1973 Station Wagon - Engine Build

Açıklama:

This is my 1973 Mercury Montego station wagon that I got running and driving in a previous video. The 351 Cleveland engine was severely seized and although I got it unstuck, the cylinders had already suffered a lot of damage from corrosion. The engine may run, but it sounds a couple cylinders short of a V8. Knowing that it’d need extensive machine work to be fixed properly, I picked up a cheap 351 Windsor as a replacement. I expected to have the engine in the car and running by the end of the video, but after digging further into it, I decided to give it an at‑home rebuild first. Now, the engine, along with an AOD overdrive transmission, is ready to be installed into the Wagon in the next video. 00:00 - Bad engine 04:40 - Cheap 351 Windsor, will it run? 00:29:55 - Engine teardown 00:54:29 - Honing, measuring, cleaning 01:08:06 - Crankshaft polishing, measuring 01:12:10 - Rods/Mains measuring 01:15:10 - Camshaft/bearings installation 01:19:57 - Crankshaft installation 01:21:41 - Piston rings 01:32:08 - Installing pistons 01:35:03 - Timing chain, cover, pump, pan 01:42:21 - Mercruiser (free boat) cylinder heads 01:59:20 - Water pump, intake manifold detailing 02:02:43 - Painting 02:06:46 - Intake manifold installation 02:08:45 - Fuel pump, harmonic balancer, core plugs, rear main, etc. 02:14:58 - Priming the oiling system 02:16:42 - Valve covers, finishing the engine 02:18:00 - AOD transmission service 02:27:35 - Mating the engine/transmission 02:31:22 - Next time 02:32:08 - F250 stuff 02:36:29 - Cats
