Building $200 motor mounts out of scrap metal👌
Vložit

- The big block engine officially fits in the 1940 Ford but now we need motor mounts. We looked at buying them (roughly $200 CAD) but we'd have to wait for them to arrive so Bad Chad is going to make them using some scrap metal we have laying around the shop. Meanwhile, Doug is going to mount the gas tank on the 1936 Hudson 👌

A vision in your head coming to life on your garage floor. Build it like you want , want it like you build it. Sweet car. Thanks for letting us come along.
Chad step your drilling in .metal. it's easier to drill if you go from small diameter up to the size you need
You should have put a pilot hole first when drilling into steel then use your big drill bit
@@yambo59 I did hear Chad say he has a drill press but could not be bothered to use it I am sure that is what he said
Maybe when u go to a car show, look at big motor hot rods and see how thick mounts are that’s made in-house !
Chad, why don't you invest in a couple vices? I can't believe that you don't have any. Also, a set of torches.
The Hotwheels car will look great, but you don't need to have the engine sit that high to have the air scoop where you want it.
Sit the engine lower in the chassis and use risers above the carbs to get the airscoop where you need it to be.
That would be to easy.
Yeh, I agree how the air scoop sits on the bonnet does not dictate where the engine sits, isn't the air scoop just an add on
That's allot of cutting on the frame. Structural integrity?
Show car not race car
Do you even watch? They’ve already discussed putting new bracing in.
Of course you must realize they are not going to leave that frame looking like swiss cheese. When Nate is done beefing it up, it will be a true work of art, and strong enough for that motor.
Hey all! Sure is nice to have all the tools you need made available, probably half the battle! Engine finally has it's resting place , hope it goes smooth the rest of the way. Good job all around everyone and hi Fina girl!
Gotta watch those metal shavings , theyll do a number on Finas paws 🐾
Too bad that car won’t be drivable. Would have been cool
Nonsense
🤪
The pumpkin is off-center because of the placement of the ring and pinion, but one axle is usually longer than the other also. If a driveshaft was completely straight, the needles would never turn and they would wear out the caps and the four-way Trunion.Along that same order,I had a Plymouth belvedere years ago that the engine was intentionally offset because of the steering box. It wasn’t anybody’s rigging, it was a factory alteration. Blame it on Chrysler!
I hope you have palnned for scatter proof firewall because even if you like it that way, it is too far back and if it blows JOlene is gloing to be sad. Also I hope you have great plans to beef up that chasey with a blown motor, I love the idea that you live dangerously and the fron fork front end????????????????????????????????????????? But I will keep watching because I love your work
This is the one car that needed channeled..over the frame: to make the engine look to sit higher.up
When it comes to being mechanically inclined, Chad just don't get it.
🥱🤡
I would like to see you do what he does
Oh dam a nother expert, lol there are many ways things can be done. Just because it not by book or the way other do , doesn't mean it will not work. It is funny how these people become experts, but yet can't fabricate a book self with out video or diagram. But it will talk crap about poeple who actually build things for living, it go to show , how trained they are to never go out side the box. Lol 🤣
Hallelujah
I'd put a rear sump oil pan, and a 69-71 Ford Tornado c4 bellhousen, If you need one I have one, cuts the tranny space in half and the oil pan will allow the engine to drop way down. I did a 40 coup
The 3 degrees or whatever it is on the engine angle is to aid in setting the correct pinion angle for the drive shaft. So the angle depends on how you setup the pinion angle on the rear differential
I hate to take time away from any project to hunt for stuff, I call that necessary time, “Rat Killing” 😅. As I commented on Jolene’s Channel way back in the day (when I was a young kid in the 60’s) The Gasser Classes at the drag strips they would set the engine back to get better weight transfer for traction. I remember the old Willy’s Coupes with huge drag slicks, supercharged Hemi’s with the engine sitting back in the driver’s compartment. The Hot Wheels car is a replica of that era. Love the build and dream car !
With the frame being cut up there is no strength to hold the motor in the car. That car is for show only..
Question are using air tool oil, for cutting oil, I saw you, I think put that in the air drill? One or the other isn't the same, it went kinda fast, I think if you would be done by now, you see you didn't save anytime, I'm confused, you would drilled 3 holes in ten minutes, this is like a half hour.
Glad to see you showed how to make parts instead of buying them. Fabricating parts instead of buying parts is rewarding and productive and cost effective. Fifty or sixty years ago hotrodders had to fabricate everything, so Chad is just showing us how the old guys did it.
Better get Nate to do this
Bad chad knows exactly what he’s doing and is a master fabricator !!!!
How about finishing your model car.
In 1963 we had a 1946 ford coupe with an Oldsmobile J2 engine in it, the X frame and closed driveline was a bear to work on,we had an old 3 speed LaSalle transmittion that broke often, later that year we got a 1953 crown victoria with sunroof, it also had the Olds J2 engine but had the hydramatic tranny in it,, no X frame to deal with,, I love this project
I'm a little surprised that Chad and the boys have not put together a plasma table .they are so cheap and easy to put together ,parts are all over the place so are plans and videos on how to do it .I used my spare plasma cutter and junk metal I had laying around ,The other parts I needed where found easily on line and cheap!!! Its my most used peace of equipment in my shop by me and my friends that helped make it
It's great that you're killing the volume when using the noisy tools. This is long overdue and is making watching much more enjoyable. Please continue. 👍🏼
Good idea will save you time and money 👍Go for it Team Hiltz 👁🐅👌
Would love to see Nate work on that Falcon wagon of his. That's a nice car!😁
If your motor is not centered ? Then your blower won't be either! Generally with a misalignment on engine trans and rear end it is due to shifting the trans due to extra components for 4 wheel drives and shafts getting back to the differential hog head.
Take some night classes in welding and learn how to weld it will really help you. Turn up your heat and your wire speed and move faster. You are welding to cold
enjoying every moment love the builds
a rear sump oil pan would cure a lot of fit problems
Wouldn't make a difference, cause that's where ha wants the motor to sit.
Dont forget its a front oil sump so if you tip it back so oil runs back its going the wrong way
You may have to make a baffle in the pan, or run it a half quart over full.
Transmission crossmembers are easy to replace Chad. I would cut the trans crossmember out and get that motor a little lower and you should be good on clearance
Hopefully the mounts will work out good. New tank straps are probably better as well.
Chad is definitely building the 1940 Hot Wheels Replica his way. setting the blown 460 cu. in. engine back into the body and not in the conventional location . He's building his dream car. Us Arm Chair Quarter Backs will have to watch and enjoy daily progress Chad's making and enjoy the process.
Just one point Chad, unlike an under bonnet engine when you have it through the bonnet it has to be straight.
Very good point my man!!!!
I wouldn't tear it apart til you put headers on. May need to cut more floor out for headers. Looking good.
Good point
@@frankmarraro6632lol haha he just might or modify the fk out of them basically making them.
Hey Chad, Jolene, Doug, & Fina, good work everyone!
Some of these comments are hilarious. Stay with your vision, and I can't wait to see the end product! BTW i just saw the Syracuse Nationals banner on the wall, if you guys ever go back to that i like to meet up or perhaps house the crew for the weekend as im only 30 minutes down the road!
your nailing this built....looking good ...oldie but a goodie...love it
I love the process of the car. I love the neat streeter hotwheels car, there r a couple of neat streeters made in different styles like chrome redline , maroon metallic ect.
Also that frame will fine with the way u cut the x beam out. I would just put a nice heavy cross member for tranny mount.
Chad or Joleen we wanted to send u guys something in the mail can u let us know where we send fan mail too. Jon has been working on something for u guys and we r not sure where to mail it. Thanks from Jon and Jen from Pittsburgh Pa
Solid motor mounts are fine.
engine has a lot torque will want to twist the frame.
Keep in mind when reconstructing the frame.
Use a pilot hole first
Cool mounts.
No rubber bushings on the motor mounts?
You can always use carb spacers to raise the scoop up where you want it thus lowering the engine so that the transmission tail shaft aligns better with the rear axle.
too many years of me farming and fixing things after they break when made too light. . I would have used 1/4 plate, maybe 5/16 inch plate and gussets for those mounts. that's a monster sitting on too light of mounts. 3/16 should be ok for a show car or very minimal driving though.
Things happen. Go for the gusto! Find and build.
From my experience with cheap angle grinders is don’t waste your money. Stick with name brands like makita, millwaukea etc. They will outlast the cheap ones 10 times over, and they can generally be repaired if necessary.
Where's jim bo how's about inviting him over for laughs 😄
Lol Jimbo is a trip
Jim Bo is a hoot 😂 I'm thinking that 60s and 70s he partied with the best. I did and were a little bit the same 😂😅
I’d still change that oil filter mounting offset . There’s adapter
The exhaust manifold is going to keep your feet warm.
The pumpkin is off center because of ring gear clearance otherwise the pinion is pretty much on center. Usually!
Hi! Where you will put the rubber to absorb the vibrations?
Actually, the pinion/U joint yolk is almost always down a bit because when you accelerate if the wheels turn forward the rear end wants to twist backward. It might seem odd, but you wouldn’t want a drive shaft 100% in line or the needles would never turn and the trunnion would wear prematurely
It’s going to be such a close fit, and such a tall set up, you might want to make it rigid and not have any mounts,Like a true dragster
That is the joy off fabricating.
Oil makes the bit cut better and last longer.
lol love new seat ,be comfortable
Nice 👍
This car is going to be a monster for sure! The ground shaker! I like the new choc box ford shirts!
Love the car❤
You don't use a center punch?
Can you get a rear sump oil pan and oil pump for the engine. You could lower it much easier with those changes. Looks like the rear headers will be in the cab with you.
should have used a 4 speed manual, that c6 is a monster in comparison
I can see theres going to be some major issues with this build
and at the end when it finished they will all be taken care of.
Hello everyone from upstate ny
Just saying, but motor mounts look to thin and lite. I’d think a thicker metal, that’s a powerful heavy motor !
do any of these vehicles have to be engineered to drive on a public road..In Australia it can be quite a process to do almost any modifications.
Engineeering? Schmengineering! Bad Chad ain't got time for that. He's a bad-ass outlaw builder. He don't need no stinkin' degree to make these sculptures that sit in his 'museum'.
Realy enjoying this build i was wondering Will you face any steering box,column complications and pedle location problems? sure gona get hot in a hurry in the cab and by your feet. hope it all goes well look forward to the next part🙂👍💯
That differential MUST be changed!!
The motor has to fit first🤪
It always cracks me up when Doug's working under a car in the background while Chad's on camera. It sounds like Doug is having a difficult poo.
making the pipes should be fun...that and changing plugs.
Do it your way,weather it's right or wrong that's how you learn.i enjoy the welding
Another fun day in the shop, thanks for sharing
Coming along nicely
I like it 👌
I built a 48 Chevrolet Businessmen Coupe and did the same thing , looked cool but was absolutely horrendous to drive. Ended up a trailer queen to show and start ups with open exhaust dumps behind the front tires.
This is going to end up next to the 50 ford “the not finished grave yard” and another one done this to will bite the dust!
Awesome, Thanks
We call that air/intake/scoop (filter housing) a ‘Bug Catcher’
I agree with you. You are absolutely right to want to have your way with the engine location.
Keep it up guys 😎👍
You guys are Cooler Than Dang It!
Us old school builders on gassers have put the engine back like your doing for a better center of gravity and throws a little more weight back for traction for the old type hard wall slicks that were back 8n the 60s. Neat car looking great
Are you considering the mechanical strength of metal (yield and tensile) used in mfg motor mount?
Nice work, Chad, Jolene, Doug and Nate!!
Chad start out with 1/8” drill bit and then go to your 3/8” bit
Putting the engine back so far, are you going to have to shift it from the backseat?
Wow wow. What. A day. Engine. Will fit. The. Way u want. Motor. Mounts. Custom. Made. Probably. The. Best. Fit. U. Will need. Stability. For. That. Monster. Engine. The. Plate. Is. Strong. Gas. Tank. Fits. Well. New. Straps. Needed. Thanks ❤❤❤❤
Buy yourself a drill press.
Hard to believe he doesn’t have one…look how long it took him to get a decent car trailer. And my final rip, build a steel work table…it would save his back, knees, and time.
He said he has one but wasn't going to dig it out.
He has one. It used to sit in the paint room. Maybe the motor is history?
Art is never wrong. Keep up the great job 👍
that rear end should be OK as long as you only have about 100 horse power
🤣🤣
And how do you know he’s not going to change it ? FFS …
@@John-kl3ue More money. Jolene already freaked about the engine.
Good luck changing spark plugs 😉
You should start with smaller bits and work your way up makes it easier
I so like that engine position spot on, just cut the x member out and build one that suits, throw the wishbone away and install parallel links throw a big ass truck diff in it something that makes a 9 inch look silly like this build my sort of fun
❤
I can't wait to see it driving its gonna be a beast.. she should pull the front wheels with the weight transfer
Did you pressure test the tank ? And are there baffles inside to keep the gas from sloshing around? They also add strength.
Hi Chad and Jolene.. I have a ‘55 A/G .. It is very acceptable to move the motor back some .. in drag racing in the old days this was done to get better traction off the line when the compound of the rubber was not as good as it is today .. this is not a bad thing .. check out the Gassers of the 60’s ..
🔥
love it as always everything slowly turning .thanks qj
FINA!!!
👍
Lol drill holes in fast motion 😂
