We shove a crate LS3 into my E36!

Man adding spoon and Austin completed the squad for me. So many awesome personalities. So much talent and quality. Love your work Jimmy keep it up!

[@jotorkamani]

sooooo true

[@zenythgaming6705]

Austin’s laugh behind the camera is hilarious

[@uhhokee1515]

the spongebob clip was just gold

[@pants2103]

Spoon being comfortable on camera is just a different character 😂

[@bradfordeldridge9329]

He got used to it quick.

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

He loves it now. Especially all the support we show him, he's enjoying all the love

[@SpaceBarbarian]

He was def the secret character unlock that we all needed

[@georgallasj]

@@bradfordeldridge9329it probably helps that he’s a likable guy so the more he was on camera the more commenters would gas him up.

[@unfknknown9678]

Just wants the $

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

Can we do a special shirt or merch for Spoon to help him fund his drift car build how we did with Brian. Spoon has been such a special part since he joined n he absolutely deserves it

[@jameswilson864]

They should definitely do this

[@muhsavages6010]

for sure, I'd buy spoon merch

[@noahtorres5280]

i remeber in a sub mail some sent a spoon chain/necklace with a spoon pendant, what if they make a shirt that had the chain mimicked it around your neck, gold too 💀🔥 im high af bro ma b, spoon shirt frfr good idea

An immediate buy

[@randalanderson4722]

Jimmy if you mount the bleader near the master you can dump the fluid back into the master so you dont lose fluid on a bleed. T Ray did it on the miata I believe. Also underdrive the power stearing pump. May help it live longer due to rpms. 👍✌️

No lie, the addition of spoon and Austin excelled your channel to leveled I didn’t expect. Can’t wait to see you rip this car the way you were ripping the s14 in Ireland.

[@emmanuelreyes6031]

I can’t believe this channel hasn’t reached 1 million subscribers yet!!! The content that comes from this channel is great from a great group of guys.

[@LuckettsGarage]

I just got done with my twin turbo LS3 swap. I went with a t56 magnum also and I love watching you go through all the same struggles and finding the same solutions I did! Building a comp car is all about simplicity, reliability and accessibility. Putting a LS in your car is just that! Great choice Jimmy! I have some recommendations for a few your remaining parts -Holley race mid mount accessory drive - Holley 102mm throttle body - coil pack relocation bracket - DW 1200cc injectors - Johnson lifters because you’re going to be bangin off that limiter - head studs Can’t wait to watch this thing rip!!!

[@__Chicooo_]

Late night videos the best 💫

[@G_Ozare]

Man this is my favorite automotive YT channel (sorry Adam). The vibes with the Oakes crew just hit different. LFGOOOO!!!!

[@shadowsandfire]

Ceramic coat all the things! Definitely worth it when your planning to sit on limiter it will keep alot of the heat out of the bay

[@LooseFab]

I just finished putting an LS in a datsun over on my channel. such an exciting milestone!

[@Notdb1gabe]

Spoon has been a great addition to the team I love how comfortable he is now infront of the camera

[@chrisrad9522]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but when you struggle with aligning the gearbox to the engine, put the gearbox in gear and turn the crank, it helps to align the two together. Just a small tip to try help, I really enjoy the channel thanks for the awesome content

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

Lmao Derek "swing that ass this way" goes right in "funny how that works hey" mans is the biggest smart-ass in the world n we love him for it

[@ProbablyShouldntDailyThis]

Just wanna say, fron seeing you swap a ls into the Zed, and helping LZ with his harness on the creme 240. I get so much serotonin watching these videos. You have worked your ass off. You and the gang are killing it

[@1slowawdpanda]

Don’t know if anyone else has commented yet but the MGW shifter offset at 12 o clock would put you where you wanted the shifter and works a bit better than the stock tremec shifter. Also it’s way easier to bolt the engine to the subframe with it out and lift it up into the chassis similar to how an fbody and vette go together. Takes me about an hour and a half to drop the entire drivetrain out of my LS E30. Glad to see you not fighting and going straight to a competitive drivetrain! I know you mentioned it in the first video but I see way too many people spend a bunch of money and lose a lot of seat time trying to be “different” because LS swaps are so common but if it works and you can win by all means there’s a reason they’re the go to

[@jasonlouis5498]

MGW at 12 o’clock is the move. That’s what I did too 😎

[@bigmikepimp2003]

Do the rear mount radiator that way you do it once. Hard lines to the back... boom done

[@jaydub8576]

Congrats Jimmy and the crew on 500k subs!!

[@brandoncrider3697]

Should make a shirt to support spoon's build! Maybe a cartoon spoon holding a welder and grinder would be a dope idea. Either way I'd cop one to help the man get his build going.

[@hyper8545]

This dood saw Brian struggle for 2 years n said yeyeyeyeye I need that

[@LegendTheOGMUB]

Spoon is the man!

[@heknowswho]

Gotta love the whole crew man!

[@EXZACHTPERFORMANCE]

Can confirm bellhousing bolts are optional. My bosses 2000hp drag car has 4 bellhousing bolts, they are high tensile and decent size but only 4. Car does wheelies and 7s.

[@richardfrost8752]

I can wait to see spoons drift build. Specially his engine set up . Its gonna be so fire seeing them drift together

[@Darkhour21]

Really needed to get the 302-1 oil pan. Recently went thru this and my BMW is rhd. The sump pan I mentioned gives more drop clearance and back clearance to the steering rack.

[@jdmfreak22]

Jimmy, Spoon, Austin, RJ and Steve are the dream team for real. You've built a hell of a team there Jimmy, and it shows!

[@bgbdcam]

I can't wait to hear that thing scream with a LSA Blower on top. I know it's not usually Jimmy's thing, but this channel was overdue for something different, and a crate full of bald eagles was just that something

[@wandererdigitalmedia]

Spoon and I rocking the THREE-PEAT SHIRT!!! Hope to photograph and film your cars one day Jimmy!

[@shadowsandfire]

Its my Birthday and ill cry if I want.... haha don't stress my friend, on that first fire up and drive you will forget all about the cost and just be stoked you pulled the trigger on that fresh build 😀

[@jayjellison7761]

I know everyone is in love with Spoon but damn yall..the timelines for these builds are flyin!An the boy obviously makes that happen!

[@HalftonJohnson]

LS Fits surprisingly far back in the bay love that

[@Evorkahn]

it is one of the reason that engine swap is popular for a drifting build 😉

[@Thewatson77]

Super nice gear going into the E36. Should toss some anti seize on them dowels next time 👍🏼

[@Bailey1jz36]

On e36’s. On the side supports there’s two bolts on the bonnet. If you undo one it allows you to open the bonnet abit further to the ‘service position’

[@thomasj.kappjr.929]

Can't wait for first start,test drive, drift, all the first's. Going to be so awesome.

[@isaactezza]

That submail present to spoon really gave him confidence on camera

[@TurboLundin]

Put the radiator in the back, best mod I did on my driftcar. Always stayed cooled, just a pain to bleed the system if you stay with the stock style waterpump. Tip, use some electrical tool to spinn the waterpump pulley real fast, gets the air out then your good to go👌

[@addicted2fuel245]

If your doing a supercharger the best pulley accessories to use would be from a C6 Corvette and they sit closer to the block which gives you more room for fans and radiator

[@hammerswrenches2174]

There's tons of room in length... straight 6 engines are a mile long. Bmws have huge engine bays.

[@benwuebben5201]

Those long tubes are a clue as to what kind of boost your leaning toward… supercharged James!?! How awesome

[@macnsteezzz]

Beyond stoked for ya jimbo, between the car collection growin, to the squad hitting Ireland an such, an now crate motors too!? Hella proud of y’all

Going well so far, nothing you couldn't overcome. And bluetooth steering will work perfect. Shout out to Spoon, that is a cool t-shirt.

[@morgantim13]

I really want to see you guys go through everything vehicle and write a list of all that it needs to be finished. Show us the buying process, delivery and install. So many of your cars are unfinished. Time for a spreadsheet and some logical progression. So much content showing the original buy, build and using/ breaking in each car.

Dawg Ants brother is HILARIOUS LITERALLY EVERY VIDEO.. 🤣🤣🤣 He’s like everyone’s dad whose really just a big brother lmao

[@tylersecor4668]

First these videos have been killer lately. The crew is so great at there jobs. Second, I love watching Jimmy’s internal struggle of keeping the e36 oem and wanting it to be a very competitive drift car. The two can’t both happen.

[@Frate84]

Love Derek dude reminds me of all my friends back home

I don’t understand how it’s this hot outside and Jimmy is still wearing all black & jeans. Mad man

[@urdoneson46]

you changed and your content changed after spoon entered your life

[@jonsquatch]

Seriously would have considered putting a steel SFI bell housing on that beast... its probably not required for tech, but big torque and lots of clutch kicking and lightweight flywheel, its probably a good idea if it will fit.

[@sanjoriot]

Congrats on 500k Jimmy!

[@Tim_M56]

Wasn't able to comment in time, but this is a very big step for you Jimmy! While I loved the turbo BMW engine, this is going to make that chassis much more competitive in the field now of people that bring in almost FD-level race cars to those events, and driving a consistent and well performing car will help you get better and better. Don't feel ashamed for the LS, never understood the hate against it; cheap and easy for big power, and if something breaks you can go to a local AutoZone and that part will likely be there, what's to dislike?

[@chandlerbraaten847]

People hate it because it's over done. But it's over done for a reason.😂 it also feels like cheating because its so easy and you know it's going to work.

[@sprackryan]

Two in the top two in the bottom of the bell housing two in the starter hood too go haha
