Any Engine + Any Transmission Part 2!

- Don't limit your choice of transmission to the engine you already have. It's simpler than you think to adapt the transmission you want to the engine you have. This is part two of a two part series. Watch part 1 here: • Adapt ANY Engine to AN...
Why can one man with skill and tooling do SOOOO much more than I see other bigger shops and multiple people on some channels. Always great to buy parts and throw them on but this is what we all like and can learn from.
I’d like to have 1 /10th of his little fingers talent, he’s amazing.
it will depend on the final goal and the limitations you impose to yourself, you do not have many people on YT building a (mostly) period appropriate 20's-30's speedster from scratch
Its not for a lack of skill its just a lack of interest, sure its cool but its not what they want to do and its not profitable for all those shops who build cool stuff to sell
I agree, this channel and Bad Obsession Motorsports are my two favorite car builder channels. Skill and ambition are the only things holding most people back.

G'day from West Australia,

As a 3rd generation Automotive Engineer I AM impressed with your methodical approach to centralizing spinning mass components, creating zero vibration caused by out of round locating positions!!!
"An old school sign of respect bestowed upon you young man"
I tip my hat to you 😉🧢👍👍🙂
Cool set of great videos. I recently became fully disabled after a gradual decline over the last 5 years or so. I was the the first and only fabricator / machinist that my company ever had. I started as an operator and as my abilities became more obvious to them, my job description increased exponentially . I eventually explained that after a significant investment in several pieces of equipment and tooling, It would pay for itself within a year to 2 at the most, and save many thousands per year after that. They were interested enough and told me to find what I would need. I found a good Bridgeport with a D.R.O., a Clausing lathe and an industrial 18" band saw. My suggestions worked out as promised and it changed how things got addressed from then on. There is not much that can't be done with good running machine shop tools and the knowledge /experience of how to use them. These video's felt like I was watching myself during a days work. Man I miss it already. Great work, brother and Thanks for the awesome videos ! :) Subscribed !!!
Compression looks a little low on the Jaguar.
Good air flow tho'
@@richardschofield2201 No oil leaks either.
I love how smooth that Jag engine block is.
Quiet please everyone, genius at work. It is so nice to see a straight six in a car for a change. It will sound really different and cool too.
The whole Jaguar engine was a brilliant idea for this car. It resembles the type of engines that they were running back then. It should sound great running through the gears. I also no what you mean by its nice to see a six for a change.
The old straight-six Chev engines had a lot of low-end torque and could outrun many of the V8 engines of the same period.

Beautiful work!👍 Wish you could post more offen. I can only imagine what the finished product is going to look like. Can't wait. Hurry up....LOL🥺🙂
If you put an indicator on the flywheel and put the indicating leg in the aluminum centering hole you can check your work on the alinement. By rotating the crankshaft you can check both planes.
First class work as we have come to expect and respect. It makes this old man happy to see what you do.
What LOOKS to the uninitiated to be "rough and ready" work is ACTUALLY a skilled guy at work. Mr Macro Machines is actually quite modest with his throwaway line: "All I'm doing here is.......". If you haven't done anything like this it's NOT as simple as he makes it......plus he's quite adept with his bandsaw, his mill and his lathe. The learning curve on a project like this can be quite steep if you don't have the requisite skills....and a knowing eye. Measure THREE times and then cut once. Bravo to you, sir, for showing the world that an "average" guy with lots of equipment CAN do stuff in his own shop instead of buying the bits and/or hiring out the work. I, too, can't wait to see the rest of the project.
When your transferring multiple threaded hole locations like that, best to complete one, bolt it down and do another. It would suck to spoil that plate after all the work you put into it with a misplaced hole. Don't ask how I know...........
Saving 10 seconds by not bolting the part down. Assuring myself things will be OK. Kicking myself for spending an hour or more trying to fill a 0.5mm offset hole and boring it out all over again!
I'm guilty too, done that more than once!!
That is why he drilled the alignment dowl pin holes and installed them first,so every other hole was in the correct spot.I am an old man almost 70 and worked in fabrication shops in the early 70's
@@donaldk.macbaird5248 You're right. Guess I wasn't giving it my full attention.
As always, beautiful work using many machinists principles brought forward into the 21st century! The SuperGlue trick was awesome! I'd still like to hear the story about how you came to be so knowledgeable and skilled - be it your dad or grandfather teaching you- I suspect it would be a great story to inspire fathers and sons today. How is the college thing going? Know in person classes are off the table at most schools- are you able to keep up your school pace from at home offerings?
I am so impressed with this young mans knowledge and its application. When I was his age I would not know where to start.
For pure engineering skills, you and Nick Blackstock from Bad Obsession Motorsport are by far and away the best on youtube, kudos

Glad to see another video from you and that progress is continuing. I had checked regularly over the last while thinking something with UA-cam had changed and I wasn’t getting notifications which seems to happen once in a while.
I’m assuming you’re are now back in “school” in some manner and the video footage you have from over the summer has been banked for the time you’re away.
Awesome work man, love seeing someone take a DIY route rather than just spending the bucks to use bolt on or CNC parts! Major props for your ingenuity!
thanks for a great video! what i never understand is, how you compensate for the added lengths of the adapter plate? I understand in your case you found a bell housing which was shorter than the original chevy, but what if you have to use the original bell housing? thanks
There’s no one right answer for this, especially if your starter is block mounted, which dictates your flywheel backspacing. Automatic trans are much easier to adapt, with torque converter spacers and/or different bolt holes in the flex plate.
so essentially he used the difference between the two bell housings to determine the plate thickness? that's smart. I get your question though.
You know, during this pandemic while I've been working 7 days a week it has been so hard not to get disappointed each day I haven't seen an updated video here. No joke, I'd check daily in hopes of more. hehehe. Well done, man! Keep up the great work!
Great video set!
One question that I don't think you addressed, what considerations get made so the input shaft still reaches the pilot bearing? Since you've added about an inch between the trans and the flywheel, isn't that a concern to look at?
yolo
I had the same question. I also had the question on part 1. He measured from the crankshaft to the bell housing built into the flathead block. Then he measured from the crankshaft to the dog's head or whatever it was called, but he didn't account for the actual bell housing he used.
Welcome back, hope you and your family are keeping well in these times. Looking forward for more updates
Sadly soon all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!!! (BABBVEN LAWS AND TEBBVEN ORDERS)!!!!!
Hi Love thee Vid, but was wondering how you would have got around the Length ? if Clutch shaft was longer or shorter ??, Regards Eddie
This is 1001 ways to not build a rod that you watch because in some way shape or form you are going to have to do something the hard way, and 99% of that one part build will resonate LOUDLY!
This can be a shade tree mechanic or a Ridler contender...
the only difference is fit and finish
Question: If you add and adaptor plate (say 1in thick) between the engine and clutch housing, doesn't that mean that the input shaft is 1in further away and won't reach the pilot bearing? And wouldn't the same go for the clutch release bearing?
Exactly my question too!
@@charleshurt4863 he made the adaptor plates the exact thickness for the transmission to away from the engine the right amount without making any modifications to the input shaft, remember that the bell house on that tranny isnt from that tranny
Yes! The best notification is a Macro Machines one
As always, good tidy job and thought process lad. I have a question : If you haven't already taken it into consideration be mindful of the tolerance of the input shaft from the gearbox pushing against / touching the crankshaft. That would be a no-no and a recipe for disaster. It appears from the camera angle that the crankshaft isn't already installed, I could be wrong.... so I'm just curious as to how you measured / accounted for the length of the input shaft versus the end of the crank?
Good to see you back, keep the great videos coming.
With the thickness of those 2 adapter plates, the trans shaft length appears to be too short to reach the pilot bushing in the crank.... I’ve machined plenty of sfapters for my projects and engine to trans can be tricky, especially if you have 2 adapters. Triple check your measurements.
I like how you get the tap started straight! Get idea. Perfect takes time! Great work
How did you determine the thickness of the adapter between the bell housing the trans
Would suggest the you have engine rotating assembly balance any it is a must that you have the flywheel balanced with all the mods that you have done on it. Actually it probably be best that you have the entire rotating assembly including the flywheel balance as an assembly. You will thank me down the road.
Is there any way to get the drawings for the transmission to bell housing adapter like the slip yolk adapter one that you did?
I binged watched your Boat tail Speedster videos and I am very impressed with your knowledge, skills and abilities. I really like the way you explain how and why you do things and also admit when you make an error. Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos as they come out.
Ive waiting for this episode, thanks man for making a very good videos
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I get why you weren’t worried about the hogs head and the crank being centered perfectly.
How does the input shaft land into the pilot bearing with that thick of a piece of metal plate?
How did you compensate for the length of the pilot shaft?
WOW! been hanging out for number 2. Covid has obviously played a part in your absence. Glad to see you back.
Watching this is hypnotic.
nice and clean, love the use of locating pins, ads precision and ease of assembly
very nice work indeed, question ; it appeared that you moved the transmission back a substantial amount , how did you compensate for that in relation clutch to input shaft ?
Great job 👍 only thing I think I would have put locking steel inserts into Aluminum. Great progress
So glad to see you upload another video! I have been visiting your page to see if you had uploaded but UA-cam neglected to send me the notification. Keep'em coming!
Excellent job, I only learned one thing..... I need you and your machinery in my garage.
Please tell me where you purchased your milling equipment? You have the right tools for any manufacturing, at a young age! Do live by automobile factories that's gone out of business?
Me, I have been rebuilding British cars my whole life and some American,I’m 59. 5 years ago I bought a Logan lathe. My friends thought I was crazy, what you going to do with that! Recently I bought a Bridgeport, Colchester lathe and surface grinder. My friend that used to say that, is dead after too much partying. I wish I would have started machining 20 years ago. I could have milled/fly cut any plate to adapt to anything. My 2.5 car garages is packed. I have 2 cars in it also. I pull them out when I want to machine. I have built hundreds of things, from barrel vices to any tool I can imagine. Many could be patented, don’t have the extra 100k to do that. I’m UA-cam trained. Thanks for the time you guys/girls spend on these vid’s. We-all (new word) appreciate it. I like your car project.
You really did a nice job with this entire project. Greetings from Arizona.
Some good methods here. But you never explained how to modify the input shaft to deal with the added adapter plate thicknesses {Yeah and too many damn commercials!}
Could not agree more, that left me hanging!
I love your videos, have been watching them for years. The Mustank T-5 would be a better choice. Yes the adapterd you'ved made shooul dwork I make then the same way.\
Gramps
After looking at all the comments, I see several people have the same question I have: How to you ensure the gearbox input shaft is the right length to fit the pilot bearing?
It's all measured out beforehand, so the I know it will work
6061 alum. is all fine and good, But you may want to consider using heli coils when bolting it all together. Due to vibrations and torque specs.
I have been working on cars for a long time, when describing it with words that whole process seems extremely complicated, when watching your video you made it look extremely easy.
I can't wait to see the whole thing done!
Really impressive engineering on the fly. Kudos!
In part one you showed us how you determined the thickness of the adapter plate. In part two I don’t think you did unless I missed it (twice).
What if the gearbox input shaft is too short ? If it is too long is a matter of using thicker aluminium for the adapter plates but what if using the thinnest possible aluminium plate is not enough to cater for a possibly short gearbox input shaft ? Otherwise keep up the good work - you have an excellent set of skills.
YUP! What about that?
The power to weight ratio makes me think you're building an extremely fun car to drive. I think your fans are going to really want to see a good demonstration of this beauty. Do you have access to a track of any kind? And off topic but did you visit that Net Result place this past Summer? Rough time for vacations but lots of people were here. Another great video. Any big Companies offering you jobs yet? Stay Well Dude!!!
It will absolutely be fun and interesting--I'd take this over most cars, but it's not going to scare any serious sports cars. That engine/trans isn't feather light, suspension is ancient technology, and I think the most limiting factor will be grip---narrow tires and narrow track. But ultimate performance isn't the goal. Beauty and incredible craftsmanship are.
@Adam Miller I'm fully aware of that. I'm hoping he goes overboard with the finishing touches, specially the interior and engine compartment, wiring etc. His skills go far beyond just metal work. I only mention a 'track' so he has an open road without breaking the Law. I doubt there's a State you could Register this in, CA?
I was going to ask him if he thought his front suspension was up to par for the weight of this drive train, but I've refrained from second guessing him on anything though as he's no fool. I just think we'll all be disappointed if his demo of this, “Work of Art” is just in his yard or up and down his driveway, right? Depending on the gear ratio of the differential, I also think those rear 'narrow tires' will bark and spin without hardly trying. I'd love to see that, specially his reaction to it ha ha...
As a teen I worked in a shop that made Fiberglass Bodies and put them on CJ5s, a peppy 4 cylinder and you had to drive like Granny not to chirp in 1st and 2nd gear. We'll hopefully find out with this, fingers crossed. Cheers!!!
@@MisterAMuck Taking your question of registration, in California at least he should be able to. He would need to go for a check at a CHP station for a VIN number to be issued, a basic safety check, and possibly a smog check if that 2.4 is (hint- it isn't) "new" enough. All the states are roughly the same.
@@billh230 I've heard that about CA but have been told that here in MA it's not possible. We're the most regulated State in every way, not just in Motor Vehicles. I may be wrong but if I'm not mistaken it was a Mechanic that said this to me. Off the top of my head, you couldn't get a Sticker here without fenders. Sadly it wouldn't even be the same car by the time you got it to pass, assuming you got an assigned VID to begin with. I'm supposed to go ask a Mechanic a question for my older Brother, I'm supposed to ask if any of his Grandfather's paperwork was still around because he held the Title to his 57 Chevy Convertible until it was paid for. That was about 60 years ago when my Brother was in H.S. - Sorry, I'll ask if I talk to the guy, he does Stickers as well, so he should know. I'll let you know if I get some answers. Bye For Now...
@@MisterAMuck Yes, please, I'd like to see what you find out.
So now all you need to do is add a little Whitworth hardware in there and you will be all set. Maybe a sprinkling of torx and allen to go with the amalgation. Some engineer some where is rolling in his grave.
Well done.
Keep going.
Just brilliant! I think one of the problema we face attempting to try something like this is that we overthink at an early stage, then worry to much because we cannot see all the solutions at first. This video was really helpful to me. Makes me think I can do this to. Thank you😊👍
Few things will make me feel more incompetent than watching Vince at work. UNREAL TALENT!
cool stuff .. I bet you will be busy with requests to do something like this for their project ...
Muy bueno tu canal! Buscando adaptación de caja encontré tu video y me gustó mucho ésta adaptación. Lo que realmente me gustó en el video anterior fue que dijiste que no importa que sea cualquier transmisión en realidad todo es lo mismo.
Yo hice igual q vos tengo un motor que acá (Argentina) se llama TORINO originalmente viene con una caja de 4 marchas de la marca ZF que son MUY buenas, pero quería una 5ta sobremarcha. Ahora adquirí una GETRAG de 5 marchas de BMW 325 que supuestamente es una caja que aguanta el torque del motor TORINO
MOTOR TORINO: 3770 CC CIGUEÑAL A LA CABEZA Y APROXIMANDAMENTE UNOS 170 HP.
GRACIAS!
One of the most enjoyable channels to watch. Like others I really am looking forward to see the finished speedster! Watching your tank build then this one... WOW!
When I saw your engine and transmission sitting on the jack stands (one in the front and one in the rear) it reminded me of a 1953 chevy I had with a transplanted small block 327 and 4-speed trans. At first the engine was mounted off the front of the block (like the 55-57 chevy) and a transmission tail-shaft mount like the next generation. There was so much stress on the throwout bearing sleeve that it snapped off (a couple of times!) This was solved by moving the engine mounts to the middle of the block like the next generation configuration. Old guys just have to throw in their two cents!
I do things that people tell me not to attempt like completely dismantling a pressure plate because the rebuilder didn't adjust the fingers correctly and now I have hot spots. Old timey shop manuals show you how, so why can't I ? Making Zundapp conrod bushings, pressing BMW Isetta crankshaft, manual machining is the best!
You are one amazing young man, borderline genius.
The collar and glue alignment process was most ingenious; good, unorthodox thinking.
I had been worrying about what the torque from a Jaguar motor might do to a Ford 3-speed transmission, but obviously a modern GM box should be more than hefty enough, especially in a light vehicle like the speedster.
Frankenstein......you should have edger winter playing in the background lightly 😂. I know how to do what you are doing.......I just don't have the 10's of thousands in shop and machine tools 😢.
nice to see basic tooling for fabrication. DIY videos using $10,000 lathes, mills, cncs are useless. keep up the good work
Maestro, number 1 fabricator ...............impressed Sir, thankyou
Love the build. This was an ingenious way to make your adapters. You are knowledgable beyond your years. Keep up ithe good work.
God that jag 6 is gonna make a lovely noise
Sooooooo you have any recommendations for mating a 2010 Mustang V6 T5-5 Transmission(automatic) witha 2018 BMW 3 Series 328d Diesel engine?
How did you decide on the thickness of the bell to trans spacer? I see bellhousing length measurements when looking at aftermarket, but I can't find an explanation from anyone on why they might be different. Obviously the overall distance between the trans and engine would effect how well the input shaft and pilot bearing mesh, but how do you know what that distance needs to be? For example, if the trans has a 6.5" input shaft and its being mated to a sbc, does the bell need to be 6.5"? 6.25"? 6.75"? It would be great if someone could make a video explaining bellhousing selection instead of all the "bell alignment" videos out there.
yo, the Car Wizard is putting A Jag. v12 in a 66' Chevy 4 door Malibu,...All the Lucas fuel injection is gone and he has 2 intake manifolds that will bolt up 2 Holley carbs...Rock On!!
My dad in the early 70s made an adapter plate to marry up a 283 small block Chevy with a three speed overdrive and may I add front of the engine Motor mount crossmember so he didn’t have to modify the subframe which this set up is in a 1951 mercury two-door also he did the wiring over in 12 Volt with Drop a volts and the clock and a.m. radio work👍🏼 and the best part is I’ve owned the car for over 15 years my 1951 mercury/my dad‘s car rest in peace Dad
Excelent video!!! I ve put a Perkins 4 and later on a Mercedes Benz truck 1964 gearbox with a super short first gear, to my Chevrolet C-10 1977 (argentinian made). It s a mule!!!! I live in some lost sierras, and I needed it in that configuration. Of courrse in a much more precarious environment, so to speak. Though the adapter holes I made it with a lathe workshop.
There is 31 dislike here, FARKED if i can see what there is to dislike, your doing a great job young fella, that comes from a old fella that has been doing swapping since i was 14, now 68 still swapping...

Great job, my friend!!! You have a Jaguar block, and Ford tranny front end, a GM tranny back end, let's just throw a Mopar transfer case to complete the combo!!!😁😁
You are super skilled and because you're so young, you'll be a force to be reckon with in the automobile industry with what you know and what you will keep learning throughout your life.🤙
Watched with rapt attention and concentration. Natural Engineering comes from your past life, whether you believe it or not. All of this is coming from your subconscious mind which have already mastered, just that every one views you as a young man but you have travelled from the past and pursuing your passion. I love it. Keep on going Genius, you'll show wonders to us all. Still to check end result. YOU WILL DO IT.
Master level knowledge and skills ... no doubt ... but please tell me you swapped out that pilot bearing after the milling. I cringed when I saw it uncovered with drill filing flying about. Failure to replace $20 worth of parts has been my undoing far too many times over the years! I know you are smarter than me, so probably not a concern! As an old-school make it work mechanic, I really enjoyed watching your thought process and skill ... truly awesome! Keep up the great work! Very best, 42 Jack
Thanks for these videos! Should I ever actually 1uz fe swap my 1965 Ford Mustang I would want to adapt it to a Tremmec T5Z transmission.
You've perforated the flywheel attachment to the crankshaft with so many holes, don't be surprised if you take it on the road and punch the throttle, the flywheel snaps off and breaks. I've seen that happen on and old 356 Porsche engine. It had 8 pins instead of the four it's VW counterpart had. You should weld in and finish all those unneeded holes and then have the crank and flywheel balanced as a unit. And then, if the clutch plate is mismatched to the flywheel in centering even a minute amount it will setup up vibration and shake everything loose. And how will you mate the teeth on the starter to the flywheel ring teeth?. And will you have to custom make a new longer bendix gear, (or similar gear), to make it work? Makes for a good video, but I would like to how it runs after a few hundred miles. If you just let it idle and don't drive it out of your driveway it might last a while. But nonetheless a well made fun video to watch which shows how things can be made. Can I borrow your workshop, I need to make brackets for a dual Alternator on my 84 sbc 350? Good luck....................Just sayin' Mike
Yip! :) This video and the one paired with it...made me subscribe. AWESOME!
Lemme go find the rest of it...
Back when I had my shop I would do thing's like this. I had a Dune Buggy I was working on I wanted to put a Intercooled Turbo Charged Motor in it out of a Dodge Daytona Shelby. I had it set up with inverted gearboxes on the end of the rear axle shaft. The reason for this is that it wouldn't pull the front wheel up but keep the nose down. The only problem was if the torque tube broke in the front end you could bet Catapulted. My solution was easy: I was going to put an aluminum I-Beam up front. And utilize a leaf spring in the rear like Henry Ford used to do. Run it across the back of the vehicle but I couldn't figure out if I should configure it. Arch up or arch down; Any hoe the McCarthey boy's ended up with it & thier mom made them sell it. I didn't let it go with an engine, I hadn't even swapped out the gears yet...
Amazing job ! I need you to make me a adapter plate to fit a Small block chevy to 1970 International harvester 444 Tractor trans. Please let me know how much and if you can or would do that. Thanks in advance
Not only are you a talented machinist, but the production of both these videos are on point. I was able to watch both parts on my lunchbreak unlike other channels where they'll waist an hour of your life chasing squirrels. Thank you very much! You just got another subscriber!
I am an old hot rodder that has done a lot of swaps in my life, and what you have done, represents the ultimate in skill and innovation. Congratulations on a superb instructional video.
Does anybody know what happened to Hannah’s bug channel? All of a sudden the whole build just stopped
Dam did I get that all wrong, was not paying attention last video. Jag Engine.. Ford bellhousing, still did awesome job as always. keep watching..
First I would like to compliment you on the video, very well done. I disagree with your statement that the bellhousing does not need to be in perfect alignment with the crankshaft because you are making a custom adapter. That could be true if you accounted for any misalignment, but what you did really doesn't make the trans concentric to the crank. I say that because you have a flat surface on the housing and a flat surface on the adapter. The size of the holes for your bolts will be larger than the bolts. Bolts also vary due to mfg tolerance. This WILL allow the transmission to move about enough to create an alignment issue when your shaft bushing is removed and you are installing the trans from under a vehicle. Older Chevy V8 engines used a Truck bellhousing that had a larger pilot hole than the cars did. People who used truck housings quickly discovered the problem. The mounting bolt holes were all in the same position on both housings. It was just that the larger holes allowed the trans to be mislocated and bind the input shaft. Your set up should have started with getting the housing centered, or measuring how far off center it was.....and then machining the hole larger but concentric. Then when you made your second adapter, a lip turned on the front of it could have insured the same concentric alignment any time the trans was reinstalled. Again, I compliment you on your video and your skills, but I believe you erred when telling people that it wasn't necessary to have the housing concentric. The only way that would work properly is with the same alignment lip on your adapter.......but located off center to correct for the built in misalignment.
Bravo sir, Bravo. Nice idea with the super glue. Could have also used double faced tape. But if it works it works. Thumbs Up!
Dude that's awesome! Im trying to match a 331 Hemi with the long bell housing block to a chevy 4 speed..do you make these for sale?
Ok but don’t I need spacers to raise the flywheel or lengthen the output shaft if no adapter kit exist like in my junction of a Mercedes om617 turbo diesel to a Jeep pattern turbo hydromatic 400 auto? I am thinking I need to add a spacer to the crank to meet the flywheel metric to imperial also.
That's not a v8. It's a liniar 6 cuz' I see 6 piston shafts at 12 o'clock. Come on!
Wow. There is hope for humanity. Very impressive,subscribed!
Wouldn't you need an extension for the input shaft since you're adding 2 extra inches of plates?
This is kinda bogus, now tell us how you make the car computer work with car maker engine and after market or other maker trans?
The car computer runs various parts of the engine as well as its transmission. You cant just shove a ford engine and a chevy trans together. these waist of time videos, well waist time
Ford made lots of cars and trucks with T5s, but why use one of those to bolt to your ford bellhousing when you can use a Chevy one? 😂😂
The audio quality of you video need help. The echo in your garage needs dampening. Perhaps a lapel mike will do the trick?
Did you ever check the runout with an indicator ?
I'm curious to know how many thousands it is out.
Do you have a reversing switch on your mill? If you do don't be afraid to use the tap to thread holes Also if on your drill press same thing. I do this every day at work using mill or drill press.
Great Job,.... most people don't have mill's and tooling.
