    I would like to add this comment. Lots of people say get the right engine and do it like this do it that way do it this way but what you don’t understand is bad Chad has to come up with fresh content every single day of the year. If he just does things vanilla way, I really don’t think he would have nowhere near as many subscriptions as he does with bad Chad it’s all about doing it away with what you got and what is in your door yard. His content is always so exciting and so fresh and if he just started putting in motors that fit right in, it would get so boring, bad Chad having said that keep doing what you’re doing because that’s what bring me and a whole lot of us back every day. Best RUclips channel on the Internet. ❤🤛🏼⚡️💫🍻✌🏼😎🥇🥇🥇🥇

    1 suggestion. Put the trans back on the engine and look to see if the end of the tail shaft is centered on the engine front to back. Next measure from the end of the tail shaft to each engine mount and see if they are the same. 3rd, put a square on your engine mount adapter gauge at the center and see if it goes straight down the center of the tunnel.

    I'm for sure keeping Nova Scotians and particularly the firefighters in my prayers. Bush and forest fires are treacherous, not only can they change directions quickly, they can generate their own wind storms. Fire brands can be blown up to a kilometer before coming down and starting another front to battle. I like the way you thought out the motor mount issue, yet another great idea for me to file under 'useful'. Jolene is a quiet helping hand, keeping track of stuff and flipping on the welder and what not. She's a good 'ground' for Chad. I'll be watching tomorrow.

    Hello Chad and Joline…I have been following your channel for a while now,and this is my first post. I want to comment on two things I’ve noticed of late. #1..do not put people on blast, even if they have wronged you because it sends a message to others to not do business with you. #2..stop apologizing for who you are because we all are not perfect. There are haters out there that would like to see you fail..don’t fall into their trap my friend, stop mentioning them so often because you are giving them space in your head. joline, look out for Chad by not letting him give into temptation!

    • @gaspo69
      @gaspo69 Год назад +3

      And then's there's the issue of if the mounts on the engine are slotted and there's no way now to know where the mounts on the frame were relative to the mounts on the engine, then either you go with the apparatus you made as the control or you go off of the level with no way of knowing about whether or not the garage floor, the tires and the frame are level.

  • @jefflundquist5771
    @jefflundquist5771 Год назад +7

    As you mentioned, I don't think the factory welded in the stock crossmember exactly perpendicular to the frame. Once you box in the new mounts, the slight difference on where the new motor mount plate sits won't be that noticeable.

    • @chrismo9848
      @chrismo9848 Год назад +1

      actually .... there's no guarantee that the engine was perfectly squared with the frame when you sat it in there which is why your "line" on the passenger side was slightly forward. Level the frame side to side, then level the jig side to side and then measure the same distance from the front of the engine mount tubes to a "squared" crossmember further forward and then you know your engine is perfectly inline with the vehicle centerline

  • @russellmatheny8677
    @russellmatheny8677 Год назад +1

    My advise as I'm watching Chad try to line up the motor mounts. Do not use a level as the car frame it's self is not level. Lay a piece of square stock across the top of the frame above the location of the mounts. Measure down to establish the same height of each mount while using the square stock with the welded bolts to keep a true read on spacing from each other. I wish I was there to explain it. Thanks for the videos.

  • @stevenm3141
    @stevenm3141 Год назад +4

    Typically motor mounts are made with a certain amount of adjustability. Usually there is a rubber bushing and slots in metal to afford a good fit for the engine. Slop fit is what it's called by some old schools. The main factor is to get the engine in a good spot not touching anything.

    I would loosen the bolts that hold the motor mounts on the engine. Or make sure that the premade crossmember fits on the motor mounts the way the motor mounts are bolted onto the engine right now. I’m pretty sure that’s your problem. That’s a great idea welding the bolts together as a jig, however you have to make sure the motor mounts are lined up to fit the premade crossmember that you used for your pattern.

  • @1harleyvette
    @1harleyvette Год назад

    The best way to do engine mounts is the way you did it the first time . Since there is slots in the engine mounts you do all of your adjustments on the rubber mounts adjustments , set the engine in place and weld it in . I wouldn't worry about very little clearance on the headers because most of the time you will have to dent the headers in some places to get the proper clearances. Do what it takes to get the engine properly positioned. 90 % of the time it will not fit properly if not fitted with the engine in place.

    With the mounting jig in place, measure from each tube, forward to the radiator support panel, and rearwards to common points. This will tell you if the mounts are square, or not. Great job so far. Keep it up.

  • @rickhettwer854
    @rickhettwer854 Год назад +1

    When you made the jig for the mounting bolt locations, did you stick them in the cross member from the correct side? like one side is facing "front" other side is facing "rear" That will make a huge difference rather they fit or not. Actually the only way to get it right, you must have the engine and trans sitting in place, (using the correct size bolts) and the trans tail shaft centered in the tunnel area. (rear mount) then weld everything in. Then take the engine out again to pretty up all your mounts.

    Chad is one hell of a fabricator and i love to watch him work but when he starts to go off with nonsense about Jolene I really want to leave we all know she’s beautiful and that he’s lucky to be in the same room with her but I tune in to watch him do his thing.

    That new mount looks like it might interfere with the suspension arm below it. Please check it before you put the engine back in. Loving this build!

    You may have to modify hood scoop for a little more carb clearance, just guessing.
