[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

great show thanks 🪖 👊🔥

[@greywolfwalking6359]

One step at a time...stuff like this can get ya thinkin! How did the designers , ever...come up with this stuff..n did they eeeevvveeerrr think that some " DIY " mechanic, would be tearing into the guts of their creation?? Lol! Ya got this??!! 👍🔧🧙‍♂️🪛👍!

[@davedegan12]

Is there enough meet for the larger hole sm465? I see the sm465 adapter is less than an inch. Might be a better swap for the flat finder

[@adhityamulyaandhika]

I have a question, can I use an amc sedan gearbox or a toyota rwd sedan / pickup instead of a Willys gearbox? Thank you 🙂

[@heyyoubuddy6749]

Good morning buddy how are ya? Looks like an sm420. Great old tranny super low gears! I will be doing the same thing to my bell housing behind my 225 v6. But will use a sm465 due to shorter over all length with a adapter. I can’t wait for the next video. Thank you so much for all you share. God bless you and you wonderful family.

Thank you! Yessir it’s a 420. I’m sure you’ll love the 465. That’s an awesome transmission! Thanks for watching! We really appreciate it!

[@brandonfuchs3499]

Awesome content! I’m getting ready to swap an sm420 into my 3a with the L134 and was wondering if you had to alter the main shaft to accommodate the pilot bushing? Thanks!

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Thanks! I’m running a cj5 flywheel with the stock sm420 input shaft and a custom pilot bushing I made.

[@brandonfuchs3499]

@@redeyecafegarage7484 Awesome, thanks for the info on this swap.

[@davedegan12]

Great video. Are you still using the willys throw out bearing? I see you welded the clutch fork ball stud to the sm420.

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Thanks! Yessir. The stock willys throwout bearing is used in this application. That makes it. Nice for booking up the stock clutch fork and cable.

[@davedegan12]

Which adapter did you use from the 420 to D18? Also some videos of the floor mods. Thanks!

[@jashann]

Hey Seth, amazing work! I'm working on a sm420 swap myself. Which adapter are you using to mate to the D18? I know advance adapters has a kit but yours looks a bit different.

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Thanks! Mine is a custom made piece based off of the advanced adapter kit.

@@redeyecafegarage7484 good stuff man! Love all your videos/posts

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Thank you!

[@187manowar]

Nice work again. Do you just do this as a hobby or were you/are you a machinist for a living?

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

I have a small machining and fabrication shop.

[@alanafbaker]

Did you use any of the original sm420 bell housing mounting holes? Looks like all 4 bell housing holes had to be drill and tapped in the trans case to fit the Willy’s bell housing

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

This is a full custom conversion. Nothing lines up. lol. The Willys and GM do not share any holes.

[@alanafbaker]

@@redeyecafegarage7484 Thank you for the reply! I’m sure I’ll have a lot more questions

[@alanafbaker]

@@redeyecafegarage7484 could you provide more details on the flywheel and starter that you used for this setup?

[@cubanstyle6643]

Ohhh man I just got my 1946 , and I would to know if are available to the swap on my CJ-2 ?
