My '65 had the 152cid slant four which put out a whopping 87hp. Got it up to 60mph once or twice. That engine was screaming. She preferred to stay under 40mph.
I have a 69 with an ISUZU 4bd1T and a T-19 with Dana 300 and axles out of a Scout II. I painted it 19 years ago and have been driving it ever since. It is by far my favorite vehicle to drive. To this day I still pull a chair up in my garage and just look at it. I've wanted one of these for as long as I can remember. I built models of these when I was kid. I'm 51 now. That R2.8 platform looks real nice. The 4bd1T is a BIG engine just like the Cummins 4BD. The R2.8 looks like an easier fit. I had a Nissan FD35T in it and it fit a little better and was a nice package but it was a junk yard engine and had a bad head. Could not find a replacement or a good used head so it had to go.
What do you guys do with the original drive trains you pull out? I've got a 65 scout 80. Looking for t90 trans and Dana 18 transfer case. Was running and driving but had to flat tow it home. Thing I fried transfer case and clutch is no bueno.
I'm 6'2" and my scout 800 is a little tight. Mostly I'm looking out the very top of the window. At 6'5" you would have to lower the seat but then your legs will be bunched up. A scout 2 would be better suited for you.
Would the sheet metal work be reduced our not needed in a scout 800 with an original v8? I know the scout 80 with a 4 cylinder had the radiator pushed back and I'm assuming you had to push it forward like the v8's came stock.
hmm chinese made diesel shipped to US will stick with b series even though the NVH is worse but parts can find at any corner store autoparts.. These parts hard to find if something happens
You have no idea. Going on 2 1/2 years for a failed ECU in my Dodge with a 5.9 Cummins. Had a p-pump swap done ($$$$) but since the USPS lost my original ECU I have no gauges anymore. Cummins was no help at all, that one's a proprietary Dodge Bend-me-Over part (of course) and even they didn't have a replacement. As good as Cummins engines are, never another.
I'll be going with the R2.8 in my scout ii
Sweet rig and good job Kyle!
Nice scout , I have the same one with 16000 original miles .
Who needs an R2.8 when you have an SD-33T, 101HP and 175 ft lbs of torque. That monster propels my Scout from 0 to 60 in about 20 seconds.
0-60 Eventfully
In mine it takes about 20 miles to get to 50 and that's with 410 gears

It only takes mine 3 gallons of gas and a quart of oil - and a flat or downhill grade. And nerves of steel. But other than that...
Wish you would have given us a taste of the sweet sound of diesel in the beauty!
Sweet sweet turbo diesel. Next time.
Absolutely love the R2.8 in a 80/800.

getting ready to do this swap in a 800 with a v-8 and t18. will the trans keep its stock location ?

Curious I’m 6’5” 270 will I fit in a Scout 800?
not comfortably.
@@anythingscout that stinks!

How much time/$$$ roughly for your company to replicate this exact build?
They list their prices at around 45k for a drivetrain upgrade with no body work
Any chance you all will make a kit for this like the LS kits?
Hopefully for the Scout II, but probably not for the Scout 80. These a lot of custom work involved in this build.
Would the sheet metal work be reduced our not needed in a scout 800 with an original v8?
I know the scout 80 with a 4 cylinder had the radiator pushed back and I'm assuming you had to push it forward like the v8's came stock.
Yep that's correct. The V8 800 is a heck of a lot easier but there is still a little bit of work for intercooler mounting.
What mpg?
Nice like very much👍
Let’s hear her roar!!
How do I contact you guys about doing one of these swaps for me? I have a 62…. Thanks
Shoot an email to parts@anythingscout.com
Mine is exactly like this except it's red and white...it's all original 64 .. trying to find a person who can switch out engine here in Alabama
Yes. We didnt' hear it roar.."
Clatter. It IS a Cummins.
hmm chinese made diesel shipped to US will stick with b series even though the NVH is worse but parts can find at any corner store autoparts.. These parts hard to find if something happens
Going with the 4BT myself.... Bullet proof... Have a 6BT in my Terra for the last 20 years.
