Glad you enjoyed it

As soon as that engine was released, it was a swap I wanted. It's a bit of a "when I when the lottery" thing

Sweet build, been waiting for this video since I saw the Cummins motor video. Very cool and got a lot of great ideas from this build. Great job!

Love everything scout! Thanks for sharing!

That's cool

Crazy such a simpler time

I would like one of these in my 1954 IH R110 pickup truck, with the 5 speed trans, rather an auto transmission if it could work. My truck is in excellent condition, it had a frame off restoration a few years ago.

I can empathize with the driver situation. Heck it doesn’t even need to be a custom truck. My boring daily GMC beater this past week I’ve had to dodge two cars a day. 😱 texters ragers and cagers,,, it’s life. Nice to see a Scout with a logical engine swap and not jacked to the moon. Nice work.

What exactly is "logical" about pulling a time-proven, although underpowered, engine that's as simple as they get, and replacing it with an overpriced and overcomplicated diesel?

What about a 1973 Ford Bronco cost to swap like that?

I miss my 66 800

I have always noticed the conversion of Jeeps to the 2.8 swap and thought about converting my 1941 Dodge WC12 which would also require Dana axles and transmission. Is this the type of project that you would consider taking on?

How has the engine Held up. Any issues with blow-by or smoke out the exhaust caused by bad rings. These Cummins come in light commercial vehicles in Mexico and I’m looking to buy a New mini bus with this engine but have heard of some issues. Have any of your colleagues or other R2.8 uses encountered any issues thanks. 👍 nice build

As far as I know everything is fine. Customer is putting miles on it regularly. I have heard of a hand full of issues with the engines and honestly I am pretty sure they are considered throw aways.

⁠I haven’t broken the motor down to find what actually failed inside. It hurts my stomach to even look at it right now

Who makes the gauge clusters? Are the dash instruments connected to the sensors via can buss? Thanks in advance. Best,

350tq & 150hp? I dunno if I could spend that swap $. The 304 (greatest engine ever made) has Nearly the same specs?…Actually, it has More hp. With some bolt-on’s prolly can get damn close tq. For better fuel economy? Resale value? I dunno. I couldn’t do it.

Only do this swap if you want something to brag about and not drive. My R2.8 failed with only 14k miles on it. Cummins doesn’t give a shit, they only want your money.

I hate to hear that you had an issue. I do know of at least one other failure however it was resolved under warranty. That being said I think that there are plenty other swaps that have survived long term use and abuse. Time will definitely tell though.

I've never seen a long term review on that engine but have seen a bunch where mechanics were Leary of it. Sorry about your luck
