Adapt ANY Engine to ANY Transmission!

- Don't limit your choice of transmission to the engine you already have. It's simpler than you think to adapt the transmission you want to the engine you have. It just takes some (relatively) simple equipment and ingenuity.
This is part 1 of adapting a Jaguar XK6 engine to a Chevy T5 transmission, but the methods that I use are essentially the same with any other combination.

One piece of advice from someone who has made many engine/transmission adaptations: centering the mill with the pilot bearing as shown is a good starting point, but you should absolutely sweep the flywheel with a dial indicator to ensure absolutely centered. At some place on every flywheel there will be some sort of bore or boss that you can take a reading with. Usually the bore that mates to the crankshaft is the best place. Even a cheap $12 indicator will get you much closer than relying on the pilot bearing bore which can vary or slop by as much as .005". Not so critical on diesel engines that run under 2000 RPM, but very important to crankshaft and bearing life on most gasoline engines. An out of center flywheel can usually be balanced to run smooth, but there will still be a certain amount of harmonics that the crankshaft must now absorb. Older cast iron crankshafts will be in danger of stress cracking in a long running setup. 5 minutes of detail could save hundreds of dollars and hours of headache.
*dozens of thousands of dollars
agreed , and also you can get exact X and Y coordinates for the bolt circle using any cad pgm or do the math
I have to chime in to agree with Pcs Machineworks. As a third generation engine re builder machinist I cringed a little when he centered the mill.
I feel guilty criticizing him though because the video, the editing, the idea etc was superb!
Dad bought a new 67 Ford with a 4 spd that lost several clutches after very few miles , 3 or 4 as I remember ( replaced by warrantee) . This went on until someone
actually measured the difference in runout between the I.D. of the bell housing and the crankshaft . It was off by " alot " . Oop's to someone at Ford , the bellhousing
was replaced and the problem went away . Accuracy is important .
Jaguar, Ford, Chevy... if anything his tolerances will be an improvement!
Bolting Jaguar, Ford and Chevy parts together is enough to cause a rip in the fabric of time and space, or give a mechanic a brain hemorrhage when he tries to order parts. Nice combo.
Nah. I had a Ford 5 ton that kept eating 351’s. Put in a GM 454 and it just kept on running.
More recently I replaced the 6.0 pos in my F250 with a 12v 5.9 Cummins. Truck could finally do a thousand miles without a trip to the mechanic.
I wish all youtube comments had this amount of comedy HAhaha! thankyou sr.
That's hotrodding 101
What about Johnny cash 1 peice at a time ?
I love so much this comment 🤩 LMAO
True old school hot rodding. Making custom parts pre CNC style, badass.
I have no illusions of ever attempting this type of project, but your concise and clear style caught and held me from start to end. You are a builder, problem solver, and machinist, but best of all a teacher. Well done.
Agree
HENRY would have been proud to have you on his team 👍🔧🔧🔧🔧
well said
40+ years of electrifying restorations, customs and hot rods has taught me many things. One of those things is don't ever make the mistake of telling a hot rodder "it" can't be done. They will do "it" just to prove you wrong.
Yeah, I know that. Quite a few things I might not have done except for someone telling me I couldn’t do it. Or even BETTING me I couldn’t do it.
( nice clutch )
@@michaelszczys8316 That's sort of how I got corralled into reproducing wire looms for the Citroen D Series. I was at a club event, and I was having a few beers with a few of my compadres. The subject of wiring and the state of the art of current reproductions (they absolutely sucked), and then current need came up. Two of them were "well, yeah, but" and my friend Wally (I miss that dude) spoke up: "You're Hotrodelectric! Go do it!!"
Nesety is the mother of invention
So they did something to prove someone wrong? Meaning they fell into the trap of doing something for someone out of spite. Haha. "Hey I built what you said couldn't be done!" .... "oh thats nice, who cares....."
@@MyKonaRC Yah, you missed my point entirely. I'm not surprised.
“If it can be done, then why can’t I do it?” You should hang that quote on the wall! Excellent work, young man! 👍

Dude, I did not expect to be inspired
Your the guy that gives the autozone clerk a headache
You have to have a brain to have a headache
Idk, its pretty easy to give them a headache, last conversation about a repair i was doing i was replacing the gasket on the waterpump, had the guy get me a gasket and as i was buyinh it "so what are you working on?" "Replacing the waterpump and waterpump gasket, some idiot used a ton of rtv instead of the $5 gasket so its leaking all over the place, decided to replace the waterpump too while im at it" "so your waterpump is bad?" "No just the gasket cause it was improperly installed" "oh, well shouldn't you be getting more oil then?" "What? The water pump pushes the coolant not the oil" "well we sell freon right there, not sure why you need this gasket if its the waterpump thats going bad" the conversation degradded from there
@@kiyosenl.3889 lmfao.. this is why i never shop there as a mechanic.
@@rickylafleur5823 i prefer to order on rock auto but i do doordash for a living and my ranger has bad a/c and broken window motors and is slow and a manual so its a pain to use for delivery so when the waterpump in my saturn started dumping coolant everywhere i wanted it fixed asap (thenbi stripped the pully bolts and spent a week trying to get them off
@@kiyosenl.3889 That is why I always try to go in there with the part numbers ready to go.
2010 Internet: "You can't do this!"

Very inspirational, thank you so much!
It feels good sticking it to armchair theorists/experts/mechanics!
Haha, sometimes I stumble upon old automotive forums and will find posts from people from around 2007 and it makes me cringe on how bad the misinformation was back when CZcams wasn't that big. Theres definitely a ton of "You could never do that/ thats impossible/ you'll blow up your motor" etc. 😆
When you're very young you always seem to be looking up to older people doing amazing things, now at 60 I get so much enjoyment seeing such young talent being developed and wonder what they will achieve next, this is magnificent work, well done.
Great to have you watching!
Agreed.
That nake you the shit Sir
this guys doin crazy stuff while im stuck trying to find a replacement locking bolt for my rear suspension XD last time i wasnt picky i lost an arm at the track and wrecked haha
Same here I am 66 and enjoying what I did in the 70s. I love it wish there was youtube then
i took a job in 87...for a company...in place machining ...it soon got to me that i had not ever thought of doing field machining of things just too big to take to a shop....so...if needed the owners would custom design a machine or adapt an existing one...to do about any job...it made me a believer in the slogan
IF YOU CAN IMAGINE IT...YOU CAN BUILD IT!
my boss told me...if we can buy it...we buy it...if not we make it...they had castings made from molds they built...and at times fabricated some expensive machines just to do a job that was presented...this made the owners a good chunk of cash...no matter...endless workaholics...constantly in demand...
think out of the box...but also remain practical...and success will follow !
It's sad that American ingenuity has faded so far into obscurity😞
I'm not a machinist or a mechanic but this was amazing to watch. True craftsmanship!
Man, I really enjoyed watching your work. And inventiveness. I'm an old 'geezer gearhead' from the late 50s into the 60s. I never had equipment quite that good when I was doing the king of stuff that your doing. Oh, I liked the 'old fashioned ' hand taping of threads. I still use hand type taps and dies. Thank you for posting this video. It brought back many memories for me from 60 yrs. ago. (77 yr. old geezer gearhead)
This is the beauty of having a Mill and a Lathe in your shop.
In a perfect world we'd all have our own.
@@KowboyUSA Ain't that the truth brother!
most definately helps to have those machine shop tools!
I'm listening...
@@KowboyUSA though they are expensive. But they look so good, just looking at it is amazing.
“If it can be done, then why can’t I do it?” No better quote to describe any of the work you have ever done Vince. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey my man, I am a Certified Master Diesel Mechanic & Machinist. I gotta tell you, you made it accessible and easy to understand. Love your skills and your machine tools!!!!
And this is why Bridgeport mills are still very popular.
Johnny Cash - One Piece At A Time - “ the transmission was a ‘53 and the motor turned out to be a ‘73 and when we went to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.”
“So we drilled it out so that it would fit and with a little bit of help from an A-DAPTER KIT we had it running just like a song”
skip the " johnny cash" part ! you obviously feel personally challenged or better known as "jealousy" by this extremely smart and capable young man! he earned the respect , so give it to him ! maybe its time to go get your harbor freight catalog and get started mikey!!
@@marioncobaretti2280 Maybe it's time for you to take your chill pill Mary!! I don't think Michael meant any disrespect by quoting Johnny Cash - Great song that goes perfectly with this great video.
@@marioncobaretti2280 What part of those lyrics was, in any way, offensive? It's a song about a guy doing exactly what this video is about...
marion cobaretti you sir need to get a life
marion cobaretti somebody needs to switch their non fat soy latte to decaf. Just go ahead and change your name to Karen and save us the trouble of talking to you.
Hey Vince. We are all counting on you to single-handedly bring back manufacturing to the United States. I’m pretty sure you can pull that off working nights and weekends while you’re studying engineering. I’m looking forward to your first video on your master plan for saving us all.
I was a machinist in 1979-82 making landing gear parts for 747s and Navy fighters ..this video reminds me of those old days of real Craftsmanship ...good work young man !
You do a great job with limited tools which is the thrill of the achievement. Thanks. Your confidence is contagious. By the way, I am a retired machinist, 40+ years.
I did this 50 years ago. I had a Hemi with an adapter to a early ford transmission. I cut off the ford transmission bell housing and made an adapter plate to mount a Packard transmission. I worked great no more broken gears.
And no CZcams clips to show you how to do it makes it even more impressive. Sit on a milk crate, light up a Camel, spread the parts out on the ground and figure it out. Old school smarts, best kind.
@John Doe Just break the filter off a Marlboro Red and you'll have it.
curbmassa couldn’t tell you which is a more fond memory this or holding the flashlight while my dad yells at me
Apparently, not enough people told you that it couldn't be done, ha.
People post on media all the time as if they were the pioneers of something. Its fabrication and machining. That's awesome
A lot of young guys don't want to learn about anything mechanical ? Or even go outside ? When I was in high school in the 70s all my buddies and me we were all motor heads . Cars , motorcycle ,and anything that was mechanical !!! Keep Learning you already know more about this than most older men that have worked on car's
Keep up the good work !!!!!
We still are it’s just mechanical program’s in high school where replace by advance placement classes.
Tell me where you can learn about it Larry alot of places wont let you work on your own car in your own dtiveway/parking spot.... I never had shop in high school
Tyler Gladys thank god I live In the ghetto. Everyone works on their on the streets. Lol that’s how I’m building my Jeep xj 4x4 Conversion
Having recently binge-watched your entire series of speedster videos, I amazed at your skill in design and fabrication, and have learned a great deal from you already. I will be looking forward to future videos, and wish you success on the rest of the project .
WTF... who in hell disliked this video!! People just cannot be thankful for learning something amazing like this.
Please don't listen to these fools man, keep them coming. Your content is great. I would have never thought it was possible, in fact just the fact you tried it is awesome, most people with all their "learning" already know it cannot be done, and so of course it cannot be done.
"If it can be done, then why can't I do it." Best statement ever.
You don't have the gift you don't have the mindset nor the tools nor the attention span the day you have this that's the day you will be able to do it also. But I like to think whatever you do it is equally impressive perhaps not to you but to anybody that sees what you do they can try but they won't be able to do what you do because you have all that it takes to do what you do God bless you friend
Just because it can be done doesn’t mean that it should be
Bellhousing adapters and custom mounts are one thing, but to have the right or compatible splines, gear ratios, etc. is another thing.
Also if the car has ecm, it will need the settings to be adjusted / modified to work.
I still do like the idea of custom fitting things to work.
followed by "how hard can it be?"
4:14 as a fellow machinist, I understand your joy. Ive been watching since the the beginning of the tank project, and you inspire me so much! You are truly amazing.
Just caught this video and want to find the series on the tank! Impressive young man.
This randomly popped up in my feed. Watched less that 30 seconds then scrolled through your past videos, subscribed - will start binge watching immediately.
I am not a wrench turner, I just happened across this video and thought I wanted to watch how to make that conversation and why. I love the video because you don’t have the fancy tools. You just use what you have and got the job done. Thumbs up looking forward to part 2.
I like the attitude of "If somebody else can do it why can't I", it has been my view for years. I may not get it right first time, it may not look as slick but I will learn from the experiance and at the end I can say I did it with my skills and not just payed for it. All about the journey not the destination.
I really appreciate the mindset that comes with you machinists. I'm more of a macro, do it on the fly, if it's got a little slop whatever, kind of guy. I'll drill something by hand instead of taking the time to clamp it into a drill press, kind of guy. What you do takes an entirely new mindset that should never go underappreciated.
WOW! What an awesome craftsman! The level of skill needed for what you accomplished is only held by few people on this entire planet. Congratulations for your gift.
this is genuinely one of the best videos I've watched this year and it was super informative and interesting.
Who in their right mind would put a thumbs down on this? Oh I forgot human nature....jealous, petty, knit picky. Great job on this, I love your determination.
it's just a constant reminder, never take common sense as a common.
They didn't realize they accidentally hit thumbs down.
Reasonable people that does not like making stuff more complicated shan they should be. Wy he haven't used Chevy bell housing? That would fit plug&play to this transmission?
"...we do things not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

you can use this energy to do more fruitfull tasks, I know that things like that are made to enjoy maker and watchers, but there are some limits IMO.
When I started watching this build from the beginning.., I said to myself, This kid is going to build his own hot rod / boat tail racer from scratch.., "This should be good for a few laughs.. How wrong was I ???
I broke the cardinal rule of judging a book by its cover. You never cease to amaze me young man, I gave up questioning you, your abilities, limits and your approach a long time ago, these days I'm just along for the ride. Kudos to you.,, amazing work and craftsmanship!👏👏👏👏👏👏 Jaguar to Ford... Ford to Chev..., After watching this video.. If you told me that you were going to weld a new ass on a cat, I'd believe you
Stay safe, I'm always looking forward to the next chapter
I totally understand where you’re coming from on that, although I waited to see his work first this time since people have done it to me too. 😂 He’s quite the craftsman!
Iv subbed for quite a while
Seeing his other builds i knew this wasn't going to be a soap box racer
But his skills have advanced so much during this build its quite extraordinary
I did a similar job several years ago and the time and commitment are well worth it. This man has well deserved honors.
This is what happens when a machinist gets into cars, my buddy is definitely going down the same path
And?
Okay, you are the smartest and most talented guy in the room. It is refreshing to see a young man such as yourself express himself on camera. Your knowledge of your machines is quite impressive. My hat is off to you young machinist.
Here's a pat on your back. You are one truly talented young man. As to the 47 thumbs down, forget-a-bout it. I suspect they just couldn't follow what you were doing. I'm ready for part two.
I'm an enthusiast when it comes to manual transmissions. I basically want to put a manual transmission on all vehicles I see, especially on ones that are not offered originally from the manufacturer or dealer.
This video keeps my dream alive. Thank you.
Lots of very helpful tips and procedures here to extrapolate to other applications. The way the sharpened bolt was used to mark the hole location in the adapter is brilliant.
"I dont have the fanciest tools..." *me looking at the mill and lathe
IKR??
I got a mini mill...that's about it.
@@psygnale worse i have files and chisels as my machine tool
A mill and a lathe simply allow you to do it faster, you can do all the same work with simpler tools and the right motivation.
If your even half serious about getting into this sort of hobby you would want to be buying a simple lathe and mill anyways
@@adjustablehammer3749 im thinking of a 12 shaper but yeah for now files and chisels and hacksaw learnt alot know the limitation how to overcome it .
Why spend good money buying it when you can make it. You have an absolute treasure in a well-appointed machine shop right there in front of you. Well done, you fledgling engineer, you.
This was fairly common practice back when we could not buy much off the shelf. Some did it properly, some did not. So it's good to see a young guy doing this and doing it well.
Discovering this as I lay here recovering from my vasectomy, it’s a joy to watch you work sir. Thanks for the video!
Nuthin' to it. Just take a 50 pound block of aluminum and cut away the 45 lbs. you don't need.

He's so resourceful, I thought he might cast it - make a polystyrene model, bury in sand, add a funnel & pour in molten aluminium... I've seen it done, but not by me...
Literally all there is to it!
Definitely going to be watching for part two.
My Dad Did this kind of thing all the time back in the 1950s through early 80s putting 455 Olds motors in a variety of different farm tractors, a 392 Hemi in an International Loadstar truck with a grain box on it, straight 6 Ford in a Mercedes, and so many more.
I never watched enough of it (in the later years when I worked in the shop with him) to have a Clue as to how he did any of them, he just "Made it Happen" and they were "Done"
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!! I kept commenting on all the vids on other channels trying to get someone to make THIS vid! thanks for making it happen!
I don't often comment on people doing projects but you my man are like me you take you're time and do it right until it is possible. Great work friend.
"If it can be done. Then why cant I do it?" Good strategy dude!
put a magnet base on the crank and dial indicate the bellhousing to find center. and that is a critical measurement
Yeah if you are out by 0.001" that will cause a bad vibration, even if you get the gearbox input shaft into the crankshaft bearing. Could have machined & installed the gearbox adaptor plate, mounted the gearbox to the bell housing then marked & drilled the belhousing /engine adaptor plate might have got closer. Time will tell when it is run I suppose. Anyway looking good.
@@petermurphy3354 When i was racing late models I machined and adapter that bolted to the crank and centered on the pilot bushing and had a ring that centered on the bell housing. There could be as much as 1/8" difference between different bell housings so after using the adapter we put offset dowels in the block.
the slop in the pilot bearing will more than make up for it. I saw his centering pin in the middle of the bearing and chuckled.. I bet it will still be smoother than some of the manufacture. I am wondering of the flywheel. Giant flywheels went on the benz style cranks.. like boxer engines. He does not need half of that. This will change his adapter thickness going lightweight.Awesome engineering at home. much respect.
Yes, center line alignment of crank shaft and trans input shaft is critical. Also, removing the pilot bearing and dialing that bore in
on the mill and then triging out your pressure plate bolt pattern on the x y axis will give you assured concentricity of the pressure
plate to the crank shaft. More accurate than scribing a line and transfer punching. Will save on throw out bearings too. Am also
thinking that the adapter piece he is talking about at 23:38 will have to come off as the flat head starter has to bolt directly to the
bell housing. Very ingenious young man though and not intimidated by the task. PS, Don't know if he has a dro on his mill but
if not, he should always account for back lash.
@@jerrytalley337 it will also eat trans input bearings and clutch disc
This is badass. Excited for the next video. Really want to see this start up and see just how sturdy your build is! Looks great so far.
I always thought that most any engine can mated up to most any transmission. You just proved that. Amazing patience and machining. Thumbs Up!
Man I wish I had access to this type of equipment. I would definitely be doing a lot more with my builds. Good work and props to you for not only stepping up to do this type of work but putting your work out there for the rest of us to see! Keep building bro!
You may not have the fanciest tools, but you sure do have the ingenuity and perseverance! Much respect to you, young Sir! I can't wait to watch you drive this thing!
Very clever technique for this. I like that you’re keeping a part of the legendary flathead alive in your build. I have 3 of these engines one of which is nestled in the frame rails of my 1940 Ford pickup.
That center finding bolt trick was genius. I'm remembering that one.
Really appreciate the explanation of what you're doing. Makes this one of your best videos yet.
Wow, That's old school machine shop and auto shop skills. I wish this was still taught in high school.
It's called a Technical high School. I heard at the one I went to the auto shop kids cant work on real customers cars anymore because they screwed up a brake job and caused an accident. Guys who went to Machine Tool make a killing now and there's no shortage of work around here plus no student debt. Electrical, HVAC, Auto shop, Auto body, Plumbing, Health tech, Salon, Architectural drafting, Aircraft mechanic, Diesel, Carpentry, Culinary. welding. probably more. Some will make your parents crap their pants when they see the price on the tool list. Worth every penny. Just choose something you like and you can make money if your not a dumb ass.
he dont need no stinkin' CNC Lathe,Milling machine!!
I've been wanting to do something similar like this for ages but with different parts. Saw some old timer mechanics do this back in 1991 with an old Honda engine with Ford and Chevrolet parts with their own custom made adapter parts. Not sure how they did their own process on the adapters but I remember the car they stuck it in ran for quite some time.
Kudos to you on doing this sort of thing as I'm glad there are other people out there that go outside of the box!
I’ve been a mechanic for a long time this is good to see that people take the time to do the right thing👍
Back in the 60's when we were racing SCCA, a friend of mine took a 2.4 Jag and cut it down to a 4 cylinder for a sports racer he built. He was a real craftsman, the car and the engine were beautiful, but it never went fast- too many ideas packed into one car meant endless troubles.
Have you seen Milyard's work? Everything he builds is daily driver ready, and 100% factory spec reliable somehow. There is no explanation for how his work is so immaculate.
@John Morgan This was the 60's dude.
@John Morgan You are thinking of a hot rod- I am talking about a sports racer- that is a class of racing cars- C sports racing was cars up to 1.3 liters, B sports racing was up to 2 liters and A sports racing was unlimited ( Can Am)
@@Ritalie Some of that is due to him carefully picking the technologies he works with. The 4 -> 6 cylinder Kwak is a great example of this, it used a split crankshaft with roller bearing big ends (so easy bearing clearancing) so each throw of the crank was a separate piece. All he had to do was dismantle 2 crankshafts and press 6 throws together to make a 6 cylinder crankshaft, no machining needed at all. It also had press/shrink fit cylinder liners so they could be removed while he lengthened the block.
@@mememaster147 Good info. That makes a lot of sense. I think the XS650 can be converted to a 180 degree engine if you change the crank halfs. But what is the Kwak? Which bike is that?

FYI a bees wax stick really helps when band sawing aluminum
haven't heard of that before, but I'll keep it in mind
It lubricates and keeps the teeth from clogging. Basically any soft metal. They sell them at Grangers or McMasters or you could just use a beeswax candle
Bar soap works also.
Or a candle...works for grinding discs too
@@MacroMachines Any wax, or really anything that a) doesn't get sticky, b) is soft enough to move, and c)will stay put on cold metal well enough to fill the pocket of the cutting teeth so swarf can't pack in there and attract more.
I love your no fear man. I certainly hope you are studying engineering. You can build what you design and understand the process. Very rare commodity in Engineering these days. Enjoy your videos.
Nice work. You really show how this opens up a lot of engine/transmission/engine options, great video!
G'day from West Australia, as a 3rd gen Engineer I AM impressed with the methodical methods used!!!
Hat comes off to you young man, and 2 thumbs up to go with it!!!😉🙂👍👍
You are a skilled young man. Great job. It's really good to see this being done by a young lad. Awesome work and a big job.
I'm impressed with your consistency and precision. I couldn't drill a hole within a few thousands of an inch to save my life. Not to mention two holes!
Man , it's good to see someone your age so enthusiastic about working with your hands and getting the task done, you don't see that very much these days
I know it’s just me and my OCD but I was cringing thinking of shavings getting into the pilot bearings, lol. You are a real gear head hero! Awesome as heck video!!!
I have put T-5 transmissions behind a lot of different engine. They are great transmissions.
This Statement Has Been Fact Checked To Be True!!!
Keep Rocking it out Brother!!!
My father put a T-5 in his 67 Mustang. It originally had a 3 speed automatic. I imagine it was pretty simple in that application.
Until you destroy 3rd gear. Despite that minor set back, I just keep buying them from the junkyard and running them until the gears explode.
This is oddly soothing to watch - even though I have no plans of ever doing such a job.
Man the tank in the background was just the cherry on top at the end! This is some incredible work!
Nice to see that, even in the age of automation and computers taking over everything, some people still know how to make stuff the "old fashined way"... by hand! Very nicely done!
Great video! Keep up the good work, very clear and concise. Nice to see someone build something with conventional machines.

I would use a small pan head bolt to retain the flywheel dowel pins from working out and destroying your clutch or crank. The heat and vibration will work those pins out at anytime!
just use loctite
i was just thinking about this channel today and... sure enough a new video! sweet!
Very nice balance of mechanical art & precision machining here. As soon as the big lump of 1&1/2 Inch alloy appeared I was thinking it was about to be special CNC mill time, but no.. out comes band-saw and greasy finger paper instead.!. Even if I don't get around to any serious auto engine modding, I can surely pick up on some fabrication & machining tricks here. Good work !
Great work. I find it funny hearing and seeing people say only certain transmissions can go with certain engines. Even when they are already using mix n match electronics. No mention of adapter plates or anything.
Keep it up man.
Great piece of work there mate, beautifully done. In the growing world of computer operated 3D printing it's great to see someone employing good old machining skills using lathes, milling machines, drills, steel rulers, vernier calipers and innovation. Well done.
Spectacular engineering. Beautiful work. Billy J.... Australia.
Very good work. It's obvious a lot of careful planning has been used. Really enjoyed your home made centering tool for the blind hole.
Good job. There's allot of people looking for someone like you and what you do.
You are one intelligent young man! You have skills and knowledge. I was wondering how the outside of that plate looks like it was CNC machined. Pay close attention to centerline of driveline components. Looking forward to next video.
This is why, as expensive as adapters are, they are still cheap.
@@birkinsornberger263 Maybe because they can be made to work for anything.
@@opinionsvary What I find hilarious is that you are here watching this video and commenting on it despite trying to say that you are more intelligent or know what you are doing better than the individual doing it... Please do tell me how to be a more professional hypocrite!!!
@@MrClaypogue "how to be a more professional hypocrite!!!" = Vote Democrat ROFL
@@jtthill5475 lmaooo 🤣 bro u win the internet for today!
Dude, serious props! Everytime you said, "it's simple," I be like 🤯
I’m glad to see that some of today’s youth are using brains to do something that isn’t supposed to be done, as they say why do it, because why not? Great job young man!!!
