300 6 cyl. to 5.8 V8 swap
Finally, I'm doing the 300 6 cylinder to 5.8 351w V8 swap in my 82 Ford F-100. I am also swapping the srod manual transmission to a C6 automatic transmission. It has been quite a process and isn't done yet, but I'm getting closer to the end. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm waiting on some parts, so we're going to start with this part of the process and have another video for the start-up. I hope you come back to see that video also. Thanks for watching.

Finally starting body filler on the 84 Chevy van. I really would like to take the van to a local car show in a couple weeks. So I need to get some paint where a dent was.
Something different

I was going to fix a rust hole, but luckily, it was only surface rust. So I had to work on something different. It's time to fix the mower.

More dent repair on the Chevy van using a Harbor Freight stud welder kit. It was probably the best option for removing this dent because you cannot get to it from the inside.

Bringing home the Willys jeep. It was a long and hot day. But I'm glad to have it where I can start planning the build . I've been looking for a old jeep for a few years now. I just wish there was a little more of it.

Hell yeah brother! Good video, informative & straight to the point! Subscribed! Keep’em coming.
Hey, thanks for the comment and subscription.
I also just bought an '84 G20! Great job on yours its inspiring to see the possibilities, really cool stuff man thank you for sharing!
Congratulations on your 84 G20. That's the last year for the old style taillights. Helps give it the old school look. Check out some of my other videos, they may help when you're working on it.
@VanGoGarage sweet man thanks I didn't know that! I definitely am watching the rest of your videos I appreciate you making them I can use all the roadmaps I can get ✌🏾
GOTTA VIDEO THE WHOLE JOB THAT WAY YOU KNOW WHERE THE SCREWS GO BACK IN OH NO WHATS THAT RADDLE. SSHHIIT GOT 1987 G20 AN I LOVE VAN LIFE 24/7 VACATION GITRDUN
Yeah you're probably right. I wasn't too worried about it since I had just installed all of it the summer before.
@VanGoGarage 3 more weeks l put a new cce crate engine performer in my van can't wait ill let them do the heater core mine started acting up so van on buddy
@@timquinn9036Crate engine is the way to go. Did that in my other van. Twice the power that it came with. Made a big difference in drivability.
Thanks for this video, very helpful for me, going to do this today. 🏴
Glad it helped. Good luck.
Happy sanding lol
Thanks. It's my all time favorite thing. 😁💩

Thanks for subscribing. I really appreciate it.
@KaiserWillys has everything you need for you Willy’s jeep
Thanks again
That is a 46 to 49 cj2a. The stock driveline is t90 trans, dana 18 transfercase and flathead 4 engine. My 2 cents is that the body is really pretty good and rebuilding it stock, or with a more modern 4cyl would be the way to go. These are actually getting harder to find and worth more stock.
Thanks for the info. I'm glad to learn what I can about these old jeeps. I definitely think it's a good builder for which ever way I decide to go. I guess I need to go check out some old jeeps.
you are lucky to have found this..these flat fenders are now quite highly sought after..you may regret rat rodding it...personally i wouldn't do it...back in the day we used to put small blocks Chevy's in these..327's, 350's etc...there was an adapter available (still is from Adavance Adapters or Novak enterprises..)You wont be able to fit the Cherokee XJ drivetrain into the willys as there just isn't enough room...the engine trans/transfer case are too long for the short 80 inch wheelbase....a more practical swap is to do a chevy 2.8 v6 it's a 60 degree V so it is narrow and only 3 cylinders long...fits in real nicely if you can adapt it to your drive train...a vortec 90 degree v6 shares the SBC bolt pattern so you can use an available adapter with an original drive train (dana18, t-90 transmission).. just my thoughts though...no matter what you decide at least you are making an attempt to save it....oh..back in the day had a full sized bronco with an auto trans that constantly overheated...never solved it, instead hooked up a spare windshield bottle and pointed the nozzle at the front of the radiator...whenever it would get hot i just gave it a shot of water...worked for the few years i had the rig...cheers
Thanks for the comment. If it had any of the powertrain I would be more inclined to keep it in stock form. But since it's just the body, frame and axles and there are quite a few of these old jeeps around here. I thought I could make a cool hotrod out of it and set it apart from all the other old jeeps. But nothing is set in stone just yet and I may change my mind 10 times before I get to work on it.
@KaiserWillys has every thing you need for your jeep
Ok thanks. I will definitely check it out.
Did you need to bleed the brakes after?
No. I was able to leave the master cylinder still hooked up and just moved it out of the way.
you shouldn’t have to adjust the strikers, wrap some electrical tape around them if you want the door to close better
Good idea. Thanks for the tip.
I also have an 84 with the same problem. I noticed you didn’t have to drop the column, can I get away with that too?
I don't think you would have to drop it. But if you did it's only to nuts and you can lay it on the seat. Good luck
Coming along nice, love the van... Would love one myself
Thank you very much. There not to hard to find yet.
Seal all.. save All!! I swear by it
It's the good stuff
Timing gears are better
Well thank you for your opinion. I guess you will have to see the video to find out what I did?
Does this item fit a astro van?
I don't think they will fit. Good luck finding some for a Astro van. Maybe try Ebay? I seen Steele rubber products has some for the back doors.
where did you get them?
I got them from LMC truck. They also sell some van parts.
I'm not totally sure the benefits of using gears vs chain. However I think it would be pretty cool and a good conversation starter. I guess you would never get timing chain slack so that's neat
Thanks for your input. It probably would be a good conversation starter when people tell me that there's something wrong with my power steering pump. Lol
Putting in work brother.
Yeah I just need to keep knocking out things on list. And I knew that one was going to suck so I'm glad it's done.
Same. And Now I don't even have a heater, but it's not a daily. Just a show pony.@@VanGoGarage
Hey could you do a video on how to take out the vent window? Mines broke off the pivot piece and I’m confused on how it comes out. I feel a visual video would do me well, thanks!
Maybe some day. I'm not in any hurry to take a door apart right now. Maybe look for a video on a Chevy truck I believe it's the same thing.
Sweet van man! What did you use for torque converter control?
It was a TCI transmission that already had the parts to hook it up. So I only had to hook up one wire. I know TCI sells the part for witch ever transmission you have. I believe there are 2 different styles. There are videos on CZcams. I think I seen videos of people hooking them up with the stock parts also. Hope this helps.
I like your Chevy. I’m hoping to get one sometime soon.
Thanks. It's been a lot of work. I hope to finish it this summer. And find a new project.
Sweet van!
Thanks buddy. I appreciate it
Where did you find the headliner and seat cover fabric?
The headliner is a carpet remnant. And the seat covers I think I found on Ebay.
What radiator did you use?
Originally I used a radiator from autozone but the radiator cap wouldn't seal to the plastic tub. Then I got a aluminium Summit racing radiator part # sum-384041.
That is the cleanest vehicle I've ever seen to be setting 10 years.
Yeah it was a good one to start a build on
Absolutely. I’m running a 475 HP 383 with 373 gears.
Wow sounds like a good setup
Is it a shorty van, cause i want 1 like this one but the 146 inch i believe is called or the 15 passenger seater, cause I want one exactly like 1 but the long 1 as I just mentioned
It is longer than a shorty and shorter than a 15 passenger. I believe it's a 125 wheel base.
@@VanGoGarage I was told that they are 3 sizes, the shorty 110 inch, medium 125 inch, & the large 1ne 146 inch
Nice work. I did a 700r4 conversion too. Keep on truckin'
Thank you. Yeah that extra gear makes a difference on the highway.
what did you use for the 6 horizontal bars on the grille??
I used metallic spray paint and clear coat
Vantastic! Would like to know the process of making the bubble windows!
I have videos of all 3 attempts to make a bubble window. It took 3 times to figure it out.
Looking simple put nice clean nice job
Thanks a lot 😁
Great job brother!
Thanks man I appreciate it
😂😂 I like the magic carpet ride 😎
I like it too
Keeping them on the road 👍👍from this guy
Yes. And I have my eyes on a couple more that need to be back on the road. I just need to thin the heard a little bit.
Glad you made this video. Im installing power windows.
Happy to know it helped someone. I couldn't find anything before I took it apart. And had to figure it out.
How much would you take for the van? And what state are you in?
If you're really interested you can email me a vangogarage@gmail.com. Please check out the playlist on the van.
Nice 👍👍from this guy
Thanks man. I think I just about have it figured out. Hopefully next time goes better.
It all depends on how much time, money, and parking spots you have 👍👍from this guy
Yes. Time and money are helpful to. But who has any of that?
👍👍from this guy
Thanks from this guy
Looking great
Thanks. It's been a lot of work.
Hope you make it I was there for Monday Tuesday and Wednesday Left Thursday I'm back in Chicago now wish I could had stayed all week 😢
