The Engine Hoist BROKE When We Tried To Install The LS2 In My 67 CAMARO
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- I bought a 67 Camaro RS for only $6,500 and I'm taking it to LS Fest East.
Now that the Powerglide transmission and the LS2 from J&J Auto Wrecking is ready to go, we're going to try to install it and get everything else ready to go as well. As always, things don't exactly go according to plan. The LS2 is getting the complete Holley EFI treatment and some BRAND NEW HK Wheels as well.

dont tell me i was the only one clenching when the engine was in the air because of the title... thought it was gonna fall mid air
Yeaa so did I . Ha I was like oh hell here it comes and I seen how tight that strap was and then he added the trans and still had same just one strap ehh made me so nervous lol but then luckily the engine hoist did not pick it up , but serious I would have supported that way better with having the transmission and engine together picking it up with that it could snap and break and that would be it for both of them.
Started playing with taking engines and transmissions in and out of cars in 1971 and I have never nor have I ever seen anybody else use a STRAP on the engine.
One of heaviest engine and trans together was a small block Chevy mated to an old Hydramatic 4-speed trans. We had to use the very last exhaust manifold bolt holes to get it to balance. Transmission weighed as much as the engine.
People use straps on everything and think they are totally indestructible like Superman or something. Where I work I pick up things that weigh couple tons all the time with hoist, the chains I use are not very big but if I used the straps I have they would probably rip from the weight. A good chain is really way stronger than strap unless it is HUGE strap.
Need to do that with a chain fall in a tree where you have to move the car to jockey in place.
Love Josh's shirt..."Still Plays With Blocks" with an engine block below...perfect! #oldschool
Vann Chevrolet is still in business. You should take it there, when you’re done, and get a pic.
JR : TURN KEY!!
Also JR : SOooooo we have to do a little fab work ...
Came here to say that 😂.
Came here to read it I cause I'm a turn key kinda guy.
This should be called “ Building a ‘67 Camaro with no end to the expense “
Glad the hoist didn't fail with the engine up in the air.
I was nervously waiting to see if that happened. Glad it didn't.
Try having one fail and leak down fast with you underneath trying to put in motor mount bolts.
@@michaelszczys8316 Oh, no thanks... 😬😬😬😨😨
Thank Josh for his service.
You mean "Tanks"???
“Tanks a lot” 🤣 that made the video.
Such awesome progress in such a short time! I had anxiety every time y'all were under the hoist with this title haha. Glad it wasn't a catastrophic failure.
Especially with Josh wearing thongs🇦🇺🦘 haha "flip flops"
Ditto that. Cringed every time one of them ducked under the raised block. These fellows are the best channel on the Tube.
Joel 74 hey those are OSHA approved flip flops 🤣
Jack Trudel much agreed!!! 👊
I had visions Josh was wearing flip flops and the hoist failed! Glad everyone still has toes and fingers.
Flip flops or not your toes would still be broken like you wouldn’t believe
Can you please give the engine bay a little love. A clean and touch up with paint will make for a great look when its all back together!
I hope so! :fingers-crossed:
I started watching your show last year. I was in busy with work all the time. Now I have cancer stage 4 from last year and I can't do anything anymore.. My house is falling apart and all my ride need to be fix. I can't afford to hire a mechanic or get someone to help you
But I enjoy your show . Thank you
Here’s to hoping life gets better for you.
Hang in there! You never know.
I had ordered a tank from Tanks for a 48 Chevy Stylemaster and they seem to be a good company and worked with me on the tank. They customer service was very good, helpful and accompanying. I miss my 68 Camaro , 327, color Purple
“Still Plays With Blocks” ... very cool.
"Tanks a lot" dad jokes, love it.
I feel BETRAYED!! After my comment on your last video about unusually good hoist maintenance by yourselves (specifically the wheel-bearings and swivels), you do THIS to me??? Oh, the pain!!!
you could always use the time to sand and paint the engine bay, that one there is looking a little unloved.
i just said the same
Two weeks ago, I rebuilt my engine hoist I bought in 1989. Completely disassembled, cleaned, sanded, primed, painted, wheels painted and greased, new hydraulic cylinder, and some hardware. Should be good for another 30 years.
I'm totally late to watching this. Thank God for thr weekend and kids going back to school!
Anywho, I'm glad you're taking the advice and getting a new body. Last I checked it was 13.5 for a new Camaro body. Looking forward to the Camaro coming along!
That is technically a FLEX-PLATE, not a flywheel on a automatic. Just say'n.
I like how josh always wears flip flops or house shoes to work on cars 🤣
I was wondering how long that old hoist was gonna last lol
It needs help, it’s nicer than all the cheap hoists! 💪
Either redo the seals or get another decent ram for it and you should be good to go. I've had to add fluid to some my old bottle Jack's before and they usually work fine again if they aren't totally shot and leaking.
@@WatchJRGo, good attitude on your part. But your friend was like bum out. 😓 fell bad for him. On the other hand, the man is losing weight good for him.
I know guys who have a hard time working on cars with 2 hands, then you have JR, who does most things with a camera in one hand.
Josh, I always get guac with my powerglide too!!! Nice choice! :D
Pintina looks awesome on the car body!
The hoist I recently bought was modded with an 8 tonne ram. Love it
From the sign to the end of the bridge (1/4 mile) back in 1982. I still have my camaro SS I took my mom for a ride back to the bridge this summer (2020) and did the 1/4 mile. Hang on mom were going for a ride. Well by the end of the day she was driving a standard. She is 94 years old. What a day.
Clean, prime and paint while everything is torn down. No sense in touching things twice
I was thinking Sarah-n-Tuned would have cleaned and repainted the engine bay, already.
Why not prep the rust BEFORE all the new technical installations? Easier and way more room.
I’m pretty sure they are going to rip it all apart after the event and do a resto on the rest of the car.
Time
Josh: (Fixing the Camaro)
USAF: "We're on Defcon 1. All personnel report immediately!"
Josh: "My country can wait."
No. Josh to car: "My country needs you!"
Dad jokes galore in this episode.
Oh man! I thought that lift was going to get to full height and just drop! Glad it just didn’t go up.
Yes! New body! Now, about that Harbor Freight lift.
Same thing happened to me with my engine hoist while I was also doing an LS swap. I went to my nearest harbor freight and got a new hydraulic jack and installed it on my hoist.
Is Josh not like the best friend ever? Buy him a new lift JR! 😁
What the hell? You have unlimited money supply
Saved my day. Glad someone I like had a video. Been kinda ruff2day
Hope tomorrow is better.
I will love to see one day you put a Subaru engine in a old Vw Beetle 😁
Another great video
Those new bodies require hundreds of hrs of bodywork as well to get right, for the condition of your original car I think it’s a bad idea, you’ve got a good candidate for restoration.
"I dunno, it's art"
The hoist just needs a rebuild! XD
I can't wait to see the old girl back in the road once she's finished!
Wouldn't it just be easier to throw a diff in the Rolla? I still haven't seen it do a really real burnout.🇦🇺🦘
He’s got rear end for the rolls, it’s lost in shipping.
@@danielsegreti4475 ohh yeah, I forgot he said that a few days ago, thanks for the reminder.
I hope you're going to do something with the rear leaf spring. The 67's single leaf caused bad tire hop which would damage the leaf spring and the shock mounts. That's why the 68's and older came with multi-leaf springs In the rear and the shock mounts were relocated to help fix that issue.
I really enjoyed your Volvo, Kia, and (Camaro cleaning all the gunk out of the engine). With all the craziness in the world. It’s great to be able to watch some great car restoring content. Do you still have the Optima?
Anyhow, I am excited for the next project you have in the works... Congrats on the new Ford Truck!
My buddy and I had a fun time once using an engine hoist to lift his MR2 parts shell into a trailer. Sketch af but we did it
You say fail but the fact you could not drop it in allowed you guys to slow down and make a better plan.
I see that F250 at the end of the driveway ! Must be the new truck
If I could help Watch JR Goes install the engine in the Camero I would drink the cold Bartle Skeets and roll up the fat Woolford and get all schmoked up.
This has become my favorite UA-cam channel
I kinda like the old body with damaged paintwork. Reminds me of the bluesmobile
I want to see how they install the '69 tank into this car.
Just mount an I-beam to the ceiling and use a chain fall or electric hoist for engine lifting
Used chain fall in big maple tree in front of my house many years. Then I had vehicle I had to go through the door to install engine so I built my own take- apart hydraulic hoist cherry picker. It’s 35 years old now and still works good.
first time i noticed the steelers logo. well done.
Sorry I was distracted by the sign on the wall.... Go Steelers!
EARLY GANG! I've been eagerly anticipating this (and Ricer Miata, 😆)
LOVE Josh's t-shirt "Still Plays With Blocks",😆
The only expensive glass is the vent windows. They suck and leak when you rebuild them as well. Going restomod I would do the single glass and just get the power window unit for the doors. I heard you say something about doing a rebody with it as well. Check with your state department of motor vehicle and see if it is possible for you to do it or not . Some states don’t allow it. You have to use some of the old car for you to be able too put your vin on it. I built a car for a guy in Florida and he had the vin and fender tags for the car as well as the title but Florida we had to use parts from the car to build the car and they wanted pictures. Luckily I had a car we were cutting up for another build and we swapped out some parts for he had cut his dash out and the other parts where the vin was so we had to graft them into the new body. They are not perfect when you get them and they take a lot of work to get them to look good. You do have a brand new 1967 camaro when you get done with it..
Dylon McCool had a 5.7 Hemi fall recently
Yep I saw that. At least he's an honest guy and didn't gloss over the fail like many others would.
Harbor Freight has a good engine lift for 229 bucks. Works great well built.
great video, with real life issues...love the 67, keep up the great work
That tank is the most wonderful 69 Camaro tank of all time. The fill tub is for behind the licence plate for a 69. 67-68 is different.
Shhhh. Let him learn that on his own.
Yer doing work John Ross. Keep it up.
Love the videos, keep them coming.
You're in for a big surprise with a full body. The people that are recommending it have probably never had to work with one. Also, don't you need a spacer for the torque converter because of the LS having a shorter crank? That's what I'm gonna have to do in my Laguna with a TH400 anyways.
Hey Jr i love the vids, if you get the time on ur hands I think everyone would love another cheap car flip video !
Have a good one man
I just gave away a really nice load leveler with adapter plates....
J R,Paul here,when U get ur totally new body are U going 2 use a modern front frame section,with trichknew suspension ????? it will make the care handle so much better,go first class with ur build
I wish you guys would have dove a little deeper into this thing. Would have liked to seen at least a full front disassembly down to the frame with some suspension and brake upgrades
In today's episode of watchJRgo..
Josh paints things......Josh sorts the fuel tank....Josh fits......well you know 😆
I think maybe that hoist is trying to tell you something man Don't worry LS swap the Camaro I did see a lot of comments and said don't do it maybe this is a sign lol.
For those wondering a GM licensed 67 camaro body is 13.5k. I think I would fix whats there, but if you got the $ spend it!
Yeah he's definitely into throwing money at things instead of toting a 50lb toolbox around a junkyard all day.
More money he spends the less is taken from taxes right? Plus he can claim it all during tax season as deductions for his videos. This entire car is one giant tax deduction.
Hey neighbor! When I saw the title of your video my fear was that you dropped the engine on the floor………..Whew! That would be bad!
Make a shirt that says "turn key" on it.
just advice next time from someone who worked a long time in the first gen Camaro industry. its so much easier if you remove the front sheetrmetal and its not a big deal to remove that.
I like how you're spraying that black paint while wearing a white T-shirt in front of a white garage :D
Would appreciate a quick walk around of the Camaro showing why it would be cheaper/easier to just replace entire body with re-pop. What little I've seen of the car on your vids looks pretty good, as in not a ton of body work. Soul of the car is lost doing that.
When you paint the transmission black that will make it hold in more heat and burn up the fluid and clutches. It’s better to paint it silver or aluminum color paint.
If you go with a brand new aftermarket body, you should call this George Washington's Camaro. You know, like George Washington's axe, the head has been replaced twice and the handle 3 times, but its still George Washington's axe.
Fun project. Cars have come a long way, and what was it the Wizard said above modifying a car = nightmare to repair?
Dear JR, please look up the verb ToBe.
Tanks for another great video!
John, please don't sell this car once you complete it. This is a beautiful machine and I can't wait to see what you do with it.
Love the Quicksilver shirt. Ausie stuff mate. Cracking vid as always.
I install and pull engines with a skidsteer with forks. Glad I don't have to do it old school anymore.
Just remember, if you buy a new repo body, in most states it is illegal to transfer your vin to it. Strangely, if you replace 95 % of the original body with repo parts, you're OK.
Josh is hilarious... tanks buddy..
Another auto youtuber LS swap.. very imaginative
Since you are going the rebody route...how about using the old body for a non street application...drag car...4x4...boat...something..just not to waste it...
Put some rust inhibitor on the holes in the corner of the windshield then silicone the sxit out of them and put it in. Easy peasy!
John Ross a automatic transmission has a flex plate and not a flywheel.
I see the Steelers plate yessssss
A Dynacorn body, can’t wait for to make some smoke. Stay safe ✌🏽
Liked Josh's shirt.
Hey JR I'm the one that left the comment on Instagram about the Camaro that you liked also left one on aar Instagram
Guy: My car broke down...Mechanic: Looks like you blew a seal...Guy: No, that's just frost on my moustache...
How many more LS camaro swaps we are going to see? They are more common than stock engines
They are the easiest to swap and are bulletproof and can take huge power.
Lots. Because LS swaps give you double the power, double the fuel economy, and cost far, far less than a ground up old 350 rebuild with performance parts.
Same goes with building an old 5.0 engine. I did 306 with heads, cam, intake, exhaust, and a intercooled Procharger and it made 435hp. Now, I'd swap a new Coyote 5.0 into it. Forget anything else. Better fuel economy and all that power right out of the box. And far better street manners.
There's good reason people do it. Everything else is old tech which is just trash by today's standards. They are scrap metal boat anchors as far as I'm concerned. I'd rather have a 5.3 out of a Tahoe or Silverado in my classic car than run any original engine. It is light years ahead of that stuff made 60 years ago.
@@MrClarkisgod What's the point of adding more power when everything else can not take it? Everything needs to be changed first before more power to be added.
Lmao Robert O. Why u so mad u had to unsubscribe??? This dude is doing what he wants to his own car lol. Chill it’s just a car
@@gregeverett7620 Stock camaros are unicorns since everyone else drops an engine
The next time you do this take off the front bumper so you can se what your doing and where the brackets line up just saying, also love the shirt about the blocks truly priceless
Little trick of the trade. BBQ paint is fairly cheap compared to stuff at the auto parts store. Comes in flat and glossy.
U should of use easy off on engine and power wash it to get that color back
Hey JRGo love watching your vids buddy killin me waitin for the next one lol,can't wait to see this beast finished,can I make a suggestion put a hid kit in for headlights that has the original yellow colour beam would look cool,as your doing this car for LSfest will this engine take a super charger would sound and feel great 😉👍
I see your new Ford in the background :)
Hey Josh "Tanks A Lot" really. Go to your room. Lol.
