A boat is a hole in the water into which you pour money………….

Do you remember the difference in offset on the water pump and the surface of the damper, im trying to figure out the same thing on my olds 455 and i don't know what pulleys to use.

Man I’d go crazy with that floppy socket extension. Lol. About to do this tomorrow (barring mosquitoes!). Nice work 👍🏼

What rear end you running

What type of transmission you running

You are a brave man taking that project on brother. I don't think I would have it in me to tackle that 1. I'm glad my bug is in a bit better shape but still needs considerable work. However time is against me as I'm 62 yrs old. Good luck my friend .

👍👍👍

Sweet

Sweet, excited to see it on the water!

Good video for reference

I picked up a '69 Bird with a hydraulic clutch to a Tremec T56 6 speed. The entire brake/clutch pedal assembly has side to side movement of about 1 inch. I am worried that it may be coming loose. Have you ever heard of an assembly having built-in play?

Hi. What is the name of the seat part that keeps the seat from coming off the track? My ‘74 is missing it?

Ich würde auf jeden Fall auch die Stoßstangen für die erste Fahrt dabeihaben, ohne unnötige Schäden riskieren zu müssen

Where did you get the bolt kit?

how did you adapt and what clutch did you use?

You'll be on the water in no time.

Diese verdammten Mäuse sind wie der Tod von tausend Scherenschnitten

Hey, I am in the middle of this same job for my 70 Camaro. I too am using the stock pedals, hydraulic clutch bracket from Speedtech, GM hydraulic cylinder, Wilwood manual brake master cylinder and Wilwood proportional valve. After some hammer and dolly work on the firewall hole I got the GM hydraulic cylinder to fit ok, messaged the Speedtech bracket hole so the Wilwood cylinder would fit, I came across the next problem. The stock pedal bracket bolts that go through the firewall are not long enough for the clutch bracket, Wilwood master cylinder, Wilwood required spacer, Wilwood proportional valve bracket and finally the castle nut!! So I guess I will replace the GM firewall bolts with something about 1/2" longer. Hope you don't run into this one.

Wow I haven’t not seen a cassette tape since high school. You need to feed those mice something other than your boat.

Glad you are back!

Nice!

Good video man!

I miss the MUSHtash

Sagten Sie Ihre guten Kassetten? ... woher haben Sie noch Kassetten? Ich habe Ihnen gesagt, Sie sollen aufhören, Dinge zu horten.

How did you do the location holes for the Firebird emblem and the badges.

That gas has varnished nicely. Could use it on your deck instead of Thompson's.

Nice. Looking forward to seeing some videos from on the water, and fish. 👍

Ich bin überrascht, dass die Mäuse nicht jeden Draht zerkaut haben!

This is awesome. Catching your video for the first time. If this works then I imagine a t56 to a 500 caddy is possible.

Welcome back ole buddy!

How about a 500 caddy to a tr6060?

Hello again, old friend.

Schön dich wiederzusehen!

Nice Glad to see you back

does the cadillac engine have the same basic bolt pattern as all small block transmissions? TH400,TH350, Powerglide?

Can you make me some for a 1981 El Camino I’m trying to put my 472 in it

It's a tight fit w o custom headers

I hot rodded these engines for 30 years

It's not hard if you have basic skills Bloodviking master engine builder and cadillac man

Weld in the lower mounts with what you have in the pic. Once the engine is in the correct position. It will overhang on the chassis a cross member a bit.

We dud this in the mid 80s we welded in solid mounts all custom made Did them for 20 years all types of gm cad 500 swaps

What pulley did you use for the crankshaft

What state are you in?

can u do one for front turn signals replacement???

can u do one replacing front signal lights??

Im putting my 69 bird back together. Its been apart 9 months. Theres a series of 8 screws that run under the cowl, they follow the arc of the windshield. I dont remember anything being there.. Youd think windsheild trim maybe, but theyd be covered youd never be able to get to them. Did your car have them?

He is using a 1969 Camaro set up. It is different from a 1969 Firebird. A 1969 Firebird has a one year unique bracket, brake and clutch pedal set up. They look similar but are not the same. A 69 Firebird set up requires significant modifications so it is better to hunt down a Camaro set up than to modify a Firebird set up. 67-68 brackets will not work in a 69 Firebird or Camaro so make sure you get the right year bracket. The 67-68 brackets are shorter and will not match the under dash mounts. I cannot find a reason why Pontiac did this but I am sure they has a reason. The only thing I could think was that a Pontiac small block is a hair wider than a Chevy 350 so they had to offset the clutch pedal a little further to the left.

J-nuts

I knew a kid back in the 80s that had a 500 in his first gen firebird. In the 90s I ran a 429 Cadillac in my 79 Camaro. Then I ran a 500 in my 85 Blazer in the 90s and then my 78 GMC short bed after that.

Very cool using a different motor i just got a 472 cad for my nash 😎
