@My Cancer Journey Hey Maria! UA-cam is a fight all on its own. Keep doing what you’re doing and post all your experiences often. Stay as positive as you can without masking your struggles and your videos will help many. Best of luck my friend, and you’ve got this. 🙏
Groundhog strike at +-21:10, about 40 seconds repeated at about 22:00. On review, relieved that I hadn't had a stroke. Who doesn't like video on threads and tapping drill bit size? Another great video!
Been watching you for awhile now. Excellent fabrication skills and like that you clearly explain all that you do. Bravo with the dry humor. Glad this day ended well.
Those engine mounts look strong, they look custom, and they look like a perfect solution to at least one of your many "engine conversion of wrong engine into narrowed frame rails" problems that I have no doubt you'll resolve. Fantastic. And - hearing "Keep Moving Forward" at the end of each video is is microdose of positivity that is a little gift for everyone who watches right through to the end. Brilliant.
You are always appreciated, Craig! The problem I struggle with most is my tendency to create more problems with my problem solving ideas. 😩 Thank you my friend. See you in the next!
I love watching you make metal come together to help yourself on the projects your doing . When I work in my garage fabrication stuff I get so nervous after 20 years .sometimes I can't weld I get so mad at myself. Those days I just go inside my house and take a nap .iam 63 I can do that easily. God bless yall real good.
Yessir! I feel you there. I’ve fallen asleep laying on cement under a car before. No problem sleeping here either! Man I love sleeping. I could really go for a nice sleep right now actually! Meditation has helped my patience level quite a bit. Learning to breathe and enjoy the moment takes a little frustration out of things that just won’t go right. I too will periodically mysteriously will forget everything I know about welding. That’s gotta be an age thing.
Yup, love this guy. Works like I do. So many mistakes and set backs but he keeps pushing. Works through adversity. Can’t wait for blooper reel where he filmed all the moments he found faults. There is a language explicit to garages for moments like these. My wife can hear when things go wrong in my garage.
I have absolutely no need of a jig like this, yet I find myself really wanting to make it. Your videos make me think I can do and build anything. I'm truly so glad I found your channel Aaron! Thank you, once again, for sharing your skills, knowledge and humor with us. I look forward to your videos and I always enjoy them. Until next time....
@@GarageFab WTH Aaron, this comment was supposed to be on the next video about the adjustable jig.... I must've been binging your videos (again) and typed this comment out under the wrong video. *note to self... STOP drinking the bong water!
About 2 months back I had to do the same drill and tap a hole in my engine block for a motor mount... It all went well but I'd been so more confident if I had seen this before 😂😂 Awesome work on the mounts!
I think confidence in times like that is dangerous. It’s probably better to be scared to death and have an over-abundance of caution. Thank you, Renato!
That's a great style of mount. Compact, simple, looks good, the bushing gives you some vibration damping, and plenty sturdy with a beefy through bolt in double shear.
Thank you, John! Super happy with it at then moment. Hopefully not too much engine vibration since it’s just meant to be a cruising vehicle for my Wife.
I appreciate your non-commercial approach to your work... it is authentic and real! The problems you run into is every man's delima. I can weld, and now you give me confidence to figure it out. What's that "I-can-do-it power music"?
I honestly love your videos. Im building a wild car myself. BMW powered 3g prelude Si, RWD converted. You have shed a significant amount of light on a few of the challenges i've been facing..so....thank you, sir.
@@GarageFab hell yeah man thank you! So far the drivetrain is in, now im working on a custom suspension, with help from your videos on pinion angles and link bar/control arm lengths, etc.
Thank Brother! The video style is ever-evolving. I’ve been trying to let my ex-wedding photographer mentality go and embrace a more candid/rough filming style. I’ve gotta be able to speed things up if I’m going to last.
A 4g64 mighty max pan has a flat bottom, not sure if that helps at this point. The AWD/FWD pan has that goofy slant. You'd need the matching pickup and to add the turbo drain fitting (people typically convert to -10AN anyway). This is true for 6 bolts, not sure it carries over to 7 bolts as well. There are also other oil filter housings from other model vehicles that give options on filter placement. The mighty max housing points the filter straight outward toward the frame rail, could be better or worse. That bolt in the way of the driver's side mount is the balance shaft alignment inspection hole. If you delete balance shafts you could have deleted that bolt, just put some RTV around it. No reason not to keep it though. The moveable card stock bushing template idea is brilliant, I'm using that when I replace my solid mounts with bushing mounts! Love the project, love the channel, glad you're back.
Happy to be back, Kevin! Thank you for the food for thought! I’ll consider it all (except the pan. I’m lazy and it’s off the ground now) I’ll be looking into the other stuff though. Cheers!
Awesome video as always!...I love the sharpened bolt trick to mark your template, that was pure genius! Thanks for posting the link to those. Hougen roto-cutter bits, I need those in my life!...can't wait for your next video!
You said it best at the end of ur video about life and fabrication. Also, it's an awesome feeling when ur fabricating something that nobody else has done, and it comes together perfectly. We'll done my friend, we'll done. 👏👏👏👏
You, sir, are an amazing fabricator and builder. The quality of what you make is outstanding. Your videos make my day, I learned so much from you. Thank you for the great content.
Right?! No better feeling that to create some thing that didn’t exist before. I bet a machine shop would help! I can think of a few things that could use some machining.
I actually just finished doing almost the exact same thing in my truck. I crammed a 6bt into a k1500 a good few years ago with some solid mounts I slapped together just to make it work. Finally got around to building some proper mounts with fab bushings like yourself. Its a night and day difference.
Yes! Admittedly this will be the first time experiencing poly engine mounts for myself. Hopefully vibration isn’t too bad since this truck is for my Wife.
@@GarageFab I would say the poly mounts are a happy medium between solid and rubber mounts. I'm curious if the difference between a lifted truck and a bagged truck would make any difference on the vibration. I have 10"s of rubber between the rim and the ground. I'm wondering if that helps dampen the overall vibration. I look forward to seeing the results you get.
Absolutely. Air suspension absorbs a lot more road vibration than typical springs. But your fat tires will absorb far more than my low profile tires. It’s like we both have air bags, just in different locations. 😂
Great video love the motor mounts. Nice to see all the little roadblocks and your solutions you come up with along the way. Keep moving forward, truly.
You are back!!! I am working on casting parts for that boat tailed racer. I will video it . I bought a milling machine also..Another Banger!!!! awesome video my friend!!
@@GarageFab Thank you. With your inspiration I just ordered a tripod for my iPhone that is also a bluetooth enabled (turn on /off switch) As soon as I receive it I will start videoing and let you know. Thanks my good friend.
Nicely Done KM!! Your ability to dig yourself out of any corner you might find yourself facing.. and come out of it smelling like a rose is Just Amazing!! It's a genuine joy to watch your mind at work mister! You really do leave your fans with something to look forward to!!
Nice. Thank you for that my friend. We’ve all got that capability. All it takes is the ability to take moment and breath. Things can be frustrating at the moment but there’s no reason to let it affect your mood.
Let me start with I dig your approach to problems you created as someone who has done that themselves many times. The fact that the mounts are not replaceable is a problem imo. Still easy to watch videos good job.
Thank you, Phillip! These mounts are very replaceable, which is actually the main reason I switched away from factory mounts. I found that I can no longer get Mitsubishi made mounts. From my experience as a mechanic, aftermarket rubber is garbage. 😩 The shells of these mounts are permanent, but the polyurethane bushing inserts (not shown in this video) are readily available and likely always will be! 🙌
Very good video, and several great tips to pick up on. Really like the idea of the pointed studs to help with the template. As always thanks for sharing
The newer 6g63 engine has an oil filter housing facing down. With that you have more room . And if you take an advice. 80 precent of the 4g63 comunity does a Balance shaft delete. Because its much safer,and you dont notice it. So i would do it. 🙂
Take the nominal size (M10 = 10mm) subtract the thread pitch (-1.25mm). 10-1.25 = 8.75mm, this is the drill bit size for the hole. A little larger is OK, smaller is not. Easy trick to find the right drill for a metric bolt :)
A set of metric drill bits are cheap enough to keep with your metric taps. And will save enough time, hassle and errors converting to inches every time you need to tap a hole. I do this with my Imperial taps because the maths is trickier
Once again well explained and thank you for spending the money on a lens for welding so we can see what your doing with the weld. I agree with taking a step back and looking at a problem from another point and it normally helps for new ideas
This Video was great brother! Let Nothing stop you from achieving what your goals are!! I want to do a motor swap in my Hardbody but I’m worried about the cost and the fact that I would have to probably have 2 computers for running the engine and keeping the stock gauges in my hardbody. Keep moving Forward brother!! 👍🏼💯🔥
Interesting! I honestly don’t know what would be required to do that. I’ve heard of some people sending their gauges out to be modified to operate with the new drive train. 🤔 Thank you, Dina!
Narrowing a frame creates a whole world of problems when trying to use factory parts. The bright side is now you are the engineer who gets to determine where the accessories go. If it were my project, I would build all new brackets placing things were they fit best and give maximum maintenance access. Since you are building a small truck, look at using smaller parts like the compressor, power steering and alternator from other makes and models, since you are making the brackets, they will fit where you want them and because the brand is different doesn't mean they won't work. A walk through a "You Pull it" place can give you lots of workable ideas. Can you relocate the turbo, it would sure make for cleaner plumbing. Look forward to more great videos.
So true! I was talking to my brother about using a Prius A/C compressor and not attaching it to the motor at all. Luckily I don’t need a power steering pump. Alternator is all that’s left! Much appreciated my friend! I just might do that junkyard stroll!
I used to be a Mitsubishi mechanic late 90's, and I have to say you are one brave sob. That is an interference engine and moving that engine around without a timing belt is just asking for a cam to fall off a lobe and rotate. Then you have valves contacting pistons. I've seen it happen a 1000 times with people just changing the belt. Ruined heads for everyone.
Brave? Maybe. Or possibly just clueless and I’ll be re-rebuilding this engine soon. 😳 I predict it’ll be ok though. I made sure none of the pistons were at TDC and the cams are relaxed.
yet another great video.. suggestion.. if u plan to make a custom exhaust manifold... upgrade that pos turbo to a MHI big 16g at minimum..(they are great turbos just dont get the ebay junk).. cant wait for next video
@@GarageFab my pleasure. Been following you for a few years. I enjoy this channel and learning from you. My samurai is almost done and i will be driving it out of the garage. I know the feeling bud. 😊🤙🏻
Hey Garage fab really enjoy the videos and how too, will be attempting the watts linkage for my build very impressed with what you built, I have made engine mounts for my build but sometimes struggle with accepting that they are good, I am no welder or fabricator, cheers Frazer
Just keep doing it Frazer! No matter how good (or bad) you are right now, future you will laugh. If needed you can always redo it. Lucky motor mounts are less of a safety concern. Thank you my friend!
New Exhaust manifold. Miniram style will work. Move the AC compressor. Stock brackets are cast Iron and weigh a ton. Electric AC is also an option. Possibly remove the oil filter housing. You can drill and tap the oil ports for fittings to run a hose with remote oil filter. Zip off the bottom of the oil pan and weld on a new sump using the existing flange
For the oil pressure sensor, what is wrong with installing a 90 degree elbow? I would modify the plumbing before cutting more on the frame. Thanks for posting this. You gave me an idea to make my own rear motor mounts for a small block Chevy for use in my '56 Chevy. I have never had an original type break but I have seen broken ones. Being a 2 piece metal bracket held together with rubber bonding it into one piece, I feel a captured mount such as the style you made will be more reliable with over twice the horsepower.
Great job brother! So true about life and moving forward successfully or unsuccessfully has everything to do with attitude 😊. We can make today a great day it's always up to us! You ace'd it 👏👏👏
So very true my man. You can also screw up your whole day with a crappy attitude. It’s very freeing when we realize just how much control we have over our reality. Thank you my friend!
This is the same situation I'm in right now. I'm dropping a 351 Windsor and C6 trans in my 64 F100. I installed a fatman fab ifs mustang 2 front suspension...so it's all new brackets and frame mounts.
@@GarageFab yeah I got it in there finally. Transmission mounts are done and now I'm having to build a new crossmember because the original is in the way of the driveshaft. I'm using a driveshaft hoop for drag racing to build it. Slow and steady but I'm still moving forward.
Great video! So glad that hole worked out! You raised the engine after you showed us the issues with the exhaust and turbo, did raising it help with that?
I don’t recall what order I did things, but I can tell you that the mounts are done and I steal need to do something about the exhaust. That’s alright though. It gives me another video to make. 🙌
22:35 by the looks of the shavings I'd say the crank casing is made of cast iron, not cast steel. Since this is quite brittle, I'd take a closer look at the other motor mount threads, if there is a threaded insert glued in for additional strength. If that's the case, I'd replicate that. The manufacturer of the engine knows what they're doing. You don't want your threads come out with the bolt when you floor the pedal. That would make for a medium catastrophe.
Good Sunday mornin' to you Sir from the upper Apple latch chin foothills of the Ohio River Valley !!! ... hope you and the misses have a splendid day together and just wanted to say of all the video tutorials that I watch - you Sir nail it !!! ... your sense of humor your evil twin the recording and all ... can't image how to even go about said production like these . Please carry on for you have been a great inspiration to this ol' gear head and I love you man however not in a Butt Lite Dy Mul kinda way Fred (friend)
I’d be willing to do that! Assuming of course that I can locate a 12v compressor. Not really interested in doing all that’s necessary to get a hybrid or other EV compressor to work. 😩
What type of bits are you using to drill those holes? Seems like everything i have to drill holes dulls out on steel pretty quick, is there a better way lol? Namely for the stuff on your drill press?
They’re called Hougen RotaCut Hole Cutters. They’re kinda pricey but worth every penny. Here’s a pair of associate links to the two specific sets I own… Small amzn.to/3guFEwJ Large amzn.to/3ukxxL5
I have done some engine swaps in my younger days ,they are always a total pain in the you know what ,but you can do it just keep your cool and try to look ahead at whats next it can save you a lot of hassle.
One of the best things about working with metal, is if it doesn’t fit, you can make it fit. Beautiful work bro!
So true! I remember when I used to fear metal. I’d make everything out of wood. Metal glue drys so much faster!

Definitely like the pointy stud idea. I've always had trouble getting those types of measurements lined up.
Same! I’ve tried several methods. This was the first that worked. 🤷♂️
Your awesome bud. Great job. It’s so fun solving issues that your passionate about.
Right?! Sure beats solving issues on things you don’t want to do.
Nice motivational skills and great job on those mounts.
Nice! That’s the goal! Much appreciated.
Top job once again dude. Keep moving forward indeed!
Thank you, Sean!
This Video was great brother! Let Nothing stop you from achieving what your goals are!! I want to do a motor swap in my Hardbody but I’m worried about the cost and the fact that I would have to probably have 2 computers for running the engine and keeping the stock gauges in my hardbody. Keep moving Forward brother!! 👍🏼💯🔥
Interesting! I honestly don’t know what would be required to do that. I’ve heard of some people sending their gauges out to be modified to operate with the new drive train. 🤔 Thank you, Dina!
Excellent job! I love the little hinged dealio, I'm stealing that idea.
Steal away Clint! Glad you made it home safely.
@@GarageFab Thanks amigo.
Excellent video once again! Lots of lessons to be learned this episode. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
My pleasure, Robert! Thank you for your time my friend. 🙏
Exquisitely done and you're a wise man. 😉👍
Thank you my friend. 🙏
You do a fantastic job here. I couldn't do what you achieve. Great respect!
Oh yes you could!
Narrowing a frame creates a whole world of problems when trying to use factory parts. The bright side is now you are the engineer who gets to determine where the accessories go. If it were my project, I would build all new brackets placing things were they fit best and give maximum maintenance access. Since you are building a small truck, look at using smaller parts like the compressor, power steering and alternator from other makes and models, since you are making the brackets, they will fit where you want them and because the brand is different doesn't mean they won't work. A walk through a "You Pull it" place can give you lots of workable ideas. Can you relocate the turbo, it would sure make for cleaner plumbing. Look forward to more great videos.
So true! I was talking to my brother about using a Prius A/C compressor and not attaching it to the motor at all. Luckily I don’t need a power steering pump. Alternator is all that’s left! Much appreciated my friend! I just might do that junkyard stroll!
Can't wait for the next part have watched every episode makes me get up a work on my project truck
Nice! That’s what I like to hear. What’s your project? What do you want to see next? More suspension stuff? Engine stuff? Other?
I used to be a Mitsubishi mechanic late 90's, and I have to say you are one brave sob. That is an interference engine and moving that engine around without a timing belt is just asking for a cam to fall off a lobe and rotate. Then you have valves contacting pistons. I've seen it happen a 1000 times with people just changing the belt. Ruined heads for everyone.
Brave? Maybe. Or possibly just clueless and I’ll be re-rebuilding this engine soon. 😳
I predict it’ll be ok though. I made sure none of the pistons were at TDC and the cams are relaxed.
Beautiful job again! Love those mounts!
Thank you, Brother!
I love your approach and mindset! Great video
Thank you, Sean!
The adds are exceptionally plentiful. 7 minutes in, and I’m calling it.
punch template. the best application of mdf i have ever seen
MDF: definitely my favorite tool.
Nice trick with the pointy bolts,genius!. I'll steal that idea thanks..
Please do! Lemme know how it goes. 👊
yet another great video.. suggestion.. if u plan to make a custom exhaust manifold... upgrade that pos turbo to a MHI big 16g at minimum..(they are great turbos just dont get the ebay junk).. cant wait for next video
I just might! I’m not looking for any fancy upgrades. Just the bare minimum and the least expensive options at the moment. Thank you!
Another great episode! Love the content.
Thank you, Gregory!
Thanks!
Dan, Sir, you are so very much appreciated. Thank you my friend. 🙏
The point stud method. Thank you for sharing this. Great job as always
As always beautiful work my friend. Looking forward to seeing more progress. 😊🤙🏻
Me too!!! Imma cry the day it drives out of the garage. Thank you, Brother. 🙏
@@GarageFab my pleasure. Been following you for a few years. I enjoy this channel and learning from you. My samurai is almost done and i will be driving it out of the garage. I know the feeling bud. 😊🤙🏻
Ooo! I’d love to see it. I got a thing for little vehicles. That’ll become obvious soon.
Hey Garage fab really enjoy the videos and how too, will be attempting the watts linkage for my build very impressed with what you built, I have made engine mounts for my build but sometimes struggle with accepting that they are good, I am no welder or fabricator, cheers Frazer
Just keep doing it Frazer! No matter how good (or bad) you are right now, future you will laugh. If needed you can always redo it. Lucky motor mounts are less of a safety concern. Thank you my friend!
@@GarageFab 👍👍
Fan from Iraq that is really cool man❤
It turn out great,it looks clean, very nice 👍
New Exhaust manifold. Miniram style will work.
Move the AC compressor. Stock brackets are cast Iron and weigh a ton. Electric AC is also an option.
Possibly remove the oil filter housing. You can drill and tap the oil ports for fittings to run a hose with remote oil filter.
Zip off the bottom of the oil pan and weld on a new sump using the existing flange
I’ll likely take your advice on most of that, Brandon! Thank you. 🙏
nice. videos are always lessons learn and very helpful to us small frys
Thank you my friend! 🙏
For the oil pressure sensor, what is wrong with installing a 90 degree elbow? I would modify the plumbing before cutting more on the frame. Thanks for posting this. You gave me an idea to make my own rear motor mounts for a small block Chevy for use in my '56 Chevy. I have never had an original type break but I have seen broken ones. Being a 2 piece metal bracket held together with rubber bonding it into one piece, I feel a captured mount such as the style you made will be more reliable with over twice the horsepower.
The 90° elbow is brilliant. Sometimes the simplest solutions escape me. 🤷♂️
Dude you are a master craftsman, AND all out of a 2 car garage. 💪 😎
Thank you for that, my friend! The ultimate goal is to show everyone they’re not limited by their workspace.
@GarageFab I try and do the same thing. You don't need a huge fancy facility! Cool things can be nade with basic tools
Great job brother! So true about life and moving forward successfully or unsuccessfully has everything to do with attitude 😊. We can make today a great day it's always up to us! You ace'd it 👏👏👏
So very true my man. You can also screw up your whole day with a crappy attitude. It’s very freeing when we realize just how much control we have over our reality. Thank you my friend!
This is the same situation I'm in right now. I'm dropping a 351 Windsor and C6 trans in my 64 F100. I installed a fatman fab ifs mustang 2 front suspension...so it's all new brackets and frame mounts.
You getting it figured out?
@@GarageFab yeah I got it in there finally. Transmission mounts are done and now I'm having to build a new crossmember because the original is in the way of the driveshaft. I'm using a driveshaft hoop for drag racing to build it. Slow and steady but I'm still moving forward.
Great video! So glad that hole worked out! You raised the engine after you showed us the issues with the exhaust and turbo, did raising it help with that?
I don’t recall what order I did things, but I can tell you that the mounts are done and I steal need to do something about the exhaust. That’s alright though. It gives me another video to make. 🙌
On the mockups you can use a stainless flat washer because its thinner. The regular flat washers are usually too thick.
You mean for tab spacing? I like it!
@GarageFab yep. Sometimes a regular flat washer is too thick. Stainless are thinner.
Nice!!! I always pick something up from your vids!!!
Yes! I feel like I’m running out of tricks though!
22:35 by the looks of the shavings I'd say the crank casing is made of cast iron, not cast steel. Since this is quite brittle, I'd take a closer look at the other motor mount threads, if there is a threaded insert glued in for additional strength. If that's the case, I'd replicate that. The manufacturer of the engine knows what they're doing. You don't want your threads come out with the bolt when you floor the pedal. That would make for a medium catastrophe.
Good looking out! The shavings were indeed quite powdery. I don’t think there is inserts but I’ll look much closer tomorrow.
Good Sunday mornin' to you Sir from the upper Apple latch chin foothills of the Ohio River Valley !!! ... hope you and the misses have a splendid day together and just wanted to say of all the video tutorials that I watch - you Sir nail it !!! ... your sense of humor your evil twin the recording and all ... can't image how to even go about said production like these . Please carry on for you have been a great inspiration to this ol' gear head and I love you man however not in a Butt Lite Dy Mul kinda way Fred (friend)
ps ... I need to personally email you if I could not 'sackly sure of your email though
Love you back… weirdo. You are appreciated.

One thing I have heard people doing since the E.V. revolution is electric car A.C. You can mount them wherever you have space... under the bed? etc
I’d be willing to do that! Assuming of course that I can locate a 12v compressor. Not really interested in doing all that’s necessary to get a hybrid or other EV compressor to work. 😩
The comment does not carry any semantic load, it serves to support the channel and gratitude to the Author.
Thank you my friend.
What type of bits are you using to drill those holes? Seems like everything i have to drill holes dulls out on steel pretty quick, is there a better way lol? Namely for the stuff on your drill press?
They’re called Hougen RotaCut Hole Cutters. They’re kinda pricey but worth every penny. Here’s a pair of associate links to the two specific sets I own…

I have done some engine swaps in my younger days ,they are always a total pain in the you know what ,but you can do it just keep your cool and try to look ahead at whats next it can save you a lot of hassle.
Thank you my friend. Will do! 👊
Nicely done 👍👍👍
Thank you, Danny!
Top quality as always 👌 👏 👍
Thank you my friend.
Awesome work.... Waiting for your next videos... and jokes! Keep posting...
Jokes!? No joking allowed. This stuff is serious!
Thanks Mate, great vid. I am hanging out to see how this ute is going to turn out. Cheers, Geoff.
Thank you, Geoff! Look forward to hearing from you!
