E15 Motor Install - '57 Bel Air Restomod

foreign try not to knock my tripod a little bit of altitude adjustment I don't think it's going to clear the uh transmission crossmember we'll see the pan gonna clear I'm going uphill see it feels like it's hitting something yeah foreign all right yeah drop it a little about four inches if I can keep it this horizontal that'd be good I don't know if I can get it all the way in there this way though all right go back a little bit more oh I'm really close to the motor mount on this side because the motor is kind of cocked it's not going straight in [Laughter] oh I see what you mean the Cherry picker's hitting the lower control arms underneath see it I'm gonna Jack it up I don't have a choice [Music] uh these damn old cars all right do what you got to do [Applause] now the Jack's going to get in the way probably well just want to do that so that I think once I'm on it I can lower it maybe I don't know yeah you're really not supposed to put the Jack under the cross member though it's just kind of stamped sheet metal it gives very easily and I'm still hitting the motor mount all right I gotta see the motor's not sitting on a stand I mean on the lift on the cherry picker string I mean the cherry picker now I can get a straight shot in now I'm hitting the jack come down a little bit am I clear that uh can I clear the motor mount there all right I'm coming down a little bit okay that might help but I'm hitting a Jack now so now the control arm's sitting on a cherry picker so it probably won't move sick yeah cars are good okay get a little more tilt this way watch out for your motor mount here oh yeah yeah I gotta go okay I'm well enough to go back I think foreign okay okay foreign I need to come down a little don't I yeah so could you come on this side and push yeah because I've got the oil filter in the way I'll try to pull it over see it all right so hmm see the team control arm sitting on the cherry picker it doesn't want to go in and it keeps going your way because it's hitting on that side all right all right sure I'm going to pull it back out a little bit what's that in the Box yeah I gotta the whole thing's gotta come over so hold on let me pull it back out a little bit all right is it sitting on there all right I gotta jack up the car somehow [Music] I might have to break the bullet and put on your cross member yeah no kidding I wonder if all right what if I pull it out check out the car and put on blocks I have jack stands [Music] all right I'm gonna do that I'll jack up the car I put on jack stands and then all this will clear but I get a jacket up first I think to get a cherry picker back out am I under the frame almost [Applause] just do this all right that should be enough all right are you able to keep them clear from smashing I'm gonna pull it back out should I lift is it good to come out okay all right I'm gonna pull it out I'm hitting my Jack ET what a pain in the ass all right ready I have to come up higher don't I foreign yeah yeah I'm gonna lift the car and put it on jack stands so that this will clear the a arms controller I do not like that Teeter um yeah no is there ever a simple answer Charles what the hell does that mean I got big ones but they might be too tall come on but yes they are Harbor Freight but I guess [Music] all right I'm going to lift up the control arm it's Jack standing for ball joint I think [Applause] all right [Music] put it on this ring [Music] almost I mean this might work out better anyway because I'm gonna have to get under here for the transmission [Music] all right oh so that's good make sure it didn't slip off that other jack stand I think it's okay [Music] all right [Music] we're gonna talk to the back nah we don't need shocks It's Not Gonna Roll in the jack stands anyway no the um the uh whatchamacallit the winch is still attached okay take two yeah this this load lover is keeping me cocked it's not it's not almost the word perpendicular to the thank you that's a firewall gotta come back oh I want to ruin my new throttle cable my throttle linkage there damager it's a cylinder yeah I've got to come towards me somehow all right I'm going to come down a little and we're looking on the camera Charlie's still looking good excuse me I said Charlie's still looking good I don't want to lock it up there last man brings Donuts what happened no Donuts kolaches anything I ate a donut do you like donuts depends where they're from I have I'm proud of it but I yeah I'm like crooked I need them to like straighten out but when I do it gets cockeyed that's not too bad I'll tell you what hey Charlie can you hold the front of the valve cover here just to keep it from twisting yeah and then I'll straighten this out and push it in good stuff's coming down some I guess yeah I got a ways to go all right I'll push it back a little more and then lower it again all right going in all right drop it a little more like threatening that's good 800 pound needle okay all right going in wash your hands is it touching it no not good all right I gotta come down a little bit more watch this filter yeah push towards the car a little bit clear the filter yep all right brother all right still gotta bring to go back oh okay there you go all right I'm gonna come down a little more oh yeah okay all right going back in a little wash your hands motor hitting the firewall nope not oh there's a load level are hitting the firewall oh I heard something thumping so you're not worried about that pension over here right not yet yeah no it's okay no it'll it'll clear um that will all clear once this once you throw out there yeah so you've still got that much to go down and I'm not sure that I mean I haven't hit the transmission crossmember yet have I no okay so I still got room to go in and come down you know what I mean yeah question is will it go in I still have more room to come in without breaking anything what's that okay that side looks good too does it okay all right all right watch your back in there I'm coming in single one I'm doing Jesus that's a problem um scratch your uh yeah the Beauties there I'm just hitting on something over here now there it is it's so much I'm gonna try to push again oh man it's like what two or three inches before it hits a motor mount yeah so close it just slips on right so close yeah it just drops on um let me try let's pull this back out watch your hand thank you is it yeah hmm gloves so close I didn't even think about that yeah [Laughter] all right coming at you probably it is still that's all you got now yeah oh so close so close and just about the same see what I mean yeah yeah you did a clear in the back that over here yeah unfortunately I don't have any way to um take the load off yeah like there's nothing arrested on without breaking something um normally be a yeah yeah I still got to put the torque converter bolts on that's the only way to get to them so but yes there is a shield for it so what I can do is if I take it off the jack stands it'll lower the front that's probably why it's hitting that'll give me another maybe three inches that's probably all I need but then I'm back on the control arms if I lower it jack stands are just a little too high I don't think I have a choice though the um the legs for the cherry picker we're hitting the control arms that's why I have to lift it but it's too high that's why it's hitting the front see what I mean I only needed to come down but I'm all the way down on the jack stands um Maybe yeah you know what if I take the yolk out of the jack stands and lower it just went to the jack stand itself that might give me enough clearance Maybe Maybe let's see ceremonial it was inevitable look even you're even wearing blue to match I mean Kevin's been after me to use the jack for something for her last like a month [Music] Jesus I mean that's probably not advisable but temporary tires Maybe I'm here now let me try this but that's a good plan B so listen to a creek it's not even touching yet it's kind of sitting on the SE tires up it'll clear the control arm this might be all I need thank you [Music] scratching up my new jack stands this might work all right Dallas really yeah I'm gonna push it down again I think we're back at the firewall probably yeah all right I'll try to come down a little bit yeah I'll go over it if you guys can hold it like you know straight in I'm gonna come down a little bit not only when I wash your hands that's it that's it hold on it's like you're on the motor mount who you are on that side no it's touching it oh I see what you need yeah that's keeping it from going down he's doing the same on that side not on this side I just need about that much more it's tilted if you're touching the motor mount on that side I'm not on this side yeah it's just touching on the back just touching see yeah yeah I think it's like that exactly okay let me um if we do that that'll lift it off if you pull up on that side a little bit true let me try Charles all right I took the weight off the chain is hitting the firewall yeah I know but I'm gonna have to fight something in order to get it yeah I mean I can push down on this side is that lifted off on that side it's like right there I need to go back about that much all right let me go over it see if it'll help any just a hair all right coming down maybe it'll jolt something get a big hammer yeah I need a really big hammer and a really big wood block see see you back into this the tab on the back end of the uh motor mount yeah is it still movable though okay that's good yeah yeah that's okay clear now if you on this side looks like it would go like right into place same here it's just it's hanging up on the firewall up top yeah see it yeah I think the Chain's sitting on it feels like this is I know it shouldn't it should clear it looks like I'm getting a pinch right here come look at this let's see if that's what we're talking about inches or maybe it's I mean I know it's hung up here I know that's where the main push is but you could wiggle I mean I don't mind if it bends a little bit but there's a lot of weight on here what if you took the floor jack and and lifted up I wonder where the you know the flex the bottom of the transmission is yeah if we get that a little bit right it'll take maybe a little bit off that off of there and we could go in a little bit you know kind of oh yeah you know what I mean no I hear you I think I think that'll work as long as I don't mess up the pan but yes all you need the transmission yeah hey maybe I can catch the edge how's that look any better that looks damn good how about us should I give it another little bit I can't on this side it looks like it would be able to slide right in it oh yeah no that's got to be pulled up like this you know what I mean oh that's way off yeah I'm snagged on something Charlie that got a little longer arms don't put your fingers under again I'm not gonna hit put my fingers under the motor now I'm just trying to get some leverage on the back here a tad on it tab player no it's off by about that much yeah okay so it's got to go back a little bit on this side okay but that side looks good yeah so you need yeah actually this side on that side both of them still need to go back a little the problem is going to be this this is what's holding us yeah I was hoping that and I mean enough to give you a little slack on it yeah no nuts to call well that's the thing like I'm going to replace the firewall with firewall stops here yeah so I don't want to mess with the count the Integrity yeah um you know what I could do I could try loosening this bolt in the back and there's still a lot of tension on here though yeah let me ask you a dumb question ain't no dumb questions do you think if we wrap the towel around a pry bar that would be enough over there then we don't scratch anything we just give it a nudge because it feels like it needs to do this yeah both yeah is that still you know what that was good on that side at one point now it's not is the transmission hung up in the tunnel up at the top that's what I was thinking before but I thought it was the if it's not I can jack this up a little more oh is that helping any the hoses are but nothing else is that doing any good and I was sitting on there is it yeah okay well then that's good I can jack it Maybe [Music] we'll go back on it still it's still touching there you go that's what I figured all right let me lower the transmission just the hair foreign [Music] just feels like it needs a pry like to push it over that way a swig and then I don't know why that looks like I feel around over there and see if it feels the same way it feels like it's jammed up to me over there all right that's free so we got at least the cables thickness there these hoses are clear yep I mean it might be hung up on the bell housing yeah oh yeah the bill housing makes it's also a pinch weld along the top of the transmission tunnel where it hangs down and they're pinched together so there's a flange about that thick that high it might be hitting but it's just so damn close I thought maybe we could just muscle it I mean quarter inch yeah yeah it's not even that anymore what if you uh it's got to be the transmission wrap something around and then you'll put a pry bar here see if you can do that yeah I'm gonna put one in here and see if it'll go straight in something's hanging up like you said it's a transmission It's gotta be let me lower it just a little oh you know what the other part is I've got the weighted transmission sitting on Jack and Jack may not want to move they just did enough where I think you yeah I think it's hanging up on the jack which means that means it just gotta push harder a check will give a little bit some 3 8 of an inch grab it here is that good yeah I think so you ready yeah yeah I'm trying to wiggle the thing that was all is that doing anything no okay it might be the jack you look right there you can see no light right at the top of the bell housing is it I think that's that flange you were talking about okay well let me see if I can lower the trans a little more yeah too much no no it released it a lot okay oh okay yeah okay all right let me lower the the motor a little yeah yeah it might work all right you want to hold it that way I'll lower it okay all right you gotta let me in here though oh I'm sorry wait let me give it it looks like this line up thank you there you go all right hold right there how's yours look I'm almost gone almost lined up you're off yeah see it's just a girl it's just a slight angle that'll you know what when you wiggle it'll do it turn the wheel that way the wheels are in there questions path of least resistance what is it there's got to be some way to jet to block up the background not ideal but it might work I'm going to break the fuel pump fitting all right they're getting replaced anyway all right yeah don't yeah I just want to take the weight off the back yeah all right now I can get the chain off it's on the motor mount is it yeah okay yeah so you think that would block out then I think that'll be what we need the only thing is it's not going to lift straight because it's on the side here foreign [Music] yeah you know what that whole thing can come out Kevin what side do you want to lift the front I just don't know if it's gonna work all right so what do you need it's still sitting on still touching okay okay I'm bending the bracket at this point I'm going to try to push it back it's still okay what did that do nothing so then it would seem to me that there's nothing else holding it up but the motor bracket right because the transmission should just be floating should be but I got a feeling there's a jack on it oh can you lower the jack a little there's still weight on it slow it all away or twist the handle a little bit slowly other way yeah no you're right it's the other way okay don't do what I say do what I'm thinking yeah it's starting to sound like a woman okay it's coming down now all right hold that lock it up stop it literally just fell right in yep just fell right on the map did it shift did it twist oh okay foreign yeah it's off like a boat with almost but here look at what I'm seeing look see the fuel pump yeah I see it oh yeah so it doesn't matter if I go up we're down yes it's going to go past it if you go up they still need to come closer yeah and there's about that much adjustment if I loosen the bolts so I would prefer it to line up on its own yeah you know so all right let me do that I'll loosen the bolts those are two top bolts they have adjustment in there there's a little bit of room yep I need content do you want to put that two by four back in there um I don't think so all of the weight you know off by like see here um no I want um I want these to be loose so that while we move the motor around they shift a little hopefully that'll give us enough all right these are rocking yeah no not on the motor oh that's why I was like I didn't remember to be in any clearance on those no not really you said that I was like okay or something no there's a good amount of wiggle room in there yeah no I didn't get you on those yeah um so I have to get under it but I don't the damn Cherry Pickers in the way let me see if I can no I don't want to come down on that yeah I don't want the water I mean the fuel pump's getting crushed this is that little nipple coming out the bottom yeah yeah that'll break right off uh hmm [Music] maybe I can get in over here see the nuts are up inside the frame so I can't hey you need me to put the wrench on yeah can you loosen them um do the inboard one first one and this one first hold on let me get the back I'm not to turn in with it oh I gotta get up in here somewhere hey you making me nervous I'm making me nervous yeah I scratched the freaking harmonic balancer oh good again oh okay I got it oh it hasn't ever heated shut off yet see what they're working do we have any audio no yeah yeah audio audio so you're gonna adjust both of the motor mounts okay um that one's going to be hard to get to yeah you don't think you may have enough Wiggle from there to get to this one I might that's right I might or I might not um because there's also weight on it later huh yeah um that's better though is it it's closer this way so that when you lift up on it it may line up I think hold it right there it's still off I had a feeling I should have got a different fuel pump that is so close to frame oh you know what the transmission has to drop that'll lift it yeah them out in the back yes about that high it really needs to drop so the point is the front of the motor will lift up a little you're on all right I'm gonna lower it someone's crying the Lord we got a lot of transmission spiders man that's good you got it fixed that was Victory Gas all right let's um think I have a transmission where it needs to be thank you how's it looking it's in there did we get more room in the fuel pump not much nah hardly any at all you do you don't have to get a hose in there all right I gotta remember yeah I might just welded in place what that way it won't move again um all right let me look at the transmission all right I think that's good enough so hold on a bouncer and remember right there oh yeah the old one oh the whole I want to say before they were just I wasn't yeah about a half inch I should have put a laser on it I got one I know you do I had a red one and a green um Kevin's like I know I've seen it Rick got me in trouble yesterday toolbox hold on
