When The Motor Doesn't Fit, You Cut It In TWO! BEATER 1955 Chevy Nomad Engine Fitment 

Thank you for the mention Dan, was alot of fun at the parts shop. I will check about the driver window track tomorrow. I have already made a nice box for the trim. I will stop at the post office for ship quote Monday as option. Nice job modification on oil pan. ✌

"The chassis hardware is probably Nomad only and super expensive" -- humor at It's finest!

Cut a piece of 3 inch exhaust pipe in half, notch the oil pan where center link sits and weld the pipe in

Firing her up really motivates me. It's like it's "back to life". You are a worker my man....that car has come a long, long way.... the engine is the "heart" of the car - bring her to life!!

With the bulk of the welding done and the motor and trans mounted she's a car. Pretty much at the start of the "all down hill from here." Awesome effort. Thanks for uploading.

Great way to start my Saturday .

I think we all love it when Dani is in the shop !

Single piece oil pan gaskets are the only way to go, good work Dan

13:00 old guys with flip phones... sick burn Dan. The only other way would be to wait until your film is ready to pick up from the chemist...😂😂👍🇦🇺🇨🇦

Take back previous msg, guy is a mechanical genius!

i first started watching during the build for Danni's 57, Your Welding confidence has grown out of control since the "T". I'm Diggin' it Brother.

Between you,Brent and Penny's all the hotrods in Manitoba are going to be roadworthy soon. Keep up the good work

I enjoy watching you work on these old cars man. Just keep up the good work and I'll keep watching.

Loving it , as usual , Dan ! You are so . . . undaunted . I had to laugh when a Bobcat ad popped up . Don't they know Dani is advertising their product already ? Any who . I was glad you tried some helpful advice on drag link / tie rod end removal w/o a smoke wrench . I'm a fan of never-seize myself . They should call it never clean , because I have yet to use the stuff & Not get some on me somewhere , every time . Life . That's the 2nd oil pan I've seen you modify , w/o hesitation . Considering the project level of this build , extreme , i.e. "roof with a title" & replace what is missing &/or see through , that being most of the rest of it , I'd say you make it look like a walk in the park . We know it's not . The cash outlay stops most of us in our tracks . The hard work stops more . The fact you can make videos without all of the "adjectives" , F@#%* , tells me you have an excellent editor . Kudos Dani ! Keep giving it , Dan ! You are Rocking it !!!

Your channel is my only sub that I purposely look for new uploads. Thanks for that.

You are the man Dan. You make it look easy and a guy like me would take a whole day probably to get it done. Can’t wait to see more. Big Al.

Great episode as usual! I am always amazed how Dan takes on all of these challenges without any fear or hesitation. Just does it... and makes it work. You can tell he loves this project, especially by the "ill get this jerked off" statement @11:20 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The old Nomad is shaping up. Heard you say that you're going to paint it. That should be good for a few extra likes.

factory 62-67 Chevy II oil pans have kind of a front sump so they for sure won't fit a trifive. Now I see they make rear sump Chevy II pan conversions. The way it looks one of those probably fits the trifive

I live by the old adage, “If it don’t fit, force it!”

Dan,,,there's a special tool for tie rod sleaves that hooks onto them that pulls the sleave open, you can use a rachet or johny bar. Harbor frieght or Pricess Auto has em. Cheaper & faster than acetlene. Cheers

Bias ply tires give the perfect vintage look to the car, (go well with your wheel choice too). Too bad they're not good enough to drive on when she's done. 😢😢

There is a little "wrench" for those tie rods. It has a chisel tooth that slips in the groove, then cams against the sleeve. As you put pressure on it, it spreads the sleeve while turning it at the same time. Pretty handy and easy to misplace in the shop too. If you do a lot of these front end parts, it is worth investing in.

You made that look way to easy!!! Well done Dan & Dani

Great video Dan and an excellent job on the pan. I enjoy each explanation on the task at hand. I also cracked up with your comment about old guys and a flip phone. That describes me perfectly. Great way to start my Saturday morning.

Another great vid!!!

Great viedo series on the Nomad Drag race all the tri 5s see who has the best times on the 1/4 mile

Another great video Dan. Oil pan came out nicely. Keep on trucking it won’t be long now and this beast will come alive. 👍😎✌️

Coming along very nicely Dan. "Dan the Nomad man"

Beautiful piece of jewelry for an awesome car. Loving this build . Great work as always Dan!

Hey Dan! The absolute easiest way to get those adjusting sleeves off is to:...... ...Buy new ones.

You’re doing a great job Dan.

Bloody brilliant Dan great build

Looks amazing Dan! Great job on the pan

Your work bench looks just like mine. I in joy your videos,brings back old memories way down here in Fort Payne Alabama.

years ago people used to use chevy2 v8 pans...or corvette pans....for these cars....when i did a few v8 vega conversions....i had to use 1 of them...in the 80s the factory chevy2 were getting scarce....so i started useing the corvette pan....

It looks awesome Dan !!!

Nice progress, Dan. Adapt, improvise, overcome. That's hot rodding.

Very Good Job on the oil pan clearance ,,,Good Vid ,Enjoyed !!

Great job on the oil pan!👍🤟

I’m enjoying following your build. This will be a great ride when you finish. It’s fun to watch you problem solve. It may seem like it’s never ending but if you keep at it, you are going to get there. Nice work!

Them welds looked great on the pan. Awesome job Dan

In the middle of your video and my power goes out man now I got to get on my phone great video Dan love it keep going

Looking Good. Shes come a long way. You did a great job on it... Great Video

Nice modification, can't wait to see this done

This nomad is going to be so nice when you get done Dan you are the man when it comes to tri 5s

That oil pan came out nice, engine looks cool too looking forward to hearing it run. Take care man.

I had some doubts on this build but I got to say your doing a hell of job bringing this thing back from the brink of death. Looking forward to more videos.

Awesome job on oil pan looks good

A little bit of know how and alot of ingenuity is a wonderful thang. Get'r Done! Aye. I watch your videos pretty much daily. Love the attitude you n Dani have. Keep it up.

Pretty cool how you modified the oil pan to fit the center link and sharing the journey to replace the tie rods too

Coming along very nicely dan

Hi Dan , good work looks great . Its come along way.

Love the content..you are the fastest hack in the north...keep Givin 'er...

Nice job Dan. Now to go out to my shop for MY nightmare!

Wow the Nomad is really moving along! Nice job modifying the oil pan and thanks for sharing the DD Speed Shop original tie rod end removal trick!

Love from Pembroke ontario Canada 🇨🇦❤

I'm getting quite familiar with Tri-Five Chevrolets, thanks to you!! You make this look easy, because you know what you're doing!! Cheers!!

Nice modification of oil pan looked like it had been enlarged for a other application at one time ! working out the little fitment problems one at a time as you move along !Great Job Dan !!!

I gave my nickel for privilege to view. Not much but it all counts. I do one other thing Dan, I measure how deep the pickup screen sets in the pan and make it about a inch off of bottom so no interference with suction and benefits of the extra oil. Weather I modify it or not, I stake that pick up with a tack weld so it can not work loose inside after its ran a while or not. I have heard of them falling off and it really sucks ... or can't in that case

Great work on that pan

Great job on the pan! Looks Factory!

Won't be long Dan you will have the heart beating in that bad NOMAD LOOKING REALLY GOOD.

Looking great Dan! Will be doing burnouts in a couple days. Oil pan came out nice.

Nice welding on the oil pan Dan

Good job Dan

Nice job on the oil pan. liked seeing the location of the oil pickup tube at back of pan it will never move and always have plenty of oil to engine. Nice to see what was in the rotating assembly with windage tray, shows it will be one hell of a hot rod engine for the Nomad

Great video dan

Dan the engine firewall and chassis looks great and your welds on the oil pan look great too. keep at it , as fast as it is coming along it will be done before you know it. cool that BW found you some hard to find nomad trim pieces for it. they have some nice small block 3/4 length stainless tri 5 headers on ebay for less than $150.

Another awesome video bro! Nice work on that oil pan! 👌

Shaping up well Dan. Never thought you would have made so much progress by now. Looks like you might have a driver by the end of the year minus glass and some trim. Good job with the pan. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍

Exciting to see the progress.

Dan I saved alot of room when I put the booster on the interior side of the firewall and just left the master on the engine side; just a thought 🙂

Another nice one Man, keep it going

Looking good for a trashed car keep it up brother

Think they make a one piece rubber so nice. U have great talent living the life

Hey now look at that i was about to order a new pan for my own project. Im gunna be giving this a hack.Another awsome video again DD shop thankyou for your time ❤✌

Nice welding and fabrication 👍

Good job DD

Coming along nicely 👌

Great job Dan 🤟

Looking good dan's

BW is a cool guy knows his sh¡t!!! His car is gonna be a wheel stander!!! Aggressive power with teeth!! Glad to see you hooking up with the right folks! I'm always amazed of your skills! Rust to Hot Rod! 🚗✨✨

I love my flip phone! Why I ought to hit you with my walker! (Great work!! Enjoying the series)

Love a Small Block Chevy... And some classic Ram Horns?! I know they ain't staying though... Diggin' it Dan!!

Nice to see you taking your time and not rushing through things on this build. Remember, haste makes waste. With this build costing you your childs college fund , you cant waste too much. lol.

Congrats on your 80 k sub 100k right around the corner go for it DD Speed shop 🚗🚘 ya!!!

You must really love that nomad, you treating her all special and all. She's your secret lover, I think Danni is getting suspicious.

Coming along great, we’re going to love this when it’s done. At some point you’re going to have to decide which one has to go now that you have 6 Tri-Fives.

Talented mechanic

I saw a video of French Lake Auto Parts. They got a bunch of Tri 5s. saw some wagons with lots of trim.

BRILLIANT,once again mate,I learnt something,was entertained,and you see the progression,you don't talk the job in,there's nothing worse than the genius who'll tell you how what your doings wrong,and you shouldn't be doing it like that,when you finish your project and they ask for a hand doing theres...Sometimes you just need a bigger hammer..

Looking good man!

Really nice work on that oil pan. You hicks up there in the frozen north do some fine work. you have one of my favorite channels

Hell yeah that's my favorite part sounds.

Hey Dan Awesome as always🙂 Bamboozled into brakes...haha😅 Take care of Yourselves😁 Edit: I remember your adjustment to another oil pan.

Looking good man....

Nice job! I had to do the same modification to the oil pan on my big block '55 Chevy Bel Air HT. Depending on your cam and engine vacuum, you may need a remote vacuum can or pump to generate enough boost for the power brakes. I mounted my remote vacuum can on the drivers side cowl side hidden between the fender and cowl. My cam was pretty radical though. Can't wait to hear that beast run. Keep up the good work.

Great video 👍🏻

Good deal getting there Very cool
