Sticking The ENGINE Back In My CHEAP Corvette *Easier Than I Expected*

[@WatchJRGo]

Yes it's been a long time since I dropped a video on this channel. It started with fighting the weather, then Jared got married on Saturday. Tell him congrats in his comment below ⬇

[@robertobuenrostro2781]

It's going to run just fine. 👨🏻‍🔧

[@Cartier_specialist]

Congrats Jared or condolences whichever applies.

[@xkavarsmith9322]

Congrats!

[@RodderFiles]

what year did anyone decide plastic radiators were a good idea lol

[@jean-marcandjoshua-petsjournal]

Congratulations Jared!

[@steveluken3180]

I shivered when I heard "flash the ECU." I have a little PTSD from watching the R8 saga unfold. 😆

[@kylemcweeny878]

Jr I love how humble you are. Like when u were moving the engine and everything back under the car you knew he wasn’t lined up. But instead of saying you gotta go this way you said I need to go this way how are you looking. It’s so subtle and most people wouldn’t have even caught that but an intelligent guy like you I know u did it on purpose and I respect that completely

[@kevint8315]

Any vids coming on the car crusher? Keen to see that beast in action.

[@gregdiiamond3899]

Your brother getting married is no excuse for lack of content Mr. Ross!LOL Congratulations to Jared! May he have many years of happiness!

[@12yearssober]

Considering that the majority of marriages end in divorce I wouldn't bet on many years of happiness.

[@drewping2002]

Congratulations, Jared and his bride! Best of luck in your new life together! ❤️

[@danielversion1.035]

"the only thing that's unfortunate is that soooo much oil went on this one, the case may be full of oil... so i'm just not gonna look..." Sir... i like your style 🤣🤣👍👍

[@erichargis3349]

Vice grip garage style 🤣

[@johnhallman3896]

Hardest part of swapping an LS into your bargain basement Corvette? Tolerating the never-ending critiques of the peanut gallery. Keep up the interesting content WJRG.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I love the “while you’re in there” guys lol. While you’re swapping that LS6 you should have rebuilt it. While you have the trans out you should have rebuilt it. Heck no toss that bad boy together and rip the tires off her!!

[@jonsingle1614]

Nothing more fun than dropping the engine to do it twice ! 😁

[@carnstar]

Those guys are the same guys that have a car in the garage for 6 years collecting dust running out of funds Lmaoo.. just send it

[@jonsingle1614]

@@carnstar its only been 5 yrs 😋

[@rupertsheldon7081]

The only while your in there thats a real good idea is rebuilding the torque tube. Bearings and couplers are a less than $300 bucks. Takes a couple hours.

[@garysimonson9593]

somebody's done recent work in that engine as I recall, it shouldn't need another rebuild.

[@pops55650]

Glad to see the Corvette coming together. Can’t wait to hear it run!

[@greathornedowl3644]

Wow, admiring the World of Wheels classic car collection in the background - not that I was not paying attention. Tell the guy from The Government - great camera work.

[@anomamos9095]

If it’s going to cost you three times in labor than the part is worth to do it later Do it now. If you can do it cheaply later then leave it be.

[@Devastator0]

So keen to see how this car goes!! Fingers crossed for you mate!! Keep up the great work!

[@jhpedras]

I agree with the part of reuse everything but a good clean up just to check the leaks in the future.

[@janineloftin2151]

Hi John Ross, I just finished watching this video and wanted to let you know that I saw this video in my Google feed today. Have a wonderful week. 😊 Congratulations to Jared & the Mrs! 🥂 💒 👰 💍 🤵

[@robertspear9134]

Best wishes Jared and Mrs Jared!! Anxious to hear this thing start up, great content.

[@Akecherfd8424]

Your brother welds the air hole shut and you got a hair cut. Looks great.

[@Wheelhouseprojects]

It’s a special one - great color combo - no active suspension bs - now a killer drivetrain. I’m sure someone already mentioned but those body side modelings are a factory option and rarely soon on C5s (I think they look good).

[@alansmith4734]

If you really suspect that the 'Vette's ECU is rusted into place, would spraying the back side with PB Blaster help free it?

[@VanisleNSX]

Congratulations, Jared!

[@MrMattDat]

Very cool to see the Vette going together!!

[@Bicketybam68]

Congrats to Jared and the Mrs. Cheers from Australia.

[@tollefreyerson6710]

Congratulations JR! So cool seeing it go back together!

[@WildDigger]

Nice to see it all come together.

[@TheBrokenLife]

3:28 Wise words... I've gotten buried in the rhubarb a few times with the "while I'm here"...

[@richardfarmer6570]

Congratulation Jared. Great job JR, looking forward to first start.

[@Robsav-yx6vi]

JR, just do want you want to do on it. Don't worry about folks' comments Keep it fun. The while your there Never Ends.. And is So expensive. Huge Fan of your Channel.

[@damienreilly8061]

I totally agree with what u said about replacing things that don't need to be replaced but that would be freaking hilarious if the ac compressor didn't work when u got it put back together. 🤣😂

[@Braditanium]

Congrats Jared! Also, whens the Darell intro?

[@andrewdeming5285]

For real, he seems to be a great addition to the team. Let’s build him a car.

[@daysleeprx512]

“This is one of those cars that will be around for quite awhile.” Next week: “I sold the corvette”

[@riwoof]

Congrats Jared!! 🍻😁 And not to sound like a broken record, but when is the Rolls Royce going to make a cameo appearance at the shop for a little rear end work??

[@Lions7.62mm]

I hope you're using Duplicolor DE1635 on that sway bar‼️ A fella heard that's the best damn paint that sticks to anything... Forever!

[@andrewthomason3857]

Was hoping Carlos Ghosn would pop out of one of the road cases for the grand finale.

[@jesdadotcom]

While you had the door open you should have replaced the steering wheel, radio, seats, and gauge cluster.

[@kimosabbe50]

😂

[@erichargis3349]

I'm happy to see you have such an interest or passion in corvettes. I have been a huge Corvette fan since I was toddler! Love seeing this vette content. As far as I'm concerned, it's you're shop, you're cars, and you're money. Forgot about the comment trolls and do you JR!

[@dmann1209]

JR, that looked quite dangerous, I think I would have been more comfortable pulling down the metal rack...lol You two made it look easy. I am looking forward to hearing that beast fire up. Awesome and epic.!

[@ShadsGarage]

I saw you pushing the Corvette drivetrain into place with the Saturn Sky in the background. Giving me some expensive and dumb ideas...

[@jimschafer9196]

Great ... ready for the next reveal and that first start.

[@ryanputnam9462]

Subframe should be about 7 ugga duggas, I checked the specs. Congrats Jared!!

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Nice work John, she should be a ripper.

[@williamhospodar8702]

Is there any news on the '67 Camaro? I just finished watching that whole series and can't wait to see you finish the car!

[@jamesluke7377]

I'm under the understanding that EGR and other like products that delete EPA required parts are no longer available due to the EPA has deemed them illegal even though mfgs have printed all required disclaimers as "for off-road or race use only" disclaimer. I believe that questioned ruling is being fought. Don't know the status of that however. I did do a search and found some part. I think mfg of parts may have had a delay because of the EPA attack.

[@DonVDBorgh]

Congratulations Jared! Also, Durel, not hold & points the camera, can "pull a wrench" as well. Great team you have surrounded yourself with JR. 👍👍

[@bluemoth1879]

Blazen…:) She’s coming together. Yaaaboyyy!!

[@clifbradley]

I take it you hired Daryl, Darrell (sp) as your new cameraman?

[@jamesmyers3773]

Love the Corvette content.

[@troyblackwell3995]

Excellent content with tons of useful information. By the way, have you started the car crusher that you and your Dad were working on?

[@clifbradley]

Easy breezy beautiful Covergirl, I say to my kids all the time. Along with 'Is it real, or is it Memorex?' And 'And you, music lovah, you're next!' When they blast their garbage music through all the connected speakers.

[@12yearssober]

You must have been an 80's kid!!!

[@jaysonburns4423]

I would love to have one of these cars ....the cars you get the nost money out of are the one that are perfectly imperfect...this car is gonna be nicer then before the old engine went to crap...

[@M_Phipps0520]

Congratulations Jared

[@BossLinco]

Listen, while the drivetrain is out you should change the left side tag light lens screws. Naw just messin. Great content, I’m learning a ton.

[@kevinkyser1274]

This video is awesome!…I love it when you are working on corvettes! America!

[@MikeJohnson-ld9rn]

Hurry up J.R.! I am ready to watch you light the fuse.

[@bigrockauto]

Road Cases needed for every shop!!!

[@ItsaRomethingeveryday]

Can't wait to see it running, Liked Vid

[@mr_jake.y8348]

Can't wate to see that car on the road. Love your channel keep up the good work.

[@jackoconnell5524]

Congrats Jared.

[@Rob_Huskett]

"While you're in there" has to be the most expensive statement ever in car building. Sometimes you just need to get the car running and if the engine has to come out again then so be it.

[@scott01clay74]

Are you interested in going to one of Cletus McFarland events like the freedom 500??

[@nukedathlonman]

Almost ready for a drive. :-)

[@davidenorth]

My Artic white 1991 Corvette sits in storage waiting for all the Minnesota snow to go away.

[@mds2465]

yep you're right! I disagree with you on your philosophy of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" for the simple fact that you already have the engine out of the car. Now if you have any service records or dated parts to show that stuff was replaced previously that would make sense. But if you're going this far might as well do it all in one shot! Anyways, I have enjoyed this series and look forward to seeing more videos on this and other projects very soon!

[@duanefrancis9769]

Alright, alright, alright… you wanna fix the AC? It would be a lot cooler if you did.

[@handbanana6843]

Awesome.

[@haroldboyer1174]

Awesome video on information thanks..

[@fevengr9245]

Hey neighbor, nice work! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it (because, over the years I’ve broken a lot of stuff trying to fix things that weren’t broken). So, to sum up all the comments of the “nervous nellies”: “But what if something happens?!!”

[@AgtWashingtub]

Congrats Jared

[@TheMjphoto45]

What a job. Wow

[@baitse7676]

finally, the corvette saga continues..

[@Grunniger61]

NIce haircut! Continuity sucks, though :-) .

[@MACKDIESEL1102]

U need to shoutout ur camera guy n brothers socials!

I always cry at weddings. Not Jared's, but the vette's.

[@darrelhandgraaf7708]

Good job.

[@elia2441]

So who is this assistant Darrell 🤔, we see him around but I don't remeber you introducing him. Seems like a good friend

[@69Dartman]

It's so nice when all that stuff is just sitting there out in the open so you can easily do anything you need to. Hopefully it can stay completely together and just lift it back into place and done. I'm not fully up on how those are laid out and built. Watching now as you slide it in place 👍

[@michaeldecker2725]

It’s called “Winter” you can look up the time schedule.

[@Ulford]

JR, you are the worst time optimist ever 🙂"This will only take a few seconds". Twenty minutes later "done".

[@Fezzmo83]

Oddly enough I use the phrase "opps there goes the nut" just about every night.

[@31dknight]

Great video from JR.

[@michaeldecker2725]

Crispy sway bar, but, cruddy compressor.😆

[@Cedrickr]

I'm just not gonna look, because if I don't see it, it don't exist!

[@mikehuffaker3593]

Pry bar?!? You don’t need no stinking pry bar!!!

[@ronaldentrekin4106]

Why no work cart instead of floor? Your back will appreciate one or two.

[@fredrikdanielsson3605]

Man I'm in a rush but really wanted to watch this video so I put on x1,25 speed. Its like watching any other youtuber on double speed. I haven't noticed it before but you talk really fast 😂😂😂

That haircut transition though 👌

Where did the rest of the gang go?

while you were in there you should have replaced the oil drain plug

[@michaeldecker2725]

What about just cleaning the parts before installing?
