I love seeing how far the channel has come over the years. The number of parters you have with this build alone goes to show that you are doing things right.
From what you have said and the parts you have shown, this is going to be one spicy little 302! I am so excited to hear this thing run and to see how quick your F100 becomes!
It will be a 307 due to the .040" over bore. My 351 windsor's stroke is .50" and .040" over bore for 408 cubic inches and brings a ton of torque and wild H.P. to my poor rear tires on my '68 Mustang GT.
I was confused back when i did my first motor and was so.. And still am all about the tune.. People would say to me, Sounds Good..! Me thinking they meant the Tune. They would then follow up with what kind of Exaust do you have..? Took me awhile to learn that some people are about the SOUND and Thats about it. I had no thought in mind for what it would SOUND like when researching the build.. I was all about the best combo. not commenting on your build just rambling,, Really like your vids. Carburetors are your best friend..! Learn to tune them.. !!
nothing wrong with being above the deck by about 5 thou, your quench will be so much tighter so less chance of detonation,love the channel and sbf are my favourite engine as well
@@luther250F He is using forged piston so much less expansion and heat transfer of the piston also using a forged rod which will eliminate stretch, he could easily go 5 thou above deck and use a 30thou to 40 thou cometic gasket, flame travel will be much more efficiant which leads to better combustion less deposits, more hp and longer life,just my 2 cents, im an aussie and we love pushing our motors to the limit without hurting them, my 302 68 windsor 40 over has stock crank .5.4 rods custom acl pistons,ported 302 iron heads with chevy valves heavily ported with 56 cc chambers, piston sittin up 5 thou above deck with a sce 30 thou head gasket.custom Acl flat top forged pistons a aussie crow solid flat tappet cam 540 lift 235 duration @ 50 on 108 lobe sep 11.1 comp and it screams to 7k no problems
This setup is going to be so sick. I'm a newer subscriber, but going back and watching how far this truck has come is amazing. I started for the Fox (I have an SN95 with the 5.0), but this is becoming my new favorite.
How about do some body work on the crew cab ? And those rims “ sick “ is you word but I would trash them ! And how do you get out of speeding tickets ?
So are those like the bfg km2s. Cevlar reinforced ?? Those were good tires, but I like the triple tread style and 6ply soft compound of boggers, the side lugs bite hard I'm in super soft mudd all the time. PNW!!!!
I can’t wait to see and hear this back together. That cam. With the exhaust setup that you had is going to be beyond wicked!! I’m sure I’ll see after this video, but hopefully you’re not changing the exhaust setup.
How many engines have you built and you finally realized the main bearing tangs are different. No wonder they blow up. Smart idea but use the rev limiter cuz the one in your head is not working.
I can't wait to see this build. A high RPM windsor is going to be so bad ass! Makes me miss my old Windsor's. That being said, after all the issue's you've had, all the work, the cost of all the machining, man hours, etc. I don't think I'd do this build myself. my opinion. A coyote swap would probably be about the same cost, all said and done, and make similar power. I hope I'm wrong, and this Winsor makes almost 600hp. A very sick build, and a much better "cool" factor then a coyote swap for sure though.
I definitely appreciate all the work your putting into this truck honestly it's reignited the fire I've had for these old trucks, I do have a question for you though 68 f100 351w 4 speed short step bed 5500 good buy??
He didn't do anything to the Lightning that can't be undone. Vehicles are expression of the owners taste wether anyone else agrees or not. I've owned quite a few classic muscle cars and not many of them remained stock. However I didn't cut up the bodies or chassis or floors or threw away any interior pieces. I built a 428cj with domed TRW pistons, high lift/long duration solid camshaft, Mallory ignition. Ran on aviation gas and drove it to work fairly often and very reliable. A long duration camshaft will not produce as much vacuum for a booster for power brakes. Hydro boost solves that problem.
Love this build, currently planning this same build if not similar with a forged crank plus a few other goodies, one thing I can’t seem to find anywhere (this is my first build), what rod and main bearings do I use? Which ones do you use? Need a 2.123 rod journal and 2.249 main journal, help! Thank you!!
Truck is going to be sick! Honestly I think that red would look pretty good on it, I may have missed it but it’s not possible to run an adapter for those wheels you already have?
i let the machine shop put mine together while they had the block.only costed a couple extra hundred for the piece of mind it was worth it,no problems in over 5 years!
@@randallmason9687 if your going to use top shelf parts why not let a professional put it together.i know doing it yourself is good content for your channel,but screw that,i want my engine done buy the best builder-machine shop i know of!
@@LoneWrencher True...put the ego aside if you got a bunch wrapped up in it esp on a high rpm build. There are certain tricks the machinst will know most dont to making a high rpm engine live. Paid mine to assemble mine due to that...was only a few hundred and spent plenty on the best balancing job I could get...did the clutch, fw too. With a cam of 82 deg overlap it is still as a corpse at any rpm. Love it
new to the channel, mostly a buick family, but i do have one 87 fox, 37k stock... love the channel....great work.... def gonna get a shirt for my 16yr old daughter... shes a huge car chick! Tennessee here. you coming to ford fest here at bowling green?
Just out of curiosity did you use a conversion kit for the roller lifters with your cam? I'm building a 85 block 302 and I was wanting to use the f303 cam like you have in the fox but I wasn't sure if it would work with the conversion kit
Can't wait to hear this thing run. I might be taking a few notes, definitely want something with a high-revving SBF with that NASCAR scream for my next build, just gotta decide what car to put it in. (Mustang would be the obvious choice but it's kinda boring, but it's gotta be something that'll be fun at a trackday or canyon.) Those trophy truck wheels are sick btw, I'd be seriously tempted if they fit my last-gen Ranger. I'd have to powdercoat them though, wouldn't look good on my Race Red truck.
Got yourself a big boy hair cut! No disrespect! Anxious to hear that 7000+ RPM small block, Ford brother. I’ve always kind of wanted to do a short stroke big bore small block Ford. Not really for the horsepower just for the stupid fast revs and crazy high RPM. I like what you’re doing, I like the fact you’re bringing Ford to the four front regarding performance I was born a Ford guy I’ll die ford guy. Maybe it’s just UA-cam and more exposure but it seems that Ford is becoming more and more popular with the hot riders
Might be a dumb question but looks like it’s running a lot of electric stuff, is there gonna be a secondary battery or a battery tender hooked up to it when it’s off? I don’t know much about batteries but I would be worried about it draining the battery when the water pump and fan are running while the engine is off.
You can do all that stuff now Craig a wife an kids will put the breaks on a lot of fun things.😂 I’m just now getting back like I was when I was your age ! Now I got to much stuff going on now an can’t get anything finished 😂
Guy said..my kids love it...nobody else matters at that point. I do thread in front plugs and drill an .018-.025 hole to pressure feed the timing chain too
Were you still planning on frame swapping the F100 to that other frame you did the crown vic front end and all that other work on? She's a sweet build regardless of course!
Surprised you never build 9.5 decks, so much more ci, 393,408,418,427,434 roller 351w block makes so much more sense than 306,331,347. Once you add legit heads like TFS 11Rs, single plane, 950 carb, 600+hp is cake.
Ive hen building and drag racing sbf engines since 1996 and i have seen head gaskets on a 5.0 blow way more than ive seen em blow on a 351w … recently had thought hmmm the 5.0 and the 351w both share the same head gasket and aftermarket head and the 5.0 heads torque down to 70ft pounds and the 351w heads torque down to 112ft pounds i figured since im using arp head studs id torque my next 5.0 heads to 351w head torque specs and i did .. it works fine while its still on the lift .. once i take it for a test drive and later when i turn the 250 hp nitrous kit i may have a different outcome but i highly doubt it .. the only thing that can happen is it pulls the threads out of the block and i just dont see that happening !!!

That's some technical stuff you're talking there. Great content thanks I look forward to the rest of the build
encouraging me to build my 70 SWB very similar to your 71. I am still looking for a Style Side bed (fleet) for mine. BFH
This setup is going to be so sick. I'm a newer subscriber, but going back and watching how far this truck has come is amazing. I started for the Fox (I have an SN95 with the 5.0), but this is becoming my new favorite.
Seeing all those high quality name brand parts beats any Christmas unwrapping I"ve ever had by a mile!
Looks like a slick build. Stoked to see her rip ‘n roar again. 🤙
Can’t wait on the crew cab lift! Looking forward so I can lift my f100 on 37s!
I like the Miller Lightning. That is how I would have built it.
Getting inspired to get my second block and start building my boost ready bottom end.
Good stuff
So you are a stock 302 stroke with a 40 over piston.
You sure have some nice parts that are going into the block & on it.
How about do some body work on the crew cab ? And those rims “ sick “ is you word but I would trash them ! And how do you get out of speeding tickets ?
Lightning 4+4 is 🔥 Really Cool. 🤟😎
Looking good Anderson cams are awesome
If this engine develops problems I would seriously buy a Dart block And their 9500 series crank or steel.
All those parts in a stock 2 bolt sbf block ar 7000 ?
love it! can't wait to hear this thing run!

For rags during the rebuild process, use commercial coffee filters. Economical lint free rags. Learned that from a MAK Diesel SME.
What compression ratio did you end up with?

Hi Craig. You should build a 351 Windsor.
He didn't do anything to the Lightning that can't be undone. Vehicles are expression of the owners taste wether anyone else agrees or not.

I built a 428cj with domed TRW pistons, high lift/long duration solid camshaft, Mallory ignition. Ran on aviation gas and drove it to work fairly often and very reliable. A long duration camshaft will not produce as much vacuum for a booster for power brakes. Hydro boost solves that problem.
