I made a mistake at 5:39 where I talk about increasing cylinder diameter with a honing tool. While technically possible, it's a terrible approach as it'll take forever and will likely result in uneven cylinder walls. The cylinders need to be professionally bored and checked against one of the pistons (that will be installed) to ensure proper fitment/clearances.
Well what you said is true, there are some amazing honing machines out there now that do exactly what you said initially. You should look up some information and videos on the Sunnen and SV-10. It's a fully automated hone. It can detect cylinder board distortion and correct it itself leaving you with perfectly straight and round cylinders. It's amazing.
@@AimForTheBushes908 with the crazy engine swaps people are doing these days, I'd say there's probably a few experts on engine swapping chevy cavaliers at this point lol
@@AimForTheBushes908 there's a major flaw with the Chevy Cavalier, one that the engineers always seem to over look. That flaw being it's a Chevy and it will never reach the potential of Ford quality.
This is gonna be a badass 3v, hoping in a few years I’ll be able to look back at these videos and use them as a reference when I have the money to build mine
How this channel doesn't have 1M subscribers amazes me. Clear concise video with professional edits that enhance the subject matter being discussed. This channels better than most others out there.
Just FYI, the honing tools that most shops have are for reconditioning the bores during a rebuild, not increasing displacement. They're basically just for getting the cross-hatch pattern back into the cylinder walls. Also for trans, the T56 Magnum is supposed to be a beast.
Don't think listen to the hate. I have been following your build since the beginning. Keep up the great work looking forward to see the dyno numbers on the engine rebuild!
And it turned out beautifully, as expected. This guy took the right approach to everything, broke down every step to the point where it's almost a case study for making N/A power with a 3 valve. The end result is a lunch-money-stealing car that will humble many a chevy/dodge owner on the road. Eeked out 400whp with off the shelf parts, nothing crazy expensive if youre chasing N/A power for bragging rights. Just a properly planned build.
I have a boosted 3v making a conservative 420whp 😂😂 it’s hard to believe you might be pushing 420wheel NA. Hope to build my bottom end sometime. You should put a price list together in your description.

Hey foureyes, I'm super stoked that you're doing this. I have an 06 GT and am in the process of looking into your same build. This will be one monster of hp and torque.. after your build is complete and when you get the time to, do a video of the COMPLETE AND TOTAL breakdown of cost and anything else you needed to modify or upgrade too. I am in absolute love with your car and it's look thus far and keeping it sleeper or stock looking is what I'm doing also, with the exception of wider wheels and rubber. Good luck and until next upload!
This level of build takes time, so I'd imagine when you're ready to build your engine it'll have any last-minute changes updated. It's been spot on so far and covered everything.
@@NicholasSunderland and yes, exactly what I meant Nicholas. I don't make fun of lists and information that foureyes has posted for us all to see and use.

I've just went through a ton of your videos. WOW. Thanks for documenting it. I can't wait to get into my 2005 4.6 and get my cams put in. I bought my car in 2004 and have just over 40,000 miles on it currently. She is definitely a garage queen.
I’m glad you’re building your 3v. I also have an 07 which I plan to build one day and I’ve always wanted to run a setup almost identical to what you have. Twin turbo, Manley connecting rods and such. When I first got the car I wanted to coyote swap it, but after attending mustang week in myrtle beach SC for a couple years, I decided I want to build the 3v, because it’s so rare to see a built 3v even at an event all about mustangs. All you see is coyotes everywhere and every 4.6 is bone stock. I don’t want to just be another coyote car, I want something different and that’s why I want to build the 3v and I’m guessing it’s the same reason for most other people who want to build theirs too.
They may have and just didn’t know it. Most people in a comment section are at best a master valve cover mechanic, anything underneath them they have no idea what’s going on.

Great narration……excellent videography……heavy engineering simplified…….and all in a compact informative video that is easy to watch without the wife bitchin’ at me for sitting glued to a you tube video for an hour. I’m happy to be a new subscriber and happier still that you are shutting up the Chevy guys with the magnificent development of the grocery getter 4.6. There are a lot of 4.6’s resting in wrecked vehicles in salvage yards……what you are proving is they do not deserve to be overlooked as an option for performance applications. Way to go. I’ll watch all your vids.
I learned way too much drinking my morning coffee this morning thanks to you. Also, your fog lights have been flawless on the front of my GT, and have now seen the roads between Nashville and New Hampshire. They’re now learning the backroads of rural NH after moving back up here two weeks ago.
Also, a good way to skirt by if you can with a transmission that can handle less is to use a very good clutch, such as a triple disc carbon fiber clutch, it will help your transmission life and even increase what it can handle
As always its worth waiting to see your next vid. Tons of facts. Im fixing to dyno my 3v for a nitrous build to go with all the routine mods. You hav just helped me to settle the question as to what my top hp goal should be on stock engine components. I'll rejoice with u whn u shut down the 3v haters once u hit 1000, but I hav to agree with them at the cost to get there seems futile. But, a $15,000 car with $20,000 power upgrades is still way cheaper than a $100,000 factory 700 hp option. Can't take the $ with u. I'm pulling for u. Go for it! Heck, I think some of us will even throw a bill your way to help.
Why does everyone have to hate builds they are not familar with.This guys knowledge is impressive and you can tell he's passionate for his build and he doesn't care what people say he loves that mustang and hes too busy doing more research to improve that baby.im actually a huge fan of the 4.6 not for its power but its availability 👍👍🤙
Dude you remind me of my deceased brother so much. You even talk like him. I have his 2000 sn95 Mustang. Because of these videos I'm finally going to build it up to honor him. I know that's what he would want. Great videos my friend. Subbed and liked!
Hey great research and content! Very informative , please make follow up when you can. I replaced my s197 with a fresher 74k 3v that I plan to do the same exact thing you are within the next 6 months. I stand behind the 3v all the way
Glad to wait 2 months instead of 3 for this video! It just keeps getting more interesting. People fail to realize from the beginning you bought this because you like the way it looks knowing the “superiority” of the 5.0.
I got a 3v 2007 mustang and I I have similar power goals to you. Thank you for showing the process for your mustang and everything that goes into it! I have yet to see a single other channel dive into it as you have.
I just built my 3v except ported heads installed cams, a Roush supercharger, 302 Stroker @9psi made 570rwhp I say you'll well be hitting your goal good luck!!
I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. The mixture of quality information and some sweet shots, graphs, dyno pulls, etc. is very easy to watch. Out of curiosity what editing software are you using? Im looking to step my editing game up and could use some good advice. Best of luck with your build. Im excited to see the direction you go with the transmission, flywheel, clutch, etc.
Thanks man, appreciate that. I use Photoshop and After Effects mainly, but it's hard to recommend AE as it's pretty tedious to use. I think of it like having a set of surgical instruments instead of a knife and fork.
I just picked up a 2020 gt pp1. It's a blast! I've never cared about cornering but since I have few miles under my belt with this car i find myself pushing this thing over my skill set. Mods planned: lowering springs, bmr cradle lockout, aftermarket exhaust and mgw shifter.
I bought a silver 3 v this summer and the information you have been providing as far as dyno run results and updates with parts has been invaluable. Also definitely recommend a cervini ram air hood, adds a whole new look to the car. Keep up the great work!
ive always liked the 3v mustangs. As a GM guy Id love to get a 05-09 GT to play with one day. Lots of attention to detail in both car and videos, nice work.
I love both the 3v and 2v 4.6L The 2V especially, got me through some tough times and never failed me once. My suggested an electric AC system especially if you want that power to maintain itself even with the AC on. I've seen some people in their rally rigs use a system of batteries to help along this process. But there could be easier ways just upgrading the alternator and seeing how well you can run a classic AC conversion kit on it. I know a lot of car guys hate AC for some reason. But someone who grew up in a very hot climate a car is a piece of s*** if it doesn't have AC. After a few months of living with a bypass I couldn't take the heat It was too much. The heat from the car, the pavement, other cars, the sun, it all turned into a roasting oven. I don't get why people shame others for wanting to keep or liking AC in their builds. I want to enjoy my car but I also want to be comfortable especially if you are doing something intensive like rallying, autocrossing, etc. Where the heat with your equipment can really build on you and make you suffer
I always loved how turbo cars can have that programmable waste gate to make more or less power. I wonder why we dont see it with other types of forced induction.
Been awhile since you’ve posted, love your car & build. Makes my close to stock Tightie Whitie so boring but its a driver. I want rear end gears & cams bad. But a new apartment & furniture took that out of the equation for this year. I think I’ve seen all of your videos but wondering if you’ve done axle gears & steering components? Keep up the good work & hope to see new stuff from you soon
Just had my 05' 3v built in a similar way as yours. I wish you made this video a year ago haha so I knew what to look for. Great video and great way of explaining everything! 👍
The 3 valves get a lot of hate, it’s nice to see someone who likes them, Mine was the most reliable car I’ve ever owned, I just passed it along to my brother yesterday
You should try and mount your turbos where the fog lights are in the grille. I know its difficult since the radiator sits in the way but still that would be glorious.
Voodoo Racing. Heard a lot of good things. And a friend of mine had a lot of work done. Seems to be happy with it. Same type of mustang as well. I believe he did a TR6060 swap with HCI. And an on3 single turbo kit. Also Frank is a very upfront guy. He will tell you pricing and everything to expect with the pro's and con's on what your doing.
Always love to see a new upload from Four Eyes. Doing all this R&D for us fellow 3v owners is dope, and the way he presents his content is top notch every single time. I feel like I read somewhere that he's an engineer or in marketing/accounting or something? Can't remember, but surely I can't be the only one curious about his professional occupation!
I was looking at fuel setups earlier tonight and was going to order the 1000hp On3 fuel setup tonight as well for my 3v. Sounds like a good choice for the money.
I think it's worth mentioning that forged parts can withstand higher power but generally have a shorter lifespan due to the way the material reacts to friction and before it has reached operating temperature. I'd recommend looking at hypereutectic or cast pistons that match or exceed your planned torque, RPM and combined power figure. I'm not a professional though and I'd say it's always advisable to do your own research.
Dude...your videos and content is so DOPE! The videography, the camera work, the lighting, the CONTENT and tech knowledge...just AMAZING for an average Joe doing this on your own. This is professional grade stuff bruh!!!
I really appreciate all the Information you’ve given in this video. You explained so much and clearly up a lot of questions I couldn’t figure out! Good luck on the build and I’m happy for you.
Man great video. Will be doing a rebuild on my coyote engine to be able to make more power when it's no longer my daily. Going to save this video for reference. Excellent info!
Congrats! Are you still planning on trying to get to 750Hp? I find that 750Hp is about the most I would want for the street, more power isn't easily usable without drag slicks.
There's a lot of good info here but I would like to polish a few points for you. You said you regret not going overbore for the displacement, but what you've actually done is left some safety on the table for yourself. Say for example if you have an internal issue and a cylinder gets scored, now you have the ability to go overbore later on, rather than trash the block or sleeve it. Also, adding a stroker kit is a great way to gain displacement, however remember that additional stroke changes your rod to stroke ratio. The rod to stroke ratio will affect piston speed, which will dictate your maximum RPM. The moral of the story is you need to determine exactly what your planning to do with your engine and build to purpose. Additional stroke can make a great torque monster, but some applications may need a torque peak at a higher RPM to make more power (say to take advantage of a larger turbo that spools at higher RPM) so in those cases additional stroke may not be a good idea. For example many subaru guys take a 2.5L and actually de-stroke it with a crankshaft from an Ej20 which yields a 2.3L engine. The end result is an engine with slower piston speeds and is able to safely rev to 9,000 RPM which allows them to have a meaty powerband with a big ass turbo. Point is, every build is different. Set clear goals for the purpose.
This is seriously cool! I've always wanted to do this, but the price tag to complete is the stuff of dreamland, for me. Even if I had the dough, I'm not a wrench-turner, so I'd have to pay through the nose for a shop to do it and hope they know what they're doing.
I made a mistake at 5:39 where I talk about increasing cylinder diameter with a honing tool. While technically possible, it's a terrible approach as it'll take forever and will likely result in uneven cylinder walls. The cylinders need to be professionally bored and checked against one of the pistons (that will be installed) to ensure proper fitment/clearances.

There are a lot of 4.6’s resting in wrecked vehicles in salvage yards……what you are proving is they do not deserve to be overlooked as an option for performance applications. Way to go. I’ll watch all your vids.
I learned way too much drinking my morning coffee this morning thanks to you.
Also, your fog lights have been flawless on the front of my GT, and have now seen the roads between Nashville and New Hampshire. They’re now learning the backroads of rural NH after moving back up here two weeks ago.
Glad to hear it and thanks for the order Michael ✌
Also, a good way to skirt by if you can with a transmission that can handle less is to use a very good clutch, such as a triple disc carbon fiber clutch, it will help your transmission life and even increase what it can handle
As always its worth waiting to see your next vid. Tons of facts. Im fixing to dyno my 3v for a nitrous build to go with all the routine mods. You hav just helped me to settle the question as to what my top hp goal should be on stock engine components. I'll rejoice with u whn u shut down the 3v haters once u hit 1000, but I hav to agree with them at the cost to get there seems futile. But, a $15,000 car with $20,000 power upgrades is still way cheaper than a $100,000 factory 700 hp option. Can't take the $ with u. I'm pulling for u. Go for it! Heck, I think some of us will even throw a bill your way to help.
Right. It's expensive, but also cheaper than just buying a 2020 GT500. Much more interesting too imo.
My father-in-law is a retired Senior Master Tech for Ford and when I don't feel like bugging him with idle curiosity about my 3V, I rewatch Four Eyes
Why does everyone have to hate builds they are not familar with.This guys knowledge is impressive and you can tell he's passionate for his build and he doesn't care what people say he loves that mustang and hes too busy doing more research to improve that baby.im actually a huge fan of the 4.6 not for its power but its availability 👍👍🤙
Someone on the internet that actually understands that there's no replacement for displacement? Dude is like a unicorn
always really happy to see the notification for your videos.. outstanding work per usual man keep it up :)
Thank you Joshua ✌
After your project is all finished you should be working with Brenspeed!
Theres something about engine building that put a smile on my face I cant wait to see it done
cool video. love how you go into the logic and analytics of your build unlike most other creators. interesting to watch as an engineering student.
Dude you remind me of my deceased brother so much. You even talk like him. I have his 2000 sn95 Mustang.
Because of these videos I'm finally going to build it up to honor him.
I know that's what he would want.
Great videos my friend. Subbed and liked!
I have a 2000 gt with full bolt ons and a vortec v2 making 520 HP. I love my 4.6
Hey great research and content! Very informative , please make follow up when you can. I replaced my s197 with a fresher 74k 3v that I plan to do the same exact thing you are within the next 6 months. I stand behind the 3v all the way
Glad to wait 2 months instead of 3 for this video! It just keeps getting more interesting. People fail to realize from the beginning you bought this because you like the way it looks knowing the “superiority” of the 5.0.
I got a 3v 2007 mustang and I I have similar power goals to you. Thank you for showing the process for your mustang and everything that goes into it! I have yet to see a single other channel dive into it as you have.
Thanks Benjamin ✌
Amazing content man, hands up! These videos will teach you more about Cars and their Mechanics than any degree or college.
I just built my 3v except ported heads installed cams, a Roush supercharger, 302 Stroker @9psi made 570rwhp I say you'll well be hitting your goal good luck!!
Nice dude, that's solid for sure.
I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. The mixture of quality information and some sweet shots, graphs, dyno pulls, etc. is very easy to watch. Out of curiosity what editing software are you using? Im looking to step my editing game up and could use some good advice. Best of luck with your build. Im excited to see the direction you go with the transmission, flywheel, clutch, etc.
Thanks man, appreciate that. I use Photoshop and After Effects mainly, but it's hard to recommend AE as it's pretty tedious to use. I think of it like having a set of surgical instruments instead of a knife and fork.
This is awesome! I’m building a Ford 400 motor in autos class and I just wanted to know more about doing engine rebuilds and how it all works.
I just picked up a 2020 gt pp1. It's a blast! I've never cared about cornering but since I have few miles under my belt with this car i find myself pushing this thing over my skill set. Mods planned: lowering springs, bmr cradle lockout, aftermarket exhaust and mgw shifter.
I bought a silver 3 v this summer and the information you have been providing as far as dyno run results and updates with parts has been invaluable. Also definitely recommend a cervini ram air hood, adds a whole new look to the car. Keep up the great work!
ive always liked the 3v mustangs. As a GM guy Id love to get a 05-09 GT to play with one day. Lots of attention to detail in both car and videos, nice work.
Appreciate it, thanks for watching
I dont even have a 3v and I still love watching these videos!
Awesome video, thanks for the info. can’t wait to start building my 3v mustang.
I love both the 3v and 2v 4.6L
The 2V especially, got me through some tough times and never failed me once.
My suggested an electric AC system especially if you want that power to maintain itself even with the AC on. I've seen some people in their rally rigs use a system of batteries to help along this process. But there could be easier ways just upgrading the alternator and seeing how well you can run a classic AC conversion kit on it. I know a lot of car guys hate AC for some reason. But someone who grew up in a very hot climate a car is a piece of s*** if it doesn't have AC. After a few months of living with a bypass I couldn't take the heat It was too much. The heat from the car, the pavement, other cars, the sun, it all turned into a roasting oven. I don't get why people shame others for wanting to keep or liking AC in their builds. I want to enjoy my car but I also want to be comfortable especially if you are doing something intensive like rallying, autocrossing, etc. Where the heat with your equipment can really build on you and make you suffer
this is my dream build for my 3v cant wait to see the this car completed
I always loved how turbo cars can have that programmable waste gate to make more or less power. I wonder why we dont see it with other types of forced induction.
Been awhile since you’ve posted, love your car & build. Makes my close to stock Tightie Whitie so boring but its a driver. I want rear end gears & cams bad. But a new apartment & furniture took that out of the equation for this year. I think I’ve seen all of your videos but wondering if you’ve done axle gears & steering components? Keep up the good work & hope to see new stuff from you soon
Bro, this 3V Mustang is siiiick! I'd love to see more on this mustang. Well done, you've just won yourself a subscriber. :)
Just had my 05' 3v built in a similar way as yours. I wish you made this video a year ago haha so I knew what to look for. Great video and great way of explaining everything! 👍
Thank you so much, I needed this information as I am starting to rebuild engines for my local race club.
I like the build. Buying parts that are designed and proven to work together, and all ready for bolt-in.
Four Eyes videos is UA-cam gold!
thanks mitchell ✌
The 3 valves get a lot of hate, it’s nice to see someone who likes them, Mine was the most reliable car I’ve ever owned, I just passed it along to my brother yesterday
Have a t56 built and swapped for a transmission. Solid gears, stiff shifting. Its a bolt up and you'd be more than happy with it
If I can't get the 5-speed rebuilt to handle the power, this is what I'll do.
Excellent video man. I like how your content actually aligns with the video title. Wish more were this honest and skilled at their craft.
Can't wait to see this thing in action. It's going to be badass. It's good to see a video for you. It's been a while.
You should try and mount your turbos where the fog lights are in the grille. I know its difficult since the radiator sits in the way but still that would be glorious.
Hope nothing but the best for you and this build! Thanks for making such good content, keep it up!
Voodoo Racing. Heard a lot of good things. And a friend of mine had a lot of work done. Seems to be happy with it. Same type of mustang as well. I believe he did a TR6060 swap with HCI. And an on3 single turbo kit. Also Frank is a very upfront guy. He will tell you pricing and everything to expect with the pro's and con's on what your doing.
Always love to see a new upload from Four Eyes. Doing all this R&D for us fellow 3v owners is dope, and the way he presents his content is top notch every single time. I feel like I read somewhere that he's an engineer or in marketing/accounting or something? Can't remember, but surely I can't be the only one curious about his professional occupation!
I was looking at fuel setups earlier tonight and was going to order the 1000hp On3 fuel setup tonight as well for my 3v. Sounds like a good choice for the money.
Looks good. I am doing a similar build this winter.
Been so excited for this video. In the time it took you to make this vid I got a paxton and new wheels lol
Super stoked to see the new video I am waiting till I am out of the army to build my engine I am glad to see that I am not the only weirdo
I think it's worth mentioning that forged parts can withstand higher power but generally have a shorter lifespan due to the way the material reacts to friction and before it has reached operating temperature. I'd recommend looking at hypereutectic or cast pistons that match or exceed your planned torque, RPM and combined power figure. I'm not a professional though and I'd say it's always advisable to do your own research.
Dude...your videos and content is so DOPE! The videography, the camera work, the lighting, the CONTENT and tech knowledge...just AMAZING for an average Joe doing this on your own. This is professional grade stuff bruh!!!
hey thanks man 🙏
I really appreciate all the Information you’ve given in this video. You explained so much and clearly up a lot of questions I couldn’t figure out! Good luck on the build and I’m happy for you.
Man great video. Will be doing a rebuild on my coyote engine to be able to make more power when it's no longer my daily. Going to save this video for reference. Excellent info!
Thanks Chris 💪
Actual goldmine of information. I learned so much.
Congrats! Are you still planning on trying to get to 750Hp? I find that 750Hp is about the most I would want for the street, more power isn't easily usable without drag slicks.
I love how you teach us as you learn. Very informative and interesting video. Can't wait to see the 3V turn into a beast! Excited for you man!
There's a lot of good info here but I would like to polish a few points for you. You said you regret not going overbore for the displacement, but what you've actually done is left some safety on the table for yourself. Say for example if you have an internal issue and a cylinder gets scored, now you have the ability to go overbore later on, rather than trash the block or sleeve it.
Also, adding a stroker kit is a great way to gain displacement, however remember that additional stroke changes your rod to stroke ratio. The rod to stroke ratio will affect piston speed, which will dictate your maximum RPM. The moral of the story is you need to determine exactly what your planning to do with your engine and build to purpose. Additional stroke can make a great torque monster, but some applications may need a torque peak at a higher RPM to make more power (say to take advantage of a larger turbo that spools at higher RPM) so in those cases additional stroke may not be a good idea. For example many subaru guys take a 2.5L and actually de-stroke it with a crankshaft from an Ej20 which yields a 2.3L engine. The end result is an engine with slower piston speeds and is able to safely rev to 9,000 RPM which allows them to have a meaty powerband with a big ass turbo. Point is, every build is different. Set clear goals for the purpose.
Wonderful points, thank you for taking the time to write this up and appreciate the info.
i like this. it’s like a 101 intro to engine builds videos
Love the hate comments in the start , keep doing your built brotha , love all the knowledge you give to us , and also highly recommend to go tr6060
Hands down best 3V channel out there!
Appreciate that 🙏
This is seriously cool! I've always wanted to do this, but the price tag to complete is the stuff of dreamland, for me.
Even if I had the dough, I'm not a wrench-turner, so I'd have to pay through the nose for a shop to do it and hope they know what they're doing.
People may give whatever praise to the 5.0 Coyote, but I'll always love the classic and bassy sound of the 3V, its irreplaceable.
