Sleazy's Garage
Installing the Alternator - Foxbody Restomod Part 95 - In this video, I spend an obscene amount of time shortening a bolt to install the alternator, actually install the alternator, install one of the serpentine belts, install the plug on the side of the oil pan that is for a low oil sensor (I'm not using it), an oil filter, and some other stuff. Lots of talking in this one, sorry, skip around if you want.
Coyote Engine Install Part 3 - Foxbody Restomod Part 94 - Finally putting an engine in this car after over 20 years. Will it go as planned? Spoiler alert, yep. Went right in. We did have to figure a few things out like putting the driver's side header on first but otherwise the whole thing didn't take much time at all. Next step, first fire?
Coyote Engine Install Part 2 - Foxbody Restomod Part 93 - In this video we finalize the preparations for putting the junkyard coyote into the car. We installed a Holley fox body coyote swap oil pan with Moroso oil pan studs and took a peek at the clutch that came off. Next video will have the engine going into the car. Use an engine stand folks!
Coyote Engine Install Part 1 - Foxbody Restomod Part 92 - In this video we start preparing the junkyard engine to get installed. This entails taking the intake off and adding the IMRC delete kit to it. I also had to remove the remaining exhaust manifold and one of the motor mounts. Finally, we install the SVE motor lift plate.
Coyote! - Foxbody Restomod Part 91 - My wife managed to find a low mileage used Coyote 5.0 from a wrecked 2017 Mustang GT. Then my father-in-law and I drove down to scoop it up and now it's back here in the garage. In this video we'll take a peek in the cylinders, remove some cut up hoses, and document how the wiring harness is run and what sensors it connects to. We'll also catalog what parts we need to buy to get closer to installing it.
Doing a tune-up on my 03 V6 Mustang. It's been sitting for a few months and it has a bit of a stumble in acceleration. I think the plugs were never changed and the oil is overdo. Part of me was hoping the engine was blown so I could have an excuse for a motor swap, but no dice.
Dashboard Reinstallation Part 1 - Foxbody Restomod Part 90 - In this video I started installing the dashboard again. It'll be a bit before we completely install it but the frame can go in now and we can start testing stuff. It's also the first time the car ever (for as long as I've owned it) had a "rest" pedal. I also jumped out the neutral safety check in my transmission harness with a temporary bypass and painted those two annoying spots on the door. Don't do that, by the way, it's not safe!
Doors Part 5 - Foxbody Restomod Part 89 - I started putting the driver's door back together. The two biggest anxieties I had about getting the door back together were the linkages on the door latch and the run channel molding. I address them both in this video and have some limited success.
First Energizing - Foxbody Restomod Part 88 - The last time this car had a battery in it and electrons flowing through the chassis harness, the iPod wasn't on the market yet. Well all that changed, and we have to get ready to start up an engine soon.
In this sponsored video, we check out the CGSULIT SC530 OBDII scanner. Huge thanks to CGSULIT for providing the scanner. It's got some great features and performs really well as a live data scanner. But watch the video for my full verdict.
