Engine Removal with a BACKHOE!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- Getting ready to stretch the front end, and do the 5.0l engine swap! Using my old JCB backhoe as an engine crane! The next process will be to get the front end frame work done, then the engine can come directly from a friend of my who built it and drop right in!
I did an engine swap in my Dad's 1978 Chevy P.U. with his 8-N tractor out on the lawn. Talk about herky-jerky! But it takes what it takes to get it done.
Yup! Use what you have, a little time and patience helps
The 4 "Ps" plan, patience, persistence, progress
Definitely showed good patients. It’s definitely getting closer every video. You definitely got the will and the want….. looking forward to your next video !!
Thanks a lot!
They certainly crammed tgat engine into the Jag , kudos for you to get it out in one piece like that. Atleast now you can really tackle this project 👍
Thanks! Yup really looking forward to the next steps!
That motor is heavy. I bent my engine crane. Good coffee table
It’s very heavy! Lots of accessories on it as well. I’m thinking swapping to a 5.0l Ford should shave a lot of weight!
It's here checking evey day lol 😆 keep it up exiting build not to many around unfortunately 😕
More to come!
That was painful! But might be one of the biggest upgrades this units getting.
I think so!
I worked on a car like that once, had to replace a rear inboard brake caliper and solder closed some pinholes in both gas tanks I remember the caliper was $300 witch seemed astronomical at the time
They were definitely advanced for their time. Definitely no thought given to the poor guy that had to work on it!
Been looking for updated video. Keep after it!
Will do!
Instead of cutting and stretching, wouldnt it be easier to add on to the front and move the front axle forward ? Perhaps cut the front off another jag in a breakers yard. I know the wings and bonnet will still need to be extended.
Good point, I will have to think that over!
Great update. Be interesting to see that engine again in an other project.
Yes definitely, open wheel roadster would be cool!
@@myclassicfords3658 Great work with the back hoe,. Looking forward to the stretching of the front end.
That engine is a BEAST, talk about shoe horned in 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
Love what you're doing to the car keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
The jaguars revenge...with some simplification the 5.3 v12 is a good engine, lots of hoses and unnecessary stuff in the way tho.
Definitely lots of stuff! Thanks for watching!
More pipes than an oil refinery!
Yes!
good job. gotta deal with what you have sometimes.
Absolutely!
A 300 CID inline 6 would be nice with triple carbs?
I have a 300 6 I have always wanted to do something creative with, but for this project I have a 302 for it.
Don’t give up.
What are you going with a Ford 302 5.0L in this bad boy. 🤗 awesome! 😉✌
Yup! Something light simple and fun! And of course a Ford product!
Forgot how big them old jag engines are
And the stuff around it!
@@myclassicfords3658 use to help a mate strip the engine out and get it ready to banger race or demolition Derby hated doing it lol
Is the wheel distance between staying the same I think it would look better wider
The car will end up being a wide body, should be about 4” wider each side!
@@myclassicfords3658 I'm sure it will look great hope the build goes well
All ways are good except the bad ones. Guess who's walking on clouds? scored big way in rare parts today Real RS competition real bumper to my car.... Yiehaaa!
Awesome! That’s exciting!
Yes l would good job
Time for some cutt’n.
Nice work check out bad Chad about the motor
Do you have current videos
Was that a V 12
Yes sir!
man if you think thats complex you should give up cars cause thats mechanical fuel injection mechanical bucket tappets and simple chain drive to the cams nothing flash or complex there buddy yes sure they are in there tight but that was the car
It’s actually an electronic fuel injection system. What I mean by complex, is for how simple an 80s 5.0 efi is this thing is terrible. That being said I’m sure the technology in 76 that was available, they likely did the best they could.
