NOTHING FITS! Greasy Motor Swap In My 2 Door Converted 1956 Chevrolet

[@terrymott8581]

A new DDSS vid, always makes for a better day.

[@andreasfiska7066]

I am truly impressed by the turnaround rate on cars and projects. Hats off for you two.

[@StevenAndrews]

look at you watching out for future dan...what a guy.

[@kevinwright1551]

Your Hot rod are awesome as ever. Keep up the great work.

[@paulmaigler289]

A lot of people cut the v-band and move it back to gain room, there are other up and forward headers that are shorter too. You shouldn’t use impact driver on the v-bands, it will gall up the threads but during mock up remove the locking nut and use a standard nut to save wear and tear on the clamp. Make sure you figure out it you turbos are journal bearing (which they probably are) or ball bearing, ball bearing turbos use oil restrictor and journal bearings do not, and oil feed points straight up so the oil drain points straight down.

[@brokenbackunlimited2187]

Nothing ventured nothing gained. I think the more room you can gain in the engine bay that's a win. I don't see how it can effect the performance of the turbo!!!👍 Very cool. I'm excited to see her run.

[@fred7854]

Hey Dan, I really think the cars you build are awesome. The two door conversions you do are cool as hell. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to own any of the cars you have built. Another thing, stop putting yourself down. You say stuff like, " you know DD Speed shop shady work". Also, " I do bad welds " and stuff like that. Your a wizard on tri fives. There's not a part on one you don't know or haven't touched. If you ever need to get rid of any of your conversion cars, I would be first in line to buy one. Love your channel and videos. Keep up the fantastic work. Take care and be safe.

[@LyleMyers]

The self deprecating humor is part of his schtick. He knows he’s a hack. A good hack. But still, a hack,

[@LeRoy-t5s]

Awesome

[@DDSpeedShop]

Thanks buddy! I appreciate it my friend

[@jimmartin2248]

Wow, as always, I am amazed at your tenacity. Keep up the good work.

[@Nova.1971]

This is very cool to watch.....Well done Dan.....!!!

[@VATION3RD-GEN-X-GARAGE]

You need to cut your headers back to the block and and weld the Turbo flange on the bottom of the header so you can place the turbos lower and turn the blowers around facing forward so the exhaust can be piped straight out the back instead of the sides👍🏻

[@NoWr2Run]

I know, WTF IS HE DOING ?

[@jagharingenyoutube]

Why does he have to do that?

[@George-dy3pt]

​@NoWr2Run whatever he wants clown

[@DDSpeedShop]

She needs a little cutting haha

[@davemckeehan7896]

Hey Dan, you could make it a 55. Just put a 55 front end on it.

[@1983CA]

rear are different too so it would still be a 56 but with a 55 front lol

[@pete540Z]

Nice. Idea for the alternator - the passenger side head is further back than the driver side, so maybe packaging the alternator in front of it will give you more room for the turbos, etc.

[@kelvinboyd7459]

Thanks Dan I love this LS stuff. I once built a 57 Chevy from the ground up the only thing original was the roof in the firewall. I put ALS one 4L 60E air conditioning in 4 wheel disk brakes. Took 4 years to do And I got drunk one night and agreed to sell it to someone for $80000. The a****** showed app the next morning with the cash I was sick

[@JamesKadel]

Love the 55 Chevrolet, had one when I was young, old and retired now fear I’ll never be able to afford another one…

[@darrylcampbell4411]

Well done Dan. youve dropped so many engines in and out of cars you could probably do it blindfolded. you make it look so easy. Enjoying the regular reliable and cool as content Dan. Keep em coming Bro.

[@DDSpeedShop]

A bigger bar always helps

[@mrscott318]

Finally caught one as soon as it is posted. Love the work and your sense of humor

[@LazyAHoleRanch]

I’d lean toward shortening the headers at the collector. It may still be a little weird around the alternator, but stuff can be jockeyed around a little with super-custom bracketry and such. It’s just metal.

[@crustyoldoffroader7436]

I love what you did with the trans mount. Reminds me of what I would do. Love the show, thanks for what you do.

[@Leo-vf3py]

Nothing ever fits that what makes Dan the van go great show keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all

[@jaymiller2213]

The turbo facing forward is the way I think it should go imo! Like you showed at the end. Really like this build and getting me motivated!

[@LeonardMagnusson]

hearing the people in the back round is o k dude.your a car guy. not a hollywood sound stage guy. dont worry be happy.

[@bmt638]

Flipped factory manifolds 👍👍

[@michaelcarmack4731]

The project’s keep getting better 😂fun to watch

[@hellgoblin3145]

I wish he would at least get a start on one of the Camaros 😍

[@ralphhayward5693]

I like to see how you get things done working on your own. Lots of motivation to others (me) in that! I would like to see a shared build too, just out of interest. Maybe in the future, bring a KZbinr to Canada?

[@johnd21]

Wowowow, Very nice I like. Turbos Would look so cool facing forward and sticking up through the hood a little bit. 💪

[@gregorypoole5648]

Really impressed with all the great advice/ suggestions from you guys on the old Interwebski to solve poor Dan's problems...way to go, people!

[@DDSpeedShop]

I dunno how great the advice is but I try!

[@dansimmons1964]

I can't wait to see you pull this one off! Its goingnyo be glorious 🙏

[@strokermaverick]

Way to go, Danie!! 17:00. That, was good, on you! The TV cable, is super important!

[@aprilhilliard3302]

Love watching you work your magic in the shop...best "hack" we've ever seen! Btw, absolutely love that pieced together flannel you've been wearing. Dani's handiwork, I assume?

[@Zazu2You]

DD Speed Shop's '56 Chevrolet "Bo' Nan Air" with a 5.3 LS and twin turbos. How sweet is that!! Time to burn up some tires, hey? Cheers!! 😎

[@BryanColliver]

a camshaft on a turbo car makes a big diferances in power. i drove around for 2 years on a stock turbo LQ4 then put a sloppy stage 2 camshaft and pac springs and man it was such a big diferance so much more fun.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Yeah lots of stuff to do down the road

[@rodrocket8216]

Cool cars, Cobber. Shame you don't like drag racing, coz all your cars are that style. Enjoy your day. 🖖

[@automotivechaos]

They also sell 90’s with v-band flanges on either side. You could use those and mount the turbos inside the fenders and use the fresh air vents behind the headlights to force air into the turbos. With the 90’s it gives you the option to clock them a little bit more as well.

[@ThomasThomas-wn3km]

Run the hot side thru the core support and put the turbos in front, right behind the grill. Sounds good anyway.

[@buckeyejim2989]

🗿💨was thinking the same👍 big tubes

[@DDSpeedShop]

Lots of good ideas

[@turkishmurphy]

Dan your right...I don't have enough stupid stuff and I got 3k itching a hole in my pocket ...and I just ls swapped my 76 short bed..you have talked me into something dumb ...thank you sir.

[@kitt7219]

Kitt here, DD's Speed Shop fan. Just keep doin what ya do man lol, I dig it. Thank you folks.

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

Great video Dan can't wait to see this tire ripper making turbo noises.

[@Mccabone]

After all the Taxi cab 55s and gaudy 57s... you finally stepped up to dark side with a beautiful designed 1956!

[@tomkelley1100]

Put the turbos in front of the rad. Run pipes through the core support

[@kevinhgreaves]

exactly what I thought.

[@vernonhill1240]

What I was just going to say.

[@NoWr2Run]

HELL, Never thought of that, NICE, MUCH ROOM ALSO.

[@norego6237]

10 seconds into the skid your turbo is starting to turn red (from the heat ) you are now pulling hot air through your radiator and intercooler ( how hot ?) and defeating the purpose of building a burnout car

[@tomkelley1100]

@@norego6237 off to the side in the dead area not directly in front of the rad.

[@kjellpedersen7565]

The day this car is fully restored. With new decor. New varnish. New tyres. Will this be a car worth 65,000 Dollars. You just do the job right with the car. New paint does a lot. Especially with nice rims and wide tires.

[@dnmtorp]

I noticed last video, But I'm glad that you found a solution to the pants problem.

[@glenharper3136]

Thanks for the video.

[@oldfordcarsandtrucks]

One of those "red plastic kiddie toboggans" work great for a coolant drain pan.

[@ericdeven1296]

Bring the turbos forward, extend the collectors through the rad support and then the turbos are up front in the fresh air and we'll be able to see them through the grill with the hood on. Just my 2 cents.

[@AllensAutomotiveReparations]

Before you hack up those Headers maybe you should just mock up a flipped manifold and see where that gets you they are utilized a lot for good reason ... they work just saying

[@wrenched90405]

it’s why I watch this channel - only other channel that uses the same four tools that I do - vice grips, dead blow hammer, zip ties and crow bar

[@wrenched90405]

kidding man, uv got skills on a whole nother level

[@brianschmidt2747]

Dan, my buddy and I used the factory manifolds. We reversed them, duh. It worked it gave us the room we needed.

[@fdholley]

I change a flat tire, you pop motors in and out....something tells me we are not the same 😂😂

[@DDSpeedShop]

Haha we're all the same

[@bentbike]

500$ engine, 2 turbos. I'm expecting a spectacular explosion.

[@glennnickerson8325]

Tired LS + Tired TH350 = Another Dan Gem!😆

[@steal0119]

Cool project car!

[@polatroyed8677]

Remove all of the core support flip the 90 bends down & that'll have both turbos up front in clean air behind grill...

[@donh8973]

Looking good I Seeing what your doing I never saw this before. You will get it done

[@johnniebraswell5256]

Add a 180 degree pipe to you v band turbo flange then it moves the turbos away from the core support and then you don't waste your money are parts already spent. Then keep going with everything else you have going.

[@johnhazard5231]

Looks like a old new York taxi.

[@GWBergen61]

Tell them kids to pipe down, can't they see you're tryin to build a noisy Hot Rod over here.😅

[@davidmobley5984]

Thanks 😊

[@Tim-57]

Hey Dan Always a great video with you.😊

[@rogervaughter1344]

That kickdown cable slides out

[@patcaza6166]

my favorite kind of stupid the stupid I'm not paying for thanks for your service, DD dude !

[@billthecomet8391]

Dan I used a tv cable for a 88-92 camaro with a tpi (if I remember) it's long and works perfectly for the last 3 years got it through Napa !

[@xozindustries7451]

Is there enough room to swap the headers side to side and mount them lower facing forward instead of higher like you have them

[@chrisarmstrong3200]

that car would look soooo good flat black

[@1944chevytruck]

PERFECT! GOOD JOB!

[@ronaldfarmer1208]

Just go for it Dan ! ! !

[@garylovelace711]

They sell shorty headers. I am putting them on my 351w. They are way shorter than what u have. Summit racing..

[@kevindavidson5843]

Ya the round ring looking thingy at the end of the manifold gives a fella the best flow? boost?? Wind per inches ya on a lighter note good to see man mountain Dan back in his bibs

[@jonas2rd]

Flip the headers side to side so they come forward low.. this will give you room for the alternator on top and put the turbos behind the bumper and the pipes to the intercooler shorter and look cleaner.. just a thought...

[@SeanJoseph-s2s]

Wow...moving along ...keep at it.

[@mytkc66atbat25]

DItch the turbos. If you just want to do burn outs, throw a real blower on it with NO2. No turbo lag, no wierd plumbing, no thermal problems. Of course your turbo 350 and rear end (even a 12 bolt) may frag. Fun watching you, keep up the soophisticated wrenching!

[@brotherdio4401]

Where's the fun in that? Have you ever watched the channel? You're missing the whole point of the DDSS build

[@thecommodoredecker]

13:56 yeah, pump the jam, pump it up! Thats a song right!? Lol

[@upandabove567]

Hi Dan it looks like it was half ass put together cool video

[@757optim]

A guy I know put twin turbos in the (rear) of his S197 Mustang years ago. Had to up the fuel system. First gear was useless and you had to be careful with the throttle in the other gears.

[@steveconnolly7129]

Set headers in first carefully lower engine and guide it in,its easier with out the trans.when going in,it will be easier to fit in mounts,good luck,

[@uncledaddy7972]

Maybe flip the headers side to side so they are still facing forward but lower and cut out the side panels under the core support to give you more room forward not sure if it will work but that's my 2cents good luck

[@billkasten1004]

That ratchet your looking for is wedged by the steering box!!!!

[@DDSpeedShop]

Thanks dude!

[@jemclenachan]

Still think a flat black would look good. Not great, but good. A DD Speed Shop Special.

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Now that's a true "LS SWAP"

[@armondoborjas4362]

Wow Dan. Making 4drs into 2drs is your thing. why not. your fast at that. Cool 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😑

[@HerbyB-b7v]

That would have been easy to lift out with the tow truck lol 😂

[@DDSpeedShop]

U ain't wrong!

[@CrazyWillie01]

Enjoyed it Dan , and I know less then you on LS lol😊

[@DavidWilliamsTellYourStory]

I wonder if you mounted the turbos under the header, for example on the drivers side flip it under and point in like it is. That way you can run bars across for core support.

[@dondavis6997]

Gretta's getting all angry at you now😮😮

[@GWBergen61]

Gotta say the montage music really kicks Dan👍

[@051570orion]

You could try moving the core support and hang turn the turbo elbows down and hang the turbos low in the engine bay

[@deney54]

Motor placement by brail .... a blind man would be proud.

[@chrisbruce8972]

You should have your paint guy put "no mor 4 dor" or "4 dor no mor" on the side.

[@chrisbruce8972]

"Luck fan"..lol

[@howardganzer9580]

I like watching your show man keep up the I like to have that engine for my project I am buying a 55 Chevy four-door but I love I want to show all

[@dwb812]

Funny how that whole "editing" thing makes those engine installs and extracts as butter as changing a tire...isn't it!??😂😂😂😂

[@dwb812]

Also, if you're used to timing small block Chevys, LS timing can be a bit challenging to wrap your head around those "high numbers"!

[@tracywalters5606]

They make a header kit comes in pipes you can make what ever you want and cheaper than the ones you have

[@mikesbackyardgarage5578]

Hey !!! I remember an interview with Derek at Vice Grip garage where you stated that the only thing 56 chevys were good for is parts cars !!!!! LOL !!!!! I agree with you but you said it out loud !!!

[@Jesse_gc]

You will figure it out Dan

[@gregorygibson5455]

Hello Dan and Dani

[@norego6237]

yes shorten headers weld on the t3/t4 turbo flange , weld blow of valves pipe straight onto turbo exhaust housing , better throttle response and better boost control , no elbow clock the turbos so they dont sit up in the air ( unless thats the look your going for ) give the exhaust gas a straight shot at turbin wheel , burn rubber for days . also try and find a way to suport turbo weight so you dont have to keep repairing your china headers google mavin mounts and copy them if your in the mood to fab somethig

[@rustybrowneye]

Russell stovers sugar-free peanut butter cups are okay

[@michaelkirkwood3316]

Look at the street racing channel they have a 61 Falcon with the ls twin turbo all under the hood and looks like the stock core support and everything in it so you might look at the picture and get an idea on how they did that they also have the guy's name listed on there that actually built the car because they didn't build it they got it as is and I'm not sure how they ran the water lines but the radiator is in the back underneath the trunk with two big fans on it and works perfectly because they drive it everywhere on the street with no cooling problems and with those big radiators and fans that you're running on them try five that should go underneath the back and have no problem

[@bobsch-gd6ze]

Is that the elusive 10mm socket on the floor beneath the passenger side door ?

[@brianr.9991]

24:37 looks like a ratchet and black socket in driver gearbox area😂

[@buckeyejim2989]

🗿💨closer ya put those turbo's to engine, the shorter their lives. Enjoying the build Dan👍👍

[@dougbauch9479]

The Turbos are sitting higher than the Fender. how you gonna put the hood on? Or you gonna cut the hood up?
