EP. 4 - Installing Radial Airplane Motor in Volkswagen | Custom Boxing Plates 

You don't talk to much during your videos. Clearly your approach to doing your channel works because of the growth it has experienced.Great video as always. Definitely appreciate everything you and your team share and the way you go about it.✌😁

That’s part of the reason I watch this channel, your explanation of everything ! Your a good teacher man

Bulletproof. Over build, under repair. Keep this stuff coming.

I’m subbed because you talk through the thought process, helps me figure out the issues on my 27 T Touring hot rod build!

“Dreamer, Designer, Detailer, Doer, Done” This project is the perfect way to showcase your amazing skill set Jord. Incredible design and implementation. PS: you don’t talk too much, it helps all of us without your skill to almost keep up with your progress. 👍🏻👍🏻

It's good to talk. Always nice to know the thought process behind the design.

I enjoy the thought process and the engineering going into it, can’t wait to see that engine push that little volkswaffe down the road.

Hey Jordan, yet another great episode! I really like your thought process on your projects. Looking forward to your next video!

You definitely have ability and pay attention to detail always going that little extra mile nice work

I love the amount of detail you put into anything you make!! Makes everything look factory made! No you don't talk too much! Take care

Once again artistry and engineering! Love the way you talk us through the process. Showing and telling is another reason why this channel is one of the best! Go Bennets Customs, keep moving forward!

Great content as per usual. I really enjoy and benefit/Bennett from the critical thinking and problem solving. Authenticity rather than edit is the way to continue. You guys are great at it. 👊

Hey, just a word of encouragement, the talking is needed. keeps us from guessing what you're doing or why you're doing it.... and besides that's you and your personality. let it shine through & don't apologize for being you!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!

I enjoy you explaining, what you're thinking / doing. Helps me to see what I should be considering, for my own project. Cheers

Love your site love your thought process and seeing come to reality!!! Keep shows coming. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent work Jordan 👏👏👍👌 Cheers Chris

Hey Jordan. Don’t some people talk such dross. There’s a sound control, it goes up and down. Talk to much you should have heard my EX misses! A very well explained thought process. And that engine mount fitted with a real nice snap. And I’m very pleased you explained the cad and how not to burn it. Cheers all the best looking forwards to all you put out to us following.

Awesome fab work mate. I really enjoy watching and listening to your explanations of your ideas. Keep up the great work 👍🏼

People will always find ways to complain. If they don’t like your talking, they can just fast-forward. I love what you do bro awesome fabrication!

The Added Treat is using Studio Headsets and your Tunes are Great @! I do like the altered unboxed adaptor into the Frame,, Nicely Done Captain... From links in memo, I see you are in Australia. I truly loved my 3.5 month tour in around Melbourne, Driving the famous Troupy.. It was designed for going into mines, and fabricating the electronic scales I built for mine conveyor systems. Took him all through Australia, and all along Great Ocean Road. I owe that vehicle my life, in how it got us out of very dangerous wilderness swamp jungle, where one can't see two feet in front of you as the brush is so thick, and then water was coming in the doors. Now trail of mud and water is up over the starter on the engine. Where the only way out was backing up 12 miles,, then getting out and kissing the dirt. Oddly all that time there, no matter how many times to the store,, come out and still get in the wrong side of Troupy to drive... let alone too easy heading the wrong way into oncoming traffic. For the new crew heading there, be darn careful,, think clearly before putting it in gear. Cheers

Brilliant job, going to be mint when done

You don’t talk too much. I get that on my videos too, but I try to ignore it, IMO, the thought process and reasoning is far more valuable than bish-bosh-finger-snaps-done. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 😎👍🏻👍🏻

Enjoyed the video, well thought out and nicely explained thought process.

Great idea Jordan Great work Happy New Year

Enjoying this, happy new year. Can’t wait to see how this runs. Those combi bodies are getting harder to track down.

You explain things well no need to apologize keep up the cool content your shorts are a nice touch music content awesome thanks 😁🇬🇸👍

Great channel. Keep up the good work

Really enjoying this build, like all your work. Also received my t shirt 3 days before I go back to Canada, bonus!

First of all, my best friend and I stripped back, restored, and converted a 1961 VW bus to take a 2022 Subaru WRX STi engine and gearbox from a fire damaged insurance write-off. We had the same issue regarding the depth of the sump and the acute angle of the gearbox lining up properly with the gear changing linkage of the bus. We raised that engine by 10 inches, not the 2 inches you were worried about. We had to raise it that high because (a), it was a Subaru WRX STi, and (b), we slammed the bus to half an inch from the ground using air suspension. Obviously, some of the engines components had to be redesigned or relocated. Otherwise, the boot or trunk area as you call it, that would have been lost completely. I have to say, the exhaust system was redesigned and a remarkable piece of engineering. The tail pipes protruded from the rooftop mimicking like those seen on a truck, only much thinner. After some head scratching and many, many long days, nights, and weekends, we managed it. The bus, my bus, my pride and joy, after my two sons, of course, was finally finished. Thanks, Brian, for all your help. No, you can't borrow it.😂 We took many ideas from different manufacturers, but the best was an American idea where in the 1950s, fuel tanks in trucks were placed behind the drivers seat. Well, we did something similar, only we took it to another level. We had the interior of the bus 3D scanned. Then, using that data, we had a fuel tank made from a specialised resin, resistant to all fuels, which was moulded to fit the bus in two parts in the shape of the letter L. The first part went at the back of the driver and passenger seats, then it curled round and down the length on one side of the bus opposite the slinding door. It was an odd shape admittedly and varied in size. Both in height, width, length, and thicknesses, according to where it was located. Once both parts were loosely fitted together, the designers fused both parts of the tank together using a [trade secret]. We were not privileged to watch this process being done, but a strange noise could be heard. We, Brian and I, with our friend Tim, looked at each other. We could hear what sounded like a spot welder being used. Really, a spot welder? No, impossible. The process took about 40 minutes until we were all allowed back into the workshop. They said not to fill the tank just now as full curing time takes 12 to 24 hours. After careful measuring, the company, who made the tank, said it is able to hold 136 imperial gallons or 618.26 litres. The standard tank in a bus holds 10.8 gallons or 40.88 litres. My wife, two sons, and I drove from our house in Hampshire, England, to Ben Nevis in Scotland, where we have a cabin in the mountains. With stop breaks for refreshments, hot meals, and trips to the lavatory, it took us 15 hours and tripped out at 578 miles door to door on one tank of fuel with a little to spare. 😁 Using our 2002 Volvo V70 petrol automatic. We would fill up before setting off and then stop thrice more to fill up with fuel on the way. Add the travel time with the same amount of refreshment breaks it was about the same time, as the bus took only much more comfortable in the bus. Now to some criticism. I wouldn't say you talk too much but more the way you go about the explanation itself.😂 Sometimes, you treat us as though we are kids and explain some things that, let's face it, a young teenager would know because of well, common sense. Here is an example: You told us you deduct the width so that your torch cuts exactly where you want it to cut. A simple assumption, wouldn't you say? Visualisation is and can be the perfect teacher. We watched what you did and therfore no explanation was needed. That, and the fact that you repeat the same stuff over and over a lot of the time. A little more attention to editing wouldn't go a miss and would probably fix that issue. One last thing that niggles me. I've been doing what you are doing now for a great number of years. I take a lot of pride in my work and every vehicle I work on, must be of a perfect quality. My projects sell for many thousands of pounds, because our work is top-notch, to a high calibre. I would say our work is as good as, or better than, in some instances, than Rolls Royce or Bentley. Our work is i would say, on par with Tickford Customs in the Midlands. So, let me get this straight me old mucker. 😉 You are not building a satellite. You are not building a rocket. You are not even assembling a highly delicate piece of machinery that requires absolute microbial clean surfaces. The answer to all three is no! You are welding together sheet metal at high temperatures, and the only preparation required is that you grind away loose particles such as rust or slag so that the welding media can do its thing. Wiping off any oil or grease with a simple rag and perhaps a little petrol, diesel, or decreasing agent will suffice. Even a little WD40 will do the trick. The heat generated from the style of welding you carry out will burn away almost anything you would find on newly acquired steel. Unless it has been sitting in your workshop for years, gathering dust. Even then, a simple wipe of the rag will do. There is no need to go over board as you do. This just makes for good content and extended video minutes because more minutes equals more dollars in the bank! While I'm having a bit of a rant, why not pull you up on your English. The correct term for the bush you showed us being fitted after you removed the over sized bracket is not called a bushings. [See video content from about 5:40 onwards] When you say: alrite, we've just pulled it out of the jig. I've just put one side in for our bushings. When you say, "I've just put a bit of assembly grease on these bushings." Again, incorrect English. What you should have said is: "I've just put a bit of assembly grease on these bushes, to make it a little bit easier. To reiterate, it is called a "Bush," singular, not bushes. More than one Bush, you say bushes, not bushings. There were several pronounciation errors throughout the video, which i put down to being an American. A really good example is that Americans say tamato. But it is spelt tomato, not tamato. But the best word is something we drink every day, water. And yet, Americans, no matter what part of the country I visited, they ALL pronounce it wrong. Some with a D in it and some with an O and some with an R like, worder. Can I have a glass of wardor. Or A bottle of worder. They spelt it correctly in every state I visited, it was just mispronounced and that buggs the bjesus out of me. Thank you for entertaining me, I had a great laugh. 🤭🇬🇧⚒️

Great work as always mate, your attention to cool detail is a standout. Gives us all inspiration for our own projects PS you definitely did not over complicate- lot of detail here very well explained Thanks for sharing - love the dimples 😎😎😎 Gaz

Espectacular tu trabajo amigo ...me encanta ver tu trabajos y trato de seguirte en tus proyectos....saludos desde argentina y espero ver algun proyecto con un y-block....genio!!!!

Awesome video Jordan, talk away

Since you want the engine higher without affecting the shifter why not locate the shifter rail in the hole and tilt the engine up while leaving the shifter stationary. This gets your engine up higher and also reduces the shifter u-joint angle.

I like it alot!

Awesome!!

SUCH EXCELLENT WORK GUYS!!💥💪🙌 AUSTRALIA!🤍💙❤️👊

I think the weakest part is the 4 bolts going through the the mount and into the adapter plate....holding the engine out in mid-air.

Your work is incredibly beautiful, very valuable and I love your channel. But I have the feeling that the upper cylinder may have thermal problems. It would also have a positive effect on the temperature of the intake air if it were not drawn in from the engine compartment but rather fresh air from outside.

Love the flat bar bender mate. Btw have you looked into the arcdroid cnc plasma? Would probably be perfect for most of what I've seen you cut on the channel.

Nice Video. Radiator? That Engine is not Air cool? Happy New Years 2024 🌏 #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸

I don't know how the internals work but I wonder if it would be possible to modify the tail housing on the Subaru transmission so the shift rod comes out at a better angle. It may be more trouble than it's worth.

🆒😎👍

❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

talk talk talk dont mind it at all probably wouldnt watch if you didnt explain

Why don’t you tilt the motor itself, then you can lift it and get better angel on the output angle Mvh Anders Ruud Norway

Jesus drove an Oldsmobile

you keep talking and we will keep learning.

Why do sorta do thing instead of just do them 😊

17:05 sorry mate, mine was just advice, I hope you weren't offended.
