00:00Now when you guys get your radiators, always make sure to go in and just double check that

00:06the fittings are tight. Sometimes these will be loose. Just double check it. That way when

00:09you go to pour coolant in it, you're not going to have a huge mess and all your money on the floor.

00:14Welcome to Sam's Garage presented by NH Oil Undercotings.

00:30We kick things off by cooling down the Summit Bandit with a cold case radiator, dual fans,

00:53and a Dirty Dingo AC compressor because performance needs to be kept cool.

00:58Then we circle back to Vicks Mustang with a bold move, pulling the 347 and dropping in a cammed out

01:05LS disguised as a Windsor. We follow that up with a deep dive into an LS Classics top-end disguise kit,

01:12fake distributor, Ford-style valve covers, and clean routing that'll fool even seasoned gearheads.

01:18And finally, we meet with Bob Douglas from Rod End Supply to check out some serious hardware.

01:23Race-ready rod ends and custom joints tough enough for the track or even SpaceX.

01:29This week, we tackle cooling and climate control on the Summit Bandit, installing a cold case

01:43radiator, dual electric fans, and a Dirty Dingo AC compressor. It's airflow, wiring,

01:51and smart fab work to keep things cool under pressure.

01:56Moving along this week on our Summit Racing Bandit project, we're going to attack the cooling system.

02:00I went to cold case, got me a complete radiator with the electronic fans and shroud. We're going to

02:05install that, make a new radiator upper support because the fan shroud from the OEM is not going

02:10to work. We're going to do that. We're going to put our new AC compressor from Dirty Dingo in. We're

02:14going to adapt the old hoses to the new compressor, and then we're going to wire up the relay for the fans.

02:20So this being a brand new engine from Bobby Buehler Engines, he took out all the plugs to clean all the

02:25galleys out. So Summit Racing makes a nice little kit to fill all the oil plugs in this case. So I've

02:31already taken care of that. Then I'm going to go ahead and put on my AC compressor. This new compressor

02:35from Dirty Dingo has a 8-grib pulley. I got lucky. The high side hose goes right on no problem. I got a

02:47higher pressure fitting right here. I have a converted low pressure fitting right here that's been screwed

02:52into the old school R12 fitting. I don't like it. I'm going to go ahead and put me a new hose end that's

02:58got the low side fitting already on it. I don't want to just go like this. That's too short. I want some

03:03movement. So I'm going to make a line. That's my first cut. Second measurement, we're going to take it,

03:09put it in the fitting, and because once you crimped it, you can't change the way the hoses or anything

03:13like that. This is going to give me a nice loop length. It's going to give me access to my high

03:17pressure side. All right, we've got the AC compressor all installed. Got the heater hoses done. Now we're

03:24going to go on to the radiator. I went to Summit Racing and got me a nice cold case unit. As you know,

03:29with Sam's Garage, they're the official radiator for what we want to do because we've got a three

03:34row complete aluminum core and then we've got two high power fans. That's going to give us all the

03:39airflow that we need. So before we install this into the car, I'm going to go ahead and screw the fan

03:44shroud on to the radiator. So now what we're going to do is put it in the vehicle. Now the vehicle had

03:50a huge fan shroud that helped in aiding securing the radiator in the core support. So we have to come up

03:55with something. We've got a 40 amp relay supplied by cold case. Because we're running dual fans,

04:07we're going to run a 40 amp fuse. So what we're going to do is take the heavy red wire fused to the

04:12battery positive. We're going to put the two red fan wires together. We're going to take our grounds

04:17and separate them and hook them up to the core support. In this case, I'm going to run switched

04:22power for the relay. That way when the key is off, the relay is off. So I'm going to take this blue

04:28and white wire. One of them is going to be 12 volt switch positive to turn on the relay and the other

04:32one is going to be ground control from the Edelbrock to switch on the fan.

04:43Now I can't tell you how many times I've used this paper clip trick, but the paper clip doesn't have

04:48continuity because there's a coating on it. So take this over to the bench grinder and just kind of

04:53grind off anything on the surface of it. That way you know there's no coatings. Go back to your volt

04:57meter, confirm it works by doing the continuity test. Then you can go ahead and put it in there.

05:02It's a ground circuit from the computer. I went ahead and tested it. The fans worked.

05:08The Summit Racing Bandit project is coming along really nice. That cold case radiator is nice and

05:13tight in there. So the last thing I have to do, the cold case system is completely in place.

05:17Everything is done except for the upper and lower hoses. So what I do is I take a hanger,

05:22cut the top off, take it, bend it, do whatever you have to do, take that to the store with you,

05:28and then you'll be able to get the hoses you need. Those two hoses will also secure the radiator

05:33in place by keeping it forward and to the core support. Next week we're going to be attacking the

05:37exhaust system. Sam's Garage is presented by NHOU. Brought to you by the following companies.

06:07Welcome back to Sam's Garage, presented by NHOil Undercoding.

06:20Thought Vicks Mustang was done? Well think again. We're pulling the 347 and dropping in a cammed

06:36out LS disguised to look like a classic Ford Windsor. It's bold, it's blasphemous,

06:42and it's built to roast tires for miles. Just when you thought I was done with Vicks Mustang,

06:49as you can see, we've started a whole new project. Look behind me, I have a Fastback,

06:53that one's a 65 or a 66. The Fastbacks are becoming more and more rare every day. Now if

06:59you remember Vicks Mustang, this gentleman just wanted to do some burnouts. So what I did was build

07:03a 347 engine with an AODE transmission. Now the 347 was supposedly having an issue with the rotating

07:11assembly. Unfortunately, once we got it installed and running at 2.5 RPM, we had a horrible vibration.

07:18Now that can be due to either the wrong harmonic balancer or the wrong flex plate. In this case,

07:23we've tried everything and we broke it down to the fact that the actual crankshaft is out of balance,

07:28needs to be taken out, sent off, completely redone, and put back in. That takes a lot of time. So instead,

07:35if you guys remember back in the day, it was very popular and sacrilegious to put a small block

07:40Chevy in an old school Ford hot rod. Well, that's what we're doing now. I've got me an LS 5.3 fully

07:49cammed out. As you can see, it's painted blue. I've got a couple tricks up my sleeve I'm going to show

07:53you that's going to make this thing look just like a Windsor small block Ford engine. You can use

07:58a lot of the Holley parts as far as engine swaps go. They got over 70 brands underneath their belts. So

08:04you need swap headers. They've got them. You need motor mounts. They've got them. They've got

08:07the intake manifold along with all the fuel injection you need to make your LS swap run.

08:12So when it comes to engine swaps and as popular as they are today, Holley's got everything you need

08:16under their umbrella of brands to make that engine swap possible and make it last a long time. So in this

08:22case, what I did was a 5.3. I got a 4L60 behind it. The cool thing is that the sniper that was

08:28already on the 347 is just going to be removed and put right back onto the 5.3. I'm going to punch

08:34in some different answers to the questions and it should run no problem. Then I'm going to go ahead

08:38and hook up the computer for the transmission as well and a 4L60 just works so much better than AODE.

08:43So the fact that we want to do burnouts in this car, I want to make sure that he's got a nice smooth

08:48running engine. It's going to last a very long time. It's going to give him good fuel economy and it's

08:52going to do burnouts for as long as he wants. So like I said, we've got the engine in here. What I

09:01did was because he's got an aftermarket custom K-frame, I was able to put the LS engine in,

09:08use brackets that were already in place in my toolbox. I cut the ears off. The width, height,

09:14and dimensions of the LS engine are very similar to a Ford Windsor engine. So I was able to place the

09:19engine in place. I put my ears in place, bolted them to the existing K-member and then I welded

09:24the ears onto the motor mount plates. Pulled it back out, painted everything, put it back in.

09:29Same thing with the crossmember for the transmission. I just took the factory transmission motor mount,

09:34modified it to fit the 4L60 and it works no problem.

09:42What I'm going to be doing next is completing this project with all the goodies on the outside to make

09:46it run and perform like it should. And I promise you that when you open the hood and you look under

09:53there, you're going to be scratching your head thinking, man, that looks just like a Ford Windsor,

09:56but that's got the characteristics of a GM LS engine and that right there looks like a GM LS water pump.

10:07And I've been through a lot of car shows with the low car car show and just over the years that I've

10:11been to car shows, I've never seen a Ford Windsor setup like this to make to be look like an old

10:17school small block Ford in an LS application. And that's what we're going to be doing with Vicks Mustang.

10:31We went to our chemist and we said, we'd like to make this more effective peppermint oil. What else

10:44can we do? So we play off the three senses, the touch, the fear and the smell. And so the other

10:51ingredient is not noticeable by the nose, but it is a predatory scent. So they think there is a cat or

10:58something in the area. We think it's pretty effective. We, uh, we did some independent

11:03laboratory testing and we ran the test twice. Like I did it the first time and I said, okay,

11:08let's try setting up different. And this test is available and he wants to see it. I'll give you

11:12the whole test result. But in an industry where 70% is, is considered like that's primo the benchmark

11:20for being, for making a successful product. My first test was 91%. Then I changed it and I got

11:2892% and I said, how come, how come when you get a hundred? And he goes, you're really at a hundred

11:32when you're in the nineties. Hey, if you're going to be out there rust proofing, it's an extra bonus.

11:36We actually, now we infuse all of our oils with mouse out. So if you buy the black, the clear,

11:42you're going to get mouse out. Welcome back to Sam's Garage presented by NH Oil Undercoding.

11:58We're making an LS look like a classic Windsor with a top end disguise kit from LS Classics,

12:06a fake distributor, Ford style valve covers, and some wire routing wizardry. It's a head

12:12scratcher even for the sharpest Ford fans. So the magic that makes this LS engine look just like a

12:19Windsor starts with an LS classic top end kit from low car performance. We've got a value pan that they

12:25custom built in-house made right here in America. CNC machine comes with a breather. And then we have

12:30these factory off the shelf stamped steel Windsor Ford small block valve covers, which fit these very

12:38nice billet aluminum adapters that low car makes right here in America. And it accepts the factory

12:44valve cover gaskets, which is very nice. Comes with a fill cap on each cover. Then to complement the

12:52rest of the kit is going to be this fake distributor. And this is where it all starts right here.

12:57It's going to go right through the front of the engine where a small block Ford would be normally

13:01for the distributor. We're going to run the wires through that. It's going to look like this is

13:04running the ignition system. I'm even going to hook up a vacuum line to it.

13:10All right, so when I mocked up the engine, I didn't put these valve covers on it. I had the billet ones on

13:15there. So my clearancing did not account for the brake master cylinder. But because these are dummy

13:21valve covers, I just made two little slots in the valve cover and I was able to clear the two

13:26retainers for the master cylinder.

13:35All right, so what we're going to do is we're going to run our wires through this fake distributor.

13:41At low car, they have terminated the coil pack side. That takes an OEM termination. We'll terminate

13:47the other side, which is the spark plug side. The most important thing here is to mark your wires.

13:52When you're running it through, mark both ends, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

13:58so that you coincide with the coal pack so that when you fire up the car, you don't have a misfire.

14:02That's going to get confusing really easily. They give you plenty of length. This looks like 10 feet,

14:07zero resistance, very low, so you'll have no issues with a long wire like this. Just make sure to keep

14:13it away from anything that's metal or exhaust, depending on where you put it. So what you do is

14:18you're going to run this through. Then what we're going to do is make it all nice and neat, wrap them

14:21together, put them over the valley pan before I put the intake manifold on it.

14:32I've got the ignition coals right here on the frame rails. They're pretty low. Now when you guys are

14:37doing your configuration as far as knowing what the firing order is. So what I did here on the

14:42driver's side is I put little dots on it. You got five, six, seven, eight, in the same manner as it

14:49would be on the valve cover. That way you're not going to have a mishap on the firing order. It's

14:53very important that when you're running your ignition wires from the top to the bottom that the label that

14:58you put on there corresponds with what coal pack you got because then you don't have to chase your tail

15:04when you crank the car.

15:22So you can see the vision, right? When it comes to making your car look like an old school classic,

15:27low car performance has it down. With that fake distributor, as you can see, I got it symmetrical.

15:32When you look at it and you're a Ford guy, you'll be like, why are the wires not messy? And you'll

15:36start to scratch your head. And low car performance also does include a sub harness that extended

15:41in the LS classic kit. This is long enough for you to be able to go down to where you need to go to

15:46and then come up here and hook up to the MSD ignition system. So I am one step closer to getting

15:52this engine swap done. Next week, we're going to tackle the intake manifold.

16:00Sam's Garage is presented by NH Oil Undercoding.

16:04Welcome back to Sam's Garage presented by NHOU.

16:29This week, we're joined by Bob Douglas from Rod End Supply to check out race-ready rod ends,

16:44R joints, and even SpaceX spec components. If it's custom, strong, and made in America,

16:52they've got it in stock. All right, we got Bob Douglas back in the house from Rod End Supply.

16:58You know they make all the links needed for your race car and aftermarket custom application. Now,

17:04we got a lot of new parts, right? Show us some of the new items that you have at Rod End Supply,

17:08Bob. Yeah, we've got a lot of a variety of parts that we stock. One of the things that we're now going

17:15to be working with in the off-road, but this is called the R joint. There is a finale cup inside

17:21of it that this requires no lubrication. This is a totally stainless part. This is an inch and a quarter

17:29thread. This is a three quarter thread. We also have this in a one inch thread. These inserts,

17:35which neck down the hole in the ball, will also be able to go from one unit to the next. This is an

17:41investment cast part. It's extremely sturdy, strong, and won't rust. So it's excellent for the off-road

17:50industry. That's very nice. What about this monster? There are very few companies that are able or can

17:57make large rod ends. Normally these are used in industrial applications. This is 11 pounds.

18:04That's crazy. Yes. It's so cool. But we now stock this size. And what material is this?

18:14That is 4130 chromoly steel. Wow. It has our 5200 hard chrome bearing steel ball,

18:22and we do have the injection molded nylon fiber race. This is extremely durable. Like I said,

18:29to my knowledge, we're the only company that has these in stock. What else do we got?

18:34For the circle track guys. Circle track guys like to keep the weight down,

18:38especially on the rotating weight. We now are offering titanium bolts. This has the captivated

18:46washer. So we have them in black. We have them in the standard silver color, so to speak.

18:52This particular thread is a 516 18 thread, which is standard in beadlocks for race cars. You can also

19:01use the same things to put the centers in the wheels. And when you have up to 32 bolts on one wheel alone,

19:08weight really matters. And this thing weighs nothing. Yeah. And it's durable and you could reuse it many

19:13times. Yes. Now what about this flat flange right there? This is a part that customer and design,

19:19we make this special for them. And what this does is this goes on a shock tower for the Mustangs.

19:25This is stainless. This has the bearing in it. This one has a Teflon liner in it. And that's where

19:30your shock stud goes up through. This is a part that we made for SpaceX. And this has got a Monell body.

19:39It's got a high misalignment ball. It has the slot cut into threads because they don't put a jam nut on

19:46there. What they do is put a set screw in it. And that's what keeps it from rotating going from one

19:51direction to another. So if anybody wanted to custom make parts for their vehicle, they go right to the

19:55catalog, right in supply, and they can find what they need. Yes. We've got enough parts that we can

20:01kind of mix and match. Now when you get into the point that you want something special, that more than

20:06likely is going to be a minimum of a hundred pieces. And depending on how complicated it is, it can be a

20:13thousand pieces. But they can call you and get it done if need be. Yeah. So if a race team needed

20:17something like that, they can do it. Well, there you go, guys. If you want to build something custom,

20:20or you want rod ends, get them right here in America and have reliability. And they're going

20:24to be in stock. And you need anything custom, you can call Bob. They don't only make them,

20:27but they also race them. We'll see you next week when we install the new joints onto the 68 Corvette.

20:32Be sure to check out Sam's Garage on these other media platforms.

20:44Send us questions and feedback to info at samsgaragetv.com

20:49From cool running classics to cammed up swaps and race ready components. We brought the heat and kept

21:03it under control. The Bandit's cooler, Vic's car is meaner, and rod end supplies got the gear to back

21:09it all up. See you next time on Sam's Garage.
