- @wastingmymoneyonmotorcycles Brought me his 1971 Ford Mustang Convertible for some major upgrades. She looks pretty with the Mach 1 graphics/hood but he said its REALLY SLOW. Let's see if we can get it running right before pulling the 302 engine.
Thanks @BlasterProducts for sponsoring this video!
and thank you @EricWrenchMotors for helping with the engine swap.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!

Man, you got yourself a lift and you got that new garage finished. You've really made some upgrades, dude. Congratulations on all the success you've been having!
Don't think you'll fit a lift in your garage at the moment! We don't have enough space here in LA! Cool to see other channels posting here. E46 ftw!
"I've got to stop driving junk!" -- Chris 2024. We heard him, Jen, he can't deny he said it!
🌶😎
It’s so true but the price tags take us back to junk.
😁😁😁 On the other hand: Repairing/cleaning/reviving old defective stuff made this channel what it is. And it will grow even more for sure.
Best regards, luck and health to all four of you.
Gimme the older stuff any day...I have a 10 year old car and it has nothing on an old 1992 Vauxhall Nova SR! New cars are horrible.
@@lukeclarke1068 I agree. My 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham is better than the newer Cadillacs on the road. The old technology is easier to work on.
Tell you what, I'm 79 years old. My first automotive job was at a Rambler/Metropolitan dealership as a lot boy after school. Put a 52 Cadillac engine in my 49 Ford when I was 18. Worked at various dealerships, gas stations, and garages over the years until I switched occupations. That was absolutely the first time I ever saw anybody pull an engine with the hood on! I was really looking forward to watching you put the engine back in with the hood on! Didn't happen. Now that I've pulled your chain a little 🙂 just want you to know I really like your channel. If I wasn't so old I would have made you an offer on the Torino. Really liked that car!! Keep up the good work and keep your hood up! or off....
Don’t take the hood off unless absolutely necessary.sits around taking up space,good chance of getting damaged,then the damn adjustment could give you problems even if you mark it and use the old bolt position marks in the paint.
I popped a 390 out of my 67 f250 and put it back without taking the hood off. Yeah it's harder but it's nice to close it and cover everything if you're not finished. And yes the hood alignment is still the same
I'm 81 and have always been a GM guy. But I love this channel. You are I were lucky enough to be born at the right time to truly enjoy the evolution of cars and music. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Friday evening here in the UK… just settled in with a beer and BOOM! NNKH drops a new vid. Perfect. Just perfect. 👍🏻
When done watching this video you can our college kids protest😮
@@bradwilliams5242 😂😉🤪
@@bradwilliams5242 Hard pass… Don’t want to risk getting anywhere close to Lauren Boebert. Although, I do like Beetlejuice…
My girlfriend (now ex) of two years just dumped me for another guy, absolutely devastated, NNKH you may not realize it now, but you help people way beyond automotive knowledge, love this channel, keep it up man!
sorry,thats rough..........buy a project
Sorry to hear that man. What a bummer. I'm sure in the end it will work out to be the best thing ever for you! Wishing you awesome things to come. Greatly appreciate you tuning into the channel and awesome to hear that you enjoy the videos.
I agree with this comment, always cheers me up when i get the NNKH new video notification
Sorry man, sounds like she was for the streets. Monkeys don't let go of one branch till they grab another. He'll lose her the same way he got her :)
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened!
Hey chris your brother has a badass mullet 😂
Indeed!
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Can you tell me the name of the song your brother was dancing to please???
TX
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow bro is a cool dude..what's his name?
Bought a ford project here in Australia, and after some. Ruised knuckles and alot of swearing..almost 90% finished. During that time ive been binge watching your channel. Said to my wife last night "man, its alot better watching someone else doing a rebuild, then doing it myself" hahaha. Good channel.
You always have such good music on in the background of these videos. The Ennio Morricone soundtracks are 👌🏻
Keep em coming dude! Thanks for uploading
Will do! Appreciate you tuning in!
You have good taste in music kind sir. Beautiful car. I always love you vids. God bless.
can you name the songe his friend was dancing to it TX
Silent circle......Touch in the night @@dedodedoosh9784
CCR or Country its all oldies but Goodies!🎉
Forgetting the dust shield is straight to the heart for me. I have done that so many times 😅
Pulling that engine and trans out in one piece with that header attached and the hood on was impressive!
I was sweating having to take that hood off.
I always pull the hoods off lol I just like having the extra room and throw some extra light down there but it’s his shop. He always knows what he’s doing.
Always get a "breathable" car cover. I get them from HP and the cost about $50. They do have to be replaced every year because the sunlight and UV rays make them porous and brittle. But that's what the covers are there for, primarily to absorb and protect against UV rays, which destroy all plastic, leather and rubber parts -- interior too, dashboards, rubber weatherstripping and plastic trim especially. If you own a convertible, the breathable cover will save your top and prolong its life by 10 years. Oh yes, a desiccant pillow in the trunk and under one of the front seats will absorb massive amounts of moisture and protect the wiring and leather from corrosion/mould. Every month or so, remove the desiccant pouch and leave it on a radiator or in a sunny window to dry out for 24 hours, then return to car.
Excellent advice - I've always done the same.
Put the car in the garage, you won't need a cover.
Its official, Mullets are back
Hey Chris, I haven't watched a lot of your videos (yet) but I have to say that I really like how you see a problem and just dive right in like it's no big deal. I also love the diversity of the content and the mixture of work and play. Keep up the great videos! Thanks for taking all of the time and effort to put it all together!
I've done hundreds of those axle seals and you got to pack the back of them with grease so the spring don't pop off when you're putting them in😮😮
Good idea, I'll definitely be doing that in the future. Glad I noticed the springs popped off
Yes good thing you notice the spring popped off those can make a real mess without a doubt I've actually had to repair the Carnage it could cost you everything
Really enjoy this for a change of routine. NNKH should do this more often. 😊
Love the song choice playing when you were dropping the rear end.
Open header fire ups are always a good time!
I’m a guy that prefers quiet or quieter exhaust these days. I like to listen to my engine.
Agree- it's nice to hear the engine and a nice tone. The "Straight pipe it!" logic makes no sense to me, you can't drive the car for hours & not be tired of the drone & boom inside the car. Not to mention making the dumb-ass "Look at me, I'm going to cause trouble!" statement cops just love. A nice X-crossover & high-flow, but not obnoxious, mufflers make plenty of flow and are very livable. Oh, also down turns under the vehicle- no bueno...
How with quiet exhaust?
@@garycamara9955 It's a combo of a good sound/note from the exhaust, induction sound, all that. It's that balance
"Well, we've gone two feet but I like it so far." Jenn is the best.
Great video Chris. I was watching the Home Pro the other day and he mentioned that you and Jen helped him get his channel back up after he got hacked. I just wanted to mention to that and say Thank you both for being great people.
Chris, my first car was a 71 Mustang coupe. I did the rear springs, engine and a bunch of other stuff. Thanks so much for this video. What a trip down memory lane! I love the chrome on the hood and and fenders, just like mine.
" I gotta stop driving junk " 🤣
Friends don't let friends drive junk lol
Or FORDs
Wow nice to see a 71 stange i had a royal blue color i got from an old lady for 3000 after her husband passed and it was an automatic hardtop.When i got the car 37000 mi. On it in 81
I cleaned it up and resold it for 9000 to a family friend
I'm not a Ford guy but that thing does sound healthy. I hope it runs as well on the strip.
Theses mustangs were underated back in 80s & 90s ran the crap out of these cars was fun excellent 😊
The Gus-man needs a nail trim Chris :) I've had dogs all my life and I just set a reminder in my email calendar to do it once a month. That way, you get them used to it and you're only ever just taking a smidge off and there's no danger of getting into the quick, if you're skilled. As it stands at this point, you'll have to be more aggressive with how much you have take off and that's where you can get into trouble and get into the quick with black nails, that you're guessing on. They hate that :) And, you'll make them wary of the whole process as a consequence.
I'd say, take a safe amount off, then revisit the trim in two weeks. Then, just take off a bit and repeat in another two weeks. The quick will recede as the nail gets shorter, so your job will get easier as time progresses. You just have to keep on top of it. Just don't get carried away :) I've seen owners that have their dog's nails so short, they look ridiculous and the dog can't do what they should naturally be able to do in soft terrain. Basic rule of thumbs is, once they don't make any of that clicking sound when walking on a hard surface, that's the perfect length, you don't have to go any shorter.
Dog advice over :) Loved the video! That is one beautiful car your friend has. Thanks as always for posting and looking forward to the next one!
Cheers, Sev
Take a small led pen light shine from bottomup on nail should then be able to see were quick is,black nails is still a guess but the light still helps.shitzu owner.snooky pa.😊😊
Thank God, a convertible at last !!! Loving it !!!!
"I gotta stop driving junk"
Errrr no Chris, that's why we love NNKH
loved how you opened the door for Jen, very classy lady deserves the best 👌🏼
Sometimes I'll watch hers just because!
Your brother cracks me up.. his intro was spot on.
I can't wait to see it rip.
This video could have been 90 min and I would have watched it all. Really nice car.
Absolutely. Cut it way too short.
Love how excited you are when it starts. That feeling never gets old no matter how many times it happens
Incredible content. Watched a 9 in go together, automatic into manual, engine swap and even some dance moves. Filming and wrenching is outta sight. Thanks
He’s got it going on he does
Your tundra frame looks incredible for living in the rust belt! Great work on the old mustang!
He's really not in the rustbelt, he's in Philadelphia, not upstate New York.
And the Tundra was even completely under water once! Don't forget that. But maybe all the salt was washed away when Chris sank the car!? 😁 ;-)
?
Whats rust?
@@garycamara9955
👍👌👏😁😁😁 2) I guess that's the fine brown dust on the underside of your vehicle after driving through a sandy desert for instance?
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Thank you so much for everything you do Chris. What an awesome video. Your brother is awesome on camera, just like you. When I’m at work, I just binge watch all your old videos. I don’t think you’ve ever made a bad video.
The very first thing that needed to go were those wheels! 🛞 That would make a world of difference.
That is a pretty cool Mustang, you hardly ever see 1971's on the road. You make an engine swap look easy.
Man i could definitely hang out and work on cars with you. You listen to my kind of music. Im always singing the songs in your background
Mustang Magnum 500 OEM style wheels would look good on that car
Dude is Rockin a mullet
Bring back the 80s 🍺 🍻 🍺
Hahaha!
No rust? No spiders!? What the hell is this ? 😂
keep them coming, love your channel!
"I gotta stop driving junk", you do a great service bringing the older cars back. Maybe one you can make the channel car, that is REAL NICE :)
Btw all of your videos should have, need, must have, a cameo appearance by Gus! We love him! Oh and Jen!
They do.
And dont forget Deisel, he and Gus play fighting is gold
Damn PA quit using salt in your roads get with the 21st century Beet juice is where it’s at! Surface rust galore! It is 50+ years old tho so not so bad.
your buddy's mullet was pretty bad ass, the dancing was too bad either.
It’s not junk. It’s honestly inspiring to see you give life to things other people would consider trash. Keep on rockin in the free world 🤘👌🙌
I literally can't wait to watch this...!
It's about time!😃
Thats a work of art
We need whoever that guy is in more videos!!!!
Can we have an Eastern Pennsylvania meet up?
Cool car 🔥🔥🔥💯💯
i always respect how you do not edit out your mistakes like forgetting that backing plate on engine
I've never had any luck with a atk I certainly hope this is different then my experiences great video!
Wheels can ruin the look of a car and those wheels need to go ! great vid as always
Another great video, Chris. Thank you for all you do. Keep em coming.
Nice project. Like that you found something that was not dying from terminal cancer! Love it, keep em coming!
You need to give us longer videos my man! 38 minutes for an engine swap? Give me more!! Lmaooo all jokes aside longer videos are a must! I appreciate all your attention to detail and im sure thousands of others do!
It’s a shame you can’t get the 351 Cleveland anymore. Now that’s a motor. The 302 would be fine if it was set up right. 😂
You can find them you just gotta build them yourself or get someone to build it hard to buy out of a book though
Well, im finally about to start my project car thanks to the courage you provide. 97 Civic with D16y7 block & y8 head. I plan to turbo, got any suggestions? 😅
Best suggestion would be just tear right in! Soon as you get started as soon as you can work out all the fun obstacles along the way
Cant wait cheers 🥂 guys excellent 😊
When I first saw your brother, I thought it was a flashback to 10 years ago, and it was you with a mullet. Tripped me out for a second!
I thought it was a flashback too.
a possi rear end AND a rear swaybar AND more power. That car is gonna be a handfull on a wet road.
325 gear.....
man i hate those wheels on that mustang nice car besides that
Really like your haircut and your enthusiasm in this video...@ 5:58..now to watch the rest...great so far
Fuel filter should be before the fuel pump not after next to carburetor ! 🤔🙏🏿
I've put them before the fuel pump before. It can cause issues with the pump being able to siphon fuel from the tank.
nope,not in any of the v8 carbed vehicles ive ever owned
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Can you tell me the name of the song your frined was dancing to please???
TX
i HATE IT WHEN YOU KIDS PULL ORIGINAL PARTS ON A NICE CAR!
easy to go back to a low compression,2 bbl original engine.im sure they kept it
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 I hope so, when I was young in the late 70s I changed engines, I wish I never did that! And I lost the engine to someone! Car is worth so much more also being original
Much of the car is already unoriginal, including paint. No value in keeping what’s left. Might as well make it newer and more fun. I’m sure if it was a numbers matching all original car, it wouldn’t have ended up in Chris’ garage.
That plain Jane Mustang ain’t worth that much original 2V302 are anemic
No, if it was me, I would kept that engine wrapped up in plastic and filled with marvel and the c4 auto. Just to keep it complete. But some ppl don’t care and honestly I don’t see it adding a lot of value. But I am a car guy 100%
71 pre smog days and cat converters ,Lots of possibilities I've seen 460s stuck in these mustangs ,A exciting Build Chris thanks for adding it to the channel can't wait to see the finished product ,that should make for a fun ride
Thanks. You packed a lot into this video. Good camera work. Interesting that a new character (Eric) appeared in the Saga of NNKH. Told myself to wait 'til later but didn't have the discipline so watched the whole thing.
Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the father but through him.
Amen
AMEN
Not the place…
I'm glad you believe that, but no one asked.

Chris Vienna, I love your content. Love your channel and your brother's an absolute trip. And this is coming from a 59-year-old mechanic. You guys are a trip. I'm located over here in Brownsville. New Jersey would love to have you guys over sometime.
I only watch these videos to see Gus... J/K! I think it's wonderful that the car's owner is doing it right, and he has a damn good mechanic doing the work and putting good quality parts into the build.
Thanks for the vid Chris enjoyed it 👍
Just love the flow to your videos my man, been watching for a long time. My life has been much like yours doing same type of stuff for 35 years since i was a kid. My first car was a free 1978 pontiac sunbird a friend on my school bus parents owned and after seeing it sit a few weeks of school and dropping him off I asked him about it and the parents gave it to me. I got it towed to my house and ended up doing timing gears on it. Was a 2.3 liter maybe? Cant remember but it was green coupe white interior clean car rwd auto.... I played with that car everyday and finally fixed it granted i was a tooth off or maybe it had a bent valve cause it never ran perfect. But I just figured stuff out, been doing that my whole life.
Chris thanks for sharing these 71 Mustang Convertible upgrades. They really make this Car a Gem! As always your work is exemplary and a joy to watch.
Another pony - yay!! I wonder what a 4 barrel and larger exhaust and some tuning would have done for that 302 - it sounded a little cammed before swap. The 347 sounds really great with open headers! As always - nnkh content makes me smile. Thanks for the vids.
I just love how much crap you a belt to organize and store at your home. It’s amazing.
Brake line with the motor out,just finished ABS delete replacing all lines with Valex Racing braided stainless on my project 92 CB7 coupe,big brakes it took me a week with the motor in..I'm 65 and still wrenching ..love your videos..faithful viewer
Wow Chris that sounds badass shes gonna rip great job bud thats a huge job
Maybe you can implement your brother more often in the video's, looks like a lot of fun!
I love how the song is synced up with the action at 11:07 - great video once again!
Love watching you work. You're a great mechanic, thank you for the great video
Sweet, good job for ya there and you get to share it here.
You have an A+ taste in music
Awesome video, as always, man. It's really cool to see your channel grow and you taking on bigger projects !
Good to see ya... cars like this were all over the place and unoticeable when i was a teenager.now they are so hard to find in good condition.brings back memorys of people,places,and faces.
Good to See You Chris
Nice work brother. Great content.
Thanks
Thanks for the good infos and teaching Chris. cheers from France
Love the channel Chris. Best wishes to you, Jennifer and the Gus man from all the NNKH fans over here in France. 🙂
Thanks so much Chris for another amazing video.
I bought a new 70 Mustang Fastback with the 302 two barrel engine. It was rated 220hp but that was the old gross hp rating. In 71 that engine was detuned and rated flywheel hp at 140hp I believe. I set the intial timing at 10 degrees BTDC and modified the centrifugal advance to pull in another 22 degrees at about 3,000 rpm and it ran surprisingly well. After owning it 7 yrs, I bought a 69 Cougar with the 351W with a four barrel carb. I was planning to swap just the engine but the Cougar had the beefier FMX trans and 9" rear so I swapped the entire drive train. Basically, it had the 69 Mach I Mustang drive train at that point. Then I swapped the manual front drum brakes for the Cougar power disc. It ran great and I embarrassed a few 6.6 Firebird Trans Ams with that car. I also added large sway bars on the front and rear, 428 Mustang coil springs in the front and it handled decent. Sold it after 11 years because it didn't have AC.
enjoying the new format of upgrading subscribers cars. hope to see more of this content
I use blaster to keep my garage door chain oiled because I heard about from you, Chris.
Nice to see , good things happen to hard working You.
Excellent job…well done!
appreciate your effort and consistent quality in your videos chris. awesome stuff man.
That was another excellent backyard production I very much enjoyed. I'll be following along... I got a kick out of your brothers moves. Too damn funny not to mention.
