- This is the first episode of our latest build,
We bring in Marc's almost factory HT holden station wagon, complete with custom stick on chrome trim and a dirty fox tail on the aerial!
Here at the Castlemaine Rod Shop we thought it was well over due for a birthday.
So in the coming weeks we will do a complete overhaul on the running gear to show you what needs to be done.
A 6ltr LS/4L65e Engine & trans combo has been selected to power the wagon.
Wilwood disc brakes will stop it on the front and on the rears.
A Rod Shop 9 inch diff will also be fitted.
We will attempt to show you everything that needs to be done from the engine swap to fitting an EFI fuel pump and connecting the wiring loom.
This episode we take the Wagon for its last drive with a Very under powered 186 holden 6cyl And we have some old fashioned fun with an engine blow up!! we hold it flat to see how long the old 186 can handle no oil and water!
I have as much respect for your business as you do for the 186. I will never approach you guys for any modifications, rather spend my money elsewhere!
thought id have a lil more respect for you but destorying the 186 really??
don't get why you would destroy an already hard to come by 186 motor , might of been fun in the 80's
Correct Bazz bit brutal for my liking and ya right the old 186 probably getting very hard to get and they sent it straight to Hell !
What a waist of a good 186.
@@travisellis7432 I put one on gumtree and couldnt give it away!
@@phillipplumb1310 if it was local to me I would have bought it
Great car and project, bit of a FKWT for destroying the 6
Lost me with blowing that engine up! Grow up!!!!!! I’m out 👉 see ya.
Destroying an immaculate original kingswood for a few thumbs up and extra subscribes....im out
!st time I have watched this site because I would be looking to your business later for some advice re my 67 Buick But sadly you lost me blowing up that 186 so I think my business goes elsewhere, stupid move guys ????
i absolutely love what you were doing and other people with the same approach /seeing the destruction of a numbered ht / makes my numbered ht worth more in the future // keep up the good work 😉
not gunna subscribe cos you destroyed that 186 .How disrespectful .Someone may have had a use for that motor
one less 186 out there ya muppets!
Who let Ronald McDonald drive and test the brakes? Pulled up fine for an old girl and was no where near hitting the ford.... AND then blowing the engine just for lol’s, maybe try blowing each other..... Wankers!
Well said!!!! miles from that falcon just flogging youre products at the demise of a perfectly original HT
I don't care much for the 186. But that was unnecessary. I'm sure there is a technical collage would have appreciated a donation.
Would of kept it original
I was going to LS my hz prem
But decided to keep the 253 in it! Cause there will be none left if people keep blowing them up!
Thought i was going to enjoy this until i heard him say he was blowing up a 186 not going to watch the rest of it.
Why would you destroy a good 186 engine, makes no sense, someone could have used that for their restoration.
What a waste of a 186 someone could have used that engine. I still don't see why start off with a what looked like a factory matching numbers car.
Wayne's Garage because why not? The whole point is to ditch the outdated shit for stuff that will bring a classic into the present.
@@bernzie001 yeah but the whole idea is to also keep around cars that are untouched to show how far things have come along over the years.
Wayne's Garage i disagree. One day you wont be allowed to use them anymore legally. They need to keep with the times. They need to evolve.
@@bernzie001 yeah but the thing is why we now don't build our own cars there still going to be on the road one way or another and the thing is they still let cars that a 100 years old on the road the way they came out from factory and the same for these car it well happen
bernzie001 the point is yeah that’s fine to swap modern but no need to destroy perfectly good parts someone else would easily want.
What about donating the engine to an up an coming Hot Rodder or Castlemaine TAFE ?
pretty sure that $45k wagon is now worth 10 after that...such a shame..
John Cahill they have NO IDEA
but that poor 186 ya muppets
Was pretty keen to watch and subscribe but then you went and blew up the 186 for shits and giggles just goes to show your mentality.
Wont be following anymore
Come over and check my channel and Facebook page Wayne's Garage out any time
I noticed you replied to postive comments about the LS swap, but no mention of the total waste of the 186. Ashamed or just don't care about ruining a true piece of Australian motoring history?
Joel. We hear you and the others that got upset with what we did to the 186. But look at it in another way mate we are still going to enjoy cruising the big girl around now with a much better driveline.
As for be ashamed or not caring about the history that’s got nothing to do with it. That’s why we fabricated a lot of conversion items to keep classics like this on the road.
A true piece of morning history? Wow. These engines are still a dime a dozen. I don't 100% think blowing up the engine the best thing to do. But are you going to get sad at all the people that blew them up in paddock bombs country wide for the last 40 years. Joel these guys are having fun. It's their money. It's their engine. And why respond to whingers.
Don't be so alarmed and if you haven't got anything nice to say fuck right off.
Keep going boys. Do what you do
Castlemaine Rod Shop obviously you blokes just don’t get it some people don’t want conversion and are happy to stay original,these motor aren’t 10 feet deep at the wreckers anymore ,someone could have bought that motor from you which then offsets the cost of what you’re doing. As it is you acted like a bunch of twats and blew it up for no good reason.
WTF? Why would you do that to an old red motor? And you are treating your audience like idiots by telling them how badly she brakes & handles. It is a HT Holden FFS, this is part of the character of the car. CRS knows best though, pushing the envelope by installing... an LS. A big advertisement that pissed a whole lot of enthusiasts off.
couldnt have put it better!!!
Why destroy a old hard to get motor disappointed. Im planning to LS into a HG van but its only a shell, that wagon look very original seems a waste lost me Rod Shop
Clowns
Why destroy that 186 engine like that? You could have sold it.
A mate of mine bought a kit from CRS so he could have front discs on his' 69 F100. We could not get them to fit, and we are aircraft mechanics. Ended up having to drive the F100 to Castlemain to get it fitted! The lesson here is don't expect their bolt-in kits to... bolt in.
Why would you destroy the motor? Someone out there might have been looking for one, or could have bought the thing. Very wasteful!!!!👎👎👎👎
david de Figueiredo yep I know a bloke that’s chasing one, would’ve paid $1000 for it complete, utter morons!!!!!
Hey guys loving the videos. looking forward to watching the build. I must say though that i was a bit disappointed to see the 186 go the way it did. No Anger towards you guys i just feel the engine could have lived on. I just bought a 71 Kingswood that i am thinking of putting an LS into soon. I feel these videos will teach me a lot.
Another shit LS swap. Plus it never will last a quarter of the time the 186 did what a waste of a clean HT
Awesome I’ve been wanting to see this type of build to do one myself thanks boys bring it on 👍from me
Was going to subsribe but aftercthe pointless destruction of an otherwise rebuilsable engine. Twat move...Wont be happening...
Looking forward to the build fellas!
coulda sold that 186 for an easy grand all for 2 mins of nothing spectacular
I just found this channel and subscribed. Once I seen you blow up the 186 I am unsubscribing
Blowing up the 186? Really? Second video of yours I've watched, that's enough for me
Excited to see Rod Shop on UA-cam and the build progress, nice work fellas!
If you don't want the original motor, fine. Sell it to someone who does and help finance the project. That would also help someone with their project. Your video is a public relations train wreck.
Was all keen to watch this series as I am looking at the same conversion but not after you acted like a 14 year old and blew up a motor many people would love to have. Not likely to use Rod Shop gear.
Why destroy the 186 absolutely stupid. What sort of show are you guys running. Gone
Cool build guys. Have a hg with a 308 that I may be looking to update at some point. Interested to see how this goes.
Frothin to see this all happen
I've been planning on doing a similar build with a ford xc wagon, this will be really interesting to watch.
Don't destroy what others can enjoy.
what a jerk thing to do to that old engine :(
Jeezus, nearly hit the ute, definitely fix those brakes.
What you think about helltec
Awesome 👌 look forward to this build, never mind the sooks. Subbed
Cheers
Anyone for bacon and eggs?
2.21 GOOD BYE!
As I remember those holdens did not have a foot rest above the clutch.Adam
Coolant straight down the drain?
nice mate, you gonna keep the column shift?
We are going to go a floor shift.
Where did you find that wagon? Where can I find one just like it.
We found this one locally mate.
Not many left, all the motors are blown up
@@jimclarke1108 I know man, I'm up here with all the hill billys and theres nothing like that here.
Y be a tool there have to be some1 who needed a186
Those factory brakes need some good old asbestos brake shoes....they worked better but may kill you with the dust..... :-)
I am all for modifying vehicles from standard. HOWEVER .... An Absolute waste of a perfectly good re-buildable 6 cylinder engine for someone who wanted to restore a vehicle to standard.
seriously it's just a 186 people settle down hahaha it sucked 60 yrs ago it still sucks now.
You are kidding right! You want an LS go buy you’re dime a dozen VT VX etc. it’s already got all the modern gear. Leave these for people that appreciate history 😖
What's wrong with joining the two Jason?
No one would know the LS was in the engine bay if it was parked down the street mate.
We want the history of these early cars to be appreciated by all not just a few that remember the good old days mate.
At least the car will be used and enjoyed for many years to come once its finished.
Subscribed but please don't do that again what a waist. Looking forward to the build. 💪💪💪
Thanks Matt,
Stay tuned for episode 2 on Friday mate.
Thanks for subscribing!
So much butt hurt for the POS six. Originality might be worth $$$ but it doesnt keep these old cars being driven regularly, with confidence and alot safer. Id rather see every old car on the road running new gear so no one can use the excuse of outdated and unsafe to lobby for their retirement.
@bernzie001 Insert "Street Rod Only". Thankfully, our laws don't dictate that much authority. Or itd all become pretty cookie cut, looking mate. (Some might even say it is already) Verity can be appreciated with out being balls deep into it.
That engine could be rebuilt and will last another 50 years. If you’re worried about safety then start with the brakes ,steering and suspension because that’s where your safety starts
Still pissed about being left with bloody rubbish (engine mounts that didn't fit what they were supposed too)and then having to wait a month for you to sort it,you could do alot better than letting your customers pay for your mistakes!
Destroying cars is a waste .Why not turbo the ls and run it till explodes much better to see more likes and subscribers. Adam
Don't know how old you are im 47 and a spray painter first car was a 65 cortina 2 door lived in the country and im telling you most cars couldn't catch me on dirt roads also had alot of daddo 120ys used to take them up the bush try killing one of those! Gave them a chance keeping the oil and water in there one of them we put a rock on the accelerator got bored went for a ride on our dirt bikes came back 4 hours later it was still going! Was a little warm but these days to kil the 186 like that and prob had matching numbers too is pretty f#$*ed no wonder its only got 30k views after 2 years sorry boys ls swaps in a beautiful car like that is boring i agree that brakes could do with swap only for the fact cars in front can brake too good now even if you are a good distance away, think that car needs a bit more respect get a shitter and do it anyway that's my rant
What a gronk why destroy a classic like that. LS swaps are easy and boring do something cool instead
I was excited about watching this, but what a waste, of course it’s not going to drive like a new car, that’s why you fix it! Not blow it up.
Poor old car. There is nothing wrong with any of it. Unless you are a shit driver.
These old cars are just as safe as the day they were made. Who cares if modern shit is ‘supposed’ to be better. You guys have just ruined a classic.
Classic 186 just gone. It’s the people like you who do cool things but then ruin it with a stupid idea. An Aussie engine just junked. Not many Aus engines left and you just blew it up. Never coming back here, and I’m going to tell everyone I know to not come here. Good idea though. Just don’t blow up the 6.
We do understand that we shouldn't have blown it up mate, but whats done is done .. we do attempt to try to apologize in this episode - ua-cam.com/video/MjwGUrbOwoU/v-deo.html
Lost my subscription and business at dropping oil and killing an old 186. I'll unsubscribe now. Could have gave that to someone! What a waste...
