That Ardun is the stuff of dreams! The old set up was pretty rad...the money in the Ardun could have gotten him a Brookeville body! But the Ardun...just beautiful and looks right at home! Go LGKustoms, keep moving forward! (catching up on videos I missed before I subscribed!)
If Gordy wanted a brookville body, or even an OG body, he could get one. For him, the fact it’s a glass body doesn’t matter.
What a beautiful engine to swap in, can't wait to hear it start.
Isn’t it?! I can’t wait either
Great job so far Lee!! that car is going to haul ass with that setup!! looking forward to seeing the rest of the build up!
That Ardun puts that roadster in another league.
It’s pretty cool!
neat! like the Ardun. you have a great shop Lee!
Thanks!
It just doesnt get any better then that! Arduns are just the coolest looking engine set ups in my opinion...or anything hemi headed. You sir need to invest in some car dollies. I just bought an inexpensive set off of amazon to try and they are amazingly pretty stout and have made my life much easier. I would love to have go-jacks , but they are stupid expensive. Keep up the good work!
I knew there would be a car dolly comment haha. I had some from Princess Auto years ago and they were awful. I realize Princess auto isn’t known for high quality, but it kinda turned me off them.
What brand were the ones you bought?
@@LGKustoms The ones I bought were on Amazon and are Goplus brand....they are just made out of diamond plate steel. They dont look like much , but I rolled the dice for the $160 bucks and bought them. Once assembled , they have had no issues rolling a 71 C10 around the shop....as long as the floor is clean!! They will hang up on very small things. I dig them though...it beats doing the floor jack shuffle!
Another bit of good advice re: the mounting of the braided lines. Nothing like, thinking ahead!
...hi Lee ....you make it look easy, but I know better....that Ardun is unusual and awesome...can't wait to hear you fire it up......
I can’t wait either!
Well, i am not a huge fan of the glassbodies, but holymoly that Ardun is cool!
I hear ya, but it’s easy enough to change the body out for a steel one if the opportunity presented itself.
@@LGKustoms Yeah it is, specially now when there is a room for OEM firewall. It should be a pretty easy update.
That Ardun flathead is beyond badass! However, I think that trans mount looked a bit sketchy. The amount of money the owner spent on the engine, he could have spent another couple of bucks on a new mount lol. Still a gorgeous hot rod!
The transmission mount is more that hefty enough. 3/16 plate welded to 1.75” DOM tubing. It’s had some extensions and holes added over the years, but that’s what gives these cars history and character.
@@LGKustoms it was just the extensions that looked a little janky. The actual mount and crossmember looked good! Just like the rest of the car. Thanks for the reply! 🤘🍻
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Great Video Lee!..I know its a LOT of hard work,but you make it look so easy! :)
Just one piece at a time! I have some good help too, which makes things easier
Now that is a cool upgrade wow awesome 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦
Doing it before iron trap does his 33 cool go canada go nice too see we have a blown ardun in canada as well give er!!!
Haha yea! Pretty exciting stuff
Hit the like before watching. What’s the Pontiac going in now then? I saw you had swapped out the steering , would you say that it’s smother or better. I no you haven’t tried it on the road but just the feel of it. And the last one did the pedals come in one of those speedway boxes. Thanks Tim. Love the swap!!!
Yes Jim swapped out the steering, but like huh mentioned we haven’t tried it yet. Personally I thought the Vega box was pretty smooth myself. The pedals are made by TCI, but bought through speedway.
Thanks for the reply Lee. Appreciate it.
Looks like it was a easy swap 🤔 old school is back 😂
Wasn’t too bad!
how nice to have a forklift....
It’s the best!!
Coo stuff Lee 😎
Hi Shane
If that moving motor back not enough , I would have pulled oil pan and mill front fins off
While it's a major coolness upgrade I can't help but wonder if it's a performance downgrade
Shhhh 🤫. Let’s ignore that haha
Just curious, what would be the cost of blown Ardun Flathead like the one you just installed?
I believe the cylinder heads alone are around $25k. Is probably guess $50k to build something similar
@@LGKustoms I'm a Ford guy but not at that price. LOL
@@chucktaylor9190 I hear ya! Haha
20 years ago this engine was built by Don Ferguson. Invoice $ 49,945 US finished and dynoed Completed in 2003.
$$$$$$$$$
You guys are out dated , that shit with throw out bearing and braided lines been used in stock car racing for years
Outdated? So what would you recommend to be more current? Bluetooth?
@@LGKustoms , Bluetooth what’s that got to due with out dated , you should had known being in the hot rod business ,what’s out there for throw out bearings ,I figured you with know that .
This guy☝️🤣 Wtf dude
@@davemoulding8799 Bluetooth clutch, you know wireless! Haha
I guess I don’t understand what you mean by outdated. I don’t believe I stated the hydraulic throw out bearing as being state of the art.
Nor am I aware of anything other clutch set up than a mechanical set up, like a clutch fork operated by linkage or cable. Or hydraulic, such as this.
If you know something I don’t, please elaborate.
