Great video! Gosh Luis that sucks Bro!! Catastrophic engine failure is no joke I am sorry!😢 Good detective work!!💯 You are a wonderful friend for keeping his name clear of that build because it was definitely not done right!!👊🏾 I am looking forward to seeing the tear down of this engine! 🤔😎
Thank for your support James! I had an idea that whatever happened to the engine was gonna be bad! I just wasn’t expecting to have chucks of material scattered inside the manifold! There’s a first time for everything, and that’s the first time Ive seen that 😂! Im looking for a 302 to swap in its place for the meantime
Wow! That sucks to find all that metal in the throttle body. Next a donor block. You have a great COBRA intake manifold to use on it. I kind of like investigating what other people have done to a car. Everything that doesn’t look right, stands out. That tells you the history. Looking forward to seeing what’s next 👊😎✌️
Sucks about the car bro hopefully you can find a replacement quickly. I like how you picked up on all the little details at the end that show this car was destined to have issues.
Yes sir! Im actually already working on putting together a replacement engine I got for decent price! Definitely the car was rigged together with no real love 😂, Im gonna show it what love is for the first time! Lol
Sorry about the engine Luis, I think it's time to find an explorer 5.0.. I know that when you put it together it will be right.. can't wait to see what's wrong inside
I appreciate that, yes Im trying to get my hands on a good block, if I can find an explorer that will be ideal, but for some reason the good deals seem to have dried up around my area! 😢
Yes sir, the crank did move a tiny amount, but it would get jammed in both directions. I wi find out soon enough what the issue is when I take it apart
Awesome video brother! Sorry to see that there is something seriously wrong with the Fox! I did notice when you were trying to turn the crank that the rotor button on the distributor didn’t try to move but not sure if maybe the timing chain has a lot of slop.
Thanks for watching brother! I did feel the crank move the tinniest amount, but afterwards it would hit something and completely stop! Im thinking possibly a valve dropped down there or something similar to cause all the shards of metal in the intake 😬
Im gonna tear it apart as soon as I replace this one with that other 302 I picked up from Facebook Marketplace a couple days ago. Im sure the car ran without oil 💥💨
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 Yeah, it's a bit expensive but the reward is huge.. CNCMotorsports sells a shortblock for $5-6k 2k hp rated in any compression you want n you put the heads, cam n intake you want.. I'd like to do that but first I want a 70s car to put it in, 2dr or 4dr.. Maybe one day..lol
I was hoping to use the 351 on my 4 cylinder notchback, but when I opened it up it turned out that it will need machining too! Right now I have broken cars and no easy solutions 😬
@@89G that would be a great option but the price gauging seems to have caught on the the 302s as well, I can’t find a decent 302 for less than $1200 🤦♂️
Im not a Mechanic, I use common sense, but maybe you could explain to me how doing any of what you’re suggesting will unlock the engine… Please reply 😂
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 it could be hydro locked, you have seen that by removing the plugs. Rest of the steps is to help narrow down the issue. Anyway. Maybe I was over critical. Enjoy your day.
@@josebriceno97 I can tell you it’s not hydro locked, matter of fact, you can see in the video that theres chunks of metal scattered throughout the upper intake. What happened to this car is typical of what happens when you run an engine dry, with no oil. Im curious to see exactly what disintegrated too, but I didn’t see a point to keep disassembling it that day, my feelings were hurt cause I thought I needed just a head gasket lol… Im gonna take it apart but outside the car, Im already working on a second block to get it running. Hopefully you see that video. Take care brother!

@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 time to take a road trip to to see ford blue gage 🤣 he will hook you up. I hope you find something or are able to salvage the 351
@@91MustangLX that would be awesome, but it would be the longest road trip Ive ever gone in 😂…
Great video, sorry about the engine but it did budge make sure the starter isn't hung up in it, i sure love a T-Top!

@@MrBlitzkrieg1987yea your probably right on that. The metal in the TB is definitely a TKO
Watched back wards, I see you already have a 351 for it. Would still be interested in seeing what that Carnage is

Just put a 351W in there or a 460ci BBF.. My 4.6L 2v made 175rwhp with 2.5 qrts of oil, ran like a champ..lol
I have a 351w sitting in the backyard! Don’t tempt me 😂!
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 I love the 351W, lil v8 in today's world but capable of huge power.. 🔋💪
1:22 So he's gonna let you fuck around n find out, i see..lol
He did the f*cking around 😂, sadly I found out 😬👍
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 My comment to this message seems to have gotten raptured.. I suggested a 632ci BBF.. I think God loves that idea..lol 😇😁

@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 oh my gosh... we can a guy in our local Fox Body group is selling a complete HO 302 for 500 right now, ready to go.
There was deals like that here too, but they’re gone, even explorer engines used to be that price.
Sigh. Drain the oil, check the plugs. See what at the bottom of the oil pan, cut open the oil filter. I’m not impressed with this guys as a mechanic.
