Cut up Corvette - 1950 Chevy Coupe swap
My dad aquired an abandoned C4 Kart project that will be the donor for his '50 Chevy Coupe street rod. Running and driving 76k mile example of a 93 with an LT1 and 4L60. It won't be any HP monster but the goal here is a reliable driver that is comfortable and safe. The current condition of the 50 is basket case bad in reliabily, saftey, and sususpension among other problems.

Tremec 3650 - How to check syncros and other tips
Everybody wants everything all done at the exact same time.😮😅
This setup for VATS has a resistor in the key, and this fails a lot, then the reader can’t read the key’s resistor, measure the keys resistance, and splice into the wires coming from the column (usually in an orange sleeve) with a resistor of the same value. Folks sell bypass kits with various resistor sizes just for this purpose, super easy and cheap
Start with VATS delete. You can take the ECU to a tuner to have it done or buy a HPtuner for a few hundred bucks and do it yourself, which in your case might be the smart thing to do. Looks like you will have alot of tuning to do. Tuning gets pretty technical, but fairly easy to do things like remove VATS, delete EGR and the easy stuff like that, and plenty of info online to learn. That would be a good place to start.
@@chrismarr2663 with the research I've been doing the last week or so it seems the best option for this is get a 94/95 computer and brand new harness. Just have the emissions and vats deleted. That way the stock tune is intact and I can run a brand new stand alone wiring harness. Skip all the 30+ year old stuff
MY 41 CHEVY P.UP IS ON A 90 VETTE FRAME ITS STILL A BASKET CASE RIGHT NOW M/S HAS KICKED MY ARSE SINCE 01 MAYBE ONE OF OUR SONS WILL DO SOMETHING WITH IT ONE DAY WHO KNOWS ? 🤔
@@GMCTIM this one will be a little different approach. The Vette frame is way too different and too short for the Coupe so only swapping parts of it. Currently been going a little crazy trying to figure out how to best get the EFI operational in the swap but there's a lot specific parts needed from an aftermarket standpoint to get a working setup. Luckily it has the 700R4 transmission for a little less money than an aftermarket efi i can get a brand new wiring harness and factory ECU. Which to me it the better option because the factory tune is going to be way better for a cruiser than most aftermarket systems are capable of. We're after a non basket case situation
Maybe rodents got into the wiring. Crank sensor??
@@amrikjaswal76 I wouldn't think so. The Cat is on top of rodent control. The way that its just nothing at this point says it pretty much has to be the VATS because anything that needs a signal from the ECU isn't working but it has power
So what you’re saying is the Chevy coupe is all show and no go!! Good Luck!
@@mikeconnelly7032 except it barely goes at all
Your giving me more ideas. Damnit😁. I've had an 87 C4 in my back yard for over 12 years. I recall having a problem with the VAT key and ignition switch. There is a set of contacts in the switch that reads the resistor on your key. I found a chart online that has the resistances. Then I got a resistor and just jumped it out at the column under the dash. Long time ago. This is the best I can remember. Good luck.
@@markwilhelm168 I found similar information but it seems for doing a swap like this it's best to get rid of VATS completely which involves a chip in ECU
Hey Cody, I posted a comment under your afx spindle video, wouldn’t mind asking you a couple questions if you have time
Hey Cody, my name is Dustin, I came across this video yesterday and doing a frame off Gbody. Anyway, I’m actually a machinist and actually machine these spindles for the company you got them from. Anyway wouldn’t mind picking your brain about them if you have time and don’t mind.
@@dustinjohnson5163 Yeah, send me an email cjrifraf82@gmail
I’ve always mounted my Fram filter towards thr right on the rear crossmember bar that your right leans on during the video. This would keep it away from the tires
There is going to be ehxaust and suspension parts all around that area and I'm trying to keep the fuel as far away from any heat as possible. As far as the tire goes there will be wheel tubs that seal off the whole tire area so the filter won't be exposed to rocks and things getting flung up anyway.
@ that’s a good plan. I had no issues when I did on my oval track late model (g body/metric frame type platform). I ran 250 laps a few times too. I’m just concerned if you lose a tire and it rips the canister off. Maybe, put the filter before the pump on rear crossmember that connects the frame rails(not on your car yet) I’m just trying to help out!!
@mikeconnelly7032 yeah, I get it. I'm planning ahead as much as I can and a big difference will be the aero this car will get. I'm concerned about heat build up under the car. If things go to plan ill be getting a near complete seal of the floor so there won't be much if any airflow around the exhaust system. Going outside the frame behind the tire puts it in a place where there shouldn't be any heat (exhaust will exit ahead of the tire). Moving it back would work too but I'm also thinking about the weight of any extra line that's not necessary
I'm so tired of automatics.....the power it robs to operate them, and the money it costs to fix them. I could really get into adapter plates that would allow the change and use of a standard transmission for whatever vehicle one wants to build
@@rogereastman3187 that's the point I'm trying to make here. Any swap can be done if you have the parts and take the time to figure it out. Some stuff might not fit with a thin adapter plate but if you're willing to make it work there is always a way by spacing them farther apart until it does work
What is this wonderful transmission you had to have, that caused all this work it took to mount it ????
@@rogereastman3187 having a functional 5 speed swap for less than $1300 when the bolt on option was over $6000
Sure.....but what exactly is this wonderful transmission....who makes it....... Seems to me one would go through all that work to mount a Allison

Cool! I can mate a C4 to a Godzilla.
I am really enjoying this build. I'm taking notes.
@@markwilhelm168 its a fun build
i gotta say it you will not regret putting a rubber gearbox mount on the gearbox crossmember , its not likely that your chassis will have zero flex . not impossible just not likely
@norego6237 Initially I wanted to argue that point but the cross members are not nearly as heavy as the side rails. Of course he is not done and depending on how strong the cage is on top, it could end up with no flex to be worried about.

Any transmission to any engine huh.. Okay. Hyundai excel 5 speed to a big block caddy. Should be easy.
Hmmm I wonder how my 1970 454 would run with a 10 speed Ford transmission behind it, it's got 600 hp now and with a 373 rearend I wonder in a 1971 Camaro what top end would be ?
@@randalwarkentin6460 that's not a far off option...i forget who, but a company is supposed to coming out with a 10 speed controller this month. Top speed probably won't change much. Most of the gears are acceleration gears not overdrives

Did a diesel ford courier to Toyota 4x4 years ago, newest is a Mercedes 5cyl turbo diesel to a Dana 3 spd trans-transfer case in early cj6. Did same as you, but problem was clutch disc splinecount for disc which would fit pressure plate of Mercedes. Had customer disc made and release bearing was a hydraulic universal with a spacer over orig Dana front bearing cover to get proper distance to p/plate. Made pilot bearing from oilite bronze and all works as planned. Lots of head scratching but it’s not just trans plate to consider, that’s the easy part, the clutch can be the issue. This one was real odd, and domestic US will be much easier than my oddball combo. Just look at all parts needed and good luck
@@willisdaddy6100 i had all the same stuff first go round. I had drilled an engine flywheel for the transmission's clutch. Second time I changed the transmission input shaft to match the engine as it was an available upgrade.
Sweet.
Ok so i want to see you connect an honda 4cycl trans to D9 dozen. You said any.. how about a 6v ford. To wire transmission from WWII 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@stevenpellegrino997 you do realize that yes you can hook anything to anything...the C5/C6/C7 corvettes all have the engine in front and the transmission in the rear. Move them far enough apart and anything is possible
thanks now I got it
goog video but I dident understand the starter distance and the clutch release bearing travel
@@alvarobernal3845 starter mounts to the block so nothing changes there...i just clearance the transmission bell so it fits. Clutch release bearing height can be adjusted with an adjustable pivot for the fork. If hydraulic there's still adjustments that can be made to work out the height
Very clever thank you very much for your short RUclips video. Do you have any thoughts on an adapter plate for 350 GMC motor to build up to the transmission and transfer case of the Range Rover having the aluminum V8 4.6 L engine ? This original Rover engine Tooling and Patent purchased from GM in the 60’s, 70’s, or 80s. Allowed Range Rover to use the GM design in an Aluminum Block which they developed into a 4.6 L V8 engine. I would be very interested in trying this adaption to add a GMC V8 to the original Range Rover P38 if I could find the blueprints of the Rover Bell housing. Many thanks.
@@Pdfflyer1 that Rover v8 design is actually the Buick aluminum v8 from the early 60's design. Rover only updated a few things over the years until they ended production. There's a chance it's a common gm pattern for the bell housing but it's been years since i worked on one of those
Was having overheating issues on my t/a with sbc 350. Sitting in traffic on 80 degrees days was awful. Got a new fuel filter, new holley electric fuel pump, adjust fuel pressure regulator and a champion radiator. Never had an issue again. Can sit in traffic for 10 mins on a 90 deg. Day now. Also have stuck with mechanical fan need to make a custom shroud still.
@@bobhemphut4011 running right makes all the difference
That's an entire transmission!
I found a cheap thin one on temu. Im just afraid it will have too much flex
KUDOS for starting from scratch for something that possibly can be purchased from MANY Adapter manufactures, BTW, you can lay out the shape, measurements & have someone put that design into a CAD file, then it can be burned/cut by a laser & be perfect, & probably save much time
@@REVNUMANEWBERN i originally did this swap for less than $1300 when all the stuff to buy would have been over $6k

Nice work, good explanations on how to do process. 👍 Just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing. 👍🇺🇸👍
@@edsmachine93 thanks
another quick way to make the adaptor is use 1/2 inch polycarbonate drill your locator hole then drill what holes you can then seperate block and transmission place the poly on the block mark and drill those then flip the poly and place on transmission then drill the rest of the holes and dowel holes easy as the poly is see through look where the holes are and mark and drill then you have a perfect template to transfer to steel plate or aluminium cheers from down under
Make a video mate haha
I'm interested in the steel & aluminum sandwich... do you anticipate any corrosion between them?
@@Iowa599 possibly over a very long time but I'm not worried about it. Been running a steel adapter vs the aluminum transmission in my other car for 6 years now with no corrosion between them. Not like it's getting pounded with winter road salt either.
The most important part of doing this. is having the input shaft line up exactly. with the pilot bushing/bearing in the rear of the crankshaft.

@@Springfield-eo8jl there is probably another Toyota trans from a car that would bolt up. But what you really might be looking for is a better shifter. A good shifter with positive gear engagement feel, no slop, and a shorter throw do a lot to improve the experience of shifting gears
@codysmithmotorsports736 a short throw shifter is one of his Xmas presents. Looking for later down the road.
@Springfield-eo8jl you might be pretty impressed change a shifter does. Everyone says BMW M3 is a wonderful driving machine... I drove an E46 and thought the shifter was hot garbage compared to the shifter on my car
@codysmithmotorsports736 we're going to give it a go, not sure how long the transmission is going to last. Shifting from 2nd to 3rd it grinds, the shift stick has a big vibration in 3rd and 5th gear. It's popped out of 3rd a couple times.
@Springfield-eo8jl sounds like it needs syncros and to make sure nothing is bent or loose with the shift forks/mechanics internally. If you don't mind taking things apart transmissions are pretty easy and only need a couple tools and a press to rebuild
Thank you
