I have a 1958 Chevy Apache And whenever I'm pulling engine and transmission out. I learned a trick this put a Large Sandwich bag on end of transmission and ZipTie it tightly and it saves the big Red transmission fluid all over.. Especially when you have to crawl under it to get the transmission lines hooked up and Drive shaft connected. Saves on floor dry also.. Only I wish I could have that junk yard motor you have there.
There's something beautiful about the way that even though there is a difference of about 50 years in technology, that engine looks like it was made for that car!
It absolutely does. This car is being built in this version for the sole purpose of big crazy burnouts. I’m sure that Corey will do it correctly once we send this engine to meet god on 50% nitromethane.
It should make a fun video no matter the outcome for the engine. We’re pretty sure it’s going to meet god, and if it don’t, it won’t be from a lack of trying.
@@LooseFab this one burns 50% nitromethane, it should be outstanding. I also have a pinto with a turbo LS on my channel you should check out. It will probably give you some ideas for the close quarters that it’s going to be
That’s the way I’ve done all of my swaps to this point and have never had a problem. I’ve read on the internet that they should be behind the flex plate, but all the ones I’ve done that would’ve made the torque converter bottom out on the flex plate. Maybe doing it this way may not be right, but it works well for me.
@@bluecollarperformance1331 I guess if it works, it works. Like I said, rock auto shows pioneer fra450, the correct way. I was just wondering how it affects the starter engagement, since it will put the flexplate .400 closer to the engine, than it was designed to be.
@@funfun8095 starter engagement was why I put the first one on the back side of the flex plate. I was leary of moving it almost 1/2” away from the starter. Then when I checked the endplay on the converter, I realtor wouldn’t work if it was behind it.
@@bluecollarperformance1331 Ah, ok. I don't even use adapters or spacers. I weld a .400 spacer onto the snout of the converter and flat SFI flexplate. ;)
@@funfun8095 there are way better ways of doing it than these adapters for sure. This one is destined to be destroyed, so it’s not a high precision operation 😁
"Only the finest garbage" haaa...hilarious. you guys are awesome! Im stayin tuned !
Thank you, I’ll try to keep it entertaining.

That’s just a garden variety LM7 from the junkyard. We’re going to feed it 50% nitromethane until it sees god.
@@bluecollarperformance1331 We're gonna have to bump those up those are rookie numbers, at least 80%

It went in there without too much of a fight surprisingly
Can't wait to hear that thing run again on Nitro! Excellent Content!
Thank you sir.
We’re going to get it together pretty quick, we’re all excited about it as well
Imagine taking your LS swap car to the strip, when they ask about power adder, tell em nitromethane! Bring a good fire suit!😅
All motor 😁
Great content my friend! keep on keeping on!
Thank you. This car should be running real soon. We’re staying with it pretty seriously
@@bluecollarperformance1331 ill be on the look out for your videos! very welcome!
Light weight motor option. And its green.
Lol, I think the power to weight ratio is t great though
It ain't complete without the moon tank of nitro up front of the grille!
There’s no telling where this could go, Corey and myself are both a little bit not right in the head.
Really should have bought the right pan for it,that truck pan hangs way below crossmember,I already know

🦾🤘🇺🇲 thats going to be one bad ass junkyard swap you should come put one in my mustang 😂

i just started putting one in a datsun over on my channel, i cant wait to drive it!

That flexplate adapter is on the wrong side of the flexplate. Should be on engine side. You're not the only one I've seen do it wrong, though. SMH
