454 Engine Swap: Harmonic Balancer Install/Pinning and Engine Accessories (78 Firebird Ep.31)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- It is time to get back to working on the setup of the engine itself, and this episode is covering the selection and install of the engine accessories. Specifically, we'll install the balancer/crank pulley, water pump, alternator, and power steering pump and get the pulleys into alignment. This took a lot of fiddling to get just right so we will try to cover everything we can all at once and move onto other problems that need solving next time.

This episode started as two but I wasn't happy with the pace so a bunch got cut out and re-edited, which is why it took an extra week to come out. This should more or less be the template for the next few episodes, there is a lot of back and fourth and test fitting that is difficult to get through without being repetitive, but the process is important too. I think there are four episodes until the engine gets to go into the car, but there is still a ton after that before we get to hear it run. I feel a little in over my head with this video series, but we'll get through it. Thanks for sticking around, it really means a lot!
You're doing a great job! Keep it up!
Love your videos even know I've built engines there still are very easy to stay interested keep up the great work
wow, dustless. looking smooth
It can definitely be overwhelming at first, but it looks like you've got it covered. That being said, if there's anything I see that can help, I'll definitely make suggestions and offer recommendations based on my knowledge and experience.
When you're in over your head is when magic begins to happen.
It's rare to find someone film in such detail while working on one of these older cars, nice work!
Man, I really like your creativity with home machining methods. Can't wait to see what you can do with a mini lathe.
Fuzzy dice projects I really enjoy your detailed approach to documenting the builds that you are doing. Your videos are far more interesting than the television format of introducing a new build and 5 minutes later it's done and doing burnouts and other antics. Keep up the good work and don't change a thing.
Agree 100%!
Your proficiency with making brackets will never fail to amaze me. Awesome work!
The ding in the pulley is just payback for the cut on your thumb.
Can´t say how much i love your videos man! Your creativity with everything is just amazing and the style of the videos and narration aswell. And the bloopers at the end just makes its all perfect ! :D Keep up the good work!
Dude! Love your stuff, keep it up!
I love your channel so much. I discovered it in mid November. The depth and detail you go through is amazing. I love this build series so much.
If you run the aluminum cutting disc in a bar of soap (choose your smelling preference), the aluminum will stick even less to the disc. Or if you are using a non aluminum disc.
Your videos want me to buy an old American car. Non US subscriber by the way.
See the meticulous work you put into anything and everything you do on this channel has made me want to watch you even more, came from the original blazer videos and haven't missed a single video since then.
Me too! I was cruising YT back when I was getting ready to rebuild my first engine. Even though others might've gone deeper into the build, especially when I started to get discouraged because of all the specialty tools and huge workshops, FDP made it feel like it was possible, even in my garage. I did end up buying a few tools for it, but not many, and now my big SUV runs like a champ.
@@jacobosgood3513 with his transmission rebuild videos it made me feel like I could rebuild my 4l60 if I ever needed to
@@geopou4618 Thought about it when I had my engine out, but a 5r55s is a seriously problem prone transmission, and I wanted a warranty on the work. Major tranny work still scares me.
@Jacob Osgood I'm a novice when it comes to transmissions, but for me if I ever had to rebuild myself the thing that scares me most is the quality of the rebuild kits. There are some "high quality" kits that are total junk.
Simply perfect, love the fab work nothing fancy but really inspiring, I feel like with a few simple tools, some hard work and patience most mechanically minded people could achieve similar results which is not something I could say watching most mechanics!
I love all the attention to detail, commentary and all the work that goes into these videos.. I only wish they didn't take so long to come out.
Consider getting a metal lathe. Many of the challenges you have would be pretty trivial to overcome if you had one
Love watching because of your editing and filming techniques and the meticulous engine work!
i love all your videos, thank you for all this entertainment!
I know cosmetics is not a staple of this channel but the color of the block and heads is top notch!
I genuinely appreciate all your hard work on your content
Love the content, man! Looking for the next one !
I am waiting for each next episode as impatiently as for the money on my bank account at the end of every month- except in case of FDP it's at least worth waiting LOL
Thank you for your excellent work!
I always look forward to your new videos 🎉🎉
I watch your videos *religiously*!
I really do enjoy watching this project. Thanks so much for documenting it!
It's always a good feeling when you start bolting up the accessories.
This is a very jerry rigged motor
I have not been this early in awhile
Man you have a lot of aluminum
You may want to keep a careful eye on your water pump bolt torque in the future. The way the factory power steering pump mounting works doesn't apply load directly to the water pump mounting bolts. You've created a slip plane between those bolt heads and the bracket that the power steering pump is going to be constantly cycling against and _might_ become a bolt-loosening machine.
It _might_ also work just fine. 🤷♂😆
Yeah! New episode!
We're finding your videos very entertaining and informative at my house. Thanks for what you provide.
Good work! A "brush holding paperclip"? Who knew! :O) 60 points awarded. Thank you for the video.. You RoCk
Recently discovered your channel! Fuzzy dice did it. I still hang dice from my review mirror. Great episode. I'll be following.
Awesome man👍
Awesome job as always!! I always love seeing your videos come out cause they are always so good!
Epic patience...........there is a lot of behind the scenes work to chase all those fasteners.........different sizes,threads,lengths........
You mention that blazer v8 swap.
That’s when I started watching and begun a career in a shop.
Quite some time now. Keep it up. Almost feels like we’re growing up together.
I spy some Husky sockets.
Personal favourite of mine. Plenty of good choices out there, but love the feel of them, and price/quality is great.
Plus, a true, no questions asked, warranty.
Great series!
As much as I love Fuzzy Dice, it still makes me cringe a little when they’re using measurements like twentyfive of a sixtyfourth of an inch.. I mean sure I like fractions as much as the next guy but come on. PS. I still love you guys.
That's a great job, Mr.! Congrats and thank's for share knowledge! 🙏🙏👏👏👏👏
There are very few channels I watch every minute of a video, yours is one of them. I been doing garage mechanic stuff for 30 years and I still learn new things in your videos. BTW, you need a lathe. Instead of a hole saw, Dremel bits and drill bits you could have put that spacer in a chuck and just honed out the inside :)
Superchargers are super cool.........especially as a kid watching the road chase scenes in "mad max"
Grade 8 bolts and hardware always! Lol, great video, almost to the first start up! You should do a livestream of it being started up and running. (Just thinking out loud a bit I’m sure it’s been started up by now already but just for the sake of the live stream 😊)
Looks great but id have painted the block chevy orange and matte black everything else.
Your doing great man. Your a huge inspiration. Your videos where a huge inspiration for be becoming a macanic. I'm starting to get into the sector and I enjoy it greatly, thank you for your amazing videos.
3:52 Instead of bar clamps, A better way is machinist toe clamps because you have slots for them on the drill press. A whole set is fairly cheap. A simple slotted vise can also be fairly cheap. CAD = cardboard adjustment device
These video series are great. Reminds me of waking up with my dad watching the shows on speed channel. Think it was called trucks and idk the other but they would do build series... good times
I would think that gasket mating surfaces should be free from paint before assembly. Paint can fail and then develop a leak behind the gasket.
I cant wait to hear this beauty fire to life. Even a 454 with crappy compression and a blower can push out 500 horse. This things gonna scream.
Video looks super awesome in 1440p. Cant wait to see the finished build its gonna be scikkkkk.
would have been better to clean and reuse the origianal power steering pump. that choice may haunt you. next time avoid that company unless your stranded on the highway 60 miles from nowhere and would have to order one from a real remanufacturer and wait.
Fuzzy dice projects is my favorite automotive youtube channel
Very nice Job. I like your Videos so much.
Greetings from good old Germany.
this was a very methodical assembly, i always end up watching the episode in its entirety as its very riveting.....
Wonder how long that text animation on the oil cap took. Worth it tho looks great
Haha, yeah way too long to figure out how to do that and get it aligned/sized right
@@FuzzyDiceProjects I can imagine lol!
I really enjoy this series, it's a nice thing to watch when i'm hungover on sundays.
Will we ever see the pinto again?
Another great video, one day I might try the bigger superchargers, I like my little 144’s
That cast gray paint looks awesome and nice for a change. I’ll have to look on the description and see if you say what brand paint it is.
Good job
Your creative solutions are awesome, I'm excited to see the finished product!
Excited to see where this build leads, its literarlly a new engine
Won't that slight amount of drillbit pin unbalance the flywheel?
I see your torque wrench addiction is back in full force.
Your friends need to arrange an intervention 😂
Rotozip: seems like a great idea until you use one. Weaker than a router but worse to use than a Dremel. The tool in my arsenal I enjoy using the least.
Caddy 4100 power steering pully( look’s like a bell)
Can't wait to see it in the car finally! Good work 👍
Could use a p/s pully puller to back the pully slightly off the shaft for alignment
wow 21 minutes just flies by, awesome job and thanks for the content
That's called a 'German torque spec', IE: Guttentight!
you missed the top right bolt on the water pump you torqued the bottom right twice but not the top right. Just thought you aught to know
i feel like send cut send would have helped with the making of the brackets.
how long does it take you to edit all of this stuff before you post it since I noticed a lot of the time stamps in this episode are from 2020
Dude I would love to see what you could do if you had a shop with real tools to work with,, ya done good !!
i swear every time one of these comes out my heart skips a beat when it pops up on my feed
god i just cant get enough of these
Always excited to see a new episode from Fuzzy Dice
Ahh the ultimate ASMR for people who don't get ASMR...
always love watching these. thank you so much, man!
It just looks like Icandy I can’t help it I want more
Really like your DIY attitude and problem solving skills, along with some pretty high quality fab considering your tools available
I really enjoy the attention to detail on your videos. Good stuff.
Good one, FD! Thanks for doing these, reminds me of days gone by! 😊
Here is my comment to appease the RUclips algorithm.
@1:50 did You remember to torque the top left bolt as well? :)
Hey, whatever happened to the 91 Firebird?
I just want to say that i enjoy your videos very much!
You would benefit greatly from a lathe and mill
Torqued the bottom left water pump bolt twice and not the top left
A circle key can be stronger than a square keyway.
Clean!
Except for the blood...
@16:30 "All my CAD skills..." Love it, LOL.
Seeing the dates in the video makes me wonder how it runs?
Love your "CAD" skills at 16:30 😁
You have some of the best videos on RUclips, love this
Perfect - and another step closer! :D
i cannot wait to hear that firebird screaming
Cant wait to see when its done im predicting 500 hp
I love waking up to your new videos
Magnifico como siempre …🙇🏻♂️
Awesome job get that beast run the bird
