Want to see a particular engine torn down? I may have already done one! I've made over 50 other teardowns from Cummins to an LS7, and from Rotary to Ram Ecodiesels. Check them out here    • Blown Up Engine Tear Downs! A collect...  
My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart located in the Saint Louis MO area. Part of our model is dismantling and selling parts from rare and niche market engines. If you're interested in buying this engine or parts from the other engines I've torn down, email us at [email protected].

In this video I tear down a Small block ford 302. This is 5.0L V8 from a 1994-1995 Mustang GT. This engine is from a car with a broken odometer at 81000 miles, and I could not hear it run. The car had a rodent problem and none of the wiring was intact in the engine bay. We pulled the engine and it failed a leak down test. I take this engine complete down and discover a completely unrelated issue, as well as signs this engine sat for some time. As odd as it sounds, this is the VERY first small block Ford I've torn down! Most of the 5.0's we get in run great and we sell them complete.

As always, I love all of the feedback, comments and even the criticism.
Catch you on the next one!
-Eric
