Ford E4OD to 6R80 with Atlas Transfer Case Conversion behind 5.8L Step 1 Planning

[@barbara-holley]

i love that you threw in the last moment that you were going to get a high top as well lol. when you are done with this rig, my husband and i think you should win some lifetime achievement award for the most practical over-landing vehicle.

[@christianholmstedt8770]

I missed ther last 3 sec, so yeah. I learned that in the comments. 🤣

[@sagebrushbob2321]

Over the years I've come to believe that Advanced Adapters can make anything fit anything. No matter how odd it may be, it seems like they have an adapter already sitting on the shelf and waiting to be used. Between the 6 speed, and the Atlas Sasquatch should be able to climb cliffs and trees when done!

[@visamedic]

Sweet. I still want to put a Gen 3 in my 96’ Suburban. The front and rear end is new, rebuilt. I wanted to put one of those monster transmissions in it. Instead my mechanic built mine up just as ballsy, as well as the transfer case. I do want a slight lift. Not sure how much yet, but the next project will be The Beast. My 83’ Ford F-350. I’m wanting it 4wd. And I’m already rebuilding the camper shell. I need it to stop raining, although we’re very thankful for the rain. Still debating whether to put a mini wood stove or a diesel heater. Maybe both. Love the videos. Currently living vicariously through you 😁

[@richardburguillos3118]

Ya know, I’ll never own a van like yours, but I’m excited to see your rig evolve and the journey along the way. So keep up the videos. They’re educational and great. Thanks!

[@NeuroDAVErgent]

That last nugget is the best! I can't wait to see the trans setup done!

[@marcmmclellan]

I like a mix. Builds, repairs, mods, vlogs, and trips!

[@johndoe-lr9if]

Not a big mechanic myself, but I enjoyed nerding out on this (so to speak). Being able to stand up in your van, that will be a gamer changer (good for the back as well)

[@dentman67]

I really enjoy these van videos. Thanks for sharing, best of luck.

[@daviscrt]

LOL super simple... we shall see. Looking forward to seeing how it goes. Thanks Don

[@davidpatrick1813]

I look forward to seeing all these. I am a mechanic of over 50 years and in forced retirement ... and during your intro in this video thought. "I wonder if I can upgrade my Chevy 1990 G20 motorhome" to the Ford and make a real upgrade? :-) At one point I was certified Master by Ford Motor Company ... ... this is going to be fun to watch... pat

[@frh-freerangehuman]

6 speed should make a huge difference in drive ability once you get the bugs worked out. It’ll be cool to follow this. Agree 100% about cleaning your vehicle before doing for service. I clean mine before every oil change or whatever it’s getting. As a former mechanic I can say they definitely appreciate it. Good video Cheers

[@quintbarjheron6265]

so love everything you do but i so miss your dogs and im sure you do to thank you for sharing your life

[@dennisbeaver5958]

Love these videos, almost as much as the camping videos! You always do such a good job explaining what you’re doing, what the issues are, and how you’re going to tackle them. Keep up the great work!

[@andrewgable7273]

That will be a great upgrade!!!! Looking forward to that!!! The countdown begins!!

[@0HARE]

Lots of changes here. Looking forward to seeing the new gear in use. Happy Camping

[@skyepilotte11]

Like all your videos...always want to see mods being performed...can't camp without them.

[@michaelblock3998]

That Atlas T case is a solid tool!!

[@montechie]

Love both the camping and shop content. Especially how you walk through your reasoning. It DOES make me more sad that I traded my 03 F150 in for a Taco, should've dug more into mods to fix what I thought a newer vehicle would bring.

[@MeanOneMeanOne]

Epic, can't wait to see how it turns out!!!

[@marcomcdowell8861]

I like how he snuck that "high top" in a the last second hahaha

[@vibolbou5903]

Shout out to Aaron. Great dude. He fabricated my rock sliders.

[@WarrantZeus1]

Hey this year you should come up to New Hampshire nice wilderness some free campsites come up here during fall probably some of the best leaf peeking you'll ever see

[@nathanklemm179]

Awesome! The high top will be great. Looking forward to it

[@jenb.6440]

Great work; we enjoy all of your videos, I must admit we enjoy the adventures most; thank you for sharing

[@dlansburg2673]

Good luck on the new trans set up!

[@jeffreyyeip1915]

Jason, if you're planning on a rebuild check into Smeding performance. They can build you a custom 351 stroked to 427 which will give you better torque in itself and if you tell them you want a truck engine instead of a high revving race engine they can build accordingly

[@richardthomas1743]

Hello Jason!

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

HI JASON 👋 THIS WILL BE INTERESTING ! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW YOU BOTH GET THIS DONE. BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 THANK YOU 🙏 GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏

[@matsf8268]

Thanks for showing a normal shop :)

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Can't wait to see this come together, I love this stuff.

[@codyaverhoff6828]

Always enjoy your videos! If a 460 will fit, that might be a good option vs a rebuilt 351. Plenty of power and longevity.

[@crankshaft007]

Your channel man, do what you want

[@J57947488]

Great content Jason thanks for bringing us on your adventures.

[@dalefourroux6402]

I think you doing a great job all I drive is a Ford too so I want to know everything you're doing to your van and I like your camping videos everything you've been doing just fine. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🥃🥃🥃🥃

[@daniemurphy7681]

I honestly like the van build/mechanic videos more

[@buscampers]

Looking forward to seeing how the 6 speed works out for you.

[@andrewinsinga2993]

If I was to rebuild a Ford 5.8L engine I would put a stroker 393 kit and a good set of Cylinder heads The increase in torque would be beneficial in helping move your heavy van

[@935frank]

LOL that is what I'm doing Clearing out my barn, I would love to install a 6 to * speed strand in my 2000 Ford Excursion 2 valve 6.8 V-10

[@TheBadSeed3094]

Love both types of videos but specifically van build ones, I have (2) 7.3 extended vans I'm fixing up and need all the info/help I can get, thanks!

[@DR10002]

I had a 2006 E350 with the 6.0 powerstroke and that van at 7500lbs was faster than my 2010 Ram 1500 with a Hemi. I dont think Megans van shoudl be lugging. I pulled a 12000lb trailer with mine once and it barely noticed it was back there. I climbed snoqualmie like a rocket.

[@blackrockbrewing5141]

NOOOO, I like your van because it does not have a high top. They get broken on low hanging branches all the time. I like that you can put heavy things like the wood you cut, or even a small tree if you wanted on your roof rack. I have a van like Megan's with the 7.3 and a heavy duty roof rack and I love it for actually hauling things, or a dozen sheets of plywood.

[@donnapablos8752]

Thank you for all your videos. From Hope Idaho

[@blackrockbrewing5141]

I'm very interested in the vlog videos, and this trans swap.

[@sierramantrvlnus]

Yay!

[@ExplorerOffgrid]

w00t; Paddle shifters in the van!

[@charbvin]

That's an awsome project!

[@TBGaels32]

Not sure if this would’ve been an option for you, but have you thought about looking at some type of underdrive? Might of been an option for you vs going for a 6 speed trans.

[@drott150]

Would have been so much cooler if you had done a manual shift 5 or 6 speed transmission swap. Also, would have been more efficient in terms of increasing mpgs. Manual shift transmissions are inherently more efficient than automatics, which is why automatics need oil coolers due to their waste heat. And yeah, I know installing the pedal and linkage would have been a hassle, but so is all the stuff you gotta do for that swap.

[@DanKeeley]

Plus manual is much better off road!

[@richardthomas1743]

Damn that is going to be a big job! I bet it is expensive too.

[@jeffchapman4817]

How expensive are we talking? would you talk about this subject please; I also have a e350 van. going to be upgrading to a 4x4 soon

[@Thesaltymedic36]

The Atlas 👍🏼

[@MisfitOBS]

Great info! 99% sure this is going to be one of my next projects! Did you ever get an install video made? I just checked your channel but nothing stood out. Thanks!

[@jameskim62]

REPAIR VIDEO IS GOOD !!!!!

[@WeekendWanderersOverland]

Are you going to Twin Stick the Atlas?? I love my Twin Stick 205 in Yolanda Van!!

[@seansongmusic]

new to your channel... I am interested in your transmission install, how did it go? How do you like it, did you do an install video, can't find it.

[@eldridge201]

So I know this is about 6 months old now but I was wondering if you ever did this install and if so, how did it go or how is it so far? I tried to see if you had any updates by trying to skip through just a few videos of yours but couldn't find anything. Any updates?

[@blackpearlvoyager4174]

Jason, I couldn't help but notice Aaron's sweatshirt. Last time I drove by Dirt Road Garage It didn't look as though it was open anymore. Am I wrong or has it closed down or moved?

[@davidpatrick1813]

Do you a transmission temperature gauge? I am installing one used for marine purposes and it will be nice.

[@DanKeeley]

Pretty sure he does, he metioned before that's one that's really useful esp. When offroad

[@mikekennedy9174]

FYI I just put a new engine in my old bronco. Mostly built the same build but with AFR 185 heads . feels like double the power. So much so I have an axle wrap problem. like $1100 new ready to install. no I'm not trying to sell something

[@davidpatrick1813]

Can you have the CV style joints on both ends of the (a) drive shaft?

[@kencraig7308]

Thought you had the 7.3 in yours, your gas ?

[@DavidCroteau]

Do you have a follow up video to this?

[@arichoward9635]

Why a atlas transfer case over a twin stick np205 transfer case? It's something I struggled with when converting my van to 4x4.

[@jackwalsh1468]

Jason, the esoteric crowd would like to know. Is the replacement transmission a junk yard pick up or has this replacement transmission. Been torn down, thoroughly checked and remanufactured to new specs. Hopefully the latter. It would be a sad moment for the replacement transmission to fail after install. Just sayin Laddy. Now the only thing that would get me excited is to hear that Megan and you were planning to get married. That would make this old fellow very happy indeed. That and I'm being nosy as usual. Cheers, Mate.

[@jackwalsh1468]

@PrimalOutdoors1 You have been selected to Kiss Jason's ASS!

[@johnvirgilsgarage]

Hey man how's this swap going? I'm currently gathering parts to 6R80 swap my 91 F250 4x4 truck with an 800whp turbo big block and will be installing everything soon.

[@trevermccall6762]

👍

[@npegg]

lol the ending "oh also"

[@The_Riddler21]

✌

[@daveleeanderson]

And one more thing

[@brentonpickens1872]

I'll follow till you get the hightop.

[@Konstan-Zo]

is a 2nd channel better for those vids for your van ? i dont like this stuff, more camping and alone camping videos on this channel would be great greetings from germany ;)

[@SherriP]

Believe in Yeshua, He is the only begotten Son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He took God's wrath upon Himself, that was the punishment for everyone in sin. He died and rose to give you new life in Him. Born again, a new creation. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. By belief in Him alone you can be saved, you receive eternal life and you need to spend time with Him to know Him. Attend a church, read and obey scripture. Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need. He alone satisfies. Choose to believe because if you don't choose to believe you are an unbeliever and the unbelievers spend eternity in hell. God's Good and God's faithful 🙏 seek Him to know Him 🙏🕊️🔥💖

[@robertatkins4942]

[@raydewitt517]

Paint it before you install it. “The high top “

[@kdiddy7076]

Do you think anyone would spend the money you do on a 5.8l van if they were spending money from a job rather than KZbin money? I guess I question the ROI/value if it weren't creating content.
