EP. 5 - Installing Radial Airplane Motor in Volkswagen | Custom Motor Mounts.

Published 2024-01-11
On this episode we add on to the recessed boxing plates and create a pair of motor mounts to tie everything together. A major milestone in any build is getting the motor and transmission fitted and it was a great feeling to see if all mounted under is own weight. Really gave us a visual on how great this motor looks sitting in the back. Enjoy!

  • Geez hope you’re ok mate, that was a little scary watching you, I get back twinges every once in a while and can relate, not a fun thing to go through. Nice work on those mounts, I like it when you’re done they look pretty much factory, well done! I watch Karl all the time too, I come his home town up in Canada, very talented young man as you are, enjoy watching your videos! Have a great weekend Jordan!

    Bro, if that was a stinger in your back, don’t ignore it! Spent years as a paratrooper having lots of little back injures. I would get them randomly holding stuff just like you were and the imbalance would trigger them. Didn’t address it for years and one day that pinch caused my left leg to go to shit. Several surgeries later and never got 100%. Hope it’s not that and you just whacked your shin but your reaction made me think of mine instantly.

    Friggin Awesome Job Dude !!! I'm so hoping we get to hear this baby purrrrr......??? 🤗😉😎
  • Love it. Need to see Axel's wheels and sitting on the deck. Great stuff and love the dimple speed holes.
  • Brilliant job mate, Great skill, neat finishing and overall very nice workmanship. I am really enjoying watching your job on the VW bus. 👌👍👍👍

    You should look into the Arcdroid CNC plasma cutter it would be very useful for you and isn’t nearly as expensive as a traditional CNC plasma table.

    Vw and Porsche had a floor pan that would brace the rear frame together and create the air cooled duct around the engine 😊

    10:42 a strip of flat material along the edge turning the flat insets into something that could have been pressed industrially would make sense, would stop the flexing back and forth (not that these thicknesses would flex a lot anyway)

    Heck, that moment at 9:22, was that a slipped disc at number 3-5. Boy I could feel it as well, and actually ended up making custom tool to get the disc back in, after spending a couple years at Chiropractor, when the first day of attack, it took two kitchen chairs to cripple my butt out to the car. If this sounds familiar, I better make you one too. And I'm never getting my spine fused period.. My Xwife did, and when she showed me the scar ten years later,, and how she's now limited movement, hell, no way. Now seventy, I still fix my blown out disc at will, or it's Massive Pain for a Week. I don't like pain meds, as they fake me out if disc is actually in place. Cheers

    We (that means you and us, ok?) are heading into some pretty cool territory! Good Times!
  • @jrehtil1494
    Nice craftsmanship Jordan! Karl should be proud
  • @ericargo9157
    Wow, I just noticed you have 192k subs. Congrats Jordan. I don't think I've seen a custom fab channel grow as fast as yours. I think it has to do with your skill set and the production quality of the channel. Well done! The bus is SICK.

    Hope you're ok, if that was your back you need to get that looked at. Great job mounting the engine. Hope to see more of this VW.

    I ran a Subi 1800 in my Kombi and tried the radiator up under the center with a big scoop but found it was no good in the hot Queensland conditions as it was picking up the road heat, I mounted the radiator at the rear opening and the air coming down through the side ducts were better but I really needed to put a belly panel under the engine to seal up the cavity so all the ducted air would be forced through the radiator in the rear door way, as I found going up long steep hills the temp would climb to boiling. I can't wait to hear the sound of this triple, it should be wicked, and your fab skills are top noch, awesome job mate. Just noticed that your model Kombi doesn't have the side scoops like the later models.
