1936 Ford T-5 Conversion - Part 1: Transmission Crossmember
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Prepping the 36 frame for a Flathead and T-5 transmission combo. First by pulling off the old driveshaft and ripping out part of the old frame to make room for the T-5. Then dropping in the Flathead/T-5 before cutting out a new crossmember adapted from a TH-350 transmission. Finally, modifying the old radius rods so they can attach to the new transmission crossmember.
For those of us in socal and phx we feel that cold af at 55 degrees 😂

Best education on the internet. I get a major in car building, with a minor In Spanish. Keep up the excellent videos.
That center brace was certainly built Ford Tough. Dang!
Hilliardton, Ontario, Canada -45 degrees 2 days ago... love your work!!!
Freezing @ 55 homie? 😆. In Texas that's beautiful weather. Glad you put out a new video bro. I've been binge watching.
Who is the guy doing all the work there
Where is this shop located?
@@ArthurBenton-x7nMike Bello. Bellos customs. California
Get to work and warm them hands up !!! Lol!! That's what I do!!! Great work!!
Love hearing the oldies playing! Reminds me of the old KRTH 101 when they played the good stuff. Worked summers in my Dad's shop listening to oldies and working on cars. I liked his Costa Mesa shop better than the Irvine shop, too hot out there.
Retired early last year, moving to Nebraska and am going to build some cars!!
YOUR THE KING OF OLD SCHOOL MIKE !!!NOBODY COULD COMPARE TO YOUR TALENT!! KEEP ROLLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are an inspiration. I just so happen to have a 37 frame, that I might do the same on. No SBC.. a Flathead? Now that is Old Skool
Cool video man love your shop 👍🏼take it easy mate 👍🏼🍺🇳🇿😎
Love watching you two guys working together funny as f#ck and know what the f is up keep up the fun enjoying the show.
Who called the cold out, who called the rain out? This Southern Cali 🌞 Bro. I liked the start and don't stop until you are done but enjoying what you are doing.... 👍😎
Awesome work as always mike, I met your old snap-on guy couple weeks ago, He tripped out seeing a bello's kustom hat in the Inland empire
This absolutely great I have hoped you would do a new video thank you ! Nice to hear your laughter again ! Mike its -7 here in Calgary and snowing !
Thanks for watching but I definitely don't want to be in Calgary 😂. I love Cali but its still cold here to us
I feel you man... its 55° here now in FL and i turned on the heater!
You're a metal working genius. I've never seen metal work at the level you can accomplish.
It would be cool to have a video once a week with update of the build. 🏴
Old skool cool love your work , was raised in so cal your style is timeless . You show with hard work you can make a beautiful car and mix time period correct and modern suspension and make a totaly driveable classic kustom . please keep the videos coming my friend.
Thank you we will do that 👊🏾
Perfect timing. I'm researching putting a t5 in my '49 Ford
Hey Christopher, what engine.. the other question is how much hp/torque do you think you have.. Something to always remember is this.. when you build a manual transmission always build it to handle 100 to 150hp/ft lbs of torque more than what you actually have..It will save you a lot of headaches and problems in the future. It will also last longer...
It's the 8ba in my club coupe so I'm not concerned about putting too much power into the trans. So far I found, by some crazy random chance, the one year t5 that's a world class with the old s10 mounting pattern and the 3" steel Mercury bellhousing and starter plate. I'm getting the Speedway adapter kit and I'm thinking I have a 9" flywheel/clutch, so I have a clutch disc and pressure plate in my Speedway cart but I'm gonna try and find a cheaper place to buy those. I found an oilite bushing on Summit with the exact inner diameter for the t5 but it needs to be turned down to fit the flathead flywheel. I'm also going with an s10 rear and driveshaft (hopefully I can find a 2-piece shaft).
@@ninja63639 OK.. if you're interested, try using the 2piece drive shaft setup from a 73-82 Chevy 4wd because they are more durable and also a lot easier to source.. yes you can use the 2pc shaft setup from an S10 but keep in mind that in order for it to work properly you need to use the 4wd automatic setup.. only reason is the drive shaft for the manual version w 4wd is just really weak.. the only thing that you are probably gonna need to change is the tail shaft yoke... But honestly I would consider looking for a 73-82 Chevy 4wd setup.. It will make things easier and stronger.. also consider the Astro van AWD 2pc setup
@@joshbuxton2783
Thanks man I'll definitely look into that driveshaft. I cool using a 1 piece shaft but if I can cut less of the rear seat bottom that would be good for sure
@@ninja63639 Brother I completely understand.. When we take on these projects the number one thing that we always keep saying to ourselves and our buddies and friends and other people is Quality.. don't ever steer away from that.. The one thing that you never hear in any conversation is Safety and Drivability.. always keep those things in the back of your mind and apply them where they need to be..
To be humble in life you need to find humbleness..
God bless you and your family, good luck and best wishes on your project

Love your video's...amazing work....would like to know what brand are those magnetic flashlites you use when doing your work. They seem very hardie and the magnet base holds the lite exactly where you put it....Thanks !! C.J. Arizona
Stackin dimes !
55° and raining in San Dkego!?!? The world is coming to an end. Mike, get a side handle on that drill! I lnow a guy with permanent damage from just a wimpy little drill. Don't pretend to not know how or not be able 5o afford a new one! Btw, thats a vintage trash can in the background at about 12:00--- dude even has vintage trash cans.
55° is freezing dude it's 23° in New Jersey that's freezing😂😂😂 🥶
CARAPILA is the MAN KARNAL
Mike, u need to flatten that rear crossmember.....just like they did it in the '40's
Very nice job . In your opinion do you like the Ford 3 speeds or the new T -5 s that are more practical ?
always inspired by your video's! Question- is there a better T-5 to use or does any T-5 work for a flat head V-8's?
Welcome to LOCOCHON Season 2 Episode 1
Great video ,love the content on this channel. what camera was this filmed with ?
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
How do you set the caster angle when relocating the wishbone ends?
Any suggestions on building a 34 Chevy truck?
