Dropping a SBC into the 1959 Jaguar Mk 9 concept

We decided we're gonna go with an automatic SBC 350 engine for the 1959 Jaguar so today we're going to drop in one of our mockup engines to see if it will work 🚨

I watched this just like any of the other videos Chad and Jolene produce and all I get out of this is he is very even tempered, thoughtful in his choice of words and above all has a creative vision. Instead of the mean and negative comments why not just follow along and see where it all goes. You don’t have to love the finished outcome but you should appreciate what he did to get the project done. Each viewer has their own perception of what they see but highly doubt they can do 20% of what he can get done. It would be a genuine treat to spend a day in his shop and assist him while watching it happen.

[@CSmith-oz4wp]

Just in the first few minutes of this show we are able to see all these cars and Chad going through his ideas for all. This guy knows exactly what he is doing. The extra portion most don’t get to see is the creative part as he goes about cutting and welding. We get to see him work every day. love it. I’ll never say a negative word about the looks of it or the way he did this or that because this is an artist going through his vision. Love every bit of it, keep it up.

[@tonyb2052]

You have to allow for clearances for exhaust manifolds and spark plugs . For anybody that is trying to learn how to do this . Exhaust manifolds should be on when you mock up an engine .

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

@@chrisarnold5154 Why do you even come back to watch these builds since you think they are not educational🤔🤔. Oh I know because you are so freaking jealous because bad Chad is so successful and you’re not !!! Bad Chad says every single day this is just how he does things and everyone can take the parts they like and ignore the part they don’t like or do it their way ect ect ect…….. so instead of confusing people with your negative comments why don’t you get the hell off of this awesome KZbin channel instead of being a total A$$ !!

[@GeorgeWagner-dv3fe]

Chad is a great teacher and Adrian learns to everything. Nice pair, I learn by just watching. I glad he is on you tube.

[@darwinfoster7420]

Keep on trucking like they say in the states . Any progress made isnt a day wasted . You and Jolene make an awesome team working so great together .

[@jerryomalley3537]

Great to see a young lad ready to learn and work. You're teaching is most important to apprentices. All of the trades are suffering

[@allanimalstaxi]

Nothing like staying busy and out of trouble, another video tutorial well done. That includes you to Jolene!

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

when I dropped the 401 nail head back in my 65 Buick GS it was a "moment". hope you get that same feeling Chad.👍

[@jerryvikla3925]

I love the engine mounts you use from speedway! Thanks for all the tips you give. Love watching you two as you work. Wish you were my neighbors!

let your creative flow - have fun - enjoy the process - this Jag will be another Bad Chad Priceless work of automotive Art! You never cease to amaze me

[@tonymosca6591]

In my opinion, SBC are the most reliable and most inexpensive engine to build. Amazing 65 year old design

[@sheldonkleeman759]

Always good to see you and Queen Jolene......your passion and positive attitude always makes for a great eye full

[@brendangeraghty8865]

Screw the hateful comments! Keep doing you, Chad, Jolene!

[@oldredchevy-hh6de]

Glad you're enjoying yourselves on YOUR project to do as you please. Enjoying watching as you share in your adventure. The comment section is a good place to note my own personal opinion. I think the square roof on the round car was awkward looking from the start & still looks wrong to me. Would look so much more cohesive if you chopped & shortened the original round roof.

[@michaelbristol6467]

See now you're catching on, The Champ likes to build cars that nobody has ever seen before, he doesn't want people to say look at that 69 Camaro, or oh nice 1968 Mustang, he likes when people say WTF is that thing ??? 🤔 It's much more fun to build a conversation piece ! Like Bonnie Raitt says..."Let's give em something to talk about". 😉✌

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

@@severinappleton3438 Once again it’s not about you, and it’s not about building something other people usually build. It’s about an artist and his ability to create art that has never been created before and that is why his KZbin channel is so successful and why he as an individual is so successful so suck it up buttercup and enjoy the artist and artist projects !!!!

[@glenmccall8854]

Oldredchevy 1949 YES, this car looks fantastic from the front, BUT it looks very strange from the other 3 sides. IF that is the look he was after, I would say great. Over the years Chad's creations have been a much better flowing design. Chad is only human and yes, he admits that he doesn't get it right everytime. This is proof that Chad is human and maybe made a mistake on this roof. Can you imagine how sharp this car would look as a convertible? Hopefully he will come up with an idea of "Wow, let's make this a roadster"!!!

[@fritzcaddy]

I hope this car gets driven often and provide miles of smiles to fans and critics alike.

[@jz9985]

Great to see Aiden learning and getting confidence each time he works under Chad's guidance. Especially safety. Joe

[@ejharrop1416]

Chad's optimism and excitement about the projects is amazing. Ayden is learning from the master. Awesome, thank you, take care and peace out.

[@Vince-jj8qs]

Always so awesome to watch the imagination and creativity of a true artist on the fly.

[@adrianvanderlee1117]

Chad you are a lucky man to have such a great partner who sticks up for your great builds. Would like to see her Bugatti done you have done a great job on that she would look great in her car . Like the progress on the jaguar Adrian from Australia I have an standard 1953 Morris Minor thanks to you both

[@jerryvikla3925]

It's awesome how many irons you have in the fire at once. Keep it up! You two are an inspiration to me.

[@davefiffer9702]

good for you Jolene. you hit the nail right on the head. people need to get along. i love your channel. keep up the great work.

[@donaldbrightwell5221]

Great job on capturing the video, Jolene. You certainly showed exactly what was needed on the installation. Chad & Aidyn did their part to fit the SB in the car. Great job everyone.

[@kensharongrant3776]

Good show. Lots of information and directions for Adan to learn the art of hot rods. Another good job by Jolene.

[@jparish2469]

the jag is super cool i love the sides/tops of doors great job thanks as always guys

[@cathyandgreg4239]

Love mock ups....gets the brain storming on the ideas....going to be a great car. Nice camera work Jolene.

[@bufford5483]

Love watching and learning from you and your lovely lady. I especially like your hints on where to buy the products and tools you use, to save money. Cheers from Conquerall Bank, N.S.

Nice work brother, not my favourite car design but I do appreciate how you do these projects so that us newbies can follow along so easily! Cheers and thanks again!

[@clifc6351]

Hey Yo! Nice to see Aidyn. Nice to see the use that durable TBI 350. Ive run one for nearly 400,000 original miles, outlasted 2} 4L60's however. Thank You for sharing the build today. I enjoy your work very much.

[@kelvinmann1058]

Nooooo!! Not another SBC, I was so looking forward to seeing the Jag engine going in there. Oh well I'm sure it'll still be another awesome build.

[@vwcoco]

Nice plans for the summer ,enjoy chad & Jolene

[@Markver1]

I thought that putting the Jag motor in the Jag was a perfect match. But I’d rather see it go in Jolene’s Bugatti than some everyday motor like a 305. Besides, when are you ever gonna find a Bugatti motor at the swap-meet?

[@vwcoco]

The Lincoln plasma cutter is very nice ,cuts like butter and easy

[@VinoRatRodbuilds]

Badness, the roof line on the Jaguar looks like a Kia soul, right on! Big Fella 👍

[@flmulcahy]

No doubt about it, even when Chad does a rough cut it looks good.

[@johnstelluto9101]

Nice work mocking up the Chevy engine, Chad! So excited to see how you'll fit the exhaust manifold. Frenching the firewall distributor cut out will look cool! See ya tomorrow! 😊

[@davidsolloway9349]

Always a pleasure to wtch you problem solve. Have you thought about a colour for the Jag?

Nice ride Aidyn, that,s a very nice car. Always a good when Chad and Aidyn work well together. Thanks for the videos Jolene.

[@nualanet]

Should be nice n' peppy! I still say that would look really sharp roofless, cut along that swept line and given a boat-tail and tonneau cover. In a nice British Racing Green, with black-wall tires, and a small old-school racing car windshield setup.

[@deandee8082]

pretty cool custom mount set up, weld that bar right to the frame done deal! sweet unit

[@Jemini553]

dont worry about the bad comments just keep doing what you two are doing , Nam myoho renge kyo

[@wackowacko8931]

The reason that the motor has to be tilted back 3 to 5 degrees is because of the angle of the pinion in the rear end. In order for the rear end to work properly and to account for the torque effect on the rear end, the pinion angle is set at 3 to 5 degrees upwards. Because of the way that driveshafts work, when you have two universal joints on either end of the driveshaft, the pinion angle and the angle of the engine need to be equal and opposite. The engine designers probably would use the angle to incorporate some oil drain back to the sump, but that isn't the primary reason.

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

For those of you who do not like this bill and think he should do it a different way🤔🤔 guess what ?? This build is doing exactly what he said it would and that is people will lean on a beautiful normal build and look and talk about this build….. and that my friend is why people keep coming back not because he does normal build that every other channel does !! Bad Chad you are an amazing man and I really think people just can’t handle you being different and creating what’s in your brain and not theirs🤔🤔. Keep up the great content and stay safe !!

[@Scano41]

And another great episode from bad chad and jolene on how chad dose his car builds take from it what you want and leave the rest behind, chad and jolene should put that on a tshirt

It's coming around Chad,Great job explaining the details to Aidyn.Keep up the Great Video work Jolene. 👍

[@richardraphael4851]

Chad not sure if you have worked with torsion bars,but make sure you take all the torque out of them so someone doesn't get hurt,usually have an adjustment with a key way on rear of bar, unadjust it to take all. Torque out of it.stay safe. Jolene great video as usual.

[@bobbarnes5082]

The '79 Lincoln is gorgeous and imposing, all black with retractable headlights. Great job guys, as always. 😎👍 Greetings from Switzerland

[@nualanet]

Jim recommended I put a suggestion in the comments. I said I would love to see an “old school” panel truck build. With the double doors in the back. A lot of possibilities I’m sure Chad could envision there. Custom panels, running boards, unique power train. Wild paint scheme…. Anyway, just a thought.

[@michaelbristol6467]

Sounds good ! 👍😉✌

@@cag1763 - That would be cool also. I was thinking of the typical late 1940’s to mid 1950’s metal panel trucks.

Chad Jolene Aden I love watching you guys great work

[@markbeeby9707]

Chad. 3 degrees is pinion angle not oil flow . Great show

[@richmargadonna2155]

Hey Chad. I might move the engine forward to get some weight over the front suspension and to give you room to get at the exhaust manifolds or headers.Can't tell what that engine mount tubing is made of but it might be an option to bend or cut and weld the ends of that tube assembly swinging the outer tubes back on a much sharper angle which would bring the engine forward for you.
