Easier to drop both the subframes then transfer the motor/trans to the good one and reinstall the good one... It's kinda a PITA to pull it from the top. Rebolt the empty sub in to be able to move it. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!!!

I watch a lot of KZfaq channels. You are by far the realest, hardest working, most honest, truthful, humble person out there. You have a lot to be proud of. May God bless you in your new home.

Man Randy your a good dude man your talk at the end really registered to me!! You are honest just a good person all around!!!

Drop the subframe out of the other one and bolt the engine to it and then remount the subframe.

Get that white truck running enough so you can pull that nice new trailer away from the front and down along side of your building...the way that trailer is sitting its almost like you are advertising it FOR STEAL!!!

Need eye and hand protection (13:47). You do not want to have to rename your channel the CYCLOPS or the CAPTAIN HOOK channel. Foot protection too.

For the longest time I felt you were just doing this just for the sake of putting out videos and making money from them, but after listening to the end of this video it's clear I misjudged you, I can see now that the hustle is not born from greed but by the great desire to just do better. Keep pushing Randy, great respect for sharing your life story . Love from Barbados.

Hey Randy! There are 3 mounts that hold that package into the car. 1 on the Driver's side on top of the transmission. 1 on the bottom of the transmission (you showed this in your video) and one of the passenger side under the coolant recovery tank. You will also need to pull both CV shafts and those front lower subframe arms. The ECU also has a harness that stays attached to the car so you will have to disconnect that as well. Getting the driver's CV out (for me) was fun, but you have a lift so it should be much easier. This engine/transmission package is really designed to come out from the bottom. On my parts car, I pulled from the top and it was miserable. The way I ended up getting it out was to jack up the body of the car, use my front end loader and chain up the engine and transmission and drop it down. I did not pull the subframe as I needed the car to still roll to get it out of my shop. Since you have a lift, this engine and transmission should be a piece of cake to drop. Good luck! *EDIT* - There are also 2 fuel lines on the passenger side of the car, by the strut tower that you will need to disconnect. The lines for the heater core are on the middle/driver's side and those will need to be disconnected as well prior to removal. These are a little difficult to get to if, like me, you have big hands! lol.

​i finding it funny that he went the hard way of getting the hood open

:X hand protection you crazy man.

Very inspiring Randy, thank for you such great content. By far my favorite channel.

can you park the cars in the rear?

congratulations on the new house, you deserve the best Randy. you're such an honest and good person. hope you 'll be able tackle all that hassle soon.

Hi Randy - This is a great 5-STAR fantastic, interesting, captivating, all-around wonderful video. You have your GROVE back buddy! Just the right length - you began with an update concerning Del City, the cars, your shop, the property, your landlord, etc. You then worked on the Dodge Dart. You finished with some personal items about your new house, your life, etc. The only way it could have been better is if you had worn those gloves on the shelf. This is exactly the type of video that will get you to 200,000 subscribers. That reminds me, I don’t remember you mentioning reaching the 150,000 subscriber milestone. Congratulations on everything - and keep up the good work. Jim in Florida

Randy it’s really hard to fathom how a person with your life history becomes such an honest one. And sober. Hats off to you.... Keep up the good work.....

Keep the content Randy! Love it!

You always keep it real with your viewers and to hell with those who don't have your back. Keep on keepin' on.

Congrats on the new house

Nailed it, your sentiment is perfect.

Glad things are getting better for you and your family and keep up the good work

I love you Randy and your honesty! You’re a real person, nothing phony about you! I’m very happy for you, CONGRATULATIONS!🍾🎊🎈🎉 Joanne

Congrats, things are looking up for you!

You're an amazing person Randy, thank you for the inspiration!

This video made my day! Old skool Rebuild!

I absolutely love your content! Keep up the great work Randy!!!

i am a chemist from iran but i always watch your videos. right now i am trying to build a lab and i understand how you fell because we are kind of similar in our past. keep up your nice work. best wishes

Congrats on the new house, saw it on Instagram. I’d drop the subframe on the blue one and then swap the motor to the other subframe. Either way, can’t wait.

Happy for you Randy. The American Dream. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Loved this video. Good man Randy!

Gotta love the raw, primitive hood and panel removal! Randy, mad respect. You are the king of carnage and chaos, but you keep going. Congrats on the new house. 100% behind you. Thanks for being so open about your past....been there.

Congratulations on new home! Our lives are very similar as far as where we came from. Keep up the great work dude!

Randy. You are a good dude. So honest. Love your work. Hard work pays off. You do awesome work on cars.

Congrats on the new house!!!!!!!! It looks almost like mine!

God bless u man...take care.

Randy, it is nice and brings us all closer when you share your past. Something is rough I think for all of us 'in our own way' with lots being self induced. HOWEVER, HOWEVER, HOWEVER.... Glad you did share as it makes me/us appreciate all the hard work you do and the sweat you shed which makes you a real person with the guts to try anything for the good that may come out of it. That's HUGE, good buddy and helps so many other people along with the inspiration it provides. You get cut and we feel it too. I think you should talk about your past occasionally but the emphasis needs to always be going FORWARD because you have so much to offer.. Tell you this also, you and I share something being, don't tell me NO (NOT in our vocabulary). I may have to do a lot of work to get it done but I will get it done and I want it done NOW! And never tell me no. I watch you and it's seeing me in a mirror. GOD bless. Sonny (CT) PS: Randy - the new trailer. Put a WINCH from Harb Frt on the end the tongue is on so you can pull that occasional car up for non starters or breakdowns.

I like the way you do all buy the cars and fix it!! Keep doing it !!!!

It doesn't matter where you are, but where you are going. Nine years ago I was a broke security guard. Now I make six figures and don't feel like I deserve it. All it took was changing the people around me. I'm glad for the people who are around me now telling me what is possible, and not telling me to accept my lot in life. Keep bringing the content.

The outro is on point sir

Anyone else see all he had to do was unbolt those bolts from the hole on the hood instead of what he did 🤦‍♂️

hats off to u sir hope u grow more

I think its great that things are going your way I will always keep watching your channel

Randy love the honesty in your videos and keep up the awesome work 👍👍👍👍

Love this channel. Randy u rock

Damn Randy - thanks for the kind words and positive vibes. Only 40?? Damn bro, I am 49 and paid cash for a house 12 years ago. It was during the recession so strike when the opportunity arises.

This is great content looking forward to the final rebuild !!

Great Video! Much respect sir.

Keep the good work up randy

I am very happy for you Randy. God luck to the new house.

Top job on the new pad very entertaining and enjoyable video nice to see are back on track 👍😊

Good on you brotha. I have the same background as you. When you get your mind right you come up. If you dont come up you arent really trying. You right though you do appreciate what you work hard for and what you get. Keep up on the hard work. You're doing great man.

Nice build Randy

@Randy Keeping everything aside RESPECT to you and where you're today... keep rocking 👍

u may have been brought up in a trailer park but you got 154 thousand friends

Good video thanks for the updates! Btw it was easy to figure out where the house is nice place. Damn prices are great in America compared to Australia that would be $550,000.

No gloves or safety glasses 🤦🏼‍♂️

I owned a shop in Michigan for 40 yrs. and scrapped and reassembled cars ---TIP: save all bolts and clips and undamaged parts and put all the damaged parts way out of the way! Don't leave one good screw on the pulled junk (That hardware pile will save your butt on future cars!) The good spare parts removed put out of the way if they aren't going on this car! Salvage everthing the Wiper blades to shift knob and little relays and switches They are valuable on future fixes or you can trade parts (Let Weird Beard see the stash you will create) Good luck Randy REMEMBER to save all parts from that parts car!

I know I'm probably to late Randy, but read the HOA's rules and bylaws very careful. Most suck. I got caught up in that mess. They didn't even allow plastic blow mold light up Christmas decorations, No flags outside, "even USA". We put a extra bag of trash on top of "their" required can on the same morning as trash pick up and got a notice !

I would have just unbolted the hood latch once you cut the skin. But that just me.

Nice Video Mate!

godbless you sir wish you well and new home and all hard work pays off and wee will always hit brick walls on ocassions but theres always ways to get over the wall , take care

Gidday, you are the hardest working youtuber out there. Your building is crying to have a drive through out the rear. You get a lot of house for your money in your area. Your new house costs $230k AU. That would buy the land only in most places in Australia.

Keep on keep N on...you got heart man😎

I wish we were closer to one another because I'm disabled and retired with a lot of time on my hands and everything you're doing would just be a bigger learning experience for me and it would be free labor. LOL

Congrats on the house bro I hope you and your wife have a great future and I hope you having this house you can make more content and make your videos just that much better because your videos are dope

Wtg Randy and congrats on move!!! And shop

Good stuff.

Wow, Randy, you got a good deal on your house. That's a $500K house in Austin, TX. I know you're leasing, not buying but that's a big step up from your current location. Thanks for sharing your story about your background. God bless you and I hope you have great success in your life.

Your a good man randy

Good Luck on the new place.

Cut the cv joints with the sawsall so the wheels stay on to move the car and remove the bar in the front connected to the subframe will give you more room. Good work man. 👍

I am 4:00 in and you just started cutting the hood latch on wow that must be so satisfying!

working in a body shop, we would have one guy pull the hood latch and another guy pry the hood up to pop it. All of 5 minutes

Congratulation Randy For new house

WOW nice of your land lord allowing you to move cars to his place. Safety first there, ear plugs and gloves. You still could drop the whole sub frame remove the engine from the sub frame and then put the sub frame back in. Hey I grew up in several trailer parks. My father did not cheat but it was always greener on the other side of the hill so we were always looking for the other side of the hill.

gratz of the new house man!

Randy ... I am new to your channel. Good stuff. Keep it up! Peace ✌️

Savage for yanking on that cut hood with bare hands. Props

Randy, please words of advice (KZfaq comments privilege lol) 1. Eye protection! Those thousands of pretty orange sparks are molten steel. Not eyeball compatible. 2. Gloves good idea (you already noticed why!) 3. Ear protection, especially with grinder 4. Don't push so hard on the grinder, let the disc do the work. 5. Those hose clips have a small hole on the clip you put a small screwdriver in, bend it back slightly and it'll pop right off! Good luck with everything though, done plenty of engine replacements over the years, and no longer want to do any more :-)

2-pack of gloves at Costco +20.00 = priceless!

iac valve-idle air control valve is simple! Most of the time you can simply remove it, & clean it with brake clean, carb clean, wd-40, etc,,, & allow to dry b4 reinstallation! or replace it & vwalla!!! It attached to the intake & it controls air flow at an idle ( a lot of times if iac is clogged, vehicle will stall/ wont want to idle. Clean it out & clean the throttle body & maf sensor- mass air flow sensor, possibly do a reset on ecu & vwalla. Hope I have helped you Randy!!!

congrats randy
