In this episode I install the freshly rebuilt engine along with the new Monster Transmission in #ETCGDadsTruck. It’s not rocket science, but I do provide some helpful tips on installing engines and transmissions that may apply to your vehicle, especially if it’s a RWD pick up truck.

Longtime viewer here – love how you share your mistakes, invaluable experience.
I putting a 350 with a t5 on my firebird and I used blue loctite, I've only done a few motors but I could never bring myself to use red.
niiiiice
at first I thought what you were putting on the bolts was loctite. I guess that was anti-sieze? I watched a video last night where the guy put everything on pilot bearing, new rear main seal, clutch, pressure plate , and flywheel and he used thread locker. I was definitely going to reference to a video when I put on the same things he did in a few weeks and just take my time and hopefully have no issues.
Alot of work but great job. 🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
Before you bolted the torque converter with the flex plate, were u able to sprin the torque converter? I feel my trans and engine aren’t sitting aligned and spin the torque
How do you know when the clutch has been placed correctly? Is there a click of sorts?
you are using 2 different cordless impact wrench? if so which ones do you like best?
"Bam chicka Bam! That engine be in there.." Lol
Was cooking lunch and heard this while watching intermittently.. had me laughing.. Great video man.
I wonder if he put the bolts in converter to flywheel
What about Druck for the name? It’s like Brangelina and other blended celebrity names
Bro, please put safety chain on your engine attached to hoist, one failure and crash is not great
Hey eric, so is it possible that i can install a new 4l60e or 4l80e onto my truck even if i still have my stock 1998 5.7 350 l31 engine ?
All those zip ties in the engine bay were working on my ocd
Whosoever installs this transmission, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor!
What about the inspection cover
safety glasses eric. safety glasses!
keep em coming eric. god bless you. thanks for the hard work you put into every video.
A thing of beauty…
you make good vids man people see that it goes unturned bro
Do you know if its true that oil change can be done once a yr oris it every 1500 miles
Yeet
Hey..Eric you need to bring an assistant to help you .. this point of view from safety prospect
That’s one weird looking “4L60e”…
About the integra….
Polyurethane bushings👍🏻
Now, Eric. I've used the Eibach Proline springs. They are SO nice. Because of the progressive winding. It's not at all to harsh for daily drivability at all! Infact it's quite nice. The spring rates for me are in fact awesome.
The only downside for some people is the fact that it lowers the vehicle by an inch maybe one and a half. But it's not to bad at all. Nor does it really require a stiffer shock absorber.
I had some on my 99 Plymouth breeze for years. Never had any issues. The springs just made the car feel more like a higher end vehicle than it was. (I used to joke about it really feeling as luxurious of a ride as a benz)
What I mean by that was is that it was very soft and luxurious felling until I would corner fast. Then you could tell something wasn't stock. However if I didn't corner fast, nobody would have ever noticed anything wasn't stock. It felt so damn good.
I'm looking towards doing it to our family car (dodge dart) someday. Just in case I need to pull an emergency evasive maneuver.
It's never a bad thing (in my opinion) to have brakes that can rip your eyes out of the sockets. Along with sporty handling for those oh shit moments on the road. As well as enough go go to get you out of troubles way if need be.
Now, being able to return to fully stock without and signs that anything was ever different. As well as only improving the vehicle without taking away from the comfort, gas mileage, or drivability is my personal goal when "modifying" a vehicle.
(And personally I hate using the term modifications when I'm just switching out parts like springs, bushings, pulleys and brakes.)
The fact that you can admit your mistakes like a genuine human being speaks volumes about the kind of person you are !
Awesome truck Eric !
It hurts to watch this knowing that you had to take it out again. 😣
I’m ready for the wiring vid!!
Hey would a 1989 5.0 Lincoln town car have a roller cam and steel distributor gear or flat and cast iron???
Thats going to be one Sweet ass truck ! Doing it right !
I to start with the middle hole and end in the rear hole.
in for monster failure
I thought everybody puts Loctite on their flywheel bolts hello brother
Eric please help! I have a 2006 Mazda 6 V6. The dipstick say AW01 ATF T – N. What kind of transmission fluid i am suppose to use. I cant find one that say T – N. Is it say T or N. I checked Aisin website and all over and im confused.Atf is leaking so i need to top up before it goes. I put my vehicle in rickauto and car id but they just list all kinds of fluid from mercon to dexron to t-iv. Please help
ERIC, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG
Completely jumped to catch the eng/trans when it stated to roll off the pallet. 🤦🏼♂️
You look like you lost weight
Eric you rock. Just gave you a shout out for your demonstration of the Valve Keeper Remover and Installer Kit. Will be using threadlock on my flex plate as well. Nice work on your channel and thank you.
Awesome work – I love to know that somewhere, there are some guys that get to work on clean machinery, sometimes.
When all else fails, read the instructions.
I will be replacing the 305 Motor with a 350 in my 3rd gen Camaro. This video gives me hope it will be a relatively easy process.. thanks Eric!!
2 thumbs up!
1:24 You realised what you just said. Lol.
Love how the transmission bell housing is half open the cut out is nice so you can see the thor torque converter at all times looks nice
Was wondering what you were doing with the lube, only ever heard/seen/used Threadlocker on the FLywheels bolts.
Kinda a dumb question here but around 3:30 is the black wheel your putting on a flywheel? Or is it something different for cars/trucks with auto transmissions?
But wait theres
