Cutting the frame to fit the big block Ford 😆
We started mocking up the big block 460 Ford engine and soon found out that there's a lot of slicing and dicing needed to make it fit. Nathan is going to start cutting out the frame while Bad Chad gets rid of the driveshaft.
PS...this is ALL because Bad Chad wants it to look exactly like the Hot Wheels toy , which has the engine mounted back in the cowl/firewall 😐

Thank you for the daily entertainment. I've watched you on KZhead from day 1. Now my 2 cents worth: As you say, take what you can use, forget the rest. 1. The visitors are a total distraction to you and the viewers. You're not yourself. 2. For the TV viewers; These cars are built to entertain. This car will never be used competitively. These are show cars, only. Don't worry about proper engineering. This is just Chad, doing his thing and enjoying his life. We could all take a lesson.
Hello from South Carolina.... Never know what you might see from Bad Chad and the group... but you can count on somebody cutting and chopping something! Love seeing everybody putting their 2 cents in the discussion on what needs to be done next and how to do it!!!!
S.C also.. agree.
It is nice to watch a show were people are not arguing just to make the show better, because it doesn't. And then you get to listen on how they think things out. Not this is what we have to do and the next scene its all done and the people watching have no clue how they did it. Nice job!!! and keep it up. Because all of the above is what keeps me coming back.
I've been modifying cars for 44 years, how much experience do you have?
Yeh, television programmes seem to follow the same formula and when you have seen one you've seen them all and for me they all started with Boyd Coddington's hot rod customising TV program.
@@willwade1101 we have no idea who you are mate. !!! If you have been doing this for 44 years and we all still don't know who you are.... WELL !! . Get out there and show us what you have achieved, start your own company, start your own site .
@@Rob1970s see Rob many can talk the talk, not many can walk the walk. 1 can not deny Chad and Jolene are known world wide. we have seen it in his videos. that is a fact
@@willwade1101 Not 44 yrs, but I am doing a 1966 Ford F100 onto a Crown Victoria Police car frame right now.
Watching you and Nate work together on the Big Block Ford. The expertise and ease that you to possess is something to see. Love watching the great work you guys do. Best to everyone.
At this point I would remove the body from the frame, install the engine and trans & then lower the body down over the frame until you meet interference with the engine/trans. At that point you start cutting to fit. if only the scoop is supposed to stick up you can sit the engine as low as you want and put pipes on top of the carbs and put longer bolts from the carbs to the top of the scoop. If scoop and carbs are supposed to stick out then you can get spacers to place between the blower and the carbs, of course this would require throttle linkage mods where spacer pipes between the scoop and the carbs would only mean longer bolts.
Go drive your Prius
@@scottnorman5057 I happen to own a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda with a 650 horse 340, w2 heads, Edelbrock tunnel ram system with 2 660 Holly center squirtters, Racer Brown Springs& Roller lifter on a General Kinetics camshaft with Doug's (Thorley) exhaust headers. This is backed up by a Chrysler A-833 four speed manual transmission feeding a Modified Dana 60 from a 1970 Barracuda. What are you driving?
@@willwade1101hell yea ❤
@willwade1101 Well you kinda of shut him up!!! Don't hear anymore Comments coming from the peanut gallery!!! Sounds like you have a awesome ride!!!
You'll have to show us how with your project on KZhead
I think you are about to discover the reason gassers had straight axle front ends. The giant engine takes up all the space . The exhaust system on this is going to interesting. I love this beast so far.
Straight axle and a X frame this car would be straight line only and barely at that. It’ll be a lot better as a driver with independent front suspension
@@TheVanIsleGorillayet gassers drove around town your know with Turns and stuff. But we will see what direction they go.
The rear end axels and drive won't hold up to that engine. I know I had one!!
It's only a junk ford engine a pinto rear axle is more then strong enough.
@@darwinfoster7420 That motor isn't junk. The blower is worth a few thousand bucks by itself.
Good to see a channel that shows the hard dirty work of a car build ... always a pleasure to watch YOUR builds ... keep up the good hard work 💪 👏 👌 👍 🙌
My wife and I watch you everyday, have been for quite some time, love this car your doing, could be the best one yet, but you always seem to amaze me ,we live in Murfreesboro Tennessee and hope yall are doing good up there, hope to meet you all one day ,keep up the good work, from Delta and wife Zamira, thank you Chad and Jolene for doing what yall do.
Looking at that rear end it probably needs to go too !
Your probably right on the rear end needs ot go as well . Nate will figure it out .
Ford 9 inch the only way to go!
@@user-di7in2zx1cYou mean Chad and Nate will figure it out.
The spark's were sure flying at Fine/Hiltz this time around. Nice to see some spectators showing interest in person and respectfully not getting in the way.
lol “someone threw shit at me through a fence” 😂😂 had me stitches
Love watching your artistry bad Chad / make it look easy …. Also love how got five vehicles going at once ….. thx queen Joleen and bad Chad for your outstanding car build videos….. always make them look like did whole thing in a weekend/ lol/ know took few months …. Can’t wait see paint on this hot wheels build!!!
Pretty sure that engine, even if it's underdriven, will twist that frame into something that looks like a half eaten pretzel.
Sure if they don't do any frame bracing.
Great idea Nate! Another axle next...🤔
Chad you have the best man on your team to help you and Jolene make this car over the top👍👍
i think it would be alot easier with the body off.
Quit lettingscoop dictate engine height location . Transmission and driveshaft angle is what you need to rear axle assembly .a spacer can be built for the scoop height .
Pinion angle will be accomplished with 4 bar rear in time
have been watching the show for a long time now and still love the grass roots fab good on yua
This is a over the top custom. Chad and Nate are making a car no one will even attempt. very nice guys
I don’t know if you love working in Kirtland much I got all the cut you can do
34:14 Hey bad Chad buddy I want to know if it’s going to be a girl or a boy
You should replace your breaker if its tripping all the time, they do get weaker if their always tripping over time. , also any lights on the same circuit if your not using them turn them off, for instance your not using the paint booth if its on the same circuit shut it off, that will help your breaker to not trip as often. You need to pick up a set of torches for your garage that's what you need nothing beats a good set of torches.
I would stop now ! Take the body off so you have room too do it right to make sure all the braces and reinforcements are straight that motor will pull that frame apart if not done right but you guys are on the right track ! Epic build
Chad is 90% show and 10% go.....as in go over to the other bldg.
@@georgeleighty2984You are 100 percent never did..... 🎉
this is gonna be awesome. great project.
I hate to point out Chad's mistakes rule number one you cut the hole firewall out need to take the torque tube out of it I need to put a straight axle in the front and the motor is sitting too far back he has never built a Gasser I have built seven of them and he's going to start running into issues because he's doing shit a little wrong
I WOULD BE CHANGING THE REAR END, STEERING, BRAKES, AND BOXING FRAME WITH THAT MANY HORSES AT PLAY "FRAME TWIST IS A REAL THING ON DRAG CARS"
Got to get all that motor and trans to mount before any of that matters. Its roller with rear now.
Hello.chad and jolene. You should put the door handle on the front cowling. I just thought that would be so cool because I never seen it before. Such beautiful craftsmanship. Bruce and Crystal
Going to be another great video tonight thanks all
Chad and Nate , have a plan to make the huge engine work in the 1940 Blue Hot Wheels Replica .Regardless the drive shaft had to go because it wouldn't handle the torque of the huge power plant. Nate plan is workable . When your fabricating to make everything fit and operate properly .You need to think a bit outside the box. I would guess that when everything is in place . Chad will come up with a center console and shroud to cover up and fit in the shift lever and etc. Similar to what Nate built in the Hudson Terra Plane. Allis very interesting to watch.
Time for a new breaker on that plasma circuit
The amount of cutting doesn't look like Sunday is a fun day.
I like that Chad, "does it his way". If he wants the motor that far back - it's his toy to do what makes him happy. Most people would maybe let the motor be further forward. It's going to be entertaining.
Amo tutto questo ..complimenti ragazzi👍
The issues you have to overcome is the reason most of us use GM . Mainly because of the front sump pan and the oil pump up front . I've played with a 460 in the past and its downfall was the rods . Mine ran really good and then one day the rod stretches and the intake manifold was the only thing usable afterwards . Not hating on it just saying from experience.
Split the wishbone and mount to bottom of frame like they did back in the day. That will open up the area.
I have a question for Nathan and Chad, do you think that old frame is strong enough for the power and the torqe that blown moter is putting out? When I watch other car shows, usually when they put a much bigger engine in an older car they either make the frame way stronger by welding in more x supports, and boxing it in, or they put a whole new frame on it, that they know will handle the extra power and torque.
I'm thinking they will brace it and box some in. He isn't building a car to rake to the drag strip every weekend. Chand is not going to build a entire new frame from this. It's not needed.
I would not want to be in that car when the frame rip apart when the rear end blows up you should read your comments by removing the body from the frame setting the motor in place reinforce the frame change the rear end for a high gear ratio and putting the body in place but you wanted do it your way😢 by rushing your way i see a big smile😊 on the motor what it is going to do to you that motor is design to lift that motor off the ground. Good Luck
Wow to get front row seats on this build would be great. Fina thanks for making appearance.
Gonna be Cool!! Nice sawing motion with the reciprocating saw Chad!! Good work guys!
Lol, the two of you together are so funny. Love the way good mates bounce crap off each other when working together, good times 👍🏻
That driveshaft and rear-end will never hold that engine. Put the car on the lift and do it right. You have a lift, why don't you use it?
Non of that matters untill the motor and transmission gets mounted where they want it.
This is goin to be an epic build...a beast of an engine being planted in it...oh it's goin to be a bad machine...awesome content 😊..cya tomorrow
Great work Jolene Chad & Nat
Just an idea but if you put a spacer under the carbs, you could lower the engine and trans under the floorboard. That would give more space for legs inside the car! Car has lots of height for it. If you used a manual trans., it would give a lot more room also.
I agree, why do everyone use automatics when they take up so much room and heat?? Cheers, Bernie
Awesome build!
Ask fina she'll know what to do
Anybody got any bets what he going break when really gets in the throttle
Your going to need a drop box transfercase to get that back in line with the rear pinion ( differential )
This is going to be very cool!!
Oh so close! Count down begins 11, 10, 9, etc 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!!! Hip hip hooray!!! I shouldn’t rush it. Exciting! It’s tough for me to be Patient. I remind myself… be patient! Joanna all the lambs look great! The big group of them playing was amazing! Great job!👏🏻 And congratulations!✌🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻🇬🇧
Fun to watch but not long enough feels like a tease but is always gratifying in the end product! 👍
This will be a amazing , when done !
You also have to consider shielding if u-joint explodes!
From shot wheels to Hot Wheels see at Bad Chad's Garage! Ole Henry would be smilin' to witness one of his geriatric 40s go 460 82 years after birth!
Hello from Perth Australia… looks like Nathan was in charge today… 🫢 Anyway… it’s nice to see 2 guys working so nicely together creating art!!!! and for the filming… absolutely enjoy the filming style 👌🏼 Where is the other guy? Don’t remember his name, the guy was doing the standing mostly??? 😬 Keep it up and your work is absolutely beautiful… you guys in front of the cam and behind the cam 👍🏼👌🏼✌🏼 Cheers for the real life entertainment
The fart has been the funnyist thing iv seen and then for him to say come have a look down here was even better
I don't know how much amperage your plasma cutter draws, but you definitely need a larger breaker and, therefore, a larger wire size to supply it. I think it must be a 30 or 50-amp outlet that's needed.
I believe the cowl cut is the right thing to do. Great job so far!
That motor looks great in that car!
Frame cutting ? Naturally it has to be done,! Ua to fit that beast of a engine in ! Some how I knew this was going to be a epic build ,Chad Jolene and Nathan and Doug ! Well they certainly delivered ! Thumbs-up team Hiltz let's get cracking !
looking good will be back tomorrow
Good call Nate. Gotta break some eggs to make an omelet. Will be a monster of a hot wheels rendering when done. Old design don't work for today's technology.
You definitely need to install heavy duty safety hoops. Don't forget!!
Nathan knows his stuff..its teamwork. Chad himself admits he has less engine experience.
You are going to twist that old frame or worse. That old suspension and rear end is not up to the power that engine is. SUPOSED to have
'"'someone threw shit at me through a fence " 🤣
I seen people use piston rods for motor mounts on dragsters. It’s a motor in a car not a space shuttle . It will set in the barn with the rest. It’s a ford needs a good back bumper to push on.
hey Jolene, you find an inexpensive old car then you invite Derek from vice grip garage to come out and do a three day will it run and drive back to United States you’ll have so many people watching you’ll blow up the KZhead lol
Bad Chad and his dream team !! ✌🏼😎☄️💥⚡️💯
Hi Chad, Jolene, Nate, Fina, & 3 visitors, I hope that everyone is doing well today! Chad you guys have a bit of frame & braces to cut to make room for the engine & trans to sit towards the the back of the engine compartment! It is going to be one badass street rod when it is done! Nice work Nate you always seem to think the situation through quickly on what needs to happen to move ahead with the project that you are working on! That is a lot of engine is that stock rear end going to hold up with the torque it will put out? Jolene great work on the video as always, since day one you have been a natural with the camera!
It will be a wheelie machine. I love it!
Love it.your friend 😊
I'm Excited for Chad ,And his Dream Car lm Really Enjoying watching this Build .I enjoy watching all of Chad's videos but this one Build is Extra Special for Chad.I Can't wait to See him and his Queen Joline Driving down the road Enjoying the Car . Awesome Car , Awesome Build .
They need to split the wishbone to get more room for transmission
you should let Nathan KNOW what you want and turn him loose. not change your mind after hes used his strategy to give you what you want.yes its your car but yes Nathan understands what you want..leave him do his thing
They doing all this, does the engine even run?
Complicated build but Chad and his right hand man will handle it. Frame mods aren’t easy but they are certainly doable.
This is painful to watch
We will never hear it run. It will never be driven. No car Chad builds does. This is no different.😂
Sure envy having a great talented person to work with hard to find😊
good job boys!
It should be a good wheelie car, I love it
That looks good guys then cut the tunnel for the gear box
good show😎👍
The engine is to hi and gear box
This car is going to be badass and thank you for sharing your journey and experience as you build it and for free wow thank you because I just in joy watching
Said it before sweet Jolene you need a BadChad Nate Doug fina to bloopers video for your channel
Jolene can arrange sitting for visitors somewhere in the shop...just suggesting!!...Joe Sweden
That’s going to be one hot ride Chad🍻
That big Ford engine giving out headaches already. Authenticity is one thing. You and Nate are down home. Only the best to you.
Better allow for all the torque that’s going be on that frame 😊👍
Need to split that wishbone and get it out of the way or put a parallel spring axle up front like a gasser
1:20 lol working around Men and Jolene quickly starts moving out of the blast zone. Lol
Very nice guys
I would make a new rectangular square tubing frame pull the body off it’s probably easier than trying to patch that up you are changing rear end suspension anyway with a four link also front might be a tad light so add disc brakes and a clip or something that can handle the power safely, just a thought looks great in any case
I really enjoyed the show before but now with Nate and Doug there it is even better gives Chad a lot less pressure I believe
Just gonna sit back with a beer and enjoy .I have no doubt it’s it’s going to get done one way or the other . You will see.
He crop dusted you Chad 😂
Will be worth all the work go for it Team Hiltz 👁🐅👌
👌
I can see next big challenge will be headers. It's looking great
Chad I would try and push that engine towards the frontof the car even if you have to modify the steering. If you have work on the engine will the valve covers come off half the engine is in the cowl/firewall. Sure it will fit where you have it but is it really where you want it?
Yes it is.
