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
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
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.
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!!!
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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 😀
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
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’
Yes been waiting for upload 👌 love your videos bro, went from grinding adamlz videos then came across to your channel and I just legit can't wait till you upload 👌 jimmyO needs to hit 1mil already
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👌
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.
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
Before i even watch this video, i wanna say how i just said "YES" all loud when i seen there was a video of yours to watch popped up ❤ keep this vib alive guy's an girlfriend lol. Truly love watching these videos.!!!
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
ohhh man i am loving this process. next year or so i really wanna do an LS swap! hopefully the ol e36 will finally be a reliable weapon and you both level up! cant wait to see it on track before we know it.
I absolutely love this dude! The content lately has been top Tier man. I am so so grateful for y’all love you dudes keep it up!! It’s all awesome don’t listen to the haters man!!!
Spoon being comfortable on camera is just a different character 😂
He got used to it quick.
He loves it now. Especially all the support we show him, he's enjoying all the love
He was def the secret character unlock that we all needed
@@bradfordeldridge9329it probably helps that he’s a likable guy so the more he was on camera the more commenters would gas him up.
Just wants the $
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!
sooooo true
Austin’s laugh behind the camera is hilarious
the spongebob clip was just gold

They should definitely do this
for sure, I'd buy spoon merch

Late night videos the best 💫

Spoon has been a great addition to the team I love how comfortable he is now infront of the camera
Congrats Jimmy and the crew on 500k subs!!
Man this is my favorite automotive YT channel (sorry Adam). The vibes with the Oakes crew just hit different. LFGOOOO!!!!
I just finished putting an LS in a datsun over on my channel. such an exciting milestone!
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
Steve came out looking like everyone's dad when you invite friends over
Gotta love the whole crew man!
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
Do the rear mount radiator that way you do it once. Hard lines to the back... boom done

MGW at 12 o’clock is the move. That’s what I did too 😎
Spoon and I rocking the THREE-PEAT SHIRT!!! Hope to photograph and film your cars one day Jimmy!

Love seeing these daily uploads getting things done. Keep up this energy up boys, 2023 is your year 🤘🏼
Super nice gear going into the E36. Should toss some anti seize on them dowels next time 👍🏼
I can wait to see spoons drift build. Specially his engine set up . Its gonna be so fire seeing them drift together

Love seeing some of my favorite creators doing stuff out of their norm! Yall are just a well rounded crew!

happy for you Jim. Keep killing it
Thank u for the picture yesterday jimmy love u guys keep up the good work 🙏🏼

That submail present to spoon really gave him confidence on camera
Can't wait for first start,test drive, drift, all the first's. Going to be so awesome.
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 😀

Looking good!

I'm excited for this build and respect to branching out on the engine choice
Happy for you Jimmy. This car is gonna be so sick.
Those long tubes are a clue as to what kind of boost your leaning toward… supercharged James!?! How awesome
Spoon is the man!
Love every video and the push so happy for you happy late birthday have fun and never stop
Austin laughing at jimmy is the best thing ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 or maybe I just dabbed to much hash👽😆😆

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👌
Another upload already! Loving your videos Jim!
I wish I was there with you guys, my favourite channel
GRANT WAVING AT YOU AND SAYING WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE 🤣🤣🤣
Congrats on 500k Jimmy!
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.
You aren’t scared of us liking the build, your scared you’ll like the build! Easy is as easy does.
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.
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
Before i even watch this video, i wanna say how i just said "YES" all loud when i seen there was a video of yours to watch popped up ❤ keep this vib alive guy's an girlfriend lol. Truly love watching these videos.!!!
Looks good
"just a small dab!" i say that right before work too haha
Patreon ganggggg 💪🏻 late night video 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Absolutely sick love the LS3 swap I agree the rear mounted radiator would be bad ass
saving my night wit the upload lets go
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!
Congrats on 500k brother 👏
Year of the LS!!! Let’s goooo
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
There's tons of room in length... straight 6 engines are a mile long. Bmws have huge engine bays.
Jimmy should let Akira Nakai do his magic on the Porsche that’s the collab we NEED!!!!!!
LS Fits surprisingly far back in the bay love that
it is one of the reason that engine swap is popular for a drifting build 😉
Jimmy's always killing it
exciting stuff LS36
If I ever get to own both a LS and JZ manual swapped car I'd be happy for the rest of my days. You have plural of both.. Count yourself lucky my man.
ohhh man i am loving this process. next year or so i really wanna do an LS swap! hopefully the ol e36 will finally be a reliable weapon and you both level up! cant wait to see it on track before we know it.
Dang Jim you’re making massive moves! This 36 is going to be a monster!
Best channel. Best friend group. Best cars. W jimmy fr
I absolutely love this dude!
The content lately has been top Tier man.
I am so so grateful for y’all love you dudes keep it up!!
It’s all awesome don’t listen to the haters man!!!
Let's goo boys! Been waiting for this!
Can’t wait to see Jimmy drift with the LS! Mo Power!
"It's always the dumb stuff."
*Me without wrist pin lock rings feeling attacked*
Cant wait to see the e36 ripping with the ls
This crew is the new thing ✅
Jimmy, gang, love you guys ❤
My daughter watches this show with me! Good content
Lol Spoon living through Jimmy. He will do the work and doesn't have to spend anything. I think he lives the work more
you changed and your content changed after spoon entered your life
Love it man, shits gonna rip!
Jimmy Anderson 😂😂😂 it’ll be a ripper and I know you won’t regret it
Love it seriously awesome
Austin’s pull out game ain’t weak😂
Team OAKS going for the win 🏆 lessgooo!!
It’s hard to comprehend watching jimmy’s channel using snap on and proper tools 😅😅.. 500k changed a man 😂😂😂
I was hoping you were going root style blower… now that I see you got some headers that means no turbo 👀👀
I have only 2 bellhousing bolts in my trans as well, works mint. 😂
Steve's beer belly is getting ridiculous lmao for real broskie I'm worries about you 😂😂😂
Jimmy always making me laugh 😂
