wow he is amazing it's good to have somebody like him!! and for only paying 200 the motor looks in better shape than the cobra engine!! can't wait to see this one in the turd!!
Awesome video! One thing that would be incredibly helpful to the 4v mod community would be a video on how to degree camshafts. Some experts on these engines think this is the only way to max power.
I realise this is a 3yr old comment but for anyone that is looking there is now a few good clips on degreeing 4v cams. Modular Head Shop/Mustang LifeStyle do a good job of showing the process using the 5.8 4v.
Wow, the shot of him turning them DOHC's by hand was badass. I was making the sound of a 4v exhaust in my head. That sound leading all the way back through the exhaust and right where those 32 valves are opening and closing. Very cool.
Thanks! This video is so useful. It's crazy in this day and age you cannot find a lot of detailed videos about these engines. I hope to upgrade the cams in my 97 cobra some time in the future.
As a pro tip for the four valve 4.6 well actually all 4.6 engines is on the primary timing chains counting from the crankshaft up to the timing mark on each of the camshaft counting counter clockwise is 30 outside links because some chains are not marked.
Mustang Lifestyle Great video guys!! Really cool to see how the engine and valvetrain operates. I've been sitting on complete top end set up from a 99 mustang gt to put in my 96 gt (PI swap) for almost a year now. This video definitely helped me with my motivation.
I'm so excited about Turdzilla being on the road in no time. Thanks for the tips on what to do for cam swaping on a Mark 8 engine to Cobra spec. 305 horsepower should be plenty for the GT. When said and done. Do a dyno run for some good numbers in the next up coming video. So want Turdzilla to run again. Keep up the good work.
Do you by chance remember what the original Crank bolts were if it was 6 or 8 also who was the person you got the base tune from for the Mark VIII swap I'm at the tail end of mine and starting the manual swap and was curious if you knew?
This is a really good video, I have a Mark VIII from a 98 Cobra that I swapped in my 97 GT and I needed this information before but glad I found it, still havent gottent it running yet. Swapped the firewall harness, ECM, Engine harness, flashed disabling PATS with DELTA FORCE, still getting THEFT light, cranks, NO FUEL. Any Ideas?
Hey Ruben, sorry for the question, but how much should I be paying to have this done? I have the same exact cobra camshafts and I want to install them on my Lincoln mark 8
When you guys checked the cam clearance you mention that if the cams did not spin freely you would have to file it to get the clearance needed. Could you explain the process?
Dang i wish you would have done a better video on the step by step of removing and installing the cams. IM doing the exact thing on my 97 cobra using a 95 mark 8 engine.
Timing parts are important bought an Lincoln aviator engine same as the mach 1 engine for 140 out of a wrecked truck i will have around 500 in the engine after the new timing parts mach 1 intake etc i would not put it in without a timing kit
So no clearances were checked for the followers, the caps where NOT torqued at all or in the proper sequence. Wouldn’t have this guy touch my mod motor.
Hey Andrew, could you make a video of how to prime a 4v engine? Figured I'd ask since there's no videos on UA-cam showing the process, and it's an important step to do before starting a new or rebuilt engine.
+racequad9 hold the gas to the floor while trying to start. The engine will turn over and flow oil throughout the engine without starting. Key on primes the fuel system
I'm sure you've said it in some video but I don't remember which one it is, but where did you get the smoked clear corner headlights on the Turd? I have clear corners too but they're not smoked like those. And I love how those look!
you guys didn't degree the cams. that's like 30 to 40 HP loss and tons of valve train stress. it's astounding that nobody else has said anything either ??? as a mechanic I wouldn't even let it go out the shop until I degreeded it
No offense but I think your "mechanic" is either lazy, or not that good, I saw how he beat your harmonic balancer on with a hammer. That is highly unprofessional. I'm not knocking him we all have to learn but that mistake could cost you an engine down the road. So of you have crank bearing failure or crank failure, you will know why...
Dude, you are clearly uneducated in this matter. All cams are off some. also, the complexity of 4 cams make it that much worse. It is worth a minimum of 25hp up to 40hp....even the factory cams have been off a massive amount....edit: also the fact that the tensioners for the exhaust cams are flipped 180 from each side can cause something like 12 degrees of difference from one side to the next. MMR and other Modular race shops sell a kit that flips the tensioner for better control....
My 03 Mercury Marauder (they come with the 4.6 4v from the factory)sounded like it had a nasty cam in it I did a power balance test and found that the whole passenger side bank one was running not up to performance compared to the driver side I eventually pulled the motor to find that the timing chain had jumped one tooth I think it had retarded itself just one tooth and heck I raced the crap out of it still running like that too.
Great that Ford and Dodge are still building V8's. I went with a Chrysler 3.5 V6 LHS car for awhile , but I trust the V8 more. I hear that KIA and Hyundi both have a V8 car the market now. It will be great if they are good engines and the parts are affordable etc.. Japanese cars and parts are too expensive , I think a Korean V8 might be a good choice. If not let me know why you think otherwise.
i don't get where people are calling the mk8 intech motor a cobra motor. The blocks, crank, pistons, and rods , valves are all different. The only thing the same is the design of the motor, I don't know how long 400hp going through a 300 hp engine will last
Runt Medearis well usually it's somewhere on the top end of the engine. What it does is tells the computer the position of the Cam so the computer can properly time the firing of the injectors and spark based on the position of the cam
Runt Medearis if the car isn't turning over you have a mechanical issue. If it is turning over but isn't firing up then it could be a bad cam sensor or it could be something else.

Wow, looking the mechanism of engine operating from inside is amazing
wow he is amazing it's good to have somebody like him!! and for only paying 200 the motor looks in better shape than the cobra engine!! can't wait to see this one in the turd!!
Even with a junkyard motor, I’d be replacing the chain guides.Less work to do it now.

This nick guy knows what he’s doing 👍👍
Dam Andrew..back at it again with the mustang vids!
That cobra motor is paying for itself as the build goes along
Thanks! This video is so useful. It's crazy in this day and age you cannot find a lot of detailed videos about these engines. I hope to upgrade the cams in my 97 cobra some time in the future.
Holy hell. This video is so useful. I was worried about timing my own mark viii/cobra swap for my 97 GT but now it just looks fairly easy
You definitely deserve more viewers and subs. Would love to to see a full time mustang lifestyle one day.
Andrew these videos are gold bro showing people knowlegde like this will get you way more subscribers keep up the great work :)

Nick representing ML! He’s the man!!
Thanks for posting! I feel confident timing up my 5.4 dohc now. Thank you!
Rashad
Looks good man. Makes me want to do this swap in my mustang. Keep up the good work.
Awesome video andrew. One of your best!
You build it🐎,they will come😵!!nice job!!Ford Power💪😤
Do you by chance remember what the original Crank bolts were if it was 6 or 8 also who was the person you got the base tune from for the Mark VIII swap I'm at the tail end of mine and starting the manual swap and was curious if you knew?
My favorite kinda vids...keep them coming!

Wish you guys degreed the cams.
Fuckin a nick is the man hell yeah
Will just forged rod pistons and crank be enough for 600whp?
So question why don't you build the motor and make some good power n/a ? I know your worried about money but why not build that teskid block ?
+Termin8_03Cobra it would cost way too much to make a reasonable amount of power n/a. 4K or more for 350-400rwhp seems silly to me
Oh OK but still I would do like some new parts just in case something does break and you have to take it back apart
Great video! Love to see engine tear downs and rebuilds.
Try to do something with thatguymarin, he just moved to florida! Would be cool to see yall collab!
I sent him a message
Ok i get that hes a mechanic/engine builder and he knows what hes doing, but why not just use a torque wrench? Seems kinda silly
Hey Ruben, sorry for the question, but how much should I be paying to have this done? I have the same exact cobra camshafts and I want to install them on my Lincoln mark 8
"When you do enough of these you just get a feel for the torque". Thats complete bs! He just got lazy lol RIP engine
Thanks for sharing I’m looking forward to seeing this running
When you guys checked the cam clearance you mention that if the cams did not spin freely you would have to file it to get the clearance needed. Could you explain the process?
wht67 yes please, 1 of my cams is not spinning very freely
Dang i wish you would have done a better video on the step by step of removing and installing the cams. IM doing the exact thing on my 97 cobra using a 95 mark 8 engine.
not a fan of the vlogs and pointless starbucks drives on other videos but this is good keep it up
Nice rides Fellas
Timing parts are important bought an Lincoln aviator engine same as the mach 1 engine for 140 out of a wrecked truck i will have around 500 in the engine after the new timing parts mach 1 intake etc i would not put it in without a timing kit
Damn, my aviator ticks from the timing chain. No ticking under load, just at idle. Is it expensive to fix?
More vids like this would be great!!!!
I knew someone or everyone would chime in about that junk that fell in the engine. Goes to show, "Read those comments."
Did you guys file the ring gaps any or will it be necessary for this build?
Hey which cam bolts did u use in the cobra cams? Are the mark 8 bolts the same as the cobra bolts
So no clearances were checked for the followers, the caps where NOT torqued at all or in the proper sequence. Wouldn’t have this guy touch my mod motor.
Hey Andrew, could you make a video of how to prime a 4v engine? Figured I'd ask since there's no videos on UA-cam showing the process, and it's an important step to do before starting a new or rebuilt engine.
+racequad9 hold the gas to the floor while trying to start. The engine will turn over and flow oil throughout the engine without starting. Key on primes the fuel system
i've heard that the proper way is to actually use a pump and attach it to fitting near the oil filter.
We are going to hook up a pressure gauge with the coils unhooked. Priming the engine and making sure the psi is at pare before allowing spark
Mustang looks like my old 1 I sold in Illinois.
Nick is very informative he should make a channel
I'm sure you've said it in some video but I don't remember which one it is, but where did you get the smoked clear corner headlights on the Turd? I have clear corners too but they're not smoked like those. And I love how those look!
+Some600Rider I got them from LMR. If you look at the past few videos I just made a video about them since I got the same set for the cobra
Thank you very much Andrew, I'll have to pick up a set!
you guys didn't degree the cams. that's like 30 to 40 HP loss and tons of valve train stress. it's astounding that nobody else has said anything either ??? as a mechanic I wouldn't even let it go out the shop until I degreeded it
+lucian kristov they are set to factory spec... oem to make it easy and nothing to worry about
lucian kristov decreeing is not that necessary . If it gets degreed and the cam is ground wrong then people should not buy cams from that company.

Why changing out the oil pick up tube. Different oil pan?
Was imrc on the early 93-95 mark8’s?
My 03 Mercury Marauder (they come with the 4.6 4v from the factory)sounded like it had a nasty cam in it I did a power balance test and found that the whole passenger side bank one was running not up to performance compared to the driver side I eventually pulled the motor to find that the timing chain had jumped one tooth I think it had retarded itself just one tooth and heck I raced the crap out of it still running like that too.
Are the mark8 teksid blocks the exact same as the cobra ones
Great video! Keep it up!
How do you tighten the cam sprocket bolts without the cams moving?
Great that Ford and Dodge are still building V8's. I went with a Chrysler 3.5 V6 LHS car for awhile , but I trust the V8 more. I hear that KIA and Hyundi both have a V8 car the market now. It will be great if they are good engines and the parts are affordable etc.. Japanese cars and parts are too expensive , I think a Korean V8 might be a good choice. If not let me know why you think otherwise.
Love the content!!!
I'm 20, I've been a mechanic for 40 years and man... that is some bad work he did. Jk. This was a fun video. How much hp would this be pushing?
+Jose T. Hopefully 300rwhp
Digging it.
Why not some comp cams dude?
Cost vs. gain. Like I mentioned in the video, I am trying not to invest a lot into a $200 engine
Mustang Lifestyle Understood dude.
What springs were on your old black 5.0 GT?
How tf yall watch it that fast 😂
good video, nice info!
Single cam pushrod shit is easy but that motor kinda scares me i hope you were taking notes Andrew
How would you set the timing correctly on 2 cams on one side ?
What are lash adjusters? What do they do ?
The power of the internet saves your engine
cant wait to hear turd run
Cool video thx
very informative
Mustang life style, if the fuel pump fails on the 4.6 what are the symptoms? Or if anyone can answer my question? Please
No start???? Turn key listen for buzzing???
My oil turn black but no overheating, it turns and runs fine, no coolant burning so Idk what’s happening to it
how many people have u guys hit ??? just wondering
+Cody Cavender only 4 so far
good video
What was the cost for the cams?
I love it very good
Damn I wanna do a similar swap like this in my z28
lol “Thanks Chris” ouch!
Mind if I hang out for a weekend? Lol
I know I'm a little late but if anyone is still active does anyone know what cams were used in this video? I want to buy some cams for my car
96-98 cobra cams as stated in the video.
RUN ASHLEYS CAR ON E85
What year markk8
97
What type of college degree does he have? Mechanical engineering? Around automotive?
Just cut the cats out and weld pipes in its place
KENNETH _2v yesss
I miss seeing Ashley if she is at work and she had a big day I understand but I do miss seeing Ashley

stephen7740 Tekskid block?
Only thing that changes is crank and cams...other than that everything else is the same.
You going to paint that engine block
+Justin Fahnestock negative
Can Someone PLEASE TELL ME WTF IS THE JOB FOR A CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR
Why
I don't know where it's at ND wt it does . . But I need to install it on my v6 01
Runt Medearis well usually it's somewhere on the top end of the engine. What it does is tells the computer the position of the Cam so the computer can properly time the firing of the injectors and spark based on the position of the cam
And that's why I'm not turning over. . correct?
Runt Medearis if the car isn't turning over you have a mechanical issue. If it is turning over but isn't firing up then it could be a bad cam sensor or it could be something else.
How about some Thanksgiving burnout videos for tomorrow
+Justin Fahnestock You asked, you got it!
Thank you buddy
No offense but I'm more interested in Nick's Turbo Coyote swapped New Edge.
MURICA
360p squaddddd
0:30 turdzillas rear bumper looks like it ripped off 😣😣😣
MetalBoyScrap 15 yea I noticed that too
+MetalBoyScrap 15 that is the front bumper. Rear bumper is normal
Needs to keep the adds down wtf
your camera shaking is making me sick, BE STILL BOY
The mechanic says keep things clean when assembling engine ,yet look at leaves and mess on floor
+mike hardwick not his shop not his problem
Not his shop but he is working there,I wouldn’t want him working on my car
why he isn't doing it on the floor he had it laid out on a clean table and most important knows what he's doing.
dude needs more neck beard. doesn't look right all clean shaven like
i dont want any shit dropped in my motor lol...no thx
Cringe worthy.....
Old pushrod 5.0 make hp much cheaper
HarleyRider 283 and more reliable if tuned right.
