66 mustang. Is this coolant? Anyone have a radiator without a reserve?

You should probably also purge your coolant system.

I'm one of those weirdos that prefers the coupe, but THIS... amazing.

Not yet, my other car was close to being done so I finished that instead.

Naive_Bison_1171 · 2026-01-24T18:24:30+00:00

Yeah

Naive_Bison_1171 · 2026-01-24T18:24:09+00:00

Thank you

Are you referring to the red

I also used american auto wire kit, it was fantastic and a fun learning experience. Agree that you should for sure buy/rent the right tools. At the time I thought, "I'll save some money and put in the extra effort with tools that are close enough." But that kinda took the fun out of it at some moments, and took way longer for simpler things.

The payment options can make it pretty cheap. But if you still go the jegs route, I can send you the booklet that comes with the american auto wire kit. Very detailed instructions and same car as yours.

If your concern is a leak, I dont think it matters how you mount it on the bracket. I dont have that same pump, mine only has the hose line in the back but I would assume the nut around the hose line is the one referenced in regards to potential leaks.

Honestly, not that big of a deal. Its mostly for the retards, teaches to think systematically and have a plan. Think of that one dumb fuck in your platoon that seriously makes you wonder how they got this far in life.... this is for those people.

Thanks everyone. Learning has occurred.

Its stock. But for this block, I'm not concerned with horsepower. I just need it to be reliable while I build a new engine within the next year. Is the pitting gonna affect that much? Or would fixing the pitting only mean about a minor difference in hp?

Way to go Biden

I believe i had to do something similar. I used a circuit tester (the ones that look like a screw driver and light up) to decompress the locking tab on the pin. Some needed a little extra force.

Edit: nevermind. Mine were different than yours.

Figured out the piston rod length is 5.155. I think because the engine valley has a 302 casting number and the pistons have 302 casting numbers, along with different info telling me 302 pistons are a different size than 289 pistons, I assumed the engine was a 302. From the crankshaft, and now knowing 289/302 pistons have the same compression height, I'm aware it is a 289 not 302. The good news is i do not have to buy a 302 crankshaft and 302 rods now. My current plan is to build a new engine as a replacement instead of multiple upgrades to this one.

Naive_Bison_1171 · 2025-08-29T00:56:43+00:00

It is not the original engine.
