100%! Heaps of torque for getting off the line, reverse gear solution, shaft drive, low CoG, sequential box, sound awesome and if you got a late model one you could probably even transplant the satnav! I so want to put one in the smallest car I can squeeze it into

​@@fotogenikfilm wonder how easy it would be in my samurai, Its devoiced T case stock so really should be stupid easy to hook the driveshaft to the T case and have a far more powerful and efficient sequential sammy that can even do inclines better then the stock carbs

Contemplating a GW 1800 into my model A speedster❤

It was a fun project from start to finish.

Pace Suter actually pretty stable for what it is. Performance tires and upgraded to disc brakes helps as well as lowering the center of gravity.

​@@thecryptolayman5695 you realize by lightening the 2 lowest components in the vehicle that the center of gravity is raised, correct?

@@jacobwebb8818 not sure what I lightened, I replaced the 3 cylinder engine with a 6 cylinder, and it sits lower in the frame, replaced the tiny rear axle with a Dana 40, larger brakes and calipers off a Crown Vic, lowered the seats 2 inches,lowered the suspension 2 inches. 🤷‍♂️

@@jacobwebb8818 you can still have stainless steel rims but with better design and bigger heavier tires

@@thecryptolayman5695 lowering the weight of brake discs does not lower center of gravity. Imagine you had 500 pounds in the top and 500 pounds in the bottom that's a neutral 50:50 top to bottom weight distribution. If you make the top 500 pounds and the bottom 350 pounds, that raises the center of gravity. It's still worth the performance gain ANNYYY day obviously but that alone won't lower center of gravity

The Honda GL 1800 has electric reverse. It uses the starter to move in reverse, there is a button that engages reverse with the starter. It’s slow but works .

That, or spray it

Yes I did, 110 wasn’t a problem but it was terrifying. It was fast

Looking from the rear of the engine, the shaft spins CCW

I don’t remember off hand but it was in the proper direction, I did not have to use a reverser box. Straight from the output shat to the differential

got any sort of build diary? im somewhat local attempting about the same thing

Transmission is part of the engine, just adapted the Honda drive shaft yoke through a Jeep check 5 driveshaft and dans 44

I drove it for over 2 years daily, the guy I sold it to drives it regularly as well. No issues on the whole set up other than remembering/writing down the part numbers used for different things. Sounds like a cool project, are you posting progress anywhere?

I used one made by a trike company that fit their custom Dana 44 rear end. They had them made custom from over seas, but they can be made by cutting the spline off the stock shaft, boring the yoke of the drive shaft you want to use, make it a press fit, then weld it up. Any competent machine shop can do it.

Yes mid engine, the drive shaft is about 20” long and the engines rotation was correct with the rotation of the rear differential. I did modify a Dana 40 narrow trac Jeep axel to fit under the van, made the axels 4 lug to match the original wheel pattern and added Crown Vic brakes to it. The van had an original 7.00 and the Jeep was the same as the Honda around 3:55

WeShipit Jamaica it was just the sound the Goldwing boxer engines make.

Look up Little Snokio on KZfaq. Donut Media also did a video on it. It’s now a snow cone ice cream van at car shows in South Florida.

Falco Verkleij it was not straight forward at all, it took lots of problem solving to get everything working reliably and safely

@@thecryptolayman5695 did you have to do anything particularly weird to the transmission or perhaps stick an adaptor on a car trans?

Henry Callahan no, the 1800 Goldwing engines have a driveshaft. I converted a CJ 5 Jeep driveshaft to mate with the engine/transmission via a custom yoke made by a trike company. The stock differential would not work at 7:15 gears so I modified Dana 40 (3:55) and fitted it to the van.

​@@thecryptolayman5695holy smokes, they come with an insane gear ratio!

@@JBAutomotive794 imagine my surprise after going on my first test drive…. It was like a power wheels… top speed of like 60 in 6th gear😂

My Adventures thank you

Ricky Munoz I did the swap, it was a fun project.

michael weber I chose the Goldwing 1800 because it has an electric reverse for this heavy bikes. It’s just a shaft that engages a low gear by button and the starter turns the driveshaft. Hardest part was tracking down the wiring in the computer harness.

No this was 2 wheel drive. Original rear end was like a 7:23 gear ratio, I swapped in a 75 cj5 Jeep narrow trac rear with a 3:83 ratio which matched the Honda motorcycles original ratio.

reezdog thank you

Handel Waugh I’ve got a full write up in about 3 forums, Goldwing Docs, is one. Just google “Daihatsu Van Honda Goldwing “ it should come up in a few places.

Derek Wong yes south east coast

Joe Xl500R82 thank you

@@Gforeveryone you may want to see my other related videos, I know clicking on a channel and looking for a video is probably harder that the actual engine swap was lol.

Honda Goldwings are a drive shaft motorcycle. I used a driveshaft yoke from a Goldwing trike and connected it to a Jeep 4x4 driveshaft to the Jeep narrow track axle from a 70s cj5

@@thecryptolayman5695 that is Awesome!!! thank you very much man

Rhyan Derrick Franche-Paningasan It's the stock Goldwing transmission, it has a driveshaft

how did you work out reverse i didnt think they had a reverse gear

Gold wings use an electric reverse, it uses the starter to engage a gear to reverse.

Goldwings are 6 cylinders
