Dan:that being said all we gotta do is put it back together and hope it runs good,and boy i hope it runs good Wiring: i bouta end dis mans whole career
The wiring is laughably easy on that system. It's all color coded and all the plugs are proprietary. It's pretty much impossible to plug up the wrong thing. And they give you around 3-4 extra feet of length on all the wires as well.
Thanks! I think people get too focused on what power they want. They can't enjoy their cat unless it has 1xxx hp. Like, "hey my dick is 12 inches long and nobody can be happy unless it's 12 inches!"
I love the direction you are taking the channel man. I remember watching you and other motovloges to see the wide open clean streets of America when I was deployed. This new buy weird stuff and repair is always fun to watch. Love what you do, keep doing you.
Dakota digital makes some pretty nice instrument clusters with all sorts of different options on it and they’re pretty easy to program and put in, we put them in every hot rod we build at the shop I work at
Even though you messed up the pump, it's all good bro. A portion of life is about making the best out of everything and learning from your mistakes or from others. Btw.. starting up the motor is a glorious moment!! Lol had my volume all the way up. Peace danno and everyone. 🤜🤛
Was I jibber jabbering? I apologize, I was not aware. Missed a great opportunity to clean up and paint the firewall. Loving the build and process. Someone should send you one of those mechanic jumpsuits, those khakis are done!
Finally I can kick back and watch a bit of do it with dan, really great build to be able to watch without it coming from a professional racing team or millionaire mechanic shop owner
Don't feel bad Dan, been doing engine and trans swaps professionally for 5 years now, still managed to fark the front pump on a 4L60E last month. Granted, that was the first in almost 4 years.. happens to all of us.
Pro tip: converter should click three times to be fully seated. Also if you can't spin your converter with your finger during install it either isnt fully seated or your trans isn't on straight. Even if it's fully installed without bolts in the converter you should be able to spin the converter
In my 71, the square nuts that accept the front leaf spring hanger rusted out. Holesaw thru the floor and put an electricians ko seal in it. Damn uni bodies.
Dan just pour a lil bit of water on the exhaust pipes to check for firing(if it steams its firing if not then it's not firing) . Don't need to burn your finger lol
Dude your really making me miss my old 73, would have loved working along doing the same to mine. cam and headers on it was probley less than have the hp your going to have with the LS.
If you’ve covered this in a previous video, I apologize. But are you going to pull the engine and trans again and clean the frame(either wire wheel or sandblasted) and repaint/coat it? It’s just surface rust, but your subframe needs some attention after you slapped that beautiful LS in there.
Awesome video.... Kinda wish you would've done your own harness... The harness is whats making me debate the ls swap. Also the pre built ls swap harnesses are expensive.. 😆 id rather put that money into a built engine over buying a harness. Love the split bumper build tho
I seen on a video on nicks garage where he had the same problem with too much pressure and removed a plug and a spring and ground one ring off that spring and dropped his pressure to 59 psi. I don't know if your's is the same but worth looking into it.
I got my radiator fixed at a shop after an accident and they let me drive it home even though they knew it had no coolant in it I made it 7 km on the highway to my house and the car is still running a year later and yes I know I need a new block when I rebuild it but whoever said wrx motors are unreliable is high because the stock boost control on my car dosent work right and it has also survived 19 pounds of boost completely stock😂
You can idle the engine for a while and don't have to worry about temps, Garrett (owner of Leroy the savage) has run a whole drag pass without coolant at 1500+bhp with an aluminium block LS. They can take a beating. Of course you shouldn't do that, but you can if need be.
Would highly recommend against doing so on a brand new engine. It’s always a bad idea due to the only the fact that the engine will overhear after a bit, but running it without and coolant at all in the block will cause uneven heating and uneven expansion as the engine warms up. This is especially bad on a brand new motor where everything hasn’t broken in yet
@@jacobshepherd3997 Yes, I know that, but I'm just saying it can be done. Leroy's first engine still runs and is scheduled to be dropped in a another car(I'm not actually sure is it already in some of their cars), but as I said, you shouldn't do that.
Curious why you pulled the sub frame unless this is just test fitting and your taking back apart for paint? I would recommend the little bit of extra work, will make the engine bay look alot cleaner in the long run, either way sweet car
Dan the star lord I love you because you say shit like “this one Fucking bolt” and don’t care if the other guardians of the galaxy may worry about monetization in the videos. I’m sure you will figure it out. This car is freakin sweet almost as sweet as your space ship.
What exhaust u going to run? Can’t wait to hear this thing run. I kick myself for selling my car. Had the same year. I built it the same as u are doing. It was a fast car and a lot of fun.
At least you didn't leave the torque converter on the table and throw an Allison back in behind a 12v cummins.... I let him finish torquing the bolt before I pointed it out

Dan: Shoves camera right next to exposed engine to capture extremely loud exhaust note.
Also Dan: Why is my camera having audio issues?

23:20 nice flower vase in the backround there bud haha
Replace that heater core while your in there. Looks a little rusty and you already have the dash out.
@@juuurrrt yes
@@juuurrrt read the first part where it says "your".
yuea no worries Ive had one sitting around for a while.
@@DOITWITHDAN I would have told you about to torque converter but I thought you installed it by turning it off camera .. next time I'll say something
I was about to say dont forget the heater core. But dont I have too
Happy to see you got it wired and fired! Looking forward to the finished product!
22:05 oh the anxiety of that phone almost dropping
OCD kicking in!
Honestly I treat my phone's like shit. I constantly drop them, fling them, throw em, etc... But I've never broken one 😂 my case is pretty good.
@@DOITWITHDAN Well in your case...
I think this is the earliest I've ever been to a DIWD video.
14:55 that feeling is so pure. It’s amazing work you’re doing dan!
I can’t wait to see this thing completely finished you’re killing it
I generally like this build, itll be nice because its its a healthy amount of power with good drivability! Good luck with the build dan!
Thanks! I think people get too focused on what power they want. They can't enjoy their cat unless it has 1xxx hp. Like, "hey my dick is 12 inches long and nobody can be happy unless it's 12 inches!"
Do It With Dan 1k ho is too much to enjoy
@@romero.4089 remember its do it with dan were talking about, he will have fun with 50 or 10,000 hp
Tyler Unertl lol

*Smoke coming out of the water pump* still revs it. Love the videos Dan!
Hey Dan, I’m restoring a 1971 Datsun 240z and seeing you put in this work really motivates me. Just wanted to say I appreciate you man.
I hope this series takes a couple more episodes! Love learning new stuff 🤙🏽
I’m in England and currently doing a similar swap. Mines a 73 firebird and a 2001 z28 donor. Your builds going great, keep it up 👍🏻
Is that a GTO front on yours?
I used to work at AtoZ auto repair and customization and I helped put a ls6 in a 1969 caprice classic
Dude this is amazing. I was holding of on doing this with my 71 Camaro. After watching your videos, I'm going to give it a shot.
Dakota digital makes some pretty nice instrument clusters with all sorts of different options on it and they’re pretty easy to program and put in, we put them in every hot rod we build at the shop I work at
Thanks I'll check em out!!!
Tomorrow I’ll send you a picture of one in a 68 camaro we’re building
Probably on Instagram
Even though you messed up the pump, it's all good bro. A portion of life is about making the best out of everything and learning from your mistakes or from others. Btw.. starting up the motor is a glorious moment!! Lol had my volume all the way up. Peace danno and everyone. 🤜🤛
Dan, you just earned a subscriber.. I like your positive attitude hard work and dedication..
I’m new but watching All your video content every day is a learning experience 🤩🦅🇺🇸🦅🏍
Dan, there is a gold anodized plate that goes in between that Energy transmission mount and the transmission tail housing.
I haven't been on this channel in a long time. I like what you do with the place!!!
Daunting task brother. Super cool you’re brave enough to takle that by yourself
we need three dans, one to do wrap life stuff, one for the camaro build, and one for the dully build. That way we get more videos
That triumphant "YES!!!" Made it feel like I helped you put the transmission in 👍
Like the Wolverine look you got going on..
Have to give you a lot of credit Dan, certainly taking on a lot more than I ever would.....nice job!
Was I jibber jabbering? I apologize, I was not aware.
Missed a great opportunity to clean up and paint the firewall. Loving the build and process. Someone should send you one of those mechanic jumpsuits, those khakis are done!
Finally I can kick back and watch a bit of do it with dan, really great build to be able to watch without it coming from a professional racing team or millionaire mechanic shop owner
crazy how easy a swap is with the Holley management system! atleast you made it look easy!
Pretty intimidating solo mission brother good on you for tackling it by yourself I know I couldn’t do it just because I don’t have the patience
Sounds so legit. Cant wait to hear it out on the streets.
Thank you for having the flag on your garage wall 🦅🇺🇸🦅🏍
Dan's phrase of the day. "It's a temporary setup."
Don't feel bad Dan, been doing engine and trans swaps professionally for 5 years now, still managed to fark the front pump on a 4L60E last month. Granted, that was the first in almost 4 years.. happens to all of us.
Big moments bro. I was so pumped when it fired up. Nicely done can't wait.
Being a 4l60, I'd say it almost destroyed itself.
Keith Hudson as light as the car is I think it’ll do fine for what he’s building it for. As long as he keeps it cool and doesn’t go over 500 whp
This is sick man!!! Love these swap vids. When I'll grow up I'll do the same thing.
Pro tip: converter should click three times to be fully seated. Also if you can't spin your converter with your finger during install it either isnt fully seated or your trans isn't on straight. Even if it's fully installed without bolts in the converter you should be able to spin the converter
I haven't seen any of your videos in months. I forgot I was subscribed.
Ahhh, the perfect video for me today. Just sent my truck to shop for a new transmission!
We love you dan. Keep up the hard work.
Hell yeah! Can't wait to see it all back together with that mean park to drive shifting haha Awesome video as always
This car is gonna be a beast
Might wanna go for a billet corvette servo for your stock trans, livens it up a bit and its better than yanking it apart for a shift kit.
That motor sounds so bad ass haha
In my 71, the square nuts that accept the front leaf spring hanger rusted out. Holesaw thru the floor and put an electricians ko seal in it. Damn uni bodies.
Hey dan! Dont forgot to bleed that new master cylinder!
The sweet sweet sound of freedom 😎🇺🇸
Great work Dan. Can’t wait for the next video.
im getting so excited watching this come together!!
You're looking in good shape man 👍
💪🏼😤 its gonna be a beast when it's done
Love the sound of her.
When you put the pressure hoses on, make sure you flare the ends of the hard piping
Yeah probably won't end well but he may not have a flaring kit
i stopped what i was watching and clicked on the notification
Haha I'm doing this all by myself in the garage... with the help of these people hahaha
Keep it up Dan! This is awesome!
He said at the beginning “I’m just going to do some minor changes” then 2 months later the whole front end is completely dismantled 🤣😂
Dan just pour a lil bit of water on the exhaust pipes to check for firing(if it steams its firing if not then it's not firing) . Don't need to burn your finger lol
I just lick them first 😂
@@DOITWITHDAN your fingers gonna be sizzlin lol medium rare 😂
Dude your really making me miss my old 73, would have loved working along doing the same to mine. cam and headers on it was probley less than have the hp your going to have with the LS.
Omg this cars f**king sick af great job Dan!!!
I may have missed it, but with the LS engine, did you re-enforce the frame so it doesn't twist with all the extra power?
Cant Wait to whatch you build your Dash!
hell yeah brother big epic gamer moment keep gettin after it
Whoever you bought that Camaro from did a nice job fixing it up😬jeez....
Dan nice build
Your doing a great job keep up the hard work
Yes, the ls swap is back
If you’ve covered this in a previous video, I apologize. But are you going to pull the engine and trans again and clean the frame(either wire wheel or sandblasted) and repaint/coat it? It’s just surface rust, but your subframe needs some attention after you slapped that beautiful LS in there.
He was going to repaint it if i aint wrong after driving it seeing if it all works
When did you put the front pump seal in?
Awesome video.... Kinda wish you would've done your own harness... The harness is whats making me debate the ls swap. Also the pre built ls swap harnesses are expensive.. 😆 id rather put that money into a built engine over buying a harness. Love the split bumper build tho
The torque converter should clunk 3 times as you push in and turn.
please do a boom tube side exit nascar exhaust! Dr. Gas is well known for making them.
Need to take this car on the 2020 hot rod power tour
just started watching this and a 4l60e damn thats alot of neutrals
I seen on a video on nicks garage where he had the same problem with too much pressure and removed a plug and a spring and ground one ring off that spring and dropped his pressure to 59 psi. I don't know if your's is the same but worth looking into it.
Ground to the aluminum head?
makes sense
Do u have links to where everything needed was bought ,
Dude that car is so cool wish we could get them here in the uk without its costing the same as a house
Snake was after the rat for sure🦅🇺🇸🦅🏍
What type of brake booster did you buy. You didn't say. Ty! Enjoyed these videos!
a crossed thread is a tight thread daniel

So separating the subframe from the body is easier for engine swaps you think?
You could do an ipad dash or galaxy Tab dash what ever one you use
Nice build

Why the auto and not a manual?
What exhaust u going to run? Can’t wait to hear this thing run. I kick myself for selling my car. Had the same year. I built it the same as u are doing. It was a fast car and a lot of fun.
Also what trans cooler lines ? Or did you make those
I know you already got the steering wheel you wanted but what if you made your own epoxy steering wheel lol
Engine and suspension Componets are gonna need a sandblast and powder coating Hope you do some of it your self or camaro series is basically not DIY
Screw that energy suspension stuff your going to hear metal clinking together upon acceleration
Yo Dan, remember when Jake the garden snake made that troll video on your garbage midpipe Exhaust, he just made Something, time for a return of serve.
At least you didn't leave the torque converter on the table and throw an Allison back in behind a 12v cummins.... I let him finish torquing the bolt before I pointed it out
