Any Engine + Any Transmission Part 2!

Don't limit your choice of transmission to the engine you already have. It's simpler than you think to adapt the transmission you want to the engine you have. This is part two of a two part series. Watch part 1 here: • Adapt ANY Engine to AN...

it will depend on the final goal and the limitations you impose to yourself, you do not have many people on YT building a (mostly) period appropriate 20's-30's speedster from scratch

[@kiyosenl.3889]

Its not for a lack of skill its just a lack of interest, sure its cool but its not what they want to do and its not profitable for all those shops who build cool stuff to sell

I agree, this channel and Bad Obsession Motorsports are my two favorite car builder channels. Skill and ambition are the only things holding most people back.

Cool set of great videos. I recently became fully disabled after a gradual decline over the last 5 years or so. I was the the first and only fabricator / machinist that my company ever had. I started as an operator and as my abilities became more obvious to them, my job description increased exponentially . I eventually explained that after a significant investment in several pieces of equipment and tooling, It would pay for itself within a year to 2 at the most, and save many thousands per year after that. They were interested enough and told me to find what I would need. I found a good Bridgeport with a D.R.O., a Clausing lathe and an industrial 18" band saw. My suggestions worked out as promised and it changed how things got addressed from then on. There is not much that can't be done with good running machine shop tools and the knowledge /experience of how to use them. These video's felt like I was watching myself during a days work. Man I miss it already. Great work, brother and Thanks for the awesome videos ! :) Subscribed !!!

The whole Jaguar engine was a brilliant idea for this car. It resembles the type of engines that they were running back then. It should sound great running through the gears. I also no what you mean by its nice to see a six for a change.

What LOOKS to the uninitiated to be "rough and ready" work is ACTUALLY a skilled guy at work. Mr Macro Machines is actually quite modest with his throwaway line: "All I'm doing here is.......". If you haven't done anything like this it's NOT as simple as he makes it......plus he's quite adept with his bandsaw, his mill and his lathe. The learning curve on a project like this can be quite steep if you don't have the requisite skills....and a knowing eye. Measure THREE times and then cut once. Bravo to you, sir, for showing the world that an "average" guy with lots of equipment CAN do stuff in his own shop instead of buying the bits and/or hiring out the work. I, too, can't wait to see the rest of the project.

If you put an indicator on the flywheel and put the indicating leg in the aluminum centering hole you can check your work on the alinement. By rotating the crankshaft you can check both planes.

Me, I have been rebuilding British cars my whole life and some American,I’m 59. 5 years ago I bought a Logan lathe. My friends thought I was crazy, what you going to do with that! Recently I bought a Bridgeport, Colchester lathe and surface grinder. My friend that used to say that, is dead after too much partying. I wish I would have started machining 20 years ago. I could have milled/fly cut any plate to adapt to anything. My 2.5 car garages is packed. I have 2 cars in it also. I pull them out when I want to machine. I have built hundreds of things, from barrel vices to any tool I can imagine. Many could be patented, don’t have the extra 100k to do that. I’m KZbin trained. Thanks for the time you guys/girls spend on these vid’s. We-all (new word) appreciate it. I like your car project.

Talk about talent!! Did an alien ship beam him up and transplant a master car builders brain in him!!! Really he is amazing!!! Plus the incredible array of power tools and mills he has and the stuff doesn’t look new. Was his dad a car builder?? He really impresses me and yes he should have at least 500,000 subs!!!!

One of the most enjoyable channels to watch. Like others I really am looking forward to see the finished speedster! Watching your tank build then this one... WOW! When I saw your engine and transmission sitting on the jack stands (one in the front and one in the rear) it reminded me of a 1953 chevy I had with a transplanted small block 327 and 4-speed trans. At first the engine was mounted off the front of the block (like the 55-57 chevy) and a transmission tail-shaft mount like the next generation. There was so much stress on the throwout bearing sleeve that it snapped off (a couple of times!) This was solved by moving the engine mounts to the middle of the block like the next generation configuration. Old guys just have to throw in their two cents!

Watching the first part my OCD was getting the best of me when you "kinda centered" the bell housing. You did address this in the second part. I am pondering how you could give it an absolute center as well.. and I imagine the more off the shelf approach that would not make either plate "Custom" to the center. But I learned from your videos and thank you for that. The world of Electric conversions is going to be all about this.

Back in the day I got very interested in mechanical design, I worked in civil and architectural design for several years and found myself applying for a position as an engineering tech for a diesel turbo manufacturer for locomotive and tug boats. ended up getting the job and spent the next three years trying to figure out how to get more power. Turbine blades and cooling systems, tolerances and seals, fasteners, weights materials. All very interesting stuff. I loved it. Decided to learn more about the manufacturing side and took machine trades at a vocational school. Watching this video has sparked that interest again. Thank you. I bet tomorrow i start a new journey.

Thank you for sharing all of this with the world, and i am sure a lot of people have learned a lot of things, like top tip for getting holes in exactly the right spot for bolts to line up. Machine a point on the end of a bolt. Cut the end of the bolt off to make a plug for the bolt hole, using the alignment pins press the two work pieces together, sharp tap with rubber/plastic mallet, centre punched perfectly for drilling hole exactly in place.

The collar and glue alignment process was most ingenious; good, unorthodox thinking.

As always, good tidy job and thought process lad. I have a question : If you haven't already taken it into consideration be mindful of the tolerance of the input shaft from the gearbox pushing against / touching the crankshaft. That would be a no-no and a recipe for disaster. It appears from the camera angle that the crankshaft isn't already installed, I could be wrong.... so I'm just curious as to how you measured / accounted for the length of the input shaft versus the end of the crank?
