What happens here

With the newly rebuilt and modified engine, it is carefully lowered into the car's engine bay using an engine hoist. Two people guide the engine into place, ensuring it aligns correctly with the transmission and mounting points. The unique aspect of this engine is its custom oil pan, which now features internal lines for piston oil squirters, a detail that was meticulously engineered and fabricated during the engine refresh. Once the engine is secured, a valve cover is installed, marking a significant step towards completion.

Goal: Install the refreshed engine into the car's engine bay.

  • Refreshed Engine Ford C3 NASCAR Engine — The primary component being installed

you always pressure check that's it all right you can go down more now the Pan's clear of the cow oh something's coming towards the left side of the car a little bit because you're really getting used to all fitting over there take this oil line loose over here to get it in when it's on the side halfway up the oil pan well if you remember from the engine dyno video Dennis the pro motor went on this big thing about how he made a thing to connect the Piston squirters to this oil pan that weren't being used before when we were getting ready to mock
