I had the same problem with my dipstick. I used a flexible one from eBay with braided stainless steel and works great
Good to know! I got a flexible Lokar one that I need to install.
I usually put marking paint or white out on the torque converter pads. With spacer installed. Offset it from the original bolts, set it on flexplate. Now I know where to drill
That's a really good tip!
Love your camera views super clean and clear
Thanks for watching Peggy!
I’ll be honest the way you put that trans in was pretty brilliant.
Thanks Matt!! Appreciate you watching ♥️
love the build!! glad to see progress. Few things love the sketchy way of putting the transmission in lol. you need to scratch a W next to the K on the fire wall. Then you can definitely install a lokar dipstick tube in the transmission while it is in.
Thanks Wilson Garage! Appreciate you showing my your lokar flex on the 2v, it's a nice unit! I've always wondered about the k on the firewall. Decided not to paint the engine bay just because of that lol.
Love the nova
Thanks Jim!
Your is what I was looking for thanks for All your time I really enjoy it and the transmission was neat way to install it but this my first time seeing of your video I’m looking for the engine mounts how you did it I have a 406 sbc thinking of ls now thanks again for sharing
We did dirty dingo sliders and moroso solid mounts that attached to SBC frame stands. Thanks for watching!
Great content new subscriber because of the step brothers joke lmao and I want to ls swap a nova
Aye 🤣 thanks for checking us out ❤️
Awesome Video buddy. Love the content and videos
Thanks Jace! Appreciate your support and watching the video ♥️
More Nova man I need motivation to go buy a transmission and turbo kit for my 5.3 nova
After Christmas, it's time to blow the dust off and get her finished!
@@Autofaze hell yeah merry Christmas!
I would have jacked up the body, separated the frame pulled it out and installed it where you can get to everything.
Sounds like more work. there is always multiple ways to do things when wrenching! appreciate you checking us out!
@@Autofaze I enjoy the content. Keep it up buddy. I know it's expensive. I gotta do the same thing and that's my plan. But I have access to a lift. May be the difference.
@@fasfgasdfagadsf with a lift that would definitely be so much easier. Appreciate you watching!
That buzz sound scared the hell out of me. Lol
hahahaha! Thanks for watching Romi!
I’m watching others now you are the man
aye! Appreciate the love! Thanks for watching
Congrats
Thanks for watching!
What engine mounts are you using
Good job. Not one sparkplug or oil pressure sending unit broken or harmed in this video.
Almost my garage light bulb though haha! Thanks for watching!
Hey man. What motor mounts did you use for this? So many options out there? Love the video dude. Going through this swap now
Hey Skinny! Moroso sbs stands and dirty dingo sliders! I hope your project is going well!!
He’s wearing welder gloves. He knows what he’s doing
Those are just rubber gloves 🤣🤣
Get rid of all those chain links on your cherry picker. All you really need is the hook, that will get you at least 6 inches more of clearance.
just the hook would not clear the intake
MORE NOVA CONTENT!
After Christmas 🎄 it's time to get her going!
What’s the paint satin black?
Hot rod satin black! Thanks for watching Jason
Next go around bolt tranny to motor remove crossmember you will thank me next time trust me
that is a good option for sure but being solo this time and the car being on cribs I thought it was easier to do it this way! Thank you for watching!
did u but a swap kit that came with headers oil pan and engine mounts or did u buy all separately? if so any links to products used? i have a 71 nova and wana swap a 5.7 ls1 with a 200 4r trans soon
Hey! thanks for watching. I pieced everything separately.
Mounts: sliders amzn.to/37rKzND and moroso solid frame stands
Holley oil pan: www.holley.com/products/engine/oil_pans/engine_swap_oil_pans/parts/302-3
Headers, the link is on the vid if I recall.
Good luck on your swap!
Thank you bro for the reply I'm just about ready to pull my 350 and put in the 383 stroker LS me and my bro been building .. mabey I'll upload a vid thanks again
What's your solution for the passing gear?
Downshift to 2nd!
I wonder how true the flexplate is now ive tried doing something similar to this it did not work killed the tranny pump an cracked the flexplate
Did you install the spacer? Also if you used a larger boost valve in transmission (shift kit), you should always switch to hardened steel or stainless pump rings. Because of the added line pressure.
Tons of guys doing this on junkyard builds without any issues!
Done this lots of times with no issues
Where did you get those lift blocks from….did you have to put a block under your jack to get it that high??
Are you talking about the wheel cribs?
I think I put a piece of 2x4, if I remember right under the trans.
