1971 Nova SS gets a Muncie 4 Speed!

I've been hard at it! Motor and transmission went back together and I manager to stab them in the car. Everything fit shockingly well! Now I'm down to all the tedious little things that take a pile of time. Linkage, brake lines, belts ect. Leave a like, let me know what you guys think! As always fellow along on Instagram @ddspeedshop

Great job! I enjoy watching your videos. I have a 55 Chevy I am working on. Slow but sure.

[@curtiscamaro5926]

A 4 Speed Nova , That is going to be So Much fun . You gonna really like it .

[@DDSpeedShop]

nice!

[@davidbacon4115]

Message me I’ll trade your shifter for mine which is a nova one

[@scottkolar5803]

@@DDSpeedShop Thanks Danny. On a side note, do you have a tach in your 55? Where did you hook up the red wire? I am having an issue with mine. Getting frustrated.

[@hoss1947]

Great video, it brings back memories from the 60's when I was changing engines, and transmissions in my 57 Chevy. Those were fun times. I will be 72 in December, and it does take me a little longer to do things due to Father Time, but I still enjoy working on the old stuff.

[@DDSpeedShop]

thats awesome! I hope I'm still wrenching when I'm 72. Maybe not quite so hard though.....

[@ericmcginnis9413]

Add one more like! A V8, add a muncie, why not like it! Your living the American dream there bud, I love it!

[@mikepoint4983]

There is no better feeling to see the motor / trans go in , I like the look of air cleaner and rocker covers . Soon enough you’ll be banging gears . Cheers .

[@DDSpeedShop]

yeah it's always a fun time. Next moment is hearing it run.

[@davidfortin7897]

I'm actually a Mopar guy...but enjoy watching, because I always work alone and that has its challenges. Keep up the good work !!

[@joshuagarvey9362]

I just watched these videos after I made the same mistake with that same fork Oooo gosh.So good think is I fixed A couple more mistake I was about to do and you saved me.I watched these videos over the others and were very helpful.Ty ty so much.Hope you car is still running strong.Great work.

[@henrygibson1530]

Good video ! It's in and want be long now you're be driving it around. But to bad it's going to be winter with snow . Well be looking forward to seeing the next video. 😎

[@Chevyv8man1]

Hey Danny, Great job bud. Do yourself a favor and when you're in a junk yard or going by a trany shop, stop by and ask if they have a old pilot shaft that came out of any old broken trany (with the right spline) for GM. Most shops will give you a broken one for free and keep it around for installing bushings and clutch alignment. You can also pickup a cheap alignment tool on Amazon for $20 but I would rather have a real one. The best part of having one is you don't have to worry about messing up the bearing installing it. Have a good one bud. Later

[@DDSpeedShop]

Thanks man, I had an install tool at one point, ofcourse I couldnt fine it when I needed..... story of my life haha

[@suntzuwarsword1964]

Great stuff...reminds me of days gone by when it was the norm to work on cars..the golden era of hot rods...love your channel...

[@robmccabe8736]

Dan when I was a kid my brother's friend he had a 1970 SS 396 375 horse 4-speed it was a fast fast car man it was fun looks good keep up the good videos man loves them all the best😁👍🛠

[@1979Malibuick]

Dang… that scatter shield is a monster! I stayed with the factory style bellhousing on my 79 Malibu but upgraded to a Muncie m-21, and Hurst competition plus for a 65 Chevelle. Fits nice, shifter is on the money!

[@DDSpeedShop]

yeah its a beast! And heavy as hell. Sounds like a bad ass car!

[@ronaldhagadorn5512]

Doesnt make sense to most people, its all about the sport of manual shifting. Nothing like the sound of a v8 manual!

[@jeffreylevin1266]

I’m enjoying the build. Please keep at it. I really enjoy your videos. I would also love to see you make the 57 into a two door. Loved the 55 build as well!

Make some curtains for your garage door when it's down on a trunk lid, snap on ur drapes that extend to the floor and contain ur heat better.

Well Lad, your on the one yard line and inches for touch down and I know you well as this is sunday night here (company) It is running, valves ran in... cam broke in and exhaust burns on one or more places but trust me when you found the bushing wouldn't let you in Double D, (wifes bra size?) I would of shit biscuits and nails and hit the Jack Daniels for at least one swig then get er done. I been there but if that is the only blemish in this build then your golden. I share as many as I can to people with channels as well as send to buddies, they are not as old as me so chances are at least one will subscribe.. a drop of water in the ocean I know but damn it, three hundred and forty million people in the usa alone and I shared this in the UK and Russia as well. Traction bars or four link.. hard to guess but if it were me I would roll on traction bars for the time being. Your still working for a living and not ready to retire on videos yet so the fifty seven four door delete will pull some serious coin maybe as people ate the girl friends car bit and it still has milage to go yet. Great job and so proud to have chatted with you on some stuff... at seventy three saturday, still have a hu rah left in me

Well happy birthday! and thanks for the shares! Dan and Dani so I decided to go with DD. Never thought much would come out of it, so I didnt spend much time on the name haha.
