I was just imagining Jared waking up in a cold sweat after having a nightmare about walking into Freddy’s workshop to find everything strewn across that impractical floor! LOL
MVP of the Episode: The wooden pallet that the 2JZ was sitting on; that thing was lifted and twisted all over the place but stayed strong. Good job Wooden Pallet, good job my friend.
I thought Jared mentioned that they need to get those projects to Florida. If you watch the lotus vids they were from a while ago, the lounge wasn’t even done when they were being filmed. So, maybe some more lotus content soon.
Can't you get that Bendpak, that gave you all those lifts, to get you an overhead gantry crane? It would make it so much easier to swing those engines around.
When is this coming back?? I was really excited to see this project go on and be done and then you guys just stopped it!! If u have to buy it from tavarish so it can actually be finished and not forgotten!!
Did you try just flipping the engine mounts over? At 18:23, it looks pretty close. it's hard to tell if the 4 bolt holes are set in a full rectangular pattern, but if they are the mount looks pretty close to alignment with the hole in the subframe.
Hot tip for lifting engines onto/off of things that don't fit with the engine hoist... Use an arm on the two-post lift to lift the engine. The hoist is really only suited for from-the-top install/removal. If you have the option to lift it with ANYTHING else, do it.
Try using the passanger mount on the driver side and driver side mount on the passenger side. Should bolt right up and could move the bolt hole back enough to use the stock mount because they seem tapered forward. Worth the try seeing you have them
if the motor mounts on the ISF motor are mirrored, swap the motor mounts to the other side to see if it helps. Works on a bunch of engines, curious to see if it works on this one.
bolt up the SC trans cross member to the IS auto, lift the engine into place make sure the engine/bellhousing join is in the right place then offer up the subframe and build the mounts otherwise you will be making a transmission mount for no reason
If the motor mount brackets have the same bolt pattern on both sides, try swapping them left to right, it might move the holes close enough together to use the stock ISF mounts on that subframe (without all that pesky fabrication you’re planning on)
Don't mod the subframe, at least not to mount the engine (IE don't change the mounting location on the subframe) It'll be easier and more reliable to build mounts off thoseengine brackets (IE replace the engine brackets with fabricated ones). You'll be able to use measurements to get the engine centered and you can push the engine up and back into the engine bay to clear the rearward part of the subframe, or you can push it back and down while trimming the subframe to make it sit under the hood and in the firewall better.
I would focus on engine transmission placement in the car then install the k member and make the modification. Then it will be easier to get the angle correct on the mount you’re building.
Maybe give some thought to a shop crane. Doesn't have to be fancy, just a beam on a post that swings and a winch or chainfall hung on it. Take a look at Puddin's Fab Shop for an example in his garage.
The fact you do things by yourself that others need 2-3 people is really great! Nice to have my coffee watching these stuff! What about the black Supra behind? Did I miss anything?
Flip the mounts from left side of motor to right side of motor if that won't work make a new mount out of cardboard to mock it up . Then you will have a prototype you can copy .
Freddy, whats the pulley for above and to the right of the crank pulley? Looks like it has two water pumps. I havent worked on one before and just cant figure out what that other pulley is for. LOL
freddy swap the engine mount brackets from left to right then they will line up with your rubber mounts as the offset will be in reverse cheers from down under
You and Jared should write out and post a step-by-step (if successful) should anyone attempt this in the future. Parts list, fabrication details, tools necessary, etc.
11:23 Loving the protective footwear...🥺. Great project though - just make sure you have feet able to operate throttle and clutch by the time it's done! 😃
So stoked for this build tbh. And with each episode the tension rises. Great seeing you work on it alone, lovin’ the labor and sketch. Reminds me of the Gallardo build. 💪🏼
Balancing an engine on a pallet with a car jack in freakin' slippers? I'm gonna need some therapy hours after watching that. I love this project, just watch your feet, please...
I have always enjoyed watching your videos. Looking at you offering up the engine to the new sub frame, I think if you turn the mounts on the engine up side down and bolt tem to the enging like that it may line up with the mount holes in the new subframe.
Toyota implemented a cost savings of about 10 cents per vehicle to just reuse the lift hooks. They get conveyed from one section of the production line to the other and never leave the plant. If you have an old engine, simply use those hooks on the newer engine. you just need to know where the bolts go. Usually a spare hole on the front and the back of the engine. Just a tidbit of info you didn't need to know. You're Welcome...
I'm converting air suspension on a ls 460 to traditional air struts. Looking for advice on how I could the warning light on Dash. Any advice would be appreciated?
More complicated, but what about finding an electric pump to drive the hydraulic power steering system? like in the R53 mini for example. Would certainly give you better steering feel and feedback
It looks like me if you switch the motor mounts the left side put it on the right side in the right side put it on the left side essentially putting them on backwards they may fit?
Can you unbolt the subframe side engine mounts and flip them around? They look like they will fit if you turn them around or maybe you can put the left on the right and right on the left?
Definitely a case of do as I say not as I do. Almost everything looked pretty sketchy lol. Looking around that shop it seems as though it’s becoming very cluttered and quite messy. Might need to take a weekend and clean it up some and give yourself some clean space to work in.
Why not just get an sc400 engine sub frame with mounts then use the rack and pinion of the sc300 but make sure the sc400 frame will fit on the sc300 so you don’t do too much work
and now we know this divorce was real.. We haven't seen them together in any videos lately, the Cartrek vid was old. Sadly, They may be on the splits..
From what I can see for the “mount problem” maybe you can switch the mounts plate from the engine from left to right turning them around so the bolt hole would move back enough to get the mount where it should. I see it’s a 4 bolt rectangle that maybe can be switch around. 😂
Thanks Plumbaman! I normally try to stay out of it as much as I can unless there’s a glaring need to jump in and add my two-cents worth. I guess I’m sort of the Wizard of Oz guy who moves the levers and buttons behind the scenes and only comes out of hiding when needed :). But I DO have a very tiny cameo coming up in the next video...
With any conversion it all depends how deep your pockets are if you have a budget double it and add 10% - I think this one will have a better chance of being completed with Mr Pink on the case 🔧
Don't weld on the aluminum! make a steel bracket that bolts to both sides! I'm just guessing you might do that anyways... Love watching your show!!!💯💥💥💥💥
Freddy's phone pinging away the entire episode, totally ignoring Jareds texts of "don't take anything apart until I get there".
😂
I was just imagining Jared waking up in a cold sweat after having a nightmare about walking into Freddy’s workshop to find everything strewn across that impractical floor! LOL
What's with the bots?
every time his phone went off I looked at my phone thinking it was mine pinging drove me nuts lol
Freddy fixing, makes Jared do double work! :D

"This worked better in my head..." the story of my life.
Yeah, I felt that.
Yeah same here, everything i do and say worked better in my head🤪
I like where this project is going...we'll see how long they go at it before it is forgotten like the 300zx, the honda limo, lotus.....etc..
And that's just this channel. There's still a manual SL55 that has yet to be finished.
I miss the lotus
I thought Jared mentioned that they need to get those projects to Florida. If you watch the lotus vids they were from a while ago, the lounge wasn’t even done when they were being filmed. So, maybe some more lotus content soon.
This video should be titled "tavarish talks while triying to drop an engine on his foot for 21 minutes"
That was never going to happen.
@@mbsnyderc you must be fun at parties
Got those steel-toed deck shoes one
The second he said Jared wasn't around you should expect no real progress was going to happen.
@@johnkilo3 HAHAHAHA!! Yup!
"We're gonna have to weld or fabricate a bracket"
Nik from Bad Obsession Motorsport just felt a happy tingle.
Al from the skid factory likes a good mount too
So long as he uses CAD and breaks out the level that “makes the noise”

IT was nice that Jerid went and helped Deric VGG
Hopefully Derick drops in on them next time he is in FL.
This is the kind of project I love, but all the little issues you may be about to encounter are also giving me anxiety, hahaha.
That anxiety is what the Tavarish content is all about.
Let’s just hope the next video isn’t “I bought a new car” and doesn’t come back to this
Yaaaasss das is goood
Hurry up Aaron and get back onto the V10 Subaru you lazy bastard. 😛
(Saying this knowing I have Crustida to finish myself. 🤣)
@@MafiaboysWorld Hahaha you right. 😬 I have been making progress! 😁

15:00 why not remove the pallet and use a trolley jack to maneuver the subframe
Have you finished any project or just good at starting new ones? Can you finish 1 and let us know what you do with it afterwards?
If the motor mount brackets have the same bolt pattern on both sides, try swapping them left to right, it might move the holes close enough together to use the stock ISF mounts on that subframe (without all that pesky fabrication you’re planning on)

Is it possible to flip the mount over, add a puck and drill a new hole in the mount? It looks like it almost would line up?
Would using the subframe or mounts for an SC400 be helpful here? I don't actually know how different if at all the 1JZ cars are from the 1UZ cars
Maybe give some thought to a shop crane. Doesn't have to be fancy, just a beam on a post that swings and a winch or chainfall hung on it. Take a look at Puddin's Fab Shop for an example in his garage.
You should look into a Bridgeport end mill. If you try and weld the cast aluminum it will break quickly.
The fact you do things by yourself that others need 2-3 people is really great! Nice to have my coffee watching these stuff! What about the black Supra behind? Did I miss anything?

Yes, Freddy, a hospital trip is NOT to be encouraged.
Super appropriate shop footwear for moving around heavy engines Freddie. :)
17:40 Can't you bold that piece (not sure what's in there) of and turn it round?
Anyone suggested using the mounts for the 1UZ-FE, the SC300 also came with a 4L V8 from the factory.
take the mounts and flip them upside down and then switch sides.... it looks like it would fit
freddy swap the engine mount brackets from left to right then they will line up with your rubber mounts as the offset will be in reverse cheers from down under
Jared would be proud, at the same time it sounds like he is texting you frantically during the whole video.
Why not just put the left side mount on the right side and right side mount on the left side if possible to see if it’ll fix the offset
17:55 FLIP THE MOUNT should be lined up with the hole!
You and Jared should write out and post a step-by-step (if successful) should anyone attempt this in the future. Parts list, fabrication details, tools necessary, etc.
Come on 300K!!! :)

Make steel mounting brackets to bolt onto the block.

Tavarish you are such an inspiration.The things u do we dream of doing.
I have always enjoyed watching your videos. Looking at you offering up the engine to the new sub frame, I think if you turn the mounts on the engine up side down and bolt tem to the enging like that it may line up with the mount holes in the new subframe.
You should look at getting one or even two lift tables. They'll help you lift and lower engines etc from underneath the car.
What about getting the Jedi welding master Tony to weld it up?! We haven't seen him in awhile!!

17:59 Flip the mount! see if it works
Hi Tarvarish nice video 📹 and workmanship the car is nice also !!
I have never seen an old exhaust manifold come off so easy without breaking bolts or anything else that was amazing👍🏻
Would the orginal mount work if you flip it upside down then drill a hole in it inline?
Love the ventilated shorts Freddie, also the Honda Beat.
I'll be dipped! Love that Jared helped out Derek
Perfectly imperfect! Excited to see more progress!

Can you unbolt the subframe side engine mounts and flip them around? They look like they will fit if you turn them around or maybe you can put the left on the right and right on the left?
Looks like the stock mount is a prefect rectangle - can that just be rotated 180º and drilled out?
Love how at 7:25 you spray and immediately use and impact to remove a bolt. Why bother spraying if you don't let it sit?!
its gonna be really hard to get to that drain plug if the oil pan is sitting right there in the subframe
Should've put some of the money that went to pretty floors toward a nice pneumatic engine hoist.
Could the isf mount be turned upside down and maybe drill new holes in it to line up?
Great episode, really liked lots of wrenching stuff
You need Chris to loan you Oscar for a week.
What about making a mid engine chassis, and put the 5.7 tundra motor?
i really enjoyed my sc300. they're built like tanks and classy as hell.
Definitely a case of do as I say not as I do. Almost everything looked pretty sketchy lol. Looking around that shop it seems as though it’s becoming very cluttered and quite messy. Might need to take a weekend and clean it up some and give yourself some clean space to work in.

"There's a lot of divorce happening in the shop today" Hire a lawyer.
Who ain't getting a divorce nowadays, I know I am🤷🏾♂️
and now we know this divorce was real.. We haven't seen them together in any videos lately, the Cartrek vid was old. Sadly, They may be on the splits..
Tavarish; try removing the engine mount, turn it upside-down and see what the clearance is. Might get you closer.....
Liked this video, good job Freddie. And as much as I like the LS engines, thank you for not making an SC-LS.
Would the sc400 subframe be better seeing it was for a v8?
9:24 Choose your own adventure....sounds like a great spinoff blooper channel :)
So close to 300k!
When is the Maxima content coming?

I like your TShirt Tavarish
that looks like it will fit !! have you considdered making custom engine mounts ? by the way what is happening with the lotus ?
I'm excited for this project too
Remember Honda Rhousey?
What if you swapped the isf mounts. L to R and R to L and see how they line up
I'm sure nobody said it was impossible, that tittle is just a Tavarish special! 😂😂
Probably because no one ever thought to do it. Everyone is always like, "Put an LS in that!" As if no other V8 engines exist.
Love the black Supra sitting pretty in the back.
I remember when the shop was clean and organized...now it looks like my GF's makeup room!!!
sure. she from canada?
Have you guys considered using the engine mounts from a 1UZ as they were offered in that body style.........?
What about using a v8 model subframe from a sc400? Surely that's more likely to be closer
How does the donor engine subframe fit into the project car?
Does the SC300 and SC400 share the same subframe? Maybe you should look into the SC400 subframe
If often working alone, get a "rolling A frame" with an electric winch/hoist
Why not fabricate a tubular front subframe that allows placing the IS-F motor and steering into the SC?
Couldn’t you use the existing mounts and just drill a hole in them and trim off the rest?
Forklifts also have excellent motor lifts
Just a heads up any international viewers looking to use keeps they don't ship out of the US.
Don't weld on the aluminum! make a steel bracket that bolts to both sides! I'm just guessing you might do that anyways... Love watching your show!!!💯💥💥💥💥
How different is that engine from the 1uz that came in the sc400
Flip the mounts over and drill new holes
