When The Motor Doesn't Fit, You Cut It In TWO! BEATER 1955 Chevy Nomad Engine Fitment

[@bwsgarage]

Thank you for the mention Dan, was alot of fun at the parts shop. I will check about the driver window track tomorrow. I have already made a nice box for the trim. I will stop at the post office for ship quote Monday as option. Nice job modification on oil pan. ✌

[@markpalio5786]

I Watched that Video and Liked It for Ya! Very Nice of You to grab that Stuff for Dan!! Good Luck with your Projects.

[@clasicradiolover]

Me too. That popped up on my suggestions. Spending DD Speed shop's money. I had to watch it and like it!

[@DDSpeedShop]

Thanks for the support guys!

[@tonymorse7178]

Firing her up really motivates me. It's like it's "back to life". You are a worker my man....that car has come a long, long way.... the engine is the "heart" of the car - bring her to life!!

[@philjohnston9616]

With the bulk of the welding done and the motor and trans mounted she's a car. Pretty much at the start of the "all down hill from here." Awesome effort. Thanks for uploading.

[@haroldrogers6083]

I think we all love it when Dani is in the shop !

[@thewesmanmyonestallgarage7280]

i first started watching during the build for Danni's 57, Your Welding confidence has grown out of control since the "T". I'm Diggin' it Brother.

[@tomthumb4767]

Great way to start my Saturday .

[@dano196568]

Your channel is my only sub that I purposely look for new uploads. Thanks for that.

[@xozindustries7451]

Single piece oil pan gaskets are the only way to go, good work Dan

[@glennnickerson8438]

"The chassis hardware is probably Nomad only and super expensive" -- humor at It's finest!

[@johnroof2663]

I enjoy watching you work on these old cars man. Just keep up the good work and I'll keep watching.

[@brianhaw9398]

Between you,Brent and Penny's all the hotrods in Manitoba are going to be roadworthy soon. Keep up the good work

[@davecarey7452]

The old Nomad is shaping up. Heard you say that you're going to paint it. That should be good for a few extra likes.

[@randomyank7777]

Loving it , as usual , Dan ! You are so . . . undaunted . I had to laugh when a Bobcat ad popped up . Don't they know Dani is advertising their product already ? Any who . I was glad you tried some helpful advice on drag link / tie rod end removal w/o a smoke wrench . I'm a fan of never-seize myself . They should call it never clean , because I have yet to use the stuff & Not get some on me somewhere , every time . Life . That's the 2nd oil pan I've seen you modify , w/o hesitation . Considering the project level of this build , extreme , i.e. "roof with a title" & replace what is missing &/or see through , that being most of the rest of it , I'd say you make it look like a walk in the park . We know it's not . The cash outlay stops most of us in our tracks . The hard work stops more . The fact you can make videos without all of the "adjectives" , F@#%* , tells me you have an excellent editor . Kudos Dani ! Keep giving it , Dan ! You are Rocking it !!!

[@DDSpeedShop]

Thanks man! Just gotta keep moving forward till it's done.

[@allenbeaulieu7077]

You are the man Dan. You make it look easy and a guy like me would take a whole day probably to get it done. Can’t wait to see more. Big Al.

[@greggonzalez7396]

Great video Dan and an excellent job on the pan. I enjoy each explanation on the task at hand. I also cracked up with your comment about old guys and a flip phone. That describes me perfectly. Great way to start my Saturday morning.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Haha thanks gor watchin greg

[@3MonkeysGarage]

There is a little "wrench" for those tie rods. It has a chisel tooth that slips in the groove, then cams against the sleeve. As you put pressure on it, it spreads the sleeve while turning it at the same time. Pretty handy and easy to misplace in the shop too. If you do a lot of these front end parts, it is worth investing in.

[@andreweisan9613]

Cut a piece of 3 inch exhaust pipe in half, notch the oil pan where center link sits and weld the pipe in

[@dextervonwhiplash1755]

Great episode as usual! I am always amazed how Dan takes on all of these challenges without any fear or hesitation. Just does it... and makes it work. You can tell he loves this project, especially by the "ill get this jerked off" statement @11:20 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tombrenes2411]

Great viedo series on the Nomad Drag race all the tri 5s see who has the best times on the 1/4 mile

[@kevinl.2291]

Another great video Dan. Oil pan came out nicely. Keep on trucking it won’t be long now and this beast will come alive. 👍😎✌️

[@Zazu2You]

I'm getting quite familiar with Tri-Five Chevrolets, thanks to you!! You make this look easy, because you know what you're doing!! Cheers!!

[@DDSpeedShop]

I'm.just winging it

[@Tim-57]

@@DDSpeedShop No you are not🙂

[@Nova.1971]

You made that look way to easy!!! Well done Dan & Dani

[@catman19]

Dan,,,there's a special tool for tie rod sleaves that hooks onto them that pulls the sleave open, you can use a rachet or johny bar. Harbor frieght or Pricess Auto has em. Cheaper & faster than acetlene. Cheers

[@joesheehan6000]

Take back previous msg, guy is a mechanical genius!

[@deancooper6300]

13:00 old guys with flip phones... sick burn Dan. The only other way would be to wait until your film is ready to pick up from the chemist...😂😂👍🇦🇺🇨🇦

[@wilburcowart9590]

Your work bench looks just like mine. I in joy your videos,brings back old memories way down here in Fort Payne Alabama.

[@russupsidedowntopbottom955]

In the middle of your video and my power goes out man now I got to get on my phone great video Dan love it keep going

[@jamesruffner4880]

Won't be long Dan you will have the heart beating in that bad NOMAD LOOKING REALLY GOOD.

[@williamsizemore98]

A little bit of know how and alot of ingenuity is a wonderful thang. Get'r Done! Aye. I watch your videos pretty much daily. Love the attitude you n Dani have. Keep it up.

[@davidsolloway9349]

Coming along very nicely Dan. "Dan the Nomad man"

[@cmac956]

Hi Dan , good work looks great . Its come along way.

[@artjones2498]

years ago people used to use chevy2 v8 pans...or corvette pans....for these cars....when i did a few v8 vega conversions....i had to use 1 of them...in the 80s the factory chevy2 were getting scarce....so i started useing the corvette pan....

[@richardprice713]

Dan I saved alot of room when I put the booster on the interior side of the firewall and just left the master on the engine side; just a thought 🙂

[@johns9993]

Nice modification of oil pan looked like it had been enlarged for a other application at one time ! working out the little fitment problems one at a time as you move along !Great Job Dan !!!

[@PTE1957]

Old Dogs can learn new tricks, thanks for the lesson.

[@garymccord4277]

Nice job on the oil pan. liked seeing the location of the oil pickup tube at back of pan it will never move and always have plenty of oil to engine. Nice to see what was in the rotating assembly with windage tray, shows it will be one hell of a hot rod engine for the Nomad

[@PaulRhodes420]

BW is a cool guy knows his sh¡t!!! His car is gonna be a wheel stander!!! Aggressive power with teeth!! Glad to see you hooking up with the right folks! I'm always amazed of your skills! Rust to Hot Rod! 🚗✨✨

[@dominickmarge5049]

This nomad is going to be so nice when you get done Dan you are the man when it comes to tri 5s

[@patricknash1198]

Love the content..you are the fastest hack in the north...keep Givin 'er...

[@phillipbrenckle1930]

Think they make a one piece rubber so nice. U have great talent living the life

[@josephkimmel3602]

Really nice work on that oil pan. You hicks up there in the frozen north do some fine work. you have one of my favorite channels

[@keithharden7844]

This is my favorite channel.

[@josephkimmel3602]

He's up there. but there are a few other great ones but not many

[@tgvettes]

factory 62-67 Chevy II oil pans have kind of a front sump so they for sure won't fit a trifive. Now I see they make rear sump Chevy II pan conversions. The way it looks one of those probably fits the trifive

[@frankschwartz7405]

Hey Dan! The absolute easiest way to get those adjusting sleeves off is to:...... ...Buy new ones.

[@pugliesesspeedshop]

Love a Small Block Chevy... And some classic Ram Horns?! I know they ain't staying though... Diggin' it Dan!!

[@williamwallace1515]

Love from Pembroke ontario Canada 🇨🇦❤

[@thomasbailey8306]

Looking Good. Shes come a long way. You did a great job on it... Great Video

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Another great vid!!!

[@dochiliday8379]

Nice welding on the oil pan Dan

[@randyellis3116]

Nice to see you taking your time and not rushing through things on this build. Remember, haste makes waste. With this build costing you your childs college fund , you cant waste too much. lol.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Hags yeah. I want this one done properly

[@DarkFlamage]

Bias ply tires give the perfect vintage look to the car, (go well with your wheel choice too). Too bad they're not good enough to drive on when she's done. 😢😢

[@adamcarfield7201]

Looking good for a trashed car keep it up brother

[@THEPROSTETHICMECHANIC]

I saw a video of French Lake Auto Parts. They got a bunch of Tri 5s. saw some wagons with lots of trim.

[@Vet-7174]

Very Good Job on the oil pan clearance ,,,Good Vid ,Enjoyed !!

[@johnwhelan723]

Nice modification, can't wait to see this done

[@rodneybrown1696]

Coming along great, we’re going to love this when it’s done. At some point you’re going to have to decide which one has to go now that you have 6 Tri-Fives.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Yup. There's a few on the chopping block

[@spraybombchronicles]

I had some doubts on this build but I got to say your doing a hell of job bringing this thing back from the brink of death. Looking forward to more videos.

[@damianjackson9084]

Bloody brilliant Dan great build

[@richsmith6952]

I’m enjoying following your build. This will be a great ride when you finish. It’s fun to watch you problem solve. It may seem like it’s never ending but if you keep at it, you are going to get there. Nice work!

[@rattlekankustoms]

Looks amazing Dan! Great job on the pan

[@jaivette]

Nice welding and fabrication 👍

[@bobkroupa8445]

Great job on the pan! Looks Factory!

[@dylanhazee6634]

Hey now look at that i was about to order a new pan for my own project. Im gunna be giving this a hack.Another awsome video again DD shop thankyou for your time ❤✌

[@DDSpeedShop]

Chop cut and grind haha

[@woodrowdelozier1]

Them welds looked great on the pan. Awesome job Dan

[@phillipschelbach3251]

You should keep the 55 nomad as your personal vehicle it will be a sweet looking ride

[@morgansword]

I gave my nickel for privilege to view. Not much but it all counts. I do one other thing Dan, I measure how deep the pickup screen sets in the pan and make it about a inch off of bottom so no interference with suction and benefits of the extra oil. Weather I modify it or not, I stake that pick up with a tack weld so it can not work loose inside after its ran a while or not. I have heard of them falling off and it really sucks ... or can't in that case

[@thomasdenton5204]

Congrats on your 80 k sub 100k right around the corner go for it DD Speed shop 🚗🚘 ya!!!

[@DDSpeedShop]

Thanks buddy!

[@gillysixtwofour943]

Great work on that pan

[@thman6453]

Coming along nicely 👌

[@leonardowilhelm1029]

At 1:10 mark, Dan says "I DO want to paint this car." I am absolutely climbing the walls in anticipation of what color(s) you choose. Also, I love the look of the ram-horn exhaust manifolds on your engine. Hopefully you coat them in some high temp coating/paint. Also, please paint the harmonic balancer. Thanks

[@jeffsratsrodsrebuilds1535]

That oil pan came out nice, engine looks cool too looking forward to hearing it run. Take care man.

[@toddcordell7756]

Awesome job on oil pan looks good

[@joesheehan6000]

[@94jimmy5]

Nice progress, Dan. Adapt, improvise, overcome. That's hot rodding.

[@nathankerry3256]

Coming along very nicely dan

[@thehoule70]

It looks awesome Dan !!!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Wow the Nomad is really moving along! Nice job modifying the oil pan and thanks for sharing the DD Speed Shop original tie rod end removal trick!

[@Frontireadventures]

Exciting to see the progress.

[@60chevyjim]

Dan the engine firewall and chassis looks great and your welds on the oil pan look great too. keep at it , as fast as it is coming along it will be done before you know it. cool that BW found you some hard to find nomad trim pieces for it. they have some nice small block 3/4 length stainless tri 5 headers on ebay for less than $150.

[@MegaMikey64]

On my Chevelle 64 I had booster + master from a 77 Nova linked by proportionalvalve to stock drums, car braked too good, but that would of been adjustment. No problem via rocker cover.

[@fredgillick3071]

Hey Dan, looking better and better each day you work on her. Did you come up with a name for her yet ? How about Mrs. Frankenstein, she sure was scary looking when you brought her home. I bet 90% of your subscribers would be afraid to take her on. lol Keep up the good job. Looking good day by day.

[@Wooley689]

Always need more parts, that's for Dan sure.

Beautiful piece of jewelry for an awesome car. Loving this build . Great work as always Dan!

[@craigcaggiano431]

Pretty cool how you modified the oil pan to fit the center link and sharing the journey to replace the tie rods too

[@poorpossumsspeedshop5746]

Looking great Dan! Will be doing burnouts in a couple days. Oil pan came out nice.

[@MrIgor1955]

Nice job! I had to do the same modification to the oil pan on my big block '55 Chevy Bel Air HT. Depending on your cam and engine vacuum, you may need a remote vacuum can or pump to generate enough boost for the power brakes. I mounted my remote vacuum can on the drivers side cowl side hidden between the fender and cowl. My cam was pretty radical though. Can't wait to hear that beast run. Keep up the good work.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Yeah. I'm hoping this motor is tame enough that it won't b an issue

[@morgansword]

Thanks!

[@DependableAutoTruck]

the make a tool that fits in the slot when you use it the slot is opened as you turn worked at a shop the front end man had one worked great.

[@chrismathews4478]

You’re doing a great job Dan.

[@Tim-57]

Hey Dan Awesome as always🙂 Bamboozled into brakes...haha😅 Take care of Yourselves😁 Edit: I remember your adjustment to another oil pan.

[@terrywilliams667]

Nice welds on the pan, man!

[@DDSpeedShop]

Haha they should hold

[@vincentenk4449]

Nice job Dan. Now to go out to my shop for MY nightmare!
