ENGINE INSTALLATION: ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DILEMMA?

After fabricating the lower firewall yesterday we realized we may have an issue getting the engine installed so today we're going to try to see if there's going to be any interference 🔥

Love to see a young man, Aidan wants to learn. Shows there is promise for our youth for the future.

[@genesimons8368]

How awesome that "Lincoln Electric" is working with you! Good things sometimes happen to good people. So nice to see these days...

[@paulbrino8689]

Agree, very nice of Lincoln!!!

[@randyhontz60]

Chad great job teaching Aiden . .... when I install an engine without transmission. .... Put a bellhousing bolt one each side , then slide a 2x4 behind the engine , under the bolts... will hold up the back of the engine ...... Also take off the distributor cap , to make room and avoid cracking the cap....

[@rickhettwer854]

Your idea with the bellhousing bolts are good if the car is already sitting on the ground. In this case however the car may need to be raised or lowered to do some finish work. On a Chevy, the Dist. cap needs to be in place to get correct clearance, Etc. for firewall mods in case it's needed.

[@randyhontz60]

@@rickhettwer854 I take the cap off every time I install an engine , so it doesn't get bumped and cracked. if you need to measure clearance or anything just re install cap . I just take it off during installation .

[@rickhettwer854]

@@randyhontz60 Yes of course, I would also remove the cap if i new i were to use it for other than a mock-up.

My husband & I look forward to your show. Your like an artist working on this vehicle. Each step is a masterpiece. Keep up the good work.

Great to see another step in the evolution of the "Cab-over". And every step has it's challenges. The beauty of any custom venture. Great work.

[@anthonymenna5986]

You guys need a foam motor for mock ups and test fittings. Awesome progress guys 👍🏻

[@friarbuck640]

Love the build and the education. That old creative problem solving skill is so valuable.

[@matthewfocke5360]

Chad and Jolene are Artists. Love your work! Your instructional technique is even-keeled and excellent in taking away the learner's anxiety and keeping your apprentice from being afraid to try new things and messing up. Cool beans! The Master teaches the student. Excellent job! Great video tapping.

[@i8ntnuts]

I have been watching their videos for a long time and every one has been entertaining. This one was no exception. Jolene’s camera work continues to zoom in on what we like to see. Thank you for that and give Fina an extra hug for me

[@DavidTorres-tm6ff]

Love watching you guys work as a team such a true blessing

[@nikog4071]

Love your hard work and all the sweet fabrications you do on all your projects my friend keep u the awesome work I learned a lot of ways to do fabricating much better and easier on myself keep up the good work

[@nigelpearson7617]

You are a great teacher Chad the world needs more people like you dude👍🇬🇧

[@nellalarsen9327]

Wow - wow! I've been unable to watch for several weeks and I am trying to catch up. Over 97K subscribers. The magic 100K is within reach. Excellent work Chad. So glad that people get to watch you mentor and share what I call your vision and creativity with a young person. Your ability to make the complex simple is amazing. Love how you emphasize safety. I am so happy to be back watching.

[@larrymacaluso9051]

It really makes me feel good to see you taking the time to teach Aiden the skills he will require to do whatever he choses to do in his life and to also see that he is interested in learning. What a wonderful joint effort watching you two working together on this project, it renews my faith in the younger generation and for society as a whole. Thank you for sharing and thank you Jolene for a great video.

[@charlielegere283]

Can't say it enough. Great teacher and great student. Your not only taking the time to explain what your doing but giving him a chance to do it.

[@gemballacirrus]

Great update! The fountain of knowledge Aydin will take from this experience will be AMAZING! Bad Chad, Jolene & Fina are THE BEST!!!

[@DT99race]

Plenty of room in that engine bay for a big blower! 👍😉

[@gemos46]

Chad, you have a good helper. He is learning a lot from you. Jolene is doing a great job as always.

[@joecochran9976]

I don't watch TV but I watch you guys everyday. Hats off to your talent and attitude, thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@jimvoll3434]

Your custom vehicle are a work of art. Keep up the great work.

[@DJ-nz2lk]

You are a great teacher Chad. Thanks to the three of you for another kickass show !

[@mikerowesr]

Really enjoy watching this whole process!

[@BaileysDad369]

I’m glad you are getting something from Lincoln. You deserve it!!!

[@RaverRst]

Always nice to see the engine go in and sit in the frame, and good firewalls working well guys 👍

[@bobchipman9152]

Great job guys watching you install the motor ,it's coming along ,looking good

[@monadking2761]

Put in a 45° piece above the lower firewall to the upper firewall. This way you will be able to see all the work you did and you might have to remove the upper fire if your motor is removed which you said will be put in. Those trips should be good too. I wish I had the set up I had in the 70s on my 327 they worked great! Now I am looking for another 6 pack for my 62- 283 with matching numbers on the heads but they want alot of money for that set now.

[@stevensayers3025]

I enjoy watching you build things .

[@codycheney3401]

I'm so glad that the engine in now decided upon. It looks like that you have all kinds of room for that engine and working on it. As for a set of hammer and dollies I believe that it's princes auto up there in Canada or there are some half way decent kits on Ebay that are really reasonable to purchase. It's really looking good with all the latest things that you have done. How far are you going on this build before that you go onto something else or will you get it running and go through the entire build ? Either way is good. The lessons and knowledge that Ayden has gotten couldn't be bought in schools because they wouldn't bust out of the NORMAL because they've lost their creativness.

[@larrysorenson4789]

So when you open the hood you could be looking into a beautiful deep carpeted trunk with a built in cooler for at least thirty pounds of ice and a couple of 32 packs of beer. The ice drips onto the engine for added cooling. Or you could make the first ever “Rumble Hood” Seats with the cooler for an arm rest.

[@virtuestreams2616]

Seriously, this channel is fantastic in so many ways-bravo team!

[@markallison8854]

This is going to be great. Thanks Chad and jolene God bless you 👉⚘⚘❤❤

[@dwolff9598]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Learning something every episode. Y’all rock. David

[@tammypearson7018]

me and my hubby watch you everyday i love seeing you teaching aiden keep up the great shows

[@MattyB3D]

Great work - all 3 of ya!

[@joebourque4860]

You're a fast builder chad. It really looks awesome. Thanks for the video Jolene 👍👍👍

[@snoopu2601]

I like to watch how Chad has Aiden there learning as we are all learning watching a Kustom Truck gets built. For a while there I didn't know where this build was going? It's taking shape now. There is another truck that's on KZbin that was built similar, but not really because Hiltz has a Mercury the other one on KZbin has a truck hand built truck bed. Any how glad to see a youngster on the Hiltz team 💪

[@marygarner5249]

Absolutely love your Videos Always great time

[@rossbeckley6729]

This is such a fantastic build and to be watching each day as it progresses is an amazing opportunity. Thank you Chad, Jolene and Aiden.

[@davidtutor6763]

Awesome. Love watching and learning. Thanks for the hard work.

[@jimwilson465]

Great progress. It is really coming together quickly. These daily videos are great. Keep it up.

[@ele97735]

It’s great to see what engine you are using for this piece of art.

[@paulhailey2537]

After you lower the front end back onto the ground then the rear of the Engine will have to be lowered to make it Level

[@danielnixon1976]

Your work is outstanding. Great job.

[@neuromanglers]

good idea to take a moment and confirm the engine can be installed. You could always make the whole front end tip forward. I had a few old Corvettes that had hoods that tip forward and it made it nice to work on the car...and there was a lot of work they required

[@FYIMADAZZ]

Second that

[@crittercraig9445]

Chad you might want to put the bell housing & transmission. So you'll know what clearance you need. Great job everyone still watching and learning.

[@dianerose3566]

Great video glad to see your getting use out of the magmatic level I sent you 👍

[@juriedekock6154]

Chad, The way an engine should fit is so that the drive shaft universals [hooks couplings] is 1. Line up, 2. both must work at the same angle ! This is very important; If the couplings do not drive at the same angle, the proppeller shaft will vibrate.!!!!! If you can not tip the engine to attain the couplings to work at the same angle, then the rear axle angle has to be remounted to get the couplings to be at the same angle. One shoulg not try to fit the engine level. If you try to level the engine before the weight of the engine is on the mountings, the engine will not be level when it rests on the chasis. pardon my inglish please.

[@micdarj]

Nice work, cannot wait to see the finished product.

[@leosimon9463]

Wonderful show today and congratulations on the engine mounts already being built into the car. Thanks for sharing again.😊

[@BubbaAyers1969]

Good choice on engine, them small blocks are nice and easy to work on, great video

Ayden seems very happy with all you are teaching him!! Awesome!

Yes and someday I can see Aidan building his own street rods and custom cars!

[@dereksimon3437]

I couldn't miss this! This is what I've been hoping to see finally! 👀

You got this love your show everyday , you are being a great teacher to that young man

[@dennymarreesr6187]

I’m glad you tilted the hood hinges back! I thought someone was going to hit those. Nice job on the cabover. Aidyn sure is picking up pretty quick! Sure miss seeing Jolene every once in a while. She sure does an excellent job on the production end!! Keep up the great work!

[@donlegore1889]

Hello Bad Chad, It is great how you work with Ayden and show him the trade of Custom Building. My kids love watching you build on your creations, keep up the great job. A follower from Oregon USA

[@tony-ps4qw]

I would think it would be prudent to get the motor installed and then do the custom metal work around the engine and exhaust, and all the other things needed- you could make a really cool surround out of metal! Great Work!

[@edwardsteely5506]

Good fit. Six pack will look good, Hope it has a Cam.

[@johnmacmillan2766]

Hats off to Lincoln supporting one of the best car builders in the world!!!! Congratulations Chad and Jolene I wish you all the best! Thanks for another lesson.

Wow on the firewall! Looks fantastic!

[@bigdsispy59]

That's looking fantastic. Great work

[@somebodysomebody2055]

Those vice grips you got clamped on that cherry picker isn't safe ... especially when there pointing up..the reason I say is because I had a motor jacked up in the air like you did fixed to install in a 68 mustang the transmission was still in car an I reached down to make sure torque converter was pushed all the way in an just as I was raising back up I bumped the motor an the gravity let them vice grips fall back around an the motor fell..I meen slammed fast an hard in side of the car..I was with in seconds an inches of having my head an upper part of my body smashed..probably would have killed me an I was working by myself nobody wouldn't have even new ...it scared me so much that I left it like it was turned out the light in the shop locked door an went home freaking out an didn't go back to work on it for about a week ...an I made sure I took them vice grips off the cherry picker never clamp a pair back on them...an took a good friend with me when I worked on it.....just saying from experience with them dam vice grip on that release screw on that cherry picker brought back a night mare for me.....Truck looks cool an bad ass👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️

[@ejharrop1416]

Awesome, the firewall is looking good. Good luck, rock on and peace out.

[@Jimsathome]

Love to see an Engine - even a mock-up - going in! I know the 6 Pack will look cool when it gets installed with the 5-speed. 😉

[@redjeepcrusher]

I been watch you guys for a bit now from the north eastern U.S. . Love all you guys do! Very inspiring on your projects! My best to ya!

[@crkproductions5000]

It is so nice to watch Aiden come out of his shell. He really seems like a good kid headed in the right direction. I hope he sticks around with the best teacher and role model on you tube

Nice ride really like the creativity hope it all works out

[@sylvaindespatie5508]

Looking good keep up the good work thanks for sharing

Test fit for firewall cutting, then it comes out.

[@petersmith1076]

Coming along nicely good job so far

[@dwebster50]

So cool to see that Lincoln sent you the equipment and gear for your team. Good gear for a very good team. The Hiltz goodwill has paid off so smart on your part. Put the effort in , you have and they have recognized how much you have promoted their product. That is smart business Chad😊

[@larrybailey43]

Good job guys, engine installation is fun. I’ve done it with brother-in-law on Oldsmobile engines on 1950s Oldsmobiles, and small block Chevy’s in early 1950’s trucks. It’s fun.

[@fonhollohan2908]

hey chad if you want more control of that jack weld a little handle perpendicular on the end of the handle for the jack it will help give you more control of the jack and give you less mishaps.

[@dalebruce8253]

Looking good fellas! And great job on the camera as always Jolene!

[@jimcoplan9502]

The engine for the FORDOMerc is being revealed and test installed today. Chad and Aidyn working while Jolene does her fantastic video.

[@MittenMama2]

Can’t help but to respect you Chad. Down to earth and speaking truth. Like your outlook on life. More people should try to emulate that

[@darrelldunaway928]

Although not a car builder, I did use the clothes hanger trick welding a gap on a utility trailer, worked perfectly! Always learning from you Chad! Thank you and the best channel on KZbin so thanks goes to Jolene for that! Can’t wait to see how big this channel gets knowing I have been here since the beginning!

[@ronaldplatts2011]

[@clydette56]

Good job Aiden and Chad. Teamwork makes the dreamwork!!!!

[@danmckinley5409]

I can’t wait to see how this finishes off. What a concept I honestly couldn’t picture it at first but now can’t look away.

[@dennissheridan1550]

Chad, That trip-deuce setup is a little more than that 305 can handle especially if it has a stock cam and internals. If I'm not wrong the 305 was made to lower the corporate fuel mileage average, it was never meant to be a powerhouse engine. If you have a 327 or 350 they would benefit from the trip-deuce setup. You need to maybe to run that magnet across some sandpaper in case it has a clear sealant that's blocking contact with the metal.

[@johnmacintosh1343]

Love this show what a great opportunity for adien, great job!!! Great teaching chad!!! Truck looks awesome 👍👍👍👍

[@MartinMcMartin]

I couldn't imagine being an apprentice and having the whole of youtube watching me. He is doing great.

[@thefixerman1]

Progression is coming along very well every day - a superb build. Enjoying seeing Aiden's continued progress and learning fabrication skills in 5hr building process. You're a very humble teacher Chad, enjoyable watching for us. Of course, great videoing and producing Jolene 👍

[@rustyrails3225]

Its great watching this guy solve problems as they pop up. This truck is going to be great

[@matthewehmka7095]

You’re so right about the tools I have my dads old tool set and welder....it’s all a man needs!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

About 2 minutes in and i’m guessing a notch in the lower firewall to get it done. Good spacing on the mounts… Now to see if my guesses were close.
