Video on Demand now with free download $32.95

Four hours of Hands On instructions. This is the first volume in a two volume set showing what’s involved in swapping a 5.0L engine into a Ford Fox bodied car. The project car used is an 88 Turbo Coupe TBird and the engine is from an Explore but this video is applicable for any 5.0L and Fox platform. Vol. 1 includes engine/trans removal and suspension upgrades. No overhauling of the engine however basic wear items are checked. I do go over cylinder head removal, camshaft installation, information on valve train geometry, make valve lash adjustments, study cam design, prime the oil pump, reassemble the long block and install it back in the car Lots of tips and tidbits to be aware of when doing this swap. Volume two shown below, is the companion dvd to volume one (see discount when buying both sets). It has the transmission installation, complete info on wiring up and troubleshooting EEC 4 electronics as well as firing up the engine.

Brand New 5.0L Engine Swap Vol. 2

Video on Demand now with free download $32.95

Like the companion 5.0L swap volume one above, this film is over four hours long and it covers installing the tranny, hooking up cooler lines, fuel lines, water hoses etc., talk about EEC wiring, see what is reused, what is needed for a donor harness to be interfaced and getting the engine started. I included a detailed troubleshooting guide to diagnose a no start situation and suggestions on finding a misfire at idle. The last chapter is on EEC testing, perform troubleshooting on injectors and using a DVOM to test input sensors as well as explaining now they work. Throughout the video, I give enough general info on the operation of the EEC 4 injection system that you should be able to get any 5.0L EFI up and running. This second volume should be bought together with volume one (see double dvd discount) to have the complete package, concept to engine startup. At a later date I may do more phases using this Turbo Coupe as a base. Maybe a stroker engine, supercharging, installing an aftermarket EEC controller but for now I’ll wait to hear back from you the customer. Email me if you have questions or want purchase info on this DVD.
