On the next episode of Jays 67 Camaro project: “The 4l60 failed again so now we’re swapping in a 4l80 which we should have done in the first place”. The content is great Jay and you’re doing your car how you want to do it, keep up the good work.
JayzTwoCents I figured the current trans was either a 700r or 200r since you have a gen II small block. I was commenting on your statement about building a 4l60 with the LS7. I like your plan for eliminating the “e” portion, it would pair nicely with your initial carbureted plan, but anything over 550tq and the 4l60 will have the same planetary issues as the 200r is having now. Plus the sun shell is very weak and tends to break under high tq. It will live for a bit but the money spent to make it “bulletproof “ would be better spent on a 4L80.
@@erict9220 I agree, don't bother with 4l60e, go 4l80e. Your plan for eliminating the "e" can still work on the 4l80e. I don't know how it's done but there are simple controllers that some people even make themselves for their street/strip cars running 4l80 that make them manual control. 4l60 is famous for failing even when built. 4l80 is famous for being pulled from a junkyard, thrown behind a turbo ls and running at least low 10's with no mods besides a converter and maybe a HD2 kit.
I've built 4l60e for vehicles over 1000hp but it's really expensive making them reliable. 4l80 is stronger but also alot heavier. I prefer the idea of building 4l60 for racing because of this weight difference.
@@jamesjonesphotography Makes sense. 4l60e is close to 100lbs lighter, I'm sure a bunch less parasitic loss, makes sense for racing where you're looking for every advantage. My comment about "4l60 is famous for failing even when built" was about the more common "supposedly 500-700hp capable" builds, not the "Stage 5 with billet everything" type of build. Throwing enough money at a problem does fix it sometimes. For those without pockets that deep and/or willing to take the weight penalty without as extensive of a trans build the 4l80e makes a lot of sense for them. Either way Jay has the parts already and made a comment here about Red Barn's Camaro having a 4l60e taking 700hp for over 100 1/4 miles passes so I'm curious to see what goes in it.
I am a computer guy (work in computers) but my hobby are cars like you. Great that you are doing both, love it. Keep up the great work looking forward to each new video. I actually owned a 1967 Camaro RS convertible, 327 / 325 HP. Sold it and sorry I did. Keep doing what you're doing.. thank you 😎
Woohoo more Camaro content! Keep it coming Jay! Watching you and a few other youtubers have actually helped push me to finally jump off the edge and make my own channel. Thanks for the inspiration! Also 16:24 you called? Is it Pizza time?
I love looking at all the stickers and realizing that a lot of them are based in the area I live in. I live in the east suburbs of Cleveland so Cometic is here(I've worked for them), summit is in Summit County, about an hour from where I live, Wiseco is here. for some reason we have a lot of the car companies.
Building cars that other people have been in can be so frustrating honestly, but at least you havent gave up on it. Good car content is kinda hard to find so glad to see this
Hughes has a new dif cover that actually cools the lube. Its pretty neat has breakaway scoops on the bottom and cooling fins that work. Also a channel to insure the pinion bearing gets lubed proper af.
I like the passion feeling of this project. I'm by no means a gearhead (was a military mechanic though so some experience there), but it's cool to get some exposure. Glad y'all have something fun.
This channel is awesome! Just shows how strong of a TH-cam star you are. You could talk about any subject and make it interesting. I'm thankful for you and your talent.
Yea I have owned and broken 2 Tru Trac differentials. Just dont wheel hop the car and pray it keeps together. Good luck. Mine was in a 6 speed 2002 Transam 400ish RWHP. In a Moser 12 bolt with 4.10 gears.
Jay, I know mechanics who have been mechanics for DECADES that still hurt themselves every day. Don't be embarrassed to have hit yourself with the dead blow, be embarrassed that it happened on a video YOU took, uploaded to your channel, and has been seen by thousands upon thousands of people. 😁
breaking subarus and evos down for uk parts economy was my business so know all too well the pitfalls of parts under the car but japanese import parts in the UK is like striking gold. as for nic i did wonder why we dont see more of him hes a good guy also fractual josh miss seeing him in skits too. hope to see more of them doing colabs with you
Yea, the shift kits can be rough on the street but on the strip using the turbo 400 shifting hard nothing like hearing the slicks bark going into second and feel it set you back in the seat. I thought about running a manual kit but I stuck with the auto manual kit. Leave it in drive it would shift but it took out all of the safety lockouts so it would hold the gears until you were ready to shift up and if you wanted to be flying down the road and drop a gear it would.
Sence your going pro Turing rought I recommend a tci 6x transmission, it's a 4l80e based with 6 gears! Comes in sequenceal shifter or paddle shifters, full manual valve body! Tci is the way to go man
Technically the 4L60E is just a renamed updated/refined version of the 700R4 and i think they had the same case even up till 1997 when they switched to a two piece case the following year, I have heard of the planetary gear sets in the the 700R4 transmissions not being able to handle a lot of power and failing before too.
that gear change sqwacking cracked me up so bad, and I really like the 4L60 idea, it's a good way to go because there are so many readily available parts and shift kits and modifactions so that you can just keep changing it up and tinkering
Differential I'd go with, and the transmission setup I'd go with. Making me jealous over here. I did it in my Lumina, except it did still have electric solenoids. I'd be looking for an automatic lock up solution that could just be turned off for track day.
I had a reverse pattern manual valve body in my '70 Challenger and loved it since it was the next best thing to a stick. Stuff happens,wish at times I had videos of the stupid stuff I've done working on cars!
2004R gets a bad wrap but it's only because they are never set up right! If the TV cable isn't adjusted properly the trans will eat itself. Otherwise they're stout and can take a beating. Also I'm assuming the car currently has a turbo 350 in it since you talked about it winding down. I love that sound. lol
@JayzTwoCars I know Casey Putsch has a video about teaching a kid how to drive stick in a Viper so the higher hp might not be a bad thing for teaching your wife... But that's of course up to her. Keep up the great content!
tech tip put the carrier in the freezer over night. heat up the inner race of the bearing just enough that its hot but not glowing and then drop it on the cold carrier it drops right into place and no pressing needed. Thats how I do it for the diffs I build.
Be careful with the positive traction rear end. Many cars have met their demise because of positive traction and a slight curve in the road. It's only good for straight-line acceleration and nothing else. If resto-mod is your goal, I'd seriously consider electronically controlled limited slip instead.
Well, just needed to see this as my tracker has now discovered rust issues. Struts, subframe, frame, body. And my windows off track. Worth it to put in $1500 or so in the $800 POS
I absolutely love all of this car channel. Please don't stop it!
Me too! And I don't even really understand any of it lol but its just fun to watch and I like seeing the more vlog style content too!
You've got to be kidding! This was the first car video on youtube i've watched which didn't feature a car in it. Just 22:59 of jay's face.
Jay: Nic is coming back
Me: Yay! Coconut Monkey! XP
Actually been missing him for a while. Asked a while back where he is at aswell.
SAME!
On the next episode of Jays 67 Camaro project: “The 4l60 failed again so now we’re swapping in a 4l80 which we should have done in the first place”. The content is great Jay and you’re doing your car how you want to do it, keep up the good work.
It’s not a 4L60. It’s. 2004R and yes we are changing the transmission entirely

15:25
Jay: *Shows the drag radials*
Me: "Oh yeah. damn. Damn boy! DAYUM BOY HE THICC BOY! THAT'S A THICC ASS BOY! DAYUM!"
I came here from his computer channel and have gained a whole another level of respect for this man
Jay you're a man of very many talents. Please never stop making different videos
"Without hitting myself in the face with a hammer." Says the man who didn't film it this time.
Not any hammer but a 10lb dead blow hammer
I love jay’s face light up when he calls it a “pro-mod” 🤣
This channel is probably the best thing you've ever done on TH-cam and you've done some cool stuff
Don't hate yourself for liking those fat back tires, my dude. Those looked absolutely sick!
I am a computer guy (work in computers) but my hobby are cars like you. Great that you are doing both, love it. Keep up the great work looking forward to each new video. I actually owned a 1967 Camaro RS convertible, 327 / 325 HP. Sold it and sorry I did. Keep doing what you're doing.. thank you 😎
jay swearing makes my day for some reason

Also 16:24 you called? Is it Pizza time?
dude this is a great video series I havent laughed out loud watching you tube in a minute. You three guys is a good mashup!
I'm so happy to see you active with the car content. I love computers and technology, but cars are what get me rock-hard.
YAY NICK IS BACK I MISSED HIM!!!!!!
Jay, watching you work on this car is DEFINITELY helping me get through the “shelter-in-place” situation. Thanks!
6:14 this is like Forza bro 🤣
RIP if those are Harbor Freight Jack Stands!!! Love the Car channel!

Can't wait to see nic again
Love the packer gear.
Loving the car channel. Much more realistic restoration than you get on velocity or other "no cost considered" car shows
Building cars that other people have been in can be so frustrating honestly, but at least you havent gave up on it. Good car content is kinda hard to find so glad to see this

This rims and tires are very nice I had pro street rim with Micky Thompson drag radials on my mustangs loved the look
Man... I love cars and computers. I wish you were my friend. Haha. You're the best bro. Keep it up! 👍🏻
That mechanic has the cleanest hands ever. Is this a Westcoast thing
Hi Jay, Thanks for the awesome content!! Lots of love, stay safe.
This channel is awesome! Just shows how strong of a TH-cam star you are. You could talk about any subject and make it interesting. I'm thankful for you and your talent.
Tinkering...so fun! Love watching you learn and seeing the good, bad and ugly with the car! Ahhh! Love the smell of gasoline and oil!
Yea I have owned and broken 2 Tru Trac differentials. Just dont wheel hop the car and pray it keeps together. Good luck. Mine was in a 6 speed 2002 Transam 400ish RWHP. In a Moser 12 bolt with 4.10 gears.
Subbed years ago for computer stuff but now im only watching the car content lol

Wow how did I not know Jay had a car channel.
Cant wait for the next one. Great work
Car channel is really good, keep it going!
Broo this Camaro I making me want to move back to PR and help my dad rebuild his Camaro
Yo, Jay is a gearhead!? No fucking way, sweet fucking ride my guy.
Packer Fan? That man has my business!!!
Loving the car. Makes me want to do a project car lol
i completely forgot this channel was a thing im so excited
I wish I had a cool mechanic to hang out with like Mike.
I forgot you had a car channel, I wasn't into cars when you made it but here I am! Have my sub
"There's an extra charge for this. Get your nut off my shaft!" The content I'm here for haha
Sence your going pro Turing rought I recommend a tci 6x transmission, it's a 4l80e based with 6 gears! Comes in sequenceal shifter or paddle shifters, full manual valve body! Tci is the way to go man
I love the content Jay. It's nice to have things less scripted more real. Be safe and stay healthy over there.
Technically the 4L60E is just a renamed updated/refined version of the 700R4 and i think they had the same case even up till 1997 when they switched to a two piece case the following year, I have heard of the planetary gear sets in the the 700R4 transmissions not being able to handle a lot of power and failing before too.
that guy looks like he can fix anything
my Buick had 3:73 rear end gears, really sweet, great low end and with the overdrive trans it still had (good for 1982) gas milage.
Jay learning every day gear lash is a measurement, and diff cover shape helps oil move throughout the diff.
GoPackGo! Awesome to see you doing work to an awesome classic car Jay.
This is streetspeed717 30 years into the future once he mellows out and stops being a vlogcock. I approve.
that gear change sqwacking cracked me up so bad, and I really like the 4L60 idea, it's a good way to go because there are so many readily available parts and shift kits and modifactions so that you can just keep changing it up and tinkering
I love the content Jay. You're just a genuinely cool personality to watch.
Differential I'd go with, and the transmission setup I'd go with. Making me jealous over here. I did it in my Lumina, except it did still have electric solenoids. I'd be looking for an automatic lock up solution that could just be turned off for track day.
Hit the strip Jay!
Love Matt's shirt! CLEETUS! DO IT FOR DALE BROTHER!
Whip-lash prove the back seats Jay! Cheers!
I had a reverse pattern manual valve body in my '70 Challenger and loved it since it was the next best thing to a stick. Stuff happens,wish at times I had videos of the stupid stuff I've done working on cars!
ohh boy the forsaken 4l60e. i hope you build it right
Foreskin
It’s getting quite the component swap and beefed up parts. Mike has put over 100 passes down the drag strip in his with 700hp without an issue.
This thing is going to be so sick when it's done. Keep up the good content.
Loving the content! I've been working with my old man on his '69 Nova SS installing a FiTech EFI kit so this is awesome to follow!
Nice car Jay
love the car stuff in the mix with all the pc content. Keep it up
Packers fan! Hell yeah!
HI I think Jay gets more enjoyment from Cars , rather than Computers
On this episode of Master Mech and the Innuen-dolts. Legit work happening off camera replaced with nuts jokes. Will keep watching anyway
I would love to see you paint it to match the ZL1
I see buddy wearing ole Cleeter merch
Nice shirt Matt.
Ive been watching your PC channel for 6 years. How do I only today find out you have a channel for the only thing I like more than PCs?
Great stuff Jay!! love the car....keep it coming!!
The levels of scumbaggery are amazing :)
2004R gets a bad wrap but it's only because they are never set up right! If the TV cable isn't adjusted properly the trans will eat itself. Otherwise they're stout and can take a beating.

love these videos man
Loving all the content Jay. Keep it up!

I ain't got that kinda time in my shop LOL! The press has superior speed, even faster than having an inductive heater. Time is money!
Keep them coming m8, loving the car channel
Still waiting for that scope review ... maybe start a new channel over at full30
Be careful with the positive traction rear end. Many cars have met their demise because of positive traction and a slight curve in the road. It's only good for straight-line acceleration and nothing else. If resto-mod is your goal, I'd seriously consider electronically controlled limited slip instead.
Jay i Hope you watch Finnigan's Garage. ive learned a lot.
Can we get more actual seeing of the work being done? Other than that great video.
almost to 100k subs! lets go! great content jay!
smooth drive
Love the car stuff, keep it coming man!
nice cleetus t-shirt!
Love it man
Nice content, love the old Camaro. For great heads you should go with Texas Speed PRC they are awesome!
Only question why not a 4L80 if you are bothering to swap the trans?
Loving it man! Love that car.
If you want to keep the carburator you should try that holley carburator
Well, just needed to see this as my tracker has now discovered rust issues. Struts, subframe, frame, body. And my windows off track. Worth it to put in $1500 or so in the $800 POS
I have a 4L60E too :D make sure you get that bigger valve body made things shift harder but faster :)
Yep, upgraded everything
Jay, when your bedroom escapades sound like *that* (10:15) you need to go see a doctor! XD
Just got some 275 60 15 nitto radials for my Monte carlo can't beat thay old school lool
