Yep backwards,Also those cheap clutch tools are loosy goosy compared to the transmission spline been there on my back dealing with that issue ,LOLL!@@DDSpeedShop
@@DDSpeedShop, I always would eye ball the clutch alignment as you go tighten up the pressure plate. Making the alignment tool go in and out as you tighten. Your Camaro is coming together nicely D&D.
Well it certainly seems so. I've found that an old input shaft makes the best alignment tool and it's factory. It can also be used as a driver for installing pilot bushings. Do make dure you find one that the input shaft is not so worn at the pilot section that you get misalignment. Those plastic jobs just don't get it. Also checking the alignment as you go around tightening the pressure plate bolts makes sure that the transmission will go in smoothly. I've always put the clutch disc up to flywheel with the installation tool and then installed the pressure plate. The input shaft holds the clutch disc in place to facilitate ease of installation. Of course, on those older cast iron bellhousings which have to be bolted up first you have to put both clutch disc and pressure plate up into the bellhousing and then align the disc. I also put the transmission in gear and using an oud output yoke can turn the input shaft in order to align the splines through the clutch disc. Back when I was a young man, I could French curl a transmission over my head and set it on my chest and then bench press it up and chunk it in. Old man now and just have to use my floor jack to raise the transmission up. This of course is when you are laying on your back when installing the transmission. Can't use a creeper however as it rolls around. I would recommend a DD Speed shop cardboard creeper.
Good thing you do this on video otherwise you would never know that you had the throw out bearing in backwards. You're very lucky to have such awesome viewers to remind you when you make a mistake.
The input shaft bearing loves the way you mashed that shit together. Test fit the bushing to the input shaft before you mash that shit together. Test fit the bell housing to the trans. Could also wear out the thrust bearing on the crankshaft. Keep that in mind when you start banging gears.
They make two types of crank shaft bushings, one made of brass and one of being a roller bearing Dan. I cannot believe you installed the throw out bearing backwards!
westport here sir. i helped my brother a whole lot. but when it came to lots of horsepower. no one but him did the work. not telling you any thing you do not know. nice work. your messing with a lot of money there sir. you take what ever time you need.
Fkin crazy Kool that a person can gather up old parts, buy what's needed...fill up a garage and then!!....turn it all into a wicked car. Fantastic. Dr. Frankenstein skills.
The best pilot bushing installer is a old blown head gear. The surface matches the concavity of the bushing exactly. You never mess up the bushing. Just cut the gear portion off, and grind a nice flat chisel type rounded head on it. Works better than those plastic clutch alignment tools too, just like you're plugging the tranny in. Can't believe you ain't made one long ago, this is do it yourself D&D, correct? Any stick Chevy trans can be a donor. The odd size bushing you find on the early cranks. We used to call them Powerglide cranks, since it was a stick change over where you always needed the oddball. Dorman makes the conversion bushing, #690-034, fits perfecto. The 690-014.1 is the standard one. Well worth having both in stock, cause good luck finding the 690-034 in stock anywhere local.
yes i agree the clutch only spins between 7,000 and 10,000 rpm so if it comes off it "might "not have enough rotational weight to cut your legs off at the ankles, so no need to waste the $1,50 locktite .... i would just rely soley on the blowproof bellhousing.
Danni looks great with her D&D shirt and all. She needs her own Powderpuff tool box Dan; painted pink with a vanity mirror inside the lid. Man !!! It`s like Christmas morning there !!! Excellent work Danni and Dan !!! We are all anticipating the RUMBLE now and can`t wait !!! Keepa-Rockin !!!
In 76 I was 18 and had a 67 Chevy Impala B pillarless hardtop with a 327, and a 53 Studebaker pickup ,with a 58 Corvette drivetrain, 292 duntov cam and cast iron Muncie 4 speed.
I know you get a lot of grief from the internet. I love what you do and your work. If you ever do a show car I think I’ll quit watching. You do the work people like me love. If it works it can’t be wrong. Right? Thank you Dan.
Good stuff Dan, gonna be so cool, getting car ready to drive always takes the longest, but worth the wait, for that first under its own power trip around the block, cant wait to watch it happen!
Dan, if you're going to use a pilot bushing instead of a bearing. Put it on your thumb, fill the center with motor oil, and squeeze the oil with your thumb and finger until the oil protrudes from the outside pores of the bushing. That is how they are designed to be lubricated.
thank you for bringing me myself along. memories of my brother just come screaming back. my self and a lot others i know thank you. now if you twist the half frame. jim put 2x2 box on all his drag cars. just him.
Princess Auto should have a pneumatic ram for that engine hoist.... I bought a harbor freight hoist off market place that turned out to have a roached cylinder - surprise I know... so I went to harbor fright and it turned out that the air one was about the same price. night and day difference. Still has the pump handle for when no air is available.
And some people even check the runout of the bellhousing. That was done on big truck engines when a flywheel was removed for servicing. It do help the input shaft bearing live a little longer.
You know the money is spent but a lot of the parts are what you already worked with before and you were happy with. Not having the anxiety over parts that may or may not work is worth their weight in gold.
Ìm really glad to put out the money on a blow proof bell housing my friend big Tony bought a really nice 67 camaro and he had a solid lift high reving small block in it the first time he did a burnout he brought the motor up to 6500 rpm dumped the clutch and when he banged second gear he sheared the flywheel bolts off and the flywheel came through the hood took out the windshield wiper motor cut the back of the distributor and broke the block where the starter boĺted up and the cowl hood looked like someone cut there way out the engine compartment with a chain saw all because of cheap hardware and no blow proof bell housing .expensive lesson.. don't cheap out on parts .
When I lived down in Tampa Fl in the early seventies there was this fellow who had a 55 Chevrolet with a big block in it (4 spd. car). Well he was a grease monkey at a Gulf station up on 50th street (if memory serves me right) and 50th street was a 4 lane undivided street (and the lanes were Model T width. He worked at night and other hot rodders would come up and race him for money of course. Well one day I ran into him and he had all these little cuts all over his face. I asked him what happened. Well he said "one night last week a fellow came up to the shop to race me and we lined up on 50th street and I blew the flywheel out of that car and i hit a telephone pole (he was in the outside lane and the telephone poles were right on the edge of the sidewalk). Of course the car went to the junk yard and as far as I know the fellow ended his street racing career. That was well over fifty years ago.
The throw out bearing is backwards 😮. A wrap or 2 of black tape on the end of your alignment tool helps center the clutch better. Just enough to take the slop out of it and the pilot bearing
Hey Dan&Dannie Really enjoying the extra content, please do not burn yourself out though; I would rather wait a day or two for a video. No judging as holding a camera that long I would shake as well, perhaps get one of those cheap gimbals to hold the camera. You Guys are great! Take care of each other 😊
Good afternoon from Cape Cod ⚓ it's coming along nicely Dan, and I thought I somehow missed the installation of the Camaro motor. I noticed that installed in one of the shmoo episodes. keep up the good work and awesome content guys 👍✌️🇺🇲
Love how you guys mess with each other, it’s the key to a successful relationship. Great explanation on this one, you missed your calling as a teacher I guess.
Yes sir. When we growing up my dad built a ktichen table that was hinge to the wall and could be swung up out of the way when not in use. Well as time passed he built a newer one that slid over against the wall. Well I acquired the old one and attached to a concrete wall in a building I rented and with proper support I could set an engine on it and install a transmission (automatic or stick) ay waist level instead of getting down on the floor. Yes I also put a little grease on the pilot bearing and prefer to use the bronze bushing as it does indeed lasts.
Back in the day, lol, the older high horsepower chevy's had cast iron bellhousing, and scatter shields were a woven material wrapped around the bellhousing. The only cast aluminum were the automatic transmissions, but more recently they bellhousing out of cast aluminum. Flywheel bolt torque is 65ftlbs, pressure plate is 35ftlbs, and bellhousing is 25ftlbs.. You know you put the throwout bearing in backwards, right? I love that you got a MSD Pro Billet Distributor, just beware of the Digital E-Curve Pro Billet Distributors like the 8394... Condensation in the cap will destroy the circuit board within a year, rendering it useless.. Its an expensive paper weight at 650.00 USD.. DD speed shop is a great show with great content, keep up the good work!!!
Hey Dan don't be afraid to bash on those brand new headers with a mallet to give yourself a little more spark plug clearance, melted boots are a pain in the butt
A little how to clutch - aligned clutch best you can and when assembling transmission to it just engage throw out arm with long wrench or whatever and tranny will slide right in 😊 because clutch will be loose
or just use the alignment tool that comes with every new clutch and you won't have to try to depress the pressure plate fingers with some Rube Goldberg handywork! 😳
Dan, I myself have the noassatol problem to so wear a freaking belt. Remember you are building a business, so please remember business is business and personal is personal, meaning when the Camera is off let your ass out but when the camera is on but on a damn belt. Loving this build brother, that black is crazy cool 😎
Dude Dan & Dani, I just have to say that these videos ROCK!!! This video made my day, so much humor and fun 😊. Great job 👍. Have a great day today 😎 🌞. Anyways, thanks for the video 📸.
I'm NOT here to tell ya how to install throw out bearings... 😂 I am here to tell ya that the SFI sticker on your bell housing is good for two years. When the time is up, don't sell it to a Canadian hippy at a loss...you send it back to Lakewood (or whoever built it) and it gets a fresh sticker..costs about a hundred bucks plus freight both ways, and with the price of a new bell being what it is, it's not a bad deal. Also FYI..scatter shields don't work miracles. If you do any serious racing, get an SFI approved flywheel & clutch as well..
That's good to know. I'll bet through the magic of you tube Dan installed that bearing backwards just to stimulate the comments section. He and co-conspirator Dani probably edited out the footage where he fixed that problem. Well I can assume so but the acid test is when he realizes the clutch doesn't work quite right
You guys need a table that mounts flushed to your wall, but can be pulled down when Dan starts emptying his stuff, so he doesn't have to bend over so much. As an old person I appreciate anything to save my back and knees 😂
Dude!!! Great video!!! I'm in line waiting to get in the Portland Oregon swap meet!!!!! I'm looking for a 5spd and everything you went over in the video!!! Thanks for reminding me!!!!👍
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it before, but umm, that throw out bearing is backwards there bud! Just looking out! haha On a different note, it's much easier to wiggle the trans in if you just rest it on a jack with the motor lower, then you just have to wiggle it and don't have to worry about holding the weight of the trans. I'm lazy though so I'm always taking the easy way!
I hope you got the correct T/O bearing. I found out the HARD way that there are 3 different heights of throw out bearings for Chevies, when I was installing an aftermarket clutch assembly in a 67 Implala w/SBC. Jim Green's speed shop didn't know which was the right one, either.
Get an old input shaft, broken teeth no good etc, you now have an installation tool for the bearing. Nice weight and size and a hammer doesn't hurt it. 😎🏁
It was Big Daddy Don Garlits, back when top fuel cars were front engine, who had his clutch blow and injured his foot. He started using a Scatter Shield, I don't know if he invented it or not but he did have the first rear engine top fuel dragster.
I think that scattershields were around before Garlits had that explosion (took the front part of his right foot off). I used to get Hot Rod magazine in the mid sixties to the late seventies. I would but up pictures of the hot rods and drag cars on my bedroom wall as a kid growing up. That photo of Garlits blowing that clutch went up on the bedroom wall. You could see that the car was bent in a ninety degree bend and Garlits was up over the engine looking down at it. I understand he still has that car in his museum down there just south of Ocala Fl on I-75. Of course the next season Garlits had the rear engine set-up (he merely placed the drivers position in front of the drive train). There had been attempts before to introduce rear engine dragster with engines set sideways and using all kinds of drive train rigs but this car Garlits came up was about the first of this design and simple. I believe the article I read about the car Garlits stated that all he had to do was to change the steering gear ratio and the steering was too quick.
Danni, that camera work made me a bit sick. Got to rest my eyes after watching the video. Thought you might like some feedback. Thanks for helping Dan, I like the banter.
I may be crazy but that throw out bearing sure looked backwards
Yeah it's bad
Yep backwards,Also those cheap clutch tools are loosy goosy compared to the transmission spline been there on my back dealing with that issue ,LOLL!@@DDSpeedShop

Hey Dan 👋, looks good 👍
But, your throwout bring is backwards. You had it right the first time, then you turned 180 wrong.👍
Dan, not sure if anyone has told you yet but the throw out bearing is basically backerds.😮
Good thing you do this on video otherwise you would never know that you had the throw out bearing in backwards. You're very lucky to have such awesome viewers to remind you when you make a mistake.

That’s how it works in Canada.

no one but him did the work. not telling you any thing you do not know. nice work.
your messing with a lot of money there sir. you take what ever time you need.
Dan ya got the throw out bearing in backwards on the fork. Bearing rides on the fingers not the fork
As far as the pilot bearing we used to many years ago, throw it in the freezer for a while. Makes things a whole lot easier
Fkin crazy Kool that a person can gather up old parts, buy what's needed...fill up a garage and then!!....turn it all into a wicked car. Fantastic.

With that leaf spring rear end you need to put a set of Cal tracks. You will love them

DAN cleaning the shop and organizing and painting 🎨 firewalls and using tork wrenches is this DD SPEED SHOP 😯
I used to start to install the trany and if it is a bit tight just use the clutch fork and release the plate and it centers itself.
Damn that engine looks awesome and we already know she's gonna rip... awesome job guys! Love seeing you work together

Dan, you bought your molding/trim organizer from the same store I did!
When the throw out bearings are put in wrong, they’ll work fine, but that little spring clippy thing will eventually break. Happened on my jeep

A old transmission shaft will make the best pilot shaft driver
You can't buy those at Autozone. Who has a spare transmission shaft laying around? Plastic works just fine.

Those Hooker headers are really good they generally fit super nice good choice for making your life easy when it comes to header installation
Coming along nicely. Soon I bet when it's running/driving this will become your favorite. A red or blue interior would be something different.
Great shot of the nova gasser on the new Faster With Cotton and Newburn.
I noticed that too I was thinking it could be a drinking game take a shot every time you see the Nova.
Test fitting your bell housing to trans and clutch to input shaft before mounting everything can help also
And some people even check the runout of the bellhousing. That was done on big truck engines when a flywheel was removed for servicing. It do help the input shaft bearing live a little longer.
You know the money is spent but a lot of the parts are what you already worked with before and you were happy with. Not having the anxiety over parts that may or may not work is worth their weight in gold.

Anywhere from fucking 400 to 700 god damn dollars
That's Bidenomics thanks Joe when ya get it built ya can't afford to drive it $3.99 for gas FJB
Don't forget the trans fluid tc HoppyBob 🤠
A mallet is really a passive aggressive hammer.
Great camera person!!!!! 😂 I wanna see the mess again. 👍
Always enjoy you videos!
The pilot bushing should be soaked in oil overnight before installing. Just a (good) suggestion
Look look at the throw out bearing is backwards
The throw out bearing is backwards 😮. A wrap or 2 of black tape on the end of your alignment tool helps center the clutch better. Just enough to take the slop out of it and the pilot bearing
Hun cap and wheels are awesome looks so good
Hey guy be careful how you treat the help😮. Assistant
Snug it up and hit the shift fork with a dead blow to let the disk line up with the pilot bushing.

Love that i get to see you hard at it everyday now, it’s great! I won’t even mention the throw out bearing being backwards 😂 Sure looks good.
I always sit the motor on the floor to install the transmission. Also I add a little bit of grease to the pilot bearing.
Yes sir. When we growing up my dad built a ktichen table that was hinge to the wall and could be swung up out of the way when not in use.

@@Jimschrbr not close enough just sayin
Engine transmission combo looks gorgeous put together. We already know how it runs, so this car is going to be badass sick!
Thanks for sharing this video with us love this build
Put the pilot bushing in a fridge or freezer (or snow bank since you're in Canada) for a few hours before hammering it in. It's not going to shatter 🤣
Dan, I myself have the noassatol problem to so wear a freaking belt. Remember you are building a business, so please remember business is business and personal is personal, meaning when the Camera is off let your ass out but when the camera is on but on a damn belt.

Nice practice run, now pull it apart and fix your throw out bearing....
Once you get the splines in the clutch, press the clutch lever and ram it home 😊😊😊😊. Try it next time, saves a lot of time and effort.
So Dan very cool. More like 1967 building a 56 Chevy nice work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
Just like the Ed Sullivan Show we got a really great show keep up the great work
Looking good 🎉 I like the idea of the z bar clutch setup. Keep it simple 🎉
I had to replace my shift fork and throw out bearing last fall for doing just what you said, clipping it in with the spring. Won’t do that again.
good job u2!
A buddy of mine back in 76, his Chevy 2 grenated his clutch and it broke the crap out his right leg😮😮😮😮
I'm NOT here to tell ya how to install throw out bearings...
😂
I am here to tell ya that the SFI sticker on your bell housing is good for two years.
When the time is up, don't sell it to a Canadian hippy at a loss...you send it back to Lakewood (or whoever built it) and it gets a fresh sticker..costs about a hundred bucks plus freight both ways, and with the price of a new bell being what it is, it's not a bad deal.
Also FYI..scatter shields don't work miracles. If you do any serious racing, get an SFI approved flywheel & clutch as well..
That's good to know. I'll bet through the magic of you tube Dan installed that bearing backwards just to stimulate the comments section. He and co-conspirator Dani probably edited out the footage where he fixed that problem. Well I can assume so but the acid test is when he realizes the clutch doesn't work quite right
You should of checked your bell housing center. If it is to far out it's going to raise hell with that transmission.
You guys need a table that mounts flushed to your wall, but can be pulled down when Dan starts emptying his stuff, so he doesn't have to bend over so much. As an old person I appreciate anything to save my back and knees 😂
Dude!!! Great video!!! I'm in line waiting to get in the Portland Oregon swap meet!!!!! I'm looking for a 5spd and everything you went over in the video!!! Thanks for reminding me!!!!👍
Dan, I am correcting my comment, the pilot bushing is made of bronze and not brass...
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it before, but umm, that throw out bearing is backwards there bud! Just looking out! haha
On a different note, it's much easier to wiggle the trans in if you just rest it on a jack with the motor lower, then you just have to wiggle it and don't have to worry about holding the weight of the trans. I'm lazy though so I'm always taking the easy way!
Even with the throwout bearing in backwards Dani is a phenomenal helper!
I hope you got the correct T/O bearing. I found out the HARD way that there are 3 different heights of throw out bearings for Chevies, when I was installing an aftermarket clutch assembly in a 67 Implala w/SBC. Jim Green's speed shop didn't know which was the right one, either.
I flat out love how you have built that hot rod. It's going to scream. Keep wrenching!
Yeah, cause you never know when you're going to get into a shifting competition :rolleyes
Get an old input shaft, broken teeth no good etc, you now have an installation tool for the bearing. Nice weight and size and a hammer doesn't hurt it.
😎🏁
Yes sir one can cut off the section where the rollers go in and it makes a nice drift for installing the pilot bearing.
As a guy that lived through the cast to aluminum transition Era grade 8 bolrs for aluminum. It's a electrolysis thing
Grade 8 flat washers too. I have seen grade 5 s eat into the aluminum over a short time running

Awesome engine for your Camaro. That makes it untouchable at high stakes. Keep up the great work.
You know when a Canadian's happy, he's say Tickety Boo!
It was Big Daddy Don Garlits, back when top fuel cars were front engine, who had his clutch blow and injured his foot. He started using a Scatter Shield, I don't know if he invented it or not but he did have the first rear engine top fuel dragster.
I think that scattershields were around before Garlits had that explosion (took the front part of his right foot off). I used to get Hot Rod magazine in the mid sixties to the late seventies. I would but up pictures of the hot rods and drag cars on my bedroom wall as a kid growing up. That photo of Garlits blowing that clutch went up on the bedroom wall. You could see that the car was bent in a ninety degree bend and Garlits was up over the engine looking down at it. I understand he still has that car in his museum down there just south of Ocala Fl on I-75. Of course the next season Garlits had the rear engine set-up (he merely placed the drivers position in front of the drive train). There had been attempts before to introduce rear engine dragster with engines set sideways and using all kinds of drive train rigs but this car Garlits came up was about the first of this design and simple. I believe the article I read about the car Garlits stated that all he had to do was to change the steering gear ratio and the steering was too quick.
Danni, that camera work made me a bit sick. Got to rest my eyes after watching the video. Thought you might like some feedback. Thanks for helping Dan, I like the banter.
