      Looks like some fabbing to me. It’s not fully bolt on, but certainly helps to know people.

    Andy seems like a good guy and runs a great shop. Favorite build series by far and anytime ASM is involved you know it is going to be great.

    The editing of your episodes is so good, you don’t even realize how good it is sometimes. The story comes through and the video cuts and camera work are all transparent.

    I felt like those tears at the end were tears of joy.
    Congratulations sir on the new rear end from a Ford with a GM pedal. A proper high revving Honda power plant on a beautifully designed Mazda shell. (:
    I'm excited to see what you all come up with next.

    Been waiting for this video all week. Always worth the wait, so cool seeing all the on the fly changes ASM can do for a project like this to be a reality.
    Will we get this FD be weighed? I am really curious to see what it is after the intensive drivetrain swap.

  • @mcdamn_it
    @mcdamn_it ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm a bit surprised that guy from ASM didn't use a funnel to put the engine oil in, letting it spill down the side. Especially after ensuring how much "cleaning up" of the bay they were trying to do.

    If you start looking hard enough there will be probably "some Mitsubishi" in it too. They made a lot of parts for other manufacturers back in the day. (For example the air re-circulation valves on certain RB engines.)

    Just wondering: it seems like hammering the exhaust was inevitable since the diff was in the way. Is the hammered exhaust a cause of any concern?

    Was there a reason the front diff bolts could not have the nuts on the bottom? It's better to have the bolts stay in the diff mount (from the top) if the nuts backed off completely.

    I’m not really sure but doesn’t it seem like you’ll have issues with the rear diff Mount? I mean it’s gonna be constantly vibrating so the sealant you used with unhear from the surface and cause leaks or even bolts to back out

  • @rathion2853
    @rathion2853 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow that’s too much work! Also there’s no way that diff mount being sandwiched between the diff housing and back plate will seal. The torsion through the diff will make that plate flex and break whatever sealing surface exists.

    • @zprecisionllc7409
