- Engine conversions aren't easy, Especially if you're trying to fit a 454 Big Block Chevy into a Car that originally came with a small capacity 6 cylinder.
In todays episode of The Skid Factory, Al & Woody make a start on mounting a BBC and @HughesPerformance powerglide into Al's 68 Toyota Crown.
Old cock makes an appearance, Woody has no sympathy for Al's chassis and Roger hangs around for a few pats on the head.

Hi hope you do a in person harrop shoptour interested in 9.8 deck bbc top mount low profile supercharger info cheers
Genuine NX Pajero keys are un-fking-believably expensive.
385kg
"Who are you, and how did you get in here?"
I have a question, when you take everything apart, how do you remember how to put it back together? Edit* Also my guess is 543lbs
Al: "If you were hoping for a quick series on this one, it's not gonna be! This is probably gonna go on for a long time"
Richard & Nik: "We rewrote the definition of 'long time'".
Just made a 9 year window for himself to finish this car🤣 good day fellow BOM viewer!!
The longer the builds go the better!
How long does it take to make a couple brackets for a Big Block?
Mere human lifespans are nothing to Bracketry Obsession Motorsport.
lol , thats who i immediately thought of as well
I'm a Binky fan... I'm hardened by now. Hit us with a good job done the way you want it. No matter how long that takes! :D
Hello fellow Binky viewer! We have learned the fine art of patience
The only caveat is that I’m 51. I was 25 when Binky started, I’m not going to live long enough to see too many project cars at that rate 🤩
😂🤣😂🤣This made me laugh!! As a fellow Binky fan, the 7-8yrs they took to complete that car has made me impervious to CZcams time! The more videos you give me the happier I am!
Project Binky and the seemingly abandoned Escargo
@@sonofhalver The Escargo will return for sure. Next episode happens when they've been stuck waiting for parts that Nik can't fabricate himself for long enough that the Escargo gets prioritized out of boredom :P
220kg for that big boy.
ALSO! A suggestion from a guy that used to work at a welding supply store (fixing welders and plasma cutters) Make sure to keep on top of the torch consumables and replace them when they need replacing. Don't skimp and try and make them last longer than they're supposed to, they do wear out (sometimes quicker than you might think!) and make sure you get the correct consumables, the wrong ones can look very similar/identical but the torch will not work full stop. Also don't drop the torch head or give it any hard knocks, they are fragile and expensive inside.
That and make sure the air supply is dry, water in the air will destroy the consumables very quickly.
Enjoy the light saber!
This is like fitting Lexington Steele into Kylie Minogue
You win 🏆 🥇 👑 😂 😂
If this doesn’t get top comment, there is no point in the internet anymore
Bruh. 🤣
😂 get a run up..

😁😁😁🚙😁😁😁
Love the sound of this build and can't wait for finished thing but I guess 307 kg
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 120 lbs or as the rest of the world would say it 54.4311 kgs. I've been a subscriber/watcher since the beginning, even got input on what turbos to use on my 99 Camaro build. It is only getting better and better, thank y'all for the excellent content!
Ahh cars would be so much cooler if a big block weighed 120 pounds.
I saw the episode header and thought it will with a BFH and a little well placed massaging on the firewall . I got a 360 dodge in a Opel cadet FFS I needed to beef up the front suspension afterwards but it fit it had a massive hole in the hood but it fit and went like a cat on fire god I miss that car.
I'm really surprised how easy that engine fits in that bay. of course there's a lot to do to make it work but at least it fits. cant wait to see it run.
That thing's gotta be pushing 300Kg honestly, those big blocks be heavy! Fits better than I expected, actually. I mean it doesn't fit well, but I expected having to change engines so it's going well
251.5kg asked for big block content and have been super rewarded. Love that big block sound
Great work.
You guys are the best Australian car content.
If it were easy, we would not need Al and Woody show us the way to do it. Nice to see "OC" helping out and enjoying an Lemon Squash or two. I say the Big Block weighs about 33 cases of Lemon Squash.
Finally your own car T.Y. A 597 big shout Rodger, that envelope he gave mechanical Stig for Drag week. Legend.
Always admired your show, put a proper smile on me boat ( race) . Mick T
Great video, can't wait for more Alan knowledge.
And 14:29 was on point.
It's refreshing to see youtubers actually take their time and build things properly. Watching other people buying new 'dailys' every second day gets old quick.
im not sure i like how quickly dude said yes and how happy he looked when he said can you do safes lol
Awesome build , can’t wait to see it running?
I’m so bloody excited for this build 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Very cool, guys. Keen to follow this build
Roger has grown so much!!!
I had heard of big engines being put into Crowns before....well more on Crown chassis. I'd heard that the older Crowns actually had a ladder rail chassis underneath and heaps of people built T-bucket type hot rods using them.
Great video as always legends!!
This build is going to be epic!! My guess for the big block with the heads and intake is 295kgs. Keep up the great work lads 🤙🏻
THANK YOU FOR DETAILED VIDEO
Great to see that there's real hope for fitting a big block into your Crown. It gives me some hope of getting the 1uz conversion done on mine.
1UZ has lower exhaust ports that clash with the upper control arms. Strange that and engine nearly twice the capacity fits better.
@@theskidfactory I have a set of log headers and a factory canted bellhousing that should alleviate this issue to a degree.
The canted bellhousing is just for the steering box clearance on a UZS131, it won't help with clearance on the much narrower S55 chassis. The 131 also had some of the most horrific exhaust manifolds to go with the bellhousing twist.
I don't have the space to build a car so I built a little cafe racer. Thanks for the great content and inspiration skid factory 🍻
Good choice on the plasma, the UniMig cutter is a ripper. Forget what the book says about sheet thickness & amps, turn it up and moderate your cut depth by the speed of your travel. Heaps cleaner cut & faster. 👍
454 are pretty hefty, no ex. manifolds and pretty bare I'm guessing 280-285kg?
Plasma cutters are the awesome! Nice move there 👍😎
keen for this one boys!! love a long series!
Lookin good boys. No substitute for Cubic inches💪
Engine would be 280kg as pictured i rekon, looks like it fits reasonably well!
“Big blocks are big, so that’s why they’re called big blocks”.
Words of wisdom here!
I am surprised that it fits so easy but the old crowns were pretty big
Reminds me a bit of a hq chassis 👍👍
I'd guess 275lg as it's hangin' there. Don't worry about how long each build takes. Every one is a story, and you blokes tell it well.
Gear vendors have overdrive extensions for a lot of gearboxes, especially power glides if you're interested.
Loving this build , mini tubs ?
There are a couple of big block crowns down in Victoria that are engineer approved due to the full chassis .
Shoehorning a big V8 in to a old 70s toyota, now where have i seen that lol. Awesome idea for a build Al, its going to be mad.
Sweet Christmas vibes on that first song
A 9.8L engine in a car that weighs how much?
Madness, I absolutely love the idea!
Problem is the engine they will be putting in isn't a 9.8L.
That's just the engine used for test fitting.
@@lmo2021 8.1L going in still.
I put a 302 Cleveland into a 1973 crown 30 years ago, owners finances didn't extend to a diff swap so it was quick to 100 with 3.9 to one gears, biggest problem I had was oil filter, which needed a remmote mount
Love the build .is it going to be engineered or just a track / skid car . .... 296kg
I'm gonna go low and say around the 210kg mark, Lots of alloy bits, overbore for capacity taking weight from the block. Also that looks like it's gonna be fun to do the UCA shims for wheel alignment when the headers are on.
If this is going to be a summernats kind of car, would be sweet to see it with Hillborn style intake stacks, except electronic injection
My buddies work at Moroso, those pans actually make horsepower on a big block because they reduce windage, I would recommend one, that’s what I run on my Shafiroff 540
Make sure to knock all the weld splatter bb's out of it before running it though seen a couple circle track engines smoked because of them I had to cut the baffles out of one to clean it properly and there was some real junk trapped under the baffles and it had never been ran or fitted was new out the box
Thank you 😊
"Attention span", very well said, really thanks!!!
Cool build
Loving this series. I reckon the 598 weighs around 260kg
Going to be a fun car with a 454 😍
i love a big black box sometimes
Cheers Woza!🍻
At the end of the video when you asked which came first the chicken or the egg, I thought it would have been the rooster!!

Heckin' Roger mate, star of the show
Looks like the engine fits pretty nicely. But where will you mount the turbos?
276kg I'd guess. Best channel on CZcams lads
302 kg ! This is going to be a fun little series !
Love your work, I'm thinking 276kg
Insane I luv it ! Where du get your tesa loom tape seems like some dodgy stuff out there
Looks like you should space it up as high as possible to give some clearance under that glide and get the primary headers above the control arms. Not going under the bonnet anyhow.
BBC... I'd expect nothing less from a guy called Woody
Twin turbos facing back to back and a 6" exhaust pipe, clock the turbos to the I take and put 2 big filters and it's a monster for fuel
Yeah, but I reckon he will be ok w/o 3000hp.
Greetings from Southwest Texas 🇺🇸
Is it worthwhile doing a strut conversion to the front, seeing as though you have to do a rack conversion anyway ???.....would allow a lot more clearance for the primaries, and would increase the handling and support of the weight of the BBC. If you're going to this much trouble, may as well make it easy to change plugs etc'.....
226.796 Kg
The build is looking good!
Loving the tunes
Hey fellas, just wondering if we are going to get to see the Super cox run at some point?
17:53 I don't know what that is, but it looks like a GM Opel or something. Now that is an amazing looking ride! Might be one of the best I have ever seen looks wise of that model.
Its not an opel kadett C which I thought, maybe a mazda coupe? Lots of cars from that eara look alike
@@b.w.9392 True. I miss the old days before everyone went mad with rules and regulations. The best thing about the future? They can't stop us from stamping and even printing out our own designs with our own hands.
I'm actually looking forward to rust and metal repair work. I want something so darn American it screams "Hee HAA!" every time I drive it. Have a good one Bro!
looking forward to the start up on this build 285.4 kg
"a swift dip of his pinky" LMFAO absolute gold!!
Will the car need updated suspension to handle the extra heft of that monster of an engine and/or the chassis strengthened to handle the extra power?? Looks like ground clearance might be an issue too. Can’t wait to see the journey and end result, will be awesome
350kgs I rekon
Will be an absolute montser when finished can't wait
It looks like a sump for a Hk may work as it's a centre sump as well
307.63kg's, love the videos guys
What is the song from the first fitting montage? The upbeat harmonica jazz thingy? Also love the build so far. 💪
I am going to guess about 338KG fully dressed. Love the build guys!
Dolomite Grey paint yeh? This build series is going to be very handy to me. I'm doing a 7m to tr6060 S1 sequential with a NPC dual plate conversion on me ms45 crown
287.6Kg, But how can we not forget the mammoth task of the 6BT into the Patrol. You Son is gonna be the hit of his Formal when you rock up in this 👍
If I had to guess I'd say about 220kg. Also I love y'alls content. Y'all are a very underrated channel.
280kgs. This series is gunna be mint!
would the electric steering rack from a Prius fit? keeping the purity (ok, so other than a big block. lol) as Martin would say. this would also save the room taken up by the power steering pump? maybe keep the hydraulic rack but to save space run a remote mounted electric power steering pump?
I'm guessing 293kg, really enjoying the content.
Very cool
310kg give or take.
Nice to know how it's going to be laid out. What rear driveline are you going to go with?
326
At a guess 305kg. Another epic build incoming, can't wait.
Guessing about 246kg, fills out that engine bay nicely 👌
Ooh I was looking forward for a 1uz or a 2jz or a century v12.....cried me a river bro, but hey it your car al, ace bro!
Have a look at Finnigens Chanel on the close ratio big block log manifolds.
287.5kg - also Friendlyjorides is a legend.
BBC weight I'd guess 250kg with that crank.
You're making a great case for 3-D scanning your engines & cars. There's a few inexpensive options that use just phone pictures or an old Xbox kinnex device. I've seen people get within 1mm once they scale it a hair.
I've got a feeling all iron big block Chevs were around the 250kg mark (550 lbs), so with the alloy bits on this i'm going with 220kg
223 kgs. Hell yeah, now thats a v8. Well done. Great ideas.
Take your time and make it great.
Can’t wait to see it finished that will weight at least 304 kgs
Seeing as there is many cars with electric steering nowadays is there some options there that may make your choice easier, is that an option?
good I like the hard out builds boys
How good are the plasma fumes up the snoz
274 kg for the win. I'm concerned for your oil pan sump relocation plans. The oil pump on the Chevy Rat is within an inch or so from the bottom of the pan so I don't see you being able to move the sump to the middle. I hope I am wrong.
You are right about the oil pump issue. I am making a dual well sump with bypasses between the two.
Awesome weasel jazz boys!
I'm going to guess about 213kg as it swings lol love the chanel 👌❤️
