Introducing the HO$$ 302.. We've spent the past month giving a destroyed Boss 302 a new lease on life! A full chassis swap, tons of mods and the cheesiest vinyl you've ever seen. We brought this Mustang all the way back to life, until we didn't...

    Let's talk about how much we appreciate the ad free videos!

    Lee said he has to swap over the entire electrical system…..I immediately think oh god, I’m praying for his sanity to stay intact ( hopefully it goes a lot smoother than the demon )
  • @Foxbodys4life
    Quick tip for you. If you hold the clutch in and put the gas pedal to the floor, the car goes into “clear flood mode”. This cuts the fuel system so you can turn it over without starting. It’s a good thing to use if you’re priming the motor as well. If you have an auto car you can mash the brake pedal and gas at the same time and it will do the same thing. Works on all ford vehicles at least since 2005ish from my experience. 20:54

    Always wanted to do this. With the insurance rates of a 6 cylinder car. That’s a BIG WIN LEE!

    The Hoss 302 lives on. It's a bummer, but you know it's all part of it. Hopefully not a cracked block, and just a rear main seal. Still awesome. Thanks Ray

    Just bought a new to me 2012 GT/CS off a good friend of mine two days ago for dirt cheap because the Coyote has a rod knock. Thanks to this video and the first one done on this car, I know roughly what to expect and what upgrades to do while the engine is out. Thanks, Lee!
  • I really enjoy this series because my mom had a boss and apparently loved driving it fast. She unfortunately passed when i was a very young kiddo but she lives on in my heart. Apparently she rolled her's 4 times 😆 I think she enjoyed it. One day man, one day imma get a boss to honor her.

    Honestly I’d love to watch a whole “Chrysler 300 swap” series Low key. I’d loved to see y’all’s run on a track!
  • @user-ec5mw2sx1y
    Amazed that you took 3 vehicles and made one bad ars Mustang! Stay with it and lets see it on the track!!

    Pray that everything is OK and it's something minor and easily fixed - Proud owner of a 2013 Boss..
  • @aynun1647
    The videos this man makes are so fast paced I thought I was almost at the end of it, and it was going to be multi part. Nope, I’m only 15 minutes in.
  • @alleybuilds5370
    100% its the rear main seal, bad backfire will cause this. When you lost that intake cap when it blew off was the same time the rear main seal blew out. i will put money on it.
  • @Reelandrelax
    I must say Fernando did a great job on that dash board, almost brand new
  • @SeenaVojdani
    As someone who loves the BOSS 302, it saddens me to see one in such a state
  • @willecutlip
    Great post! Agree that Ford actually did an outstanding job running the wiring harnesses! Hope the leak is just a rear main seal.
  • @gd1996
    One thing I'd do is a hood release/catch just in case that hood pin things aren't latched.

    Tim is going to hit it with his trusty mallet! This channel is essentially Saturday morning cartoons when I was a kid. The cars are the roadrunner and all of the people are the Coyote! Elmer Fudd: "Be very, very quiet, I'm hunting rwabits" (cars)!
