This episode started as two but I wasn't happy with the pace so a bunch got cut out and re-edited, which is why it took an extra week to come out. This should more or less be the template for the next few episodes, there is a lot of back and fourth and test fitting that is difficult to get through without being repetitive, but the process is important too. I think there are four episodes until the engine gets to go into the car, but there is still a ton after that before we get to hear it run. I feel a little in over my head with this video series, but we'll get through it. Thanks for sticking around, it really means a lot!
It can definitely be overwhelming at first, but it looks like you've got it covered. That being said, if there's anything I see that can help, I'll definitely make suggestions and offer recommendations based on my knowledge and experience.
Fuzzy dice projects I really enjoy your detailed approach to documenting the builds that you are doing. Your videos are far more interesting than the television format of introducing a new build and 5 minutes later it's done and doing burnouts and other antics. Keep up the good work and don't change a thing.
See the meticulous work you put into anything and everything you do on this channel has made me want to watch you even more, came from the original blazer videos and haven't missed a single video since then.
Me too! I was cruising YT back when I was getting ready to rebuild my first engine. Even though others might've gone deeper into the build, especially when I started to get discouraged because of all the specialty tools and huge workshops, FDP made it feel like it was possible, even in my garage. I did end up buying a few tools for it, but not many, and now my big SUV runs like a champ.
@@geopou4618 Thought about it when I had my engine out, but a 5r55s is a seriously problem prone transmission, and I wanted a warranty on the work. Major tranny work still scares me.
@Jacob Osgood I'm a novice when it comes to transmissions, but for me if I ever had to rebuild myself the thing that scares me most is the quality of the rebuild kits. There are some "high quality" kits that are total junk.
There are very few channels I watch every minute of a video, yours is one of them. I been doing garage mechanic stuff for 30 years and I still learn new things in your videos. BTW, you need a lathe. Instead of a hole saw, Dremel bits and drill bits you could have put that spacer in a chuck and just honed out the inside :)
Can´t say how much i love your videos man! Your creativity with everything is just amazing and the style of the videos and narration aswell. And the bloopers at the end just makes its all perfect ! :D Keep up the good work!
You may want to keep a careful eye on your water pump bolt torque in the future. The way the factory power steering pump mounting works doesn't apply load directly to the water pump mounting bolts. You've created a slip plane between those bolt heads and the bracket that the power steering pump is going to be constantly cycling against and _might_ become a bolt-loosening machine. It _might_ also work just fine. 🤷♂😆
I spy some Husky sockets. Personal favourite of mine. Plenty of good choices out there, but love the feel of them, and price/quality is great. Plus, a true, no questions asked, warranty.
These video series are great. Reminds me of waking up with my dad watching the shows on speed channel. Think it was called trucks and idk the other but they would do build series... good times
If you run the aluminum cutting disc in a bar of soap (choose your smelling preference), the aluminum will stick even less to the disc. Or if you are using a non aluminum disc.
Your doing great man. Your a huge inspiration. Your videos where a huge inspiration for be becoming a macanic. I'm starting to get into the sector and I enjoy it greatly, thank you for your amazing videos.
You mention that blazer v8 swap. That’s when I started watching and begun a career in a shop. Quite some time now. Keep it up. Almost feels like we’re growing up together.
Simply perfect, love the fab work nothing fancy but really inspiring, I feel like with a few simple tools, some hard work and patience most mechanically minded people could achieve similar results which is not something I could say watching most mechanics!
I am waiting for each next episode as impatiently as for the money on my bank account at the end of every month- except in case of FDP it's at least worth waiting LOL Thank you for your excellent work!
3:52 Instead of bar clamps, A better way is machinist toe clamps because you have slots for them on the drill press. A whole set is fairly cheap. A simple slotted vise can also be fairly cheap. CAD = cardboard adjustment device
Grade 8 bolts and hardware always! Lol, great video, almost to the first start up! You should do a livestream of it being started up and running. (Just thinking out loud a bit I’m sure it’s been started up by now already but just for the sake of the live stream 😊)

You're doing a great job! Keep it up!
Love your videos even know I've built engines there still are very easy to stay interested keep up the great work
wow, dustless. looking smooth

When you're in over your head is when magic begins to happen.
It's rare to find someone film in such detail while working on one of these older cars, nice work!
Your proficiency with making brackets will never fail to amaze me. Awesome work!

Agree 100%!
@16:30 "All my CAD skills..." Love it, LOL.
Man, I really like your creativity with home machining methods. Can't wait to see what you can do with a mini lathe.
I love waking up to your new videos
this was a very methodical assembly, i always end up watching the episode in its entirety as its very riveting.....

@@jacobosgood3513 with his transmission rebuild videos it made me feel like I could rebuild my 4l60 if I ever needed to

Fuzzy dice projects is my favorite automotive youtube channel
Love your "CAD" skills at 16:30 😁
I cant wait to hear this beauty fire to life. Even a 454 with crappy compression and a blower can push out 500 horse. This things gonna scream.
It's always a good feeling when you start bolting up the accessories.
I know cosmetics is not a staple of this channel but the color of the block and heads is top notch!
The ding in the pulley is just payback for the cut on your thumb.
i swear every time one of these comes out my heart skips a beat when it pops up on my feed
god i just cant get enough of these

We're finding your videos very entertaining and informative at my house. Thanks for what you provide.
You have some of the best videos on UA-cam, love this
I love your channel so much. I discovered it in mid November. The depth and detail you go through is amazing. I love this build series so much.
I love all the attention to detail, commentary and all the work that goes into these videos.. I only wish they didn't take so long to come out.
I genuinely appreciate all your hard work on your content
Yeah! New episode!
I just want to say that i enjoy your videos very much!
Awesome job get that beast run the bird

always love watching these. thank you so much, man!
Video looks super awesome in 1440p. Cant wait to see the finished build its gonna be scikkkkk.
Recently discovered your channel! Fuzzy dice did it. I still hang dice from my review mirror. Great episode. I'll be following.
Dude! Love your stuff, keep it up!
I spy some Husky sockets.
Personal favourite of mine. Plenty of good choices out there, but love the feel of them, and price/quality is great.

Love the content, man! Looking for the next one !
Your creative solutions are awesome, I'm excited to see the finished product!
great series.
Great job.
Excited to see where this build leads, its literarlly a new engine
These video series are great. Reminds me of waking up with my dad watching the shows on speed channel. Think it was called trucks and idk the other but they would do build series... good times
Outstanding work man.
Consider getting a metal lathe. Many of the challenges you have would be pretty trivial to overcome if you had one
wow 21 minutes just flies by, awesome job and thanks for the content
Always excited to see a new episode from Fuzzy Dice
Good one, FD! Thanks for doing these, reminds me of days gone by! 😊
Can't wait to see it in the car finally! Good work 👍
Can’t wait to hear it run!!

this is a great build series
i love all your videos, thank you for all this entertainment!
I always look forward to your new videos 🎉🎉

Good work! A "brush holding paperclip"? Who knew! :O) 60 points awarded. Thank you for the video.. You RoCk
Love watching because of your editing and filming techniques and the meticulous engine work!
You mention that blazer v8 swap.
That’s when I started watching and begun a career in a shop.
Quite some time now. Keep it up. Almost feels like we’re growing up together.

I love the old school 454 builds!!!
I really enjoy the attention to detail on your videos. Good stuff.
I really do enjoy watching this project. Thanks so much for documenting it!
commenting for support!!!
That's a great job, Mr.! Congrats and thank's for share knowledge! 🙏🙏👏👏👏👏
@1:50 did You remember to torque the top left bolt as well? :)
Perfect - and another step closer! :D
Really like your DIY attitude and problem solving skills, along with some pretty high quality fab considering your tools available
Coming out great! Can't wait to see the beast finally come to life! Awesome job!!
Great series!
I am waiting for each next episode as impatiently as for the money on my bank account at the end of every month- except in case of FDP it's at least worth waiting LOL
Thank you for your excellent work!
Been loving this series!
Really like your channel.
Very nice Job. I like your Videos so much.
Greetings from good old Germany.
Love your videos mate!!
Caddy 4100 power steering pully( look’s like a bell)
Awesome man👍
Superchargers are super cool.........especially as a kid watching the road chase scenes in "mad max"
really good video as always!
Magnifico como siempre …🙇🏻♂️
Nice work!
Good job
Could use a p/s pully puller to back the pully slightly off the shaft for alignment
3:52 Instead of bar clamps, A better way is machinist toe clamps because you have slots for them on the drill press. A whole set is fairly cheap. A simple slotted vise can also be fairly cheap. CAD = cardboard adjustment device
Another great video. good job!
you missed the top right bolt on the water pump you torqued the bottom right twice but not the top right. Just thought you aught to know
Awesome job as always!! I always love seeing your videos come out cause they are always so good!
i feel like send cut send would have helped with the making of the brackets.
Me gustan como quedaron esas piezas altesanales de motor👍💥
Love this build series, great job!
Another great video, one day I might try the bigger superchargers, I like my little 144’s
Grade 8 bolts and hardware always! Lol, great video, almost to the first start up! You should do a livestream of it being started up and running. (Just thinking out loud a bit I’m sure it’s been started up by now already but just for the sake of the live stream 😊)
Cant wait to see when its done im predicting 500 hp
Clean!
Except for the blood...
That cast gray paint looks awesome and nice for a change. I’ll have to look on the description and see if you say what brand paint it is.
Epic patience...........there is a lot of behind the scenes work to chase all those fasteners.........different sizes,threads,lengths........
I have not been this early in awhile
Looks great but id have painted the block chevy orange and matte black everything else.
Seeing the dates in the video makes me wonder how it runs?
I really enjoy this series, it's a nice thing to watch when i'm hungover on sundays.
Will we ever see the pinto again?
Dude I would love to see what you could do if you had a shop with real tools to work with,, ya done good !!
That's called a 'German torque spec', IE: Guttentight!
Ahh the ultimate ASMR for people who don't get ASMR...
Wonder how long that text animation on the oil cap took. Worth it tho looks great
Haha, yeah way too long to figure out how to do that and get it aligned/sized right
@@FuzzyDiceProjects I can imagine lol!
A circle key can be stronger than a square keyway.
