SPECIAL DELIVERY! New Plans For Our 55 Nomad- Motor Pull and Delivery!

Some people do it for the thumbnail, we do it cause it's just plain fun. We pull the Blue 55 Nomad's Motor out- yes the same one we just put in mere weeks ago- because we want something more reliable, powerful, and with a cooler sound. So off it goes to Canada's BEST engine builders John and Cecil- in the most DD Speed Shop way possible.

I would keep it a 3 on the tree. If you are sold on an automatic, call Art Carr's shop at California Performance Transmission in Huntington Beach, Ca., order a 2004R and have them ship it. You could even pick it up during Power Tour West or a Route 66 Event. It is the same length as a turbo 350 and has great gear splits. We had one in my wife's '57 Chevy Wagon and it worked amazing. You won't regret it!

[@MSW-uf5zu]

i was about to recommend a well gone through 2004r. i have one in my car behind a 350sbc with 3.73 rear gear. works awesome. just want to make sure getting one from a monte ss, olds 442 or grand national.

[@dangrefrath9852]

I recall you driving this Nomad and enjoying the smooth, quiet, stock drive line.

[@dejock70]

Looking forward to you getting into a new shop. Hope you'll have a lift or two or three in there. You've paid your dues. You deserve it!!

[@-Mike-69]

I'm 100% with you Dan. All the hot rods I've built as drivers are built with easily obtained parts. If I have a brake caliper lock up on a Sunday, it's nice to be able to walk into a Canadian Tire and get a new one. Regardless you are still going to get the usual Canadian Tire fantastic service. I just like to be able to hop in a car and drive it without worrying about what happens if something dies. I've built cars with exotic bits and pieces and you get terrified when you drive them out of town. I just keep those cars close to home. So if you're building something you want to drive, make sure you can easily get parts for it. Any day of the week. And any place you are at.

[@richyoung9061]

Driving 3-on-the-tree is an absolute art. Personally, I would keep it just the way it is and make Dani learn the old ways. Be sure to mark the correct orientation of the throw-out bearing Dan!!!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

@@richyoung9061 it’s not an art. It’s no different than a 3 on the floor except you’re shifting on the column. My studebaker hawk is a 3 on the tree and shifts smoother than most floor shifted cars

[@Thecleananunseenteam]

😂 hahaha

[@MyGarage-uu5ld]

I have a 1962 Falcon with a3 on the tree, I love it...

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

I have a 57 Ford F 100 with a 3 on the tree.😊

[@deanrayne7302]

Loved the motor in the trunk. The NOVA luckily has a short tail pan unlike it's Chevelle counterpart

[@henryallisonsr8318]

Do what you have todo to make you happy. God bless and keep up the good

[@BertKlinger-su1wf]

Love when Dan starts oh just basically a stock motor and ends with 500 horse and fender well headers😅

[@matthewschneider2089]

Dude!!! Old days!!! Sb in the trunk and a rental cherry picker!!! Good old days!!✌️

[@davidanderson2393]

So when are the Canadian Griswolds going on their European vacation

[@bobrekowski631]

Have had more auto transmissions put my car on a tow truck than any other problem, only one of them was a turbo 350 though, great video as always

[@axemanfishing2703]

That gasser sounds SICK!!!!

[@robertkirkland5254]

Danny sees a rabbithole he has to go down it

[@dumpsterguy85]

You definitely have a type. All the cars become versions of the same thing essentially. Keeps the content flowing which I appreciate

[@billtopka2584]

Is there anything you won’t do? Oh well it proves you don’t need a truck or trailer. Old school engine hauling. 👍😎

[@unclebuzz6913]

POP A WHEELIE!!! GOD BLESS YOU 2 YOUNG'UNS

[@raylovins2188]

Done that a few times way to go Dano fit right in there lol

[@ohsoquickly_x]

You know I saw her leave that crane in there and thought, "HEY, YOU'RE NOT DONE YET."

[@davidlang9939]

GOTTA HAVE A SUMMER CRUISER AND A WINTER 4X4 BRUISER!!!

[@jamesf4405]

Dan, Daniel my brother!! Fun video! Hope you aren't gone long. Signed - Your Friend, Cancer guy 😊

[@gregpiecuch3802]

Don't listen to her, keep it a three speed.

[@xozindustries7451]

I agree with you, throw your 4.10 posi in it, 700r4or 4L60e, 327 with some aluminum heads and maybe a efi setup, just make it a decent cruiser

[@The_Kman]

Here we go again!

[@shanewright6958]

Let’s gooooo. It’s time for another good one 👍👍

[@robertbourinski8286]

Now I know who the guest room is for at Puddin’s Fab. DD Speed Shop is moving in with Puddin. 🤣🤣🤣

[@chucklutonsr1672]

This car should be a nice driver. Period. There is a lot of value and originality. Not to many in that nice of shape. Just my 2 cents

[@kenvickery7319]

those 283 are great little cruising motors. Millar Racing built one for me a few years ago for my 59 GMC 9320 Wideside. 9,5 to 1 comp mid to high rev cam. pulls good after 2 grand and easily revs to 6 grand without floating valves. t5 overdrive behind the 283. your engine looks good in the trunk of the Nova.

[@larrydixon-vi7ld]

I'd go with a set 300hp ram horns , 2 1/2 exhaust pipes , but no worries about exhaust leaks or starter heating problems, 350 trans with gear vendor , 411 gears , old school hot rod

[@waynesmith-r8c]

nova sounds sweet,nice bark

[@KixBryant]

The chop on the gasser is so good! It gets me everytime.

[@treetop.garage]

That motor will be great once rebuilt

[@allencobbs4047]

Do a hydraulic roller no pulling valve covers for lash adjustments and more drive ability great videos like what you do

[@jessygregg8414]

I agree

[@glennnickerson8438]

Dan: You getting the "middle age spread" or are the shirts shrinking in dryer?😆 Welcome too the club!😆😆😆

[@ScottFowler-p4w]

Love the channel and the fact that you and Danni drive it keep it up

[@jerrywillhite4412]

Dan, how about a 350 with camel hump heads and a hydraulic street/strip bump stick connected to a 400 turbo tranny? She’d make a great cruiser and tow if needed.

[@danielmorley6213]

Brother ICANT stop LAUGHING

[@michaeltaylor8529]

Hey Dan reallocating parts is a good thing. I’m a big fan of this. Keep up the great work love your channel !! From here in Ohio

[@timmiller260]

A idea take the hood to body shop and have it fixed no holes😊

[@Terkamer]

You’re welcome for the pan Dani !

[@davefrolik1189]

Awesome!

[@kevinwright1551]

Chevy 11 is looking awesome indeed. The motor in the trunk area. Awesome. Can't wait to hear it. Keep up the great work.

[@ktmcc4360]

You should run two fillers for the shocks, tied together it causes dramatically exaggerated roll as the loaded side pressurizes the high side. Makes a big difference.

[@Mr.Humphrey60]

It's your thing Do what you want to do I love you guys

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Great Video Dan and Danielle! Have safe travels Dan!

[@chuckschultz7028]

Imagine the clicks if the video were tagged "Two engined Chevy II gasser!"

[@ThomasThomas-wn3km]

Fenderwell headers 👍 I really love your Nova!

[@kevinl.2291]

Very cool Dan. I would do automatic but I’m getting older LOL 😂. Going to be sweet driver when you get it back together. And what better way to haul it in a freaking killer Gasser. Loved it 👍😎✌️

[@gremlinpat1686]

Go with the ram horn manifolds so much easier to deal with imo. If you don’t like em then go with a set of headers.

[@christiannelson7899]

3 on the tree is so rare these days!

[@bensymington5550]

❤❤ love your videos awesome😊

[@glenharper3136]

Thanks for the video.

[@SteveOverman-ou3my]

So glad you had left the Chevy I I with Dave. Cause if it was at Mortske Repair, your trunk would have been cleaned out! 😂

[@johnmundstock7950]

200R4 overdrive automatic would be the hot ticket for that car. Look into it, I know I've mentioned them to you in the past.

[@johnmundstock7950]

The 200R4 fits in place of the TH350 or Powerglide, same driveshaft and all. SERIOUSLY, look into it!

[@mzaccagnini7179]

Beautiful 55. If you go auto get turbo 400.

[@franksgarage8551]

Its pretty. Ya, pretty sad. John and Cecil will make it right. Just stow the manual parts in a box, can go with if you ever need to pass it on. You know, a couple bigger straps, maybe it will wheelie?

[@xozindustries7451]

My first car was a 76 impala, I fit an engine hoist, my tool box, hydraulic jack and jack stands, and a small block in the trunk so I could swap the small block 400 from the Impala to my 78 Firebird formula

[@mikehauri5939]

With all the other hot rods you have the Nomad would be a nice stock cruiser. That’s my thoughts but it’s your car make as you want. Just think it’s too nice of a car for that.

[@kenlamb502]

Leave it a standard transmission. We all need to be able to shift and drive a standard transmission car!

[@BlasterPA]

I enjoy the constant trolling about where you guys are moving to

[@number7__879]

Yeah!!!

[@copperdog6393]

You and Danielle make a great team

[@pontiac411]

Trick Flow aluminum Dbl Humps from Speedway would be the ticket.

[@markmckeachnie4484]

Man I love Douce . It sounds so cool 😎

[@tomlohan4741]

Turbo 350 and a gear vender is a nice combo.

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

Did you ask Mortske about the Newmad ideas? You know that guy's a genius! 😁

[@knightdevil777]

Leave it manual !!!!!! Cruise a manual. If it's a "stockish" engine perfect thing for Miss Dany to learn.

[@jwszewczyk]

Something just plane cool about the 3 speed on the column.

[@davidmoore2942]

It's your car. Do with it what you want. Anything you do will be awesome. I'd also consider a vintage air system. Great channel!

[@bufords]

vintage air to expensive, cheap china air kit from ebay, quarter the price of vintage air!

[@KT-dm8en]

Stanadard on the column, leave it alone. You can pussify some other car.

[@spicedude6230]

Install a Hydraulic roller cam and lifters and you won't have to mess with them again.

[@davidwheeler5741]

Like your idea of a 327 with a solid cam. I ran 327 with 461 heads and a solid cam with 225/225 deg @ .050" on a 108 deg LSA in my 56. Sounded great and ran great on the street

[@ThatOneGarages]

Haven't been able to watch any Dan At DD SPEED SHOP IN WHILE

[@normstephens8354]

Looks like you're having a Corvair moment!

[@tombrenes2411]

My 2 cents It’s an ORIGINAL nomad Keep all the parts Have 1 chassis with drums original # matching block (can be made) original manual tranny and original rear end with a time correct radiator Get a new chassis tube arms a high compression 400 aluminum block and heads painted Tri power injected, 700r tranny auto, gear vender, and 9inch qa1 coilovers

[@born2wrench]

Solid lift cam requires maintenance all the time and if you don't run the valves. You could have issues

[@74hotrodmalibu]

first I thought No way there driving that Nova with the Motor in the back but Yup it happened Way cool LOL Keep up the good content have fun on the flight I hate planes Arrgg

[@petervinch8401]

I put a hydraulic roller cam in my 55, more streetable and draws 16 inches of vacuum . More lift than my flat tappet cam.

[@Mr.Humphrey60]

Minty D D SPEED SHOP

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Man the Nova is sounding sweet. Maybe a slightly milder cam in the Nomad I think? I'll bet it's the first time someone delivered a motor in the trunk of a gasser Nova to the engine shop?

[@AndrewHerbert-fw7qx]

I have a question are you going to start working on the Chevelle again I am really excited about the Chevelle !!! Love the show and we have been watching for some time now and hope to see you get back to the Chevelle keep the episode coming : )

[@guitarsrusinc2908]

as nice as that wagon is , you could take the hood to a body shop and they could color match that thing and fix it up for you if you plan on keeping do it while you have the motor out

[@MajorDan1138]

Twin-Engine Deuce.......ENGAGE!

[@Terkamer]

Wheelie Time !

[@dbcooper4375]

You should put an FE motor, maybe a 390, a nice set of headers, flexi hoses top and bottom, in it just to troll Mortske

[@1944chevytruck]

good job!

[@johnchambers12]

Enjoy your trip , see you soon! What car are you taking? I know, the tow truck just in case you find another project for next spring!

[@rickypevey7751]

I like the idea hauling the engine with Chevy 2

[@SayWhut276]

Dan here, DD ADHD Speed shop...

[@Robert-ni6ut]

Dan the man still #1 record holder for engine replacements lol😅 and yah I vote automatic trans ❤

[@-Mike-69]

Hopefully your new shop in Russia is equipped with a hoist. I see a lot of Ladas in your future.

[@captainschannel9331]

What’s the benefit of o solid lifter cam on a driver?Seems like an unnecessary hassle….😎🏴‍☠️

[@brettemerich3237]

That engine in the back of a Chevy II is really pushing that car to extremes

[@HankWeidman]

Your Good 55 Nomad Fine! I wish I had mine back😢

[@nateb8245]

Get the OD working.

[@timmygiles9554]

Dang Dan sounds to me like your getting really smart!!! I’m so proud!!! Other than that I’m having a bad day!!! No tolerance for what if today!! Bye

[@ronsherfy6291]

I must admit I once hauled a 350 in the back of a VW Rabbit! Hillbillies get it done just a different approach! 😀😀😀

[@Automated14]

Auto on column would be perfect for that car

[@jefferythomas2718]

Put a 327 in trunk of 66 Fairlane to auto class back in the day.

[@christopherarmbruster6241]

Good 4 u...if just want 2 have fun...part will be easy 2 find anywere..I have a 51 shoebox ser up like that...sbc no dickin!

[@TheCarFarm]

"When is squirrel boning time?"

[@bufords]

put in a 700r4 just don't use the early ones as they were weak and tended to break. A nicely rebuilt 700r4 cheaper than going with a gear vendors setup.

[@slammershop9518]

I have Holly/blackheart exhaust on 6 litre ls..sounds great and doesn't consume all the space
