WASTED MONEY - 1956 Chevrolet 2 Door Conversion With Twin Turbos?

[@danpatterson8009]

Brakes are soft, steering is wobbly, trans ain't happy, seats are awful, lots of stuff rattling around- ready for turbos!

[@corydriver7634]

Sounds legit.😂

[@brandongarrigus2450]

Here in America this called the poor man’s tri 5 do you understand how many people would love to have a tri5 conversion. Me personally I don’t care what the title says . Most working class people can not afford a true tri 5 but with what you do , maybe some can. Thank you Dan

Hi it is Tommy K from RI! - My mom Drove an automatic car with 2 feet! Bravo!

[@northvegassailrabbit3642]

Your ability to get a pile of scrap to run and drive is amazing. Keep the projects coming.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Haha thanks buddy!

[@allanrichards3752]

It is good to watch and interesting videos but if you took a car like that on the road here in the UK the cops would pull you over and they would find so many safety issues wrong with the car (seats and steering column for starters) that you would end up with a really hefty fine and likely enough points on your licence to keep you off the road for at least a year.

[@bensymington5550]

❤❤ I love these conversions very good video

[@martinanzaldua]

"I just want to put my foot to the floor and blaze the tires as long as a fricking want" Dan from DD Speed Shop Now that alone deserves a like and a comment. hahahahaha

[@kevinvansandt9117]

Dan thank you for telling us the prices of these parts it sure helps those of us planning and budgeting our own projects, I've been saving aluminum cans for a few years now almost have enough to get that Edelbrock carburetor 😅

[@jasonbose3507]

Man, YOU BOTH ARE SO COOL 😎. I love 💕 that you both are so fun! I also love that Dan is the Canadian Hillbilly of his neighborhood. Waving at your neighbors while riding your Jalopy, all rusty, squeaky, and awesome 👍. I am that guy too and love every minute of it! Sometimes get the funny looks, aaahhh heaven! I'm all yahoo down the road 🛣️. Anyway, thanks for the video 📸.

[@ryanhicks942]

Yes!! Turbos on this thing what this channel needs! Do it

[@automotivechaos]

When I boosted the 5.3 in my Camaro the engine had so many miles the ring gap was perfect already lol. The one issue I ran into was the factory valve springs. It had a built in rev limiter at like 5k rpm because it would float the valves so badly. Doing springs on those engines is easy and like you said, worst case you have to swing a motor in it. Looking forward to watching this build, gonna be a good one!

[@DDSpeedShop]

Yeah thr motor is the easy part

[@normancoreyBuildingTrains]

You could use windshield ribbon tape next time thats what was used way back when in the 70s and 60s to hold stationary windows works good to take up the voids and not mess as long as you are going on metal that has some paint on it you are good to go. Great job love the channel

[@rodney1818]

Make sure you run braces from the front of the block up to the turbo or in about 6 months your headers are going to be cracking

[@corydriver7634]

You do so many of these two-door conversions I’d trace the factory glass on a piece of hardboard or plexi with a couple of finger holes in it to make the trial and error fitting a bit easier.

[@jasonr6763]

Everytime I see that yellow 56, the theme for Taxi starts playing in my head…

[@knoxmotorsports]

Back in 77 my friend had a 56 with 427 turbo 400 black top silver gray bottom from. Chrome line in middle it was a bad ass cruiser very perry car super fast

[@paulweigle6872]

What a GLORIOUS pile! Can't wait to see it boosted.

[@Jesse_gc]

First time I used that windshield glue I put the tube in hot water for an hour stuff came out pretty good I ended up with it all over my back window inside and out took me 2 days to clean up the mess.Dan the 56 will be a cool car when you are done .you and Dani have a Great day

[@brandongarrigus2450]

Dan please please with all the work that you’ve doing on this car make it look as good as the 57 convertible that you did. This car deserves to have a decent paint job and looks good for ls fest. Don’t let you subscriber down. Please do what this car deserves.

[@DDSpeedShop]

​@@BlooMulehahahaha

[@brandongarrigus2450]

No been with this channel since Dan did his first 55

[@BlooMule]

I agree with you on 56 tail lights. They look like the lens was broken out and someone stuck a trailer light in there

[@bengrieve3255]

Hey Dan keep up the work a good buddy of mine out in ontario has a 57' 210 wagon that he just did a twin turbo setup on his small block thing looks killer

[@devillockj]

I’ve been watching you for so long now man. I just checked your videos and it’s before you deleted the old stuff on your channel. You were just a kid when you started

[@GeorgeKauffman-w6g]

The car is a bucket of bolts but the nut behind the wheel is hilarious. Kudos to the funny, patient and sweet camera operator!

[@danstewart8218]

HEY DAN!! Get a seal kit for that new master cylinder they are bound to sell one in town somewhere, just pop off the circlip and check the bores...its probs a bit of swarf from the manufacture has ripped the seals or something. It'll be piss easy for you.

[@keithroute8906]

I think you did great on that car. You got it cheap and it appears real solid and not a rust bucket. Now you are putting speed in the speed shop. I totally understand, sometimes you want a car to burn tires for a full city block from light to light. Getting big tires that stick and chirp the whole distance on a car built to go faster is cool but that car wont grab the attention and give off the show a tire roaster car will. Hearing tires squealing long distances is what hot rod shops are known for and they usually have a particular car built for it. My tire roaster used to be a 71 Ranchero I built but I sold it to thin the fleet. My 67 Skylark stands in for that when wanted but it is to nice to do much of that in. Can’t remember how many years since I did that or drifted in it. I live in the woods and can do burnouts or test hits but I don’t want to crack that car up or hit a deer. None of my other cars are tire roaster material. You make me want to get a new old rough but safe and solid tire burner for my hot rod shop. Love the channel and your old cars. Way to go building what you want the way you want. You are doing it right. You two are a great couple, I always like the humor you create.

[@stevebrzezinski8480]

Mortske mentioned your channel quite a few times so I finally subscribed. I love tri 5s so now I'm hooked. 😂

[@DDSpeedShop]

Thanks man! Mortske is okay...... ha

[@My2ndtimearound]

Cover that glass Al around your interior. Sparks from that grinder will chip it like fine sand blasting.

[@AaronHardinPhoto]

I've run my SBE un-ring gapped 5.3 with 10 lbs of boost for almost two years. And its my daily. Just be sure to be conservative with the timing, and you'll be mint. If you are going to do anything, even the blue ls6 valve springs are a great valve float prevention.

[@bobrollans8460]

I see the Canadian raditator cap shortage is still going on .

[@simpleman3507]

What a beautiful 2 door 56, and with 2 turbos, it will be all the more beautiful. Yeah!!

[@seanmcgillicuddy956]

You missed your "cone of silence " opportunity Great project so far .. keep them coming

[@stonedkm]

That plumber crack was horrible 😮😮

[@larrydixon-vi7ld]

They are sweet!

[@jasonbose3507]

DAN, I WAS SO STOKED WHEN SEEING THOSE TURBOS IN YOUR HAND THAT MY FINGERS 🤌 WERE SHAKING WITH ANTICIPATION! I love 💕 what you and Dani have been doing, keeping it cool and positive, yes! You both ROCK!!! Your so cool that I'm playing the band Journey to your honor. Thanks for the video 📸.

[@whereisamerica7384]

I know you weren't planning to, but valve springs, bigger injectors and either the COPO oil pump spring or shim the oil pump spring will help keep that motor alive and it will be way more fun. It will blow the valves closed with beat stock springs. I'm really looking forward to seeing your face when you roll into boost. You thought you liked blowers, just wait😆

[@xozindustries7451]

I love the honest review on the test drive

[@spymoocowgaming]

i suggest...just because ive seen it before, to upgrade the valve springs. adding boost to the stock configuration will cause valve float early and you will drop a valve or eat a piston when it coil binds and loses the locks. also, go to the junkyard and get a set of truck injectors and decap them. they will do 80 lb per hour

[@brianf8621]

Malice in the combustion palace!

[@BronsonOsborne]

yes you need GOOD valvetrain

[@Leo-vf3py]

Way to go Dan the van go another work of art great show keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all

[@ardennielsen3761]

getting a project done in the field before winter hits... was +5 yesterday now zero degrees today but feels like a drop in 15 degrees, and that's because it is a drop of 15 degrees Fahrenheit. 30 degrees more to drop and the ground starts to freeze. the snow is returning to Alberta once again.

[@thman6453]

You should consider gapping the rings for boost

[@MakeHotRoddingGreatAgain]

That takes a lot of time on something that most people won’t be super interest in watching on an engine he likely doesn’t care much about. Would be different if he was building up this engine specifically for boost and maximum performance and not just for fun.

[@5150Magic]

Yea, keep the ring glands from becoming ring canyons.

[@wrenched90405]

Very cool Dan - always enjoy that you’re doing something new, on the periphery of your comfort and skill set. I have a lot more to go, but for a guy like you who knows a lot, it’s cool to see you push it. 90% of the channels plateau cause they are staying too far into their comfort zone

[@rollerdragon]

ok.. i got an idea: each turbo will have it's own exhaust, blow-off outlet and turbo outlet... the back will make a ton of heat.. bad for tri five engine bay... use a little more tubing and put the turbos IN the wheel-well area.. then cover the turbos with good solid heat shielding.. almost like 'false-inner fenders' ... this will simplify your cold side piping, it will not only drop engine compartment temps, it will also help cool turbos.. guard the turbos with oil coolers on input side, lowering inlet oil pressure, cooling it and also.. out the way... i saw a similar setup on day one os death week.. sick seconds tom bailey's coverage

As a 25+ yr vetran plumber…..i apporve of the 4” abs intake….i can dig it!!!

[@easyjerryl69]

One thing I've learned about turbos is that you have to have a bigger gap in the piston rings. I guess the rings expand more. Just watching those shows like Road Kill and stuff on KZbin.

[@johnkranz4004]

Should be a good Build Dan And Dani and You better check every Nut and Bolt

[@deenunya7735]

" Think Will leave the Dirt on it" ,your perfection to Detail goes beyond No Bounds Dan 😂. Loose Seats , Loose Steering Column🤣 Is there no Yearly Car Test before its allowed on the Road ? Great Vid 👍

[@brianf8621]

The timing cover with drain back ports. Money well spent.

[@rodrigomacchiavello8960]

Hello Guys, I think you should forge the engine, change the camshaft, so that it supports the power of the turbos, and also perhaps install a manual transmission if the idea is to race on circuits... greetings from Argentina.....

[@davidanderson2393]

The twins should put some pep in its step, more power will help weed out the weak links in the old rattle trap. What makes everything better, More Power!!!!!! until it makes some things worse.

[@kevinl.2291]

Not a bad first drive. Few changes and it will come around. With Turbos I’m sure it will melt the tires down. 👍😎✌️

Itll likely melt other things too. lol

Instead of going through the hassle of trying to get a good single pot master cylinder, why not upgrade to a dual for a 67 or latter camaro/chevelle with 4 wheel drums? You have to run a second line from the master down and across the front crossmember to where the factory "T" is. Separate the front and rear brake systems so if you develop a leak you don't lose all your brakes? The DDSS give away 57 is getting this upgrade very soon. Snow's coming this week anyway, so it's upgrade time.

[@haroldrogers6083]

I wonder if the tail light lenses off a 65 Impala would fit or be made to fit in place of the ones you don't like ?
