2014 Mustang Convertible
Me and my dad finally found the time to hook up the engine harness and pull the engine. With the help of a neighbor, it took us about 1 hour considering the past few weeks we have been disconnecting hoses, motor mounts and etc that must be done to pull the engine. It's just a little 302 2v that we will be cleaning up and dropping back in but we plan to install a new timing chain, paint the engine, degrease it and out new grease on. Engine is very clean... Only 86,000 original miles. I'm only 15 years old and me and my dad are taking on this project as we love mustangs (owned three) and are huge FMC fans ourselves. We are taking this project slowly and are both learning in the process. First time my neighbor, my dad, and I have ever pulled an engine and it went all too well. At first the transmission was catching onto something and we finally cleared the issue. It came out very smoothly. I will post some pictures of the motor itself and engine bay. Sorry this may be one huge run on nonsense paragraph I am just thinking of what to include as it comes to mind. I would love any recommendations on what we should/shouldn't do as regards to the engine. We plan to leave the car completely original as that is how we bought it. We just need to make the necessary changes and improvements to make it road worthy. Only engine modifications may be Tri-Y headers and a totally new exhaust system (dual exhaust/flowmasters). Anything anyone recommends?
Motor Is sitting nicely on the cross members of the motor stand. Hint the box of the new nasa hood we ordered.
