You took what almost everyone would say was two piles of junk, and made an awesome car. F n A Cotton, F n A.
just ordered! thank you!
Not a ford fan but this was bad ass build @LeeC
Hey lee, do you happen to have a ls3 I could buy off a you for cheap I have a 95 Silverado my second project and I need an engine for it and what's better than a 5.7 a ls3 Soo lmk
Gladly welcome you to the mustang club, these cars are just fun to drive and enjoyable. Just do me a favor and watch out for the crowds 😂😂😂
Let's talk about how much we appreciate the ad free videos!
there's an ad 20mins into the vid wdym
Thank you adblock
@chadlustig I'm not talking about those, those I don't mind as much because they can easily be skipped past, I'm talking about the youtube sponsored ads. The ones you have to wait until you can skip them.
@@pat30185 ah gotcha
@@pat30185 your right....love it.....its NORMAL now in sad youtube 2024 ad filled nightmare world..!!! YAY....Thats A W...(INNER).!
Always wanted to do this. With the insurance rates of a 6 cylinder car. That’s a BIG WIN LEE!
Ya bc saving $12 a month really adds up
And then they pay you out for a v6 car 💀💀
Don’t crash, hard ask in a mustang
Quick tip for you. If you hold the clutch in and put the gas pedal to the floor, the car goes into “clear flood mode”. This cuts the fuel system so you can turn it over without starting. It’s a good thing to use if you’re priming the motor as well. If you have an auto car you can mash the brake pedal and gas at the same time and it will do the same thing. Works on all ford vehicles at least since 2005ish from my experience. 20:54
Dont know about manuals but pretty sure you just have to push the gas pedal all the way woth no brakes. Also i think its for drive by wire vehicles only
@@hank1556 standards won’t crank unless the clutch pedal is all the way down. Ford went to DBW in 05/06 for the most part. It’s been a while since I did it on my 06 f 150 so it probably doesn’t need the brake pedal.
@@hank1556 Unless the manual has a no clutch start override for off-roading then I'd imagine the clutch is pushed with the fuel pedal to get the circuit closed from the clutch start safety
Just bought a new to me 2012 GT/CS off a good friend of mine two days ago for dirt cheap because the Coyote has a rod knock. Thanks to this video and the first one done on this car, I know roughly what to expect and what upgrades to do while the engine is out. Thanks, Lee!
Nice pick up! Good luck!
@@LeeC I want to buy the Hoss!
The Hoss 302 lives on. It's a bummer, but you know it's all part of it. Hopefully not a cracked block, and just a rear main seal. Still awesome. Thanks Ray
The silver and red boss 302 got hit by a North Myrtle Beach police sergeant he was drunk driving we was there it happened at mustang week 2023 he hit it in a jeep the mustang was in mint condition till that
I’ve got a Silver Ingot Boss LS and seeing that wrecked LS made me sick! Did get some great parts that made your Hoss build though.
Sounds like police to me
100% its the rear main seal, bad backfire will cause this. When you lost that intake cap when it blew off was the same time the rear main seal blew out. i will put money on it.
Lee, love your channel and as a very long time supporter and as a 45 year collision shop owner/retired, I believe it’s time for you to invest in at least a used unibody frame bench and a measuring system which can be picked up used very reasonably. Yes, I can see just how talented you guys are with your forklift but your life and beloved projects. would be so much happier 😊
On a second watch I was thinking it is a good thing you changed over the dash/key/wiring… that way you keep the red key and the track tuning that ford made for the Boss 302.
I have a 13 Boss and a friend just bought a used 12. His didn’t come with the red key and we have to do a bunch of things to get a new one.
The red key is what makes the Boss a BOSS!
Also… not sure if the Laguna Secas shocks and struts survived… but you should use those in the Hoss… the LS did have different suspension than the regular Boss.
I regret I should have bought the LS suspension when I had a chance.
Lee said he has to swap over the entire electrical system…..I immediately think oh god, I’m praying for his sanity to stay intact ( hopefully it goes a lot smoother than the demon )
yes...
S197s are super easy though. Especially since there isnt much difference in the harnesses
Facts😂‼️😮💨
i have a 2012 gt/cs that i’m building, this series definitely made me fall in love with the channel!
I really enjoy this series because my mom had a boss and apparently loved driving it fast. She unfortunately passed when i was a very young kiddo but she lives on in my heart. Apparently she rolled her's 4 times 😆 I think she enjoyed it. One day man, one day imma get a boss to honor her.
the little yellow connector on the passenger side is for the curtain airbags. It runs down the A pilar only on the passenger's side and connects right under the dash. I know this because I just changed the ac blend door actuator in my f150 and remember the same plug.
The videos this man makes are so fast paced I thought I was almost at the end of it, and it was going to be multi part. Nope, I’m only 15 minutes in.
fast paced but filled with all the important info. I love how he skips over the boring parts.
Yeah those boring parts that he skips are more important than what people think, you can’t just throw something together and half ass explain the build then expect people or viewers to fill in the blanks on challenges you had to overcome during the build.
@@justinw523 Yea cus he never shows the challenges he has to overcome...
“These things really like to yell at you” 😂 can’t stress it enough
17:00 I know they're not soldered from the factory but it adds a nice little professional touch if you do it.
ScrapLifeLee you and your crew make cars remarkable.
Honestly I’d love to watch a whole “Chrysler 300 swap” series Low key. I’d loved to see y’all’s run on a track!
Definitely worth the time and money.. I think it's AC negative you need to weld aluminum. Not all tig welders are for aluminum.
I’m a ford mechanic but don’t quote me on this but ford uses the same harness in different trim levels so that plug could be for a higher optioned mustang.
nice hope oil leak is easy Like a goofy hose or something that's not hooked up for like an oil cooler.
Best of luck.
Day 1 of me asking for a Manual Chrysler 300 hellcat build
Can’t wait for the 3rd installment on the Ho$$!!
Some gloss black skirts and mirrors would make it look so good, match all the nice black on it 💪🏼 just any of the bland black plastics, i did it to my BA falcon and it's literally nigĥt and day. So SO much better.
as another red/black ford owner, i love the build man.
Amazed that you took 3 vehicles and made one bad ars Mustang! Stay with it and lets see it on the track!!
Tech here, when you have brak fluid on anything, water works soooooo much better than just using brake clean. It's funny to say but I'm telling you it works.
This has been one of favorite builds! Good content!
That one connecter my be for your head light and running light selector you push it in turn it and pull it out and plug the plug in
Good video tattoos 👏
I saw a similar prob on a focus changing a trans 2 large connectors witch were identical plugs side by side were plugged incorrectly dame ford
The way you talk to the camera sounds like you’re practicing in hopes to be on Horsepower TV or some kind of cable network TV that will sponsor you LOL…This is what my shop would look like if I lived in a rich city close to a salvage auction yard 😂
That one plug may be for running lights behind the head light switch you push in turn it and it pulls out than you can plug it in now I may be wrong just had something similar happen with me
6:37. Reminds me of the spine scene in Predator.
those wheels are fantastic
I have a 2013 pw boss 302 and this was a cool series enjoyed the content
The exact way the tape came out has to go back in very important. It may look like 200 million hour NASCAR. Tape, but it's there for a reason.
That ngauge is a turning jewel hopefully it's a Lund ngauge and is still supported and probably the best coyote tuner if it's HP well you're shit out of luck and it's unsupported. That ngauge holds the performance and stock tune but also shows you every sensor and run diagnostic plus data logging for future tunes.
Man... This looks and sounds amazing and drives amazing too
Pretty cool man, I would love to be able to take 2 or 3 cars and make one but that is a little out of my range to even attempt. Maybe one day. It was really cool to see this and the transformation.
At 21:44 - i feel your pain... I have a 95 mustang GT and in the passenger kick panel area, there are 2 plugs that are the same color and interchangeable. I made the mistake of plugging them in wrong and it made some wonky issues. Once i plugged it in correctly, i marked the 2 plugs that go together.
Sounds amazing. Mustangs always do! Not the v6 lol, but across the years the v8s have a great rumble. Borla just turns things up to 11 😎
I used to have a 1996 Ford Bronco with the 5.8L and Borla exhaust. She sounded amazing
Ap racing products are awesome so you got a great upgrade on that
Awesome to see this getting done. I loved my 2013 5.0. Just remember this chassis can snap oversteer if you push to hard.
I repaired one years ago easiest way to do this. Clip it from rear to front with florist and windshield posts and it came out beautiful rather than go through all that with this trying to repair things for Clips would be the deal. Trust me on that. Good luck with it Barry. 1:13
Some of the text came out wrong. It should’ve said floors all the way up underneath the dash.
I stumbled upon your channel from my recommendations and truly appreciate your channel for 7 months now.... awesome channel
First time to channel. This is really great stuff. The kind of pacing i love in yt videos
Amazing quality video. Keep up the great work. Here's hoping it's a rear main seal.
Crazy amount of work, nice!
Y’all should hellcat swap a mustang
Guys guys!! You should've sectioned the cars and put them together.. right behind the shifter to retain all the necessary stuff to use the shifter and also have the proper vin for the boss 302 not to mention the entire wire harness.. would've saved you soon much time and headache... In my opinion anyway
Lee C has to invest in a proper frame machine, with this level of body/frame repairs. Keep the awesome builds coming.
Absolutely love this build! Currently lookingfor engine package for my sierra this would be mint. Would love if i could get some more info from you regarding sump etc
Lee, I understand the thought about getting demoralized when the key turns and you get zero. But, as you showed, there is a top down process to overcome the shock. Looking forward to the solution of the oil leak, and I hope it's only the rear seal.
Turned out to be a nice looking car.
Bellissima ford mustang distrutta 😮😮😮❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Looking good! Hope you fix the oil issue without too much trouble! I love my 2012 Boss 302! 2012 was the best year!
Great job! I really, really enjoyed watching this transfer because it really demonstrates how possible it is for anyone to duplicate the same process.
It really is! Even with basic tools and some time
Love the 5.0 sound since fox body
great video. Loved watching you guys doing the swap. Everyone wishes they had the space, lift and ambition to do that!
Love the hoss bro
Hey Lee, when you took a short spin. How was this oil psi? and did you smell burning oil on run up? Hopefully it's just a rear seal. Not that that's a fun job after all you went through to get to this point. Really enjoy your build, THANKS for taking us all along for the ride.
You Gus are absolutely rocking this build. 😊
Omg 😂you need to watch Matt Armstrong
You the best bro
You walked in filming oil drips on the ground exactly like it was a MIRDER SEEN 😜😜😜😜😜😝😝😝😝😝😝🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
i think it'd be cool since he worked on the 302 if Lee here could restore a new edge mustang (I have one and would love to watch him rebuild one too)
Dude this guy is cool as hell man he really teaching me so much just by watching and I’m so intrigued because I love cars and I’m trying to go to school and be a mechanic 🤷♂️ This channel is 💯💯💯
I understand how you say he fell off but I’ve never seen the view window spin and the thumbs up turn also. It’s interesting because I will never do what he does and because UA-cam is my way to be a jack of all videos and won’t travel nowhere. I wish all that are doing all best wishes and the naysayers can sit and still act like you have time to watch and still do nothing with yourself. Just learn and wish you could be as lucky as all that are doing. 😂 it was cool to see the things spin. Have you ever seen it do that? Now I have one over on you. 😅🎉❤
You have the dream job Lee..
watching this makes me want a 2012 boss 302, or to find a crashed 2011-12 and take everything out and swap it into my mustang.
Getting the shaft in place and 5 minutes of pumping. Wish I was there to give you a hand. 🤚
👀
Amazing content as always! Thank you
Add a procharger
Man you just go all in don’t ya ? Bought another boss 302 that’s baller bro big love from sparrows point Maryland
I'm glad you fixed it ❤
Send the seats to an upholstery shop and have them replace the "boss" panel with a "HO$$" one.
The car looks the nuts
Just watch out with the timeing chains. In Australia we got the same motors just that they have duall overhead cams. My mum owns a ba xr8 with our "boss 5.4" pulled it appart cause it wasn't starting and found broken bits of plastic and metal in the sump. Before we got it it obviously dropped the timeing chains and they just did a timeingchain slap
I think you might be right Lee, could be the engine mount to the block, hope not. Great video boys. 🇦🇺
I WANT YOUR JOB❤❤❤
Nice job on this one I really enjoyed it, guy up by me bought a 4k mile '13 laguna seca from copart, I couldnt match his price, car is for sale as a roller now, too bad that silver one was smashed, I would loved to see that one rebuilt since you were considering the white one!
There was a recall on the takata airbags for a lethal defect. The airbags could explode and kill the driver. I had a 2012 Mustang in red, I miss it every day😢
good luck. hope the fix isn't too expensive. nice job so far though.
I love this channel ❤
This sound beautiful i love this build
As soon as you said “start this mf up” lol I was a subscriber. Excellent work from a fellow Lee!
Love your videos
Definitely love your channel keep us informed on the Mustang's status 😊
Bro should've done a once over the on the whole motor before swapping the motor in. Live and learn....some day.
Great swaps all the time…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻…😎
I was wondering if you guys are gonna do a video on the new gt500 cftp on copart that just got added
The reservoir on the white one is an aftermarket clutch reservoir. Stock the clutch supply comes from the brake fluid reservoir.
Im not a big Mustang fan. But I miss the 90s and early 2000s dash style. They had personality
Keep it going!!! Love the videos!!!!
Should just double wing bro. Because on the double stick tape from original wing. Just cut it to fit. Looks better.
Best content on UA-cam hands downs and the way you present it Lee is a major reason. You and Fernando make a great team and the projects you guys put together are amazing. These rebuilds using special model's parts are particularly satisfying to see - the BO$$ 302 is a great example of that. Looking forward to seeing more of it and other such projects.
8:26 shifters a bit limp 😅😂
18:10 nahhh it was low key tryna jump scare you 💀
42:35 wait fr I though that was a stock feature 😂
That's one hell of a frame jig you got there ☺
You make great content … don’t change!!
I appreciate that!
