Back in the day exhaust and gears were the first thing I did. And the fact you're doing it with your family makes me jealous I don't have any good memories like that of my father.
I know how you feel man, stories of my father's cars and him racing is what got me wrenching back in the day, but he never would work on anything with me or watch me race. Sucks when all you want to do is hang out with your dad and work on stuff but he's too much of an asshole to bother.
You are headed in the right direction with the 4.10s and stall converter. The TFS1 cam really doesn’t start to come in strong until around 3000 RPM. With a stock AOD and 2.73s, this came sometimes be an issue if you find yourself below that in too high of a gear and can’t get it to downshift
I heard the "don't do what I do......" growing up. I prefer these videos. I hear enough "mood music" everywhere I go. It's really up to you. This is your "baby". Y'all have done a great job. It sounds mean. I have learned so much about my car just by watching you. Best wishes
I’m a fan of how to with no music especially on harder fix problems like rear gears , cam installs and etc... it helps a lot of people understand better... love the videos.. keep up the great work..
Also. What your doing for the foxbody community is amazing. I have a 60000 mile car that sat for years and because of you. It runs again. And I missed driving it so much.
Honestly I've been a fan for a short bit, but how you've been making your videos already is what attracted me. Me personally love your creativity. Keep' em coming....
Keep up the vids. It helps the guys like me get motivated to work on my car. The 4.10’s were one of the first mods done after h-pipe and mufflers. Made big difference right away. Then came a b&m transpak shift kit with thunderbird OD “A” mod which kept OD engaged at higher torque loads and high speed. This made my AOD spin 1st ,2nd and 3rd. Had loads of fun with that set up for a few years. Then came the swap to a Tremec. Some times I still miss the AOD.
I do that with my hci fox all the time, car really doesnt come alive until 3-4k and the aod wants to shift into 3rd at like 4800. Needs a manual valve body and converter but the 1-2-1 gets the job done for now😎
That's great except for the part where you shift at 6500. Unless it has heads, cam, intake, etc it's pointless. With the factory ECU it's not going past 6250 either unless it's has a carb, has an rpm extender for the EFI or aftermarket ECU. You could also waste money on a manual valve body with brake and not have to worry about dropping it back down to low. I say waste because this trans is garbage.
Wow Brew2l, I can see the difference from when you first drove it without the heads and cam to installing the sve, and trickflow cam. It sounds like it pulls way harder then before. Happy for you bro. Thanks for the video, and I'm always a thumbs up guy on your vid. God bless you.
Gears on these cars make a HUGE difference, especially with a d.o.a I mean a.o.d, not surprised by the foxes wake up with 4.10's. love what y'all are doing, love the car. Absolutely a 👍👍👍
Great content as always.👍 Progress is progress. The music doesn’t bother me either way. Can’t believe how far this car has come. You guys help keep us motivated on our own projects! Keep the content coming brother!
I love your vids, you actually do work instead of a whole lot of yapping..... When I hear “WELCOME BACK TO THEEE CHANNEL GUYS!!!” I get out of the video....... Keep up the awesome work👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’m definitely a fan of this type of video, the dialogue is great! Thank you for all these videos. You have gotten me motivated to get to work on my 88 gt that’s been sitting in the garage for the last 14 years. It’s going to be a long road, but I’m all in!
I've been following the whole build on the cobra clone. Loving your style of videos. How they are realistic good quality budget build. Like the music for reveals and time lapses. The content withyou and Andrew working on stuff & talking $hit to each other, reminds me of knocking out projects with my buddy's. Keep them videos coming. Good job man.
It all just brings back all kinds of memories of working on cars with my DAD pulling all nighters many times loved it miss it he hates working on cars now. Ball busting was the best
I love this you guys joking around and Bullshit with little music. Like everyone else in the garage working not so professional please keep this kind of videos coming inspiring me to get my car done
AOD. Gotta do the 1,2,1 shift. Run it up to redline in first shift to second and as soon as it shifts put it back in first. It’ll hold second and not shift to third. Then when your ready for third shift it into drive.
You have brought the car a long way. It looks nice. I like the videos without the music so I can hear you and Andrew go back and forth with each other. Keep up the good work.
Just want to let you know love the channel and motivated me to have the paint and body done on my 89gt after 17years and won best fox body at the recent good guys show
one thing I have learned about gears, If you go to say the junk yard and get a set of gears from another car like say a town car and you keep the shims all in order and reinstall them in your carrier the exact same way they came out of the other housing they will about 90% of the time be within factory specs due to the factory tolerances just use a new crush sleeve on the pinion. Setting the backlash and preload becomes much more important when using brand new aftermarket gears because of the different tolerances
Like others had said, I like the real world given each other hell type videos. That’s what it’s all about, having fun in the garage. Time lapses are good with the music tho. Good video!
I just swapped out my cat converters for the bbk h-pipe, on my back in my drive way, man it seemed so much easier when i was young, i don't fit under there like i used to, lol tell Andrew Lefty Loosey righty tighty and don't forget the upside down Factor lol 🇺🇸🔧💯🚘🇺🇸👍👍👍 thank you for your service
Keepin it real thats why we like you brew2l! Less is more! Dang it Andrew get to work! Lol! Btw new catless xpipe and flowmaster catback with 3in tail pipes and a Anderson power pipe cold air intake be the truuuff!
I got an 87 t-bird that I swapped my 5.0 and AOD that came out of my mustang into....had a 3.73 in the mustang and I figured it needed at least a 4.10 so that is what I put in the t-bird.... that’s the perfect gear for that setup with a good converter. Pulls so good! And with overdrive it ain’t so bad on the highway either
That laugh after you told Andrew that it's about the same help sounds like mutt lee from the cartoon Penelope pit stop and the anvil mob...cartoon network thro back funny shyt...
Ya know it’s the moment’s you get to spend with your family and friends working on cars and connecting on a level to get a machine running better and faster it’s the team work that counts a lot and makes to me being a backyard Mechanic fun I do it for a hobby not for a living i love it
I will watch whatever content you do. Your a motivator. I pulled my t5 out today to put a clutch in and going to attempt to put a new input shaft bearing in the trans without tearing it down. There is videos on how to do it and if you can do the gears like you did I think I can get this trans back together. Then I have a complete 3/55 rear end to put under it. Keep it up. How ever you do it works for me.
Fyi you can put it in 1st and lay in it and shift to 2nd and pull it back to first and it will hold 2nd gear longer and then you can hit drive then overdrive... Little trick I was taught back in my AOD foxbody days... I use to walk some of the 5 speed cars using this technique
I don’t know if you’ve looked into it but I put a silver fox valve body in my mark seven a few weeks ago and it made it a whole new transmission. Would highly recommend
It also will let it shift at 5800 with an adjustment on a screw, you just drop the pan. First and second gear shift at the same RPM. Downshifts to first and second from higher speeds too. Takes about an hour to install by myself. I wouldn’t even waste my time on a shift kit after this!
Your music choice is good, but I prefer the talking/joking and explaining of what your doing. Wrenching/impact noise and screams/agony of smashed fingers and busted knuckles is just good reality. Keep the music in the time lapse. Great videos, keep it up.
My AOD has a mind of its own some days it chirps the tires in second other days it’s a slug. Hope yours is more consistent. I’m running 4.10’S with a street/strip valve body.
Keep up the good work you turned out a awesome car in a short amount of time,thank you for all the information and laughs always looking forward to seeing the next video.
We had this saying in the Army, k.i.s.s....keep it simple stupid, which is the videos I like. Just don't be s.o.s......stuck on stupid. Added 4.10 to my cobra and my son's aod, just finished brakes and shift kit on his lx.
This video is my preference. However if you are walking around shows or lots of racing, I prefer videos that have a little background music. Keep up the great work! 😎
Thats the way I was taught how to change rear gears; but I was told the same thing that you said, this is not the correct way but it works. I have a 01 Gt I took the factory gears out which was 3.32 and went 3.73 , I have a set of 4.10s that I have been sitting on for about a year or so thinking about pulling the trigger on them but im slow doing it by myself. Im surprised that you did not give a day or so of break in time but hey great video.
This style video much better. Talk and show what you are doing. As far as the stang... I have a 90 GT with AOD and did a H/C/I swap as well. I went with 3.73 gears. I did a Lentech valve body to otherwise stock AOD. It is a Street Terminator 2L. Nice snappy shifts and shift pattern is altered if you want to manually upshift. P-R-N-OD/D-2-1 rather than P-R-N-OD-D-1. Much nicer. I still have stock converter and see no reason to change (unless I need to hold and launch at 2500 rpm or higher). My recommendation, get the valve body and hold off on converter. Unless you are drag racing and need to launch at higher rpm I believe its not needed for daily driver or cruiser. Car looks great. Enjoy it.
I appreciate the work that goes into the video editing, and don’t mind the music. With that said it surely isn’t necessary. I consume all the tech tips and pointers I can get. Is there such a thing as too much foxbody content?
Heads and cam alone should’ve made a significant difference even with the stock gear. You should throw a windband on it to see what it looks like, it should need a tune
I’m a fan of the less music in the videos
I like these type of videos. Less music and more "real talk" lol aka giving each other hell lol. Good video and congrats on the gear swap!
Honestly... I like these videos better myself. Thanks brother
I agree. This is a better style video.
Back in the day exhaust and gears were the first thing I did. And the fact you're doing it with your family makes me jealous I don't have any good memories like that of my father.
We make new memories everyday brother.. always remember that 👌
I know how you feel man, stories of my father's cars and him racing is what got me wrenching back in the day, but he never would work on anything with me or watch me race. Sucks when all you want to do is hang out with your dad and work on stuff but he's too much of an asshole to bother.
I definitely like the videos more when you guys are talking and joking around. Music is great for timelaps? 👍🤓 Thanks again love your videos
I agree on the actual time lapse part.. kinda need that.
instablaster...
You are headed in the right direction with the 4.10s and stall converter. The TFS1 cam really doesn’t start to come in strong until around 3000 RPM. With a stock AOD and 2.73s, this came sometimes be an issue if you find yourself below that in too high of a gear and can’t get it to downshift
Yes sir, putting a mans gear in that beast! Love it!
I like this style of video when you two are talking and clowning around without all the background music. Thank you for sharing.
I heard the "don't do what I do......" growing up. I prefer these videos. I hear enough "mood music" everywhere I go. It's really up to you. This is your "baby". Y'all have done a great job. It sounds mean. I have learned so much about my car just by watching you. Best wishes

Keep' em coming....
Keep up the vids. It helps the guys like me get motivated to work on my car. The 4.10’s were one of the first mods done after h-pipe and mufflers. Made big difference right away. Then came a b&m transpak shift kit with thunderbird OD “A” mod which kept OD engaged at higher torque loads and high speed. This made my AOD spin 1st ,2nd and 3rd. Had loads of fun with that set up for a few years. Then came the swap to a Tremec. Some times I still miss the AOD.
What a big difference in the last two videos. I can see the excitement is back. The cam talk and just getting to play in it some makes it fun again.
When you shift into 2nd pull the shifter back down in low so you can hold 2nd up to 6500 like you do in low
The AOD shuffle ☝️👌
I do that with my hci fox all the time, car really doesnt come alive until 3-4k and the aod wants to shift into 3rd at like 4800. Needs a manual valve body and converter but the 1-2-1 gets the job done for now😎
Trued on mine don't work need to change springs in valve body first
Keep it in neutral hold the pedal to the floor and then shift into drive
Hopefully it blows that pos up and you can replace it with something better 🦊
That's great except for the part where you shift at 6500. Unless it has heads, cam, intake, etc it's pointless. With the factory ECU it's not going past 6250 either unless it's has a carb, has an rpm extender for the EFI or aftermarket ECU.
You could also waste money on a manual valve body with brake and not have to worry about dropping it back down to low. I say waste because this trans is garbage.
Wow Brew2l, I can see the difference from when you first drove it without the heads and cam to installing the sve, and trickflow cam. It sounds like it pulls way harder then before. Happy for you bro. Thanks for the video, and I'm always a thumbs up guy on your vid. God bless you.
Gears on these cars make a HUGE difference, especially with a d.o.a I mean a.o.d, not surprised by the foxes wake up with 4.10's. love what y'all are doing, love the car. Absolutely a 👍👍👍
I like a little music 🎶 because I like your choices of musical personalities
I like the friendly banter and talking, less music except during time lapse
Great content as always.👍 Progress is progress. The music doesn’t bother me either way. Can’t believe how far this car has come. You guys help keep us motivated on our own projects! Keep the content coming brother!
I appreciate you taking the time to comment👍 The feedback definitely helps 💯
My 85’ was a AOD. When I put a little shift kit in it....man what a difference!!
Looks like your gettin there bro. Love the chugalug cam sounds🤘🤘
I love your vids, you actually do work instead of a whole lot of yapping.....
When I hear “WELCOME BACK TO THEEE CHANNEL GUYS!!!” I get out of the video.......
Keep up the awesome work👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’m definitely a fan of this type of video, the dialogue is great!
Thank you for all these videos. You have gotten me motivated to get to work on my 88 gt that’s been sitting in the garage for the last 14 years. It’s going to be a long road, but I’m all in!

The content withyou and Andrew working on stuff & talking $hit to each other, reminds me of knocking out projects with my buddy's. Keep them videos coming. Good job man.
I love how you and your son get to do these projects together and he definitely reminds me of joe dirt for sure
It all just brings back all kinds of memories of working on cars with my DAD pulling all nighters many times loved it miss it he hates working on cars now. Ball busting was the best
I like without music and the joking around you and Andrew do.
I love this you guys joking around and Bullshit with little music. Like everyone else in the garage working not so professional please keep this kind of videos coming inspiring me to get my car done
AOD. Gotta do the 1,2,1 shift. Run it up to redline in first shift to second and as soon as it shifts put it back in first. It’ll hold second and not shift to third. Then when your ready for third shift it into drive.
I like both styles of vids makes a nice mix
Save the music for the badass reveal and walk arounds, you got these videos on point anyways. Great content.
I like both. A good blend is nice. Honestly some funny things happen that music can cover up and these make them well funnier. Keep it up!
I ain’t even driving a Mustang anymore I still love these videos
I like when Andrew's helps with the car more. 😎👍.......about time .
I actually have to edit that part in... he never does anything in reality 😂
You have brought the car a long way. It looks nice. I like the videos without the music so I can hear you and Andrew go back and forth with each other. Keep up the good work.
I'm more partial to this type of format but do your thing man, I'm gonna watch regardless.
Just want to let you know love the channel and motivated me to have the paint and body done on my 89gt after 17years and won best fox body at the recent good guys show
I can go for either way with the videos..but hearing yalls banter and stuff makes it better imo. Makes me laugh.. and is entertaining.
The phone call at 11:02..."We've been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty"
Yes these type.
Realistic, simple.
You make hood content regardless.
Thank you.
I like the quiet style down to the point but i also enjoy the editing as well , I’m a simple man , if there foxbodys involved ima watch
Honestly I prefer no music, especially when Andrew is there. The banter reminds me of me and my buddies working on stuff and talking junk 😂
Bro this is sweet!! Sounds super healthy and the gears completely wakes it up!! Great job!
one thing I have learned about gears, If you go to say the junk yard and get a set of gears from another car like say a town car and you keep the shims all in order and reinstall them in your carrier the exact same way they came out of the other housing they will about 90% of the time be within factory specs due to the factory tolerances just use a new crush sleeve on the pinion. Setting the backlash and preload becomes much more important when using brand new aftermarket gears because of the different tolerances
With music is good or without music is good lol..it doesn’t matter🤷🏾♂️ you explain your content so well that I enjoy watching your videos regardless!
No music... Just laugh whith frends is cool...feels like home base...👍
Like others had said, I like the real world given each other hell type videos. That’s what it’s all about, having fun in the garage. Time lapses are good with the music tho. Good video!

Pulls so good! And with overdrive it ain’t so bad on the highway either
I like this style. But to be honest. Whatever is easier for you I like them all and thanks for make them.
Man, keep those 93 cobra wheels on the car for street rims. Looks killer! From a 93 real cobra owner myself. Calypso green looks awesome!
Must be nice to still be driving the car around, here in Pittsburgh we had our first snow fall and salt is everywhere....
I prefer these!! Just like the how to or some wut how to do it vids..... but your music is always on point !!!!
I like these style videos better. Also the banter between you and Andrew is good. Y’all have good humor. Less music is better.
Appreciate the feedback 👌 Andrew is a trip for sure 😂
That laugh after you told Andrew that it's about the same help sounds like mutt lee from the cartoon Penelope pit stop and the anvil mob...cartoon network thro back funny shyt...

That Milwaukee 12 impact is awesome

You never want to be full throttle in OD it will burn up the overdrive band.
I like both depending on length of video, topic. Nothing wrong with putting the extra in when u got time.
You do fantastic work man. This is just too cool this car has come a long way and it's great work. Keep up the great work.
3000 stall and a silverfox stage 2 valve body...change the speedo gear too...also get a trans cooler
Music when you fast forward (time lapse) for sure. This video style was good for me brotha.
I like your content no matter what you do bro! Just do you my man. The car has and is coming along every upload, 💯
🤟Thank you
Fan of both I don’t care , keep the videos coming I’m building my first AOD fox ive always had 5 speeds and these videos are helping out man
I’m enjoying this one so far.
Ugh I cant wait for spring to get here in MN so I get get my fox out of storage! Your vids help me cope with winter lol
No break in period. 4:10 gear set, get out on the highway, stomp on it, Priceless. :)
430s and a transgo going my AOD fox.. with some 40 series flow master that's it for the vert,, great vids...
I don’t know if you’ve looked into it but I put a silver fox valve body in my mark seven a few weeks ago and it made it a whole new transmission. Would highly recommend
It also will let it shift at 5800 with an adjustment on a screw, you just drop the pan. First and second gear shift at the same RPM. Downshifts to first and second from higher speeds too. Takes about an hour to install by myself. I wouldn’t even waste my time on a shift kit after this!

☝️😂 👌
I like a good mix of everything. Im sure some like more music and some like more straight up install content. I also like your time lapses
Love ur vids bud still waiting for a nice smokey burnout i ditched my aod going with a c4 i think full manaul valve body
I like this type of video. Enjoy the videos with music in the background but I like this type of video a bit more
I’m doing a 1990 Foxbody build and I’m loving it, and the videos man!!!
If I remember correctly you have to drop it back into first to lock it in 2nd gear or it will jump into 3rd to soon.
Good info for the guys in their garage not a shop type deal.
My AOD has a mind of its own some days it chirps the tires in second other days it’s a slug. Hope yours is more consistent. I’m running 4.10’S with a street/strip valve body.
Keep up the good work you turned out a awesome car in a short amount of time,thank you for all the information and laughs always looking forward to seeing the next video.
Love the vids w the music. Especially love the classic outro here
We had this saying in the Army, k.i.s.s....keep it simple stupid, which is the videos I like. Just don't be s.o.s......stuck on stupid. Added 4.10 to my cobra and my son's aod, just finished brakes and shift kit on his lx.
I've always thought you do a good job explaining things along with a little music 👍!
Thanks brother.. I’ll always mix it up from time to time.
I love a good laugh when watching . Andy is my bestfriend lol
You and Andrew trip me out.. 😂👌
This video is my preference. However if you are walking around shows or lots of racing, I prefer videos that have a little background music. Keep up the great work! 😎
And I like the music along with the time lapse. Everything else was cool.
No music! I like all of your videos man but the less music the better in my opinion. Great video!
Remind me and my father love your video keep up the good work less music more talking 👍
Yes this style of video is easier to follow as well - keep up the great work
Thats the way I was taught how to change rear gears; but I was told the same thing that you said, this is not the correct way but it works. I have a 01 Gt I took the factory gears out which was 3.32 and went 3.73 , I have a set of 4.10s that I have been sitting on for about a year or so thinking about pulling the trigger on them but im slow doing it by myself. Im surprised that you did not give a day or so of break in time but hey great video.
I prefer this type of video because I makes it seem more realistic in a way, normalized
Great job on the engine compartment! Looks outstanding my friend!
This style video much better. Talk and show what you are doing.
As far as the stang... I have a 90 GT with AOD and did a H/C/I swap as well. I went with 3.73 gears. I did a Lentech valve body to otherwise stock AOD. It is a Street Terminator 2L. Nice snappy shifts and shift pattern is altered if you want to manually upshift. P-R-N-OD/D-2-1 rather than P-R-N-OD-D-1. Much nicer. I still have stock converter and see no reason to change (unless I need to hold and launch at 2500 rpm or higher). My recommendation, get the valve body and hold off on converter. Unless you are drag racing and need to launch at higher rpm I believe its not needed for daily driver or cruiser.
Car looks great. Enjoy it.
I appreciate the work that goes into the video editing, and don’t mind the music. With that said it surely isn’t necessary. I consume all the tech tips and pointers I can get. Is there such a thing as too much foxbody content?
Y’all have did a great job guys.
Much more entertaining with the joking around than with the music.
Man y'all Are brave lol, I refuse to take apart a rear end without gloves on 🤣
That car has come a long way great job on the build. She sounds nasty.👍🇺🇸
Thanks brother! Appreciate you watching 🙏
BREW2L of course brother I’ve got your back you can always count on my view.👍
She sounds great partially cause you donated those headers! 😊
GearHead704 I’m just stoked that he put a piece of the demon on the people’s fox and she does sound good so does yours my friend.👍
@@DEMONFOX5.0 agree That's so cool!
I like these type of video's. Thanks for the great content dude.
Heads and cam alone should’ve made a significant difference even with the stock gear. You should throw a windband on it to see what it looks like, it should need a tune
Like getting the info, the problems you had and how you over came them. Like on the gears what wasn't right?
I think this is an awesome episode. Had me cracking up hard. Like we're hanging out. My car needs pinion bearing. So anyways.
