1956 Chevy Wagon is on the chopping block. Turning the wagon into a long haul cruiser means we need to tweak the running gear. By tweak, I mean yard everything completely out and start fresh.
The 350 Chev will be replaced with a 6.0 ls. The th350 is making room for a rebuilt 700r4 and the stock rear end is being swapped for a “modern” 10 bolt.
Like every other day/project we run into a few struggles.

What a treat watching this vid on Thsnkgiving !
I'm gonna be welding a nut to my engine evener soon here so it's impact gun ready. I'll definitely be watching for pointers so I'm ready to put an LS and 4 speed into my tri-five. Any room for a turbo in there?
And you cut the lines instead of disconnecting why ?
bought a '57 one fifty 2dr wgn 283/glide in '67 for a hundred bux..popped gas and a battery in it and away we went…shoulda kept it but there was so much stuff back then like my friend who offered me his triple black '57 BelAir rag driver for 600 bux….but had no dough…had so many that are killer klassics now….
Check out on my channel. I did a video on my friends 57 Chevy wagon with an ass that he redid awesome car. I did a video on it. It’s a little ways back in my radios.
V8 and an auto tranny at full extension and raised as high as Cheech n Chong on a Saturday night over a great trash strewn floor and you're shoving it around. I was afraid for you.
GET RID of this 4 DOOR ANCHOR DAN !!! WASTE of TIME and MONEY
Bear Grills would have bitten that cable in half, don't you know anything.
So we’re putting in a new engine because the spark plug wire was broke poor little small block
Great video brother. I need to get a dif for my 62 impala. Anyone know what I can get that will work would like a 12 bolt if possible.
I remember you putting this car together last time… Mur was polishing his ass off. Haha!! Looking forward to seeing it come together "for good" this time
It was so funny listening to your voice over. It reminded me of an episode of Red Green when he narrates a project. Keep your stick on the ice, Dan!
That wagon is my favorite YouTube car!
Hello Dan
I can't believe the creeper didn't hang up on that loose end of the extension cord. Great progress though!
please pressure wash the garage floor. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am soooooooooooo happy about this!!! I wanted this to get an ls and overdrive trans from day one! Love love love this
So is this the new power tour wagon ,don't forget that A/C ,for my Girl,Love your channel, God Bless you and Danni,Good Luck My Brother,
That's a fact: Moog is sh*t, now. There was a time when Moog was a brand you could count on to be top notch like Timken. Now it is isn't even average, it is below average quality. It is just Chinese junk, now.
DD Speed Shop where we prefer motor swaps to driving and putting unnecessary miles on our cars. lol
Tri 5 wagons are cool!!!
If you ever need any parts for 55-64 Chevy drop out rears, I know J&S Gear in Huntington beach CA has new parts for them. Gears axles and bearings etc.
Are you gonna pull that thing out or you're just gonna make love to it
More engine swaps than driving sounds like the Biscayne maybe? Lol sorry had to.. luv this car man. Can't wait to see Danni roast some tires!!
Why don’t you shorten the chain on the engine hoist? It might be easier, but that doesn’t work on some hoists
The easiest way possible,seperate the engine and trans.sure more work but the lift is lighter by 200lbs,and less chance of having 600 lbs drop on the car,be safe at all times kids
