- This is a one off, 100% custom electric power steering set up for my 1964 Chevy Belair that we fabbed up. We used the electric power steering motor from a Toyota Prius/corolla. From the dash forward the column looks completely factory. the motor is splined in and can be removed or replaced easily and it also has a modern U-joint.
If you like a more in depth video, please ask questions in the comments and I will answer in the next video!
Great video, thank you for sharing this. When I was younger with a bunch of time trying to become a mechanic, a great flat rate mechanic told me "speed, price, quality, they can only pick two". The electrical EPAS units with steering column are currently selling for $3k 😉.
Dude...well done you two... This is how real car guys do it... we dont have the dough and the glamorous shops... I enjoy Shows like Kindig etc...but unrealistic.. Your shit is real and how 99 percent of us do it.... Dont get me started on Barett Jackson etc..🤣🤣🤣 cheers from 🇨🇦
Thank you man. I really appreciate all the support. And yeah man a lot for this cost over 2k$ this cost me less than 200 to make.😳
Just reading the title, I was unsure about how this would work and look, but it's pretty slick! I'm glad you got rid of that column shifter, that thing was stressing me out!
Yeah man I am actually really happy on how it came out.
Your buddy is a keeper.
Definitely a good friend💯
Good stuff....thanks for sharing man .....Jay ....aka " CarsRcool " channel
Thank you man!
nice job!
Although that acts like a you joint. It does a couple more things. You might get jammed up without it on hard turns. Its meant for give and to take apart. A retractable shaft works better, i just put one in my 77 f250 out of a 94 f150 steering shaft.
Good stuff the Corolla electric motors the same ? And wat year Corolla did he pull it out from ?
Yes it’s essentially the same thing. I believe it has a slightly different mounting bracket but the motor and the computer is still the same.
Thats dope!
What type of spark plugs are you running on your Ls? Is it a lq4?
Thanks man. I just used some cheap orileys plugs. Nothing crazy
Sorry man i ment what plug wires 😆

Great video badass man thanks for sharing! Also why didn't you mount it on the firewall on the outside to minimize the problems with brake pedal and brake switch? Was their a reason you mounted it inside?
Rather it be out of the weather, also I prefer my engine bay to look cleaner. So just stuff it under the dash and make a easy brake switch bracket was the best option.
@classicpatinas cool thank you.
How does it perform at freeway speeds
I’ve taken it on 50 mile trips and never gave me any issues.
What year prius?
2004-2009 works best
@@classicpatinas just picked up a 2007-2012 Nissan versa unit. Same thing. Thanks!
Would he do this to my 64 Plymouth fury? I need this bad. Great work. Impressive.. 👌🏿💪🏿‼️
