift of the tremic over to the hole mis-aligns the drive line.
Question about setting timing - When you started the engine the fan seemed to turn clockwise from the camera's perspective. However, you spun the fan counter-clockwise to feel the "pop" from the compression strock and then top dead center. Shouldn't you turn it clockwise? Sorry if this is a dumb questions... Also, I've seen people use a timing light. How come this wasn't done? Thank you for the help!
What did you guys do about the timing marker and the passenger side water pump outlet? I'm in the middle of this swap and found this issue trying to bolt the water pump on. Also is the hood clearance issue fixable with a different air cleaner set up? I really don't feel like swapping intakes after paying the money for a dressed motor.
We got the motor to top dead center and marked the pulley so we could time it from the side. We did not try a drop air cleaner so I cannot say if that would do the trick or not.
That engine has been discontinued but Ford offers several others. This would be similar www.cjponyparts.com/ford-performance-crate-engine-boss-302-340hp-with-hydraulic-roller-e-cam/p/M607X2302E/
best detailed and organized mechanic on you tube. I always learn a lot. thank you for your very informative videos.👍 Do you build and or restore cars on the side too? thanks again.
Bill, I have a question for you. I am hoping to make this very change in the near future. You mentioned that the engine is too high for a stock hood...due to intake manifold I think you said. Is there a different intake that will work and allow me to keep my original stock hood? Any help would really be appreciated. this is a great video and has been very helpful! Thank you for your time.
How did you mount the alternator with a 5/8” hole on the head and use the smaller original bolt? I’m lost here it doesn’t make sense please enlighten me this has me stuck on my motor. And as well as the headers what kind of headers are they and port opening?
Hi Bill great video you guys rock but question ..I notice you didn't use gasket sealer on the thermostat or thread sealer also the same on the water pump. To go to all the trouble of fitting a new engine I personally would use gasket sealer so nothing leaks was there a reason you didn't use sealers?
I haven't had any issues with the thermostats since I glue the gasket to the housing. A lot of leaks seem to come from the gasket moving so it doesn't seal 100%. Obviously on a job this size there are lots of different ways to handle certain aspects of the install.
Thanks man and I know Edelbrock has an Intake manifold for the 92-96 f150 with 5.0L or 5.8L V8 engines and you can either get the intake manifold from BBK or Ford Racing.
Does this get better gas mileage than the 289? I know curvy has those aluminum crate engines that have more power and better mileage. Didn't know ford had these, thought they only had the huge coyote engine
Hey, I have an Idea.... How about making a video of the engine removal process for the rest of the world that doesn't have a car lift in their garage! With that being said, AWSOME video! This the 1st one seen so far that really goes into detail on the removal and installation process and all the small details for a succesful engine upgrade. Thank You, Alien p.s. you put the fan backwards
Why would you put the radiator in first. Put the pulley on then fan then guide the radiator in. Less chance of damaging the fins on the radiator. Just my 2 cents 👍🏼
the Rodney Dangerfield of muscle car mechanics. Tough crowd I tell ya. I made dinner for my wife the other night. She took one bite and asked me to check the YT comments on how I made it. No respect. >> Very informative said the guy who can install his own fan.
Perfect timing! I've been researching this swap for a few months now for our 64.5 and this video answered a few remaining questions I had as well as helped to finish my shopping list so I don't have to keep stopping when I run into those little gotchas. I'm still trying to decide on a pulley set up. The 3 bolt dampner to run the stock pulleys is almost as much as the March kit. I have a Eaton PS pump and not sure if I can mix and match the under drive pulleys with the Eaton or not. Do you have a part number for the dipstick and tube and Holley fuel line adapter?
+Bill Tumas Hi Bill, which headers from these fits 65 mustang without problems in shock tower, hedman #88300 or hooker #6111-1HKR ? and what is the best in ur opinion in all headers for this model if am going to stroker in few months ? thank u so much
+cjponyparts doing the same swap on a 67 mustang .... have a 1982-95, 302 .... need to know what size tap and plug you used on that hole next to the oil pan
I heard u can put around 310HP max in a 65 mustang because of the way the frame of the car is built it would warp it with that much power is that false or is there a framing upgrade?
You can add subframe connectors to make the car stronger, I would suggest it on any performance build but there is no limitation for HP on the stock setup. Overtime if you are racing the car it can start to twist.
I got a 302 that i want to make fuel injected and turbo ofcourse. But is it worth modifying a block from 1980 or would i be better of buying a fuel injected crate from FORD or any other crate motor vendor?? And then turbo from there?
Samuel Monsivais It is all relative to your goals and budget. Price the necessary machine work for what you have against the cost of buying something else.
That coil was loose. Fan was backwards. I love and need a fan shroud to keep things cooler. Great video though and way better since it was longer than your normal short videos. But this one ended too soon IMO.
WJGRants and Justin Yes you caught me, we were trying to get this done before the SEMA show and the footage was already shot with the fan installed backwards. What can I say? I make mistakes too lol We actually had a bet on how fast someone would notice.
Bill Tumas Lol i was just looking at it for a good 5 min straight thinking in my head that can't be right...trying to think about the direction the engine was turning lol threw me for a loop! Great video though, I love watching these install videos if for nothing more than to gain knowledge for future projects.
Justin LaNoue I turned the key and it fired on the first attempt and I was done. One of the other guys walked by and said the fan didn't look right and I did a double check and sure enough.....oops lol It's fixed now We thought about a reshoot but didn't want to wait until after SEMA so we left it figuring someone would see it eventually, turns out it was immediately :)
Exactly! You're 100% right! He put the Flex a Lite Fan on backwards. Facing the engine, it spins clockwise on these small blocks. Should have noticed that. The Boss will!
You generally don't want to spin the engine backwards because it runs the oil pump backward and can lose prime. The distributor wasn't in the engine at the time, so the oil pump didn't spin. No harm done.
Bill Tumas was there a break in process done not on camera? Were the valves already adjusted properly? What headers did you use? And one more question did you use the same motor mounts or did you have to get a different style than stock?
This #MotorMonday, we're bringing you our LARGEST installation video to date!
Watch as Bill installs a Ford Racing "Ready to Run" 340 HP 306 Cubic Inch Crate Engine in a '67 #Mustang convertible - And learn how you can tackle this project yourself!
+CJ Pony Parts How long did this swap take? And about how much would it cost to do this on an all matching numbers stock 67?
I just purchased my first car some days ago. 1965 Mustang, deep red. It's got some chips in the paint and a few rust spots in easy to repair areas, but not too bad. What really sold me though was that the owner explained that a few years back, the venerable old 289 tore itself apart.

This is the best engine installation video I have ever seen. Thank you for ur excellent work teaching us how a master mechanic does a professional job.
Watching the coil drop at 44:55 and waiting for the wire to hit the fan.
Some of the best video work on UA-cam. The host was very knowledgeable. Had great delivery. Music usually sucks. Not here. Almost totally seamless. Very well done.
Thank you very much!
great video you have no idea how much this helps me at the shop...
You totally made this look easy. Thanks for the video!
We all have that friend who puts the fan on backwards.
Almost 9 years later and you guys still won't let me live that down!! lol. Thanks for watching until the end!
if only it could be done in 45 minutes. i did a refresh of my 88 GT during evenings after work and it took a month... lol
great show. ill be doing a 306 swap on my 82 T-Top nest spring. ( Deployment is getting in my way) but ill save up and watch this 100 time before i try it. thanks
im using my wifes youtube thing. sorry.
I built a 400hp 302 Windsor recently just added Holley EFI and hyperspark ignition
Nice job! you should put a shroud around that fan tho.
I owned a 1979 5.7 ltr Chevy Blazer 4x4 while living and working in Oman! If anything went kaput I had two Sri Lankan mechanics who'd come over armed with only a Screwdriver and a Pair of Pliers! They could repair just about anything that didn't need spares. They could also get under the bonnet (hood) and I could close it over them lol!
awesome video start to finish, awesome looking engine. Bill makes everything look so approachable and inspires confidence! can't wait to do this to my 67.
Frank Careri He is a good mechanic but having a lift is priceless!!
A rebuild at 100,000 miles? My 4.6L has 249,000 and still rolling strong.
Perfect Size Upgrade if Someone Wanted To Take a C or A Code Eng.To Upgrade Just Enough to Be A K Code or S Code Beater,About 70 More H.p. Than the K Code. Great Video !!
I've got a 1966 mustang coupe with a straight-six in it and I want to engine swap for a stronger engine that can get me going quicker. Any suggestions for what I can do that is still in an affordable range?
The fuel lines are connected to the carburetor with flare fittings. No thread sealant is required there
I am shocked at how rusty the under side was. Wouldn't it be great to get it media blasted and painted to preserve the car. It makes me realize how lucky I am to have a mustang from texas with absolutely no rust. Great install but with endless money most folks couldn't afford the whole shebang. Mine has a real K Code engine with the cobra intake and lemans style holley. It screams with just a .487 lift isky cam(flat tappet). I can get into trouble easily with mine. Keep up the good work and turn the fan around,LOL
nothing like dragging the motor over the rad support.. geeze!
LOL
once you put the dizzy in, it is gonna spin.. *spins even farther from the mark... pretty sure that fan's kinda backwards too.. may also wanna snug up that ignition coil lol.
next time, turn the fan around. it's backwards
Maybe he's only going to drive in reverse.
That is hilarious!
watched someone destroy a radiator that way..
I noticed that to, I thought WTF?
I was like what heck? , that's no right
I thought it was a great video right down to the items that people don't think about. If I have any criticisms it"s a little long< need more power tools(air or electric), wouldn't hurt to have a second set of hands to show that it isn't always as easy as in the video and the reality of the enviroment most people deal with isn't as clean as in video you have produced.Otherwise it rocks!

Excellent job; very helpful to the retro novice.
I watch this video 3 already.
So bad ass.
Can I do this swap on my 67 with no power steering?
I was told i was going to need a 9'rear axel? And a rotor brakes?
I also like to run 5 speed manual.
This video is great but I'm missing so much more information that I'm slowly gathering. Thank for the information provided here.
You have been a big help to me and I will be looking forward to buying parts from you
Great video. Might have to reconsider swapping out my motor. Bill makes it look to easy. Definitely going to take me a while
why did he put the cooling fan on backwards
ha ha i dont think it was on purpose
Guess he wanted to use the car as a leaf blower
Fan is backwards, throttle link is going to bind that way (needs a straight pull), crimp wiring connectors argh. Also I was wondering about the drive line alignment. Top loaders had the shift lever to the left of the output shaft. Pushing the top, centered shift of the tremic over to the hole mis-aligns the drive line.

Do Ford performance, offer this crate engine now? I aware it’s a old video.
That engine has been discontinued but Ford offers several others. This would be similar www.cjponyparts.com/ford-performance-crate-engine-boss-302-340hp-with-hydraulic-roller-e-cam/p/M607X2302E/
best detailed and organized mechanic on you tube.
I always learn a lot.
thank you for your very informative videos.👍
Do you build and or restore cars on the side too?
thanks again.
bill why did you put a 289 water pump on the motor?
What size tap and plug did you use on the dipstick hole in the block?
Bill, I have a question for you. I am hoping to make this very change in the near future. You mentioned that the engine is too high for a stock hood...due to intake manifold I think you said. Is there a different intake that will work and allow me to keep my original stock hood? Any help would really be appreciated. this is a great video and has been very helpful! Thank you for your time.
Getting rid of the air gap intake for a stock height 4 barrel intake like the Performer or Performer RPM will allow fitment under a stock hood.
Thank you so much for your help. Your channel is a tremendous help! Keep the info coming!
Just use a shorter air filter XD
Why didn't you use any gasket sealer?
Does changing the oil pan void the engine warranty
Unattractive valve covers
Where can find the engine oil dipstick like the one showing in the car?
i learnt some new stuff....cheers mate
How did you mount the alternator with a 5/8” hole on the head and use the smaller original bolt? I’m lost here it doesn’t make sense please enlighten me this has me stuck on my motor. And as well as the headers what kind of headers are they and port opening?

true that Bill
Hope you put the sealing ring you dropped back on your spark plug 41:47
Thanks man and I know Edelbrock has an Intake manifold for the 92-96 f150 with 5.0L or 5.8L V8 engines and you can either get the intake manifold from BBK or Ford Racing.

How much all together for you to put one in my 65' 289 with toploader 4sp?

This the 1st one seen so far that really goes into detail on the removal and installation process and all the small details for a succesful engine upgrade.
Thank You,
Alien
p.s. you put the fan backwards
Use a Jack & Jack stands
fan went in back ward
Wow what a video!
Does it run cooler with the fan mounted backwards?
LOL we have since fixed the fan.
Bill, Awesome job...
Mike
To plug the factory side dipstick hole what size tape and bolt are you using?
Why would you put the radiator in first. Put the pulley on then fan then guide the radiator in. Less chance of damaging the fins on the radiator. Just my 2 cents 👍🏼
Any body see the coil slide down in the bracket .at 47:03 a Wrench would take care of that .
the Rodney Dangerfield of muscle car mechanics. Tough crowd I tell ya. I made dinner for my wife the other night. She took one bite and asked me to check the YT comments on how I made it. No respect. >> Very informative said the guy who can install his own fan.
you guys are awesome really appreciate the vid
After looking at that lot I think I can just afford the zip ties, lol.
Perfect timing! I've been researching this swap for a few months now for our 64.5 and this video answered a few remaining questions I had as well as helped to finish my shopping list so I don't have to keep stopping when I run into those little gotchas.

I have a Eaton PS pump and not sure if I can mix and match the under drive pulleys with the Eaton or not. Do you have a part number for the dipstick and tube and Holley fuel line adapter?
FL04 is the part number for the hard lines to the Holley 4150 series carb and DSK4 is the blue anodized dipstick and tube from Ford Racing
+Bill Tumas
Hi Bill,
which headers from these fits 65 mustang without problems in shock tower, hedman #88300 or hooker #6111-1HKR ? and what is the best in ur opinion in all headers for this model if am going to stroker in few months ?
thank u so much
Why didn't you just put the distributor back were you found it if I was already right when you pulled it out
are you guys going to do a power steering installation video?
+cjponyparts doing the same swap on a 67 mustang .... have a 1982-95, 302 .... need to know what size tap and plug you used on that hole next to the oil pan
Es necesaria la úbicacion hacia arriba de la bobina ?
Do all crate engines carry the ID tag?
I heard u can put around 310HP max in a 65 mustang because of the way the frame of the car is built it would warp it with that much power is that false or is there a framing upgrade?
You can add subframe connectors to make the car stronger, I would suggest it on any performance build but there is no limitation for HP on the stock setup. Overtime if you are racing the car it can start to twist.
Looks so easy and only in 45mins. I only wish.
Did you have to reinforce the frame?
You do not have to but this car does have subframe connectors.
If i call you guys over the phone will you help me over with a plan of attack for inline6?
great video. music in my opinion is very abrasive..
That's everything nowadays, unfortunately.
Damn. I could not afford the engine, extra parts and labor cost. This will just remain a dream.
ikr. but my only issue the price of the engine. maybe you can find a mustang club in your area to help you learn
Would this crate work in my 94 f150?
I got a 302 that i want to make fuel injected and turbo ofcourse.
But is it worth modifying a block from 1980 or would i be better of buying a fuel injected crate from FORD or any other crate motor vendor?? And then turbo from there?
Samuel Monsivais It is all relative to your goals and budget. Price the necessary machine work for what you have against the cost of buying something else.
1400IntruderVS okay thank u i appreciate the help
What's the part number for the 4 bolt March pulley?
Isn’t that fan backward?
Would of made a solid fuel line with a filter in line and changed wires and cap to blue but nice job!
Bill, have you done a video swapping a new mod engine ?
those top monte carlo bolts are gonna hit the underside of the hood
Anyone know how I can pull my driveshaft out? Seems stuck in the transmission box… everyone else seems to just pull it out with so much ease 😫
New or rebuilt engines should have a Zink additive in or added to the oil. it is to easy to wipe the bottom of a lifter off !
What timing have you ended up with either initial or total I have fitted one of these engines and can find no definative answer.
Started at 10 deg BTC and advanced it about 2 degrees.
Thanks
the fan was put on backwards.. lol, and would have been much easier to remove just the cap to do the water fitting, but overall good video, cool car
Is the fan installed backwards? Or do 67 engines turn counter clockwise? Hard to tell from the video.
Wes G it is backwards.
He f’d up
The fan was installed backwards.
parabéns, pelo ótimo trabalho
You guys need to do a 390 crate engine
I ment to say was you can either the mass air flow sensor from BBK or Ford Racing. com.
Anyone knows how to install engine mounts on a mustang 66? I got the correct mounts but not sure which way it will go
That coil was loose. Fan was backwards. I love and need a fan shroud to keep things cooler. Great video though and way better since it was longer than your normal short videos. But this one ended too soon IMO.
We can't all be perfect.....
@@cjponyparts It was pretty close to perfect.
Nice engine car
Does anyone knows what kind of headers those are ?
Would this 306 crate engine from Ford Racing fit into my 96 F150.
+CJ Colvin You would need to find the correct mounts for it and several other parts since your truck would be a modular or 6 cylinder.
+Durham Porsche Thanks man I really like you're advice.
+Durham Porsche I wish there can be a Coyote swap for the 92-96 F150's.
+Durham Porsche Right thanks man. The reason I ask is because my dad wants me to save up for an engine that gets around 20 mpg.
+Durham Porsche Alright man thank very much I'll let my dad know about it when I got enough money saved up for an engine swap.
The fan was installed backwards?
WJGRants and Justin Yes you caught me, we were trying to get this done before the SEMA show and the footage was already shot with the fan installed backwards. What can I say? I make mistakes too lol We actually had a bet on how fast someone would notice.
Bill Tumas Lol i was just looking at it for a good 5 min straight thinking in my head that can't be right...trying to think about the direction the engine was turning lol threw me for a loop! Great video though, I love watching these install videos if for nothing more than to gain knowledge for future projects.

Bill Tumas it happens to the best of us lol I installed a fan shroud upside down in a van once. And the amazing thing was that it actually bolted on.
I kind of prefer the finned with black finish valve covers.
Wow!! The flex fan is on backwards and you spun the engine the wrong way. Those ford small blocks spin clockwise.
Exactly! You're 100% right! He put the Flex a Lite Fan on backwards. Facing the engine, it spins clockwise on these small blocks. Should have noticed that. The Boss will!
You generally don't want to spin the engine backwards because it runs the oil pump backward and can lose prime. The distributor wasn't in the engine at the time, so the oil pump didn't spin. No harm done.
You installed the flex-a-lite fan backwards
Correct, see comments below. My mistake rushing to get the video done.
the ignition coil is loose!
I want a set of your green screwdrivers
Required? maybe not but I would prefer the peace of mind that I had a new gasket installed.
Bill Tumas was there a break in process done not on camera? Were the valves already adjusted properly? What headers did you use? And one more question did you use the same motor mounts or did you have to get a different style than stock?
omg i want it, thats a beast stang
