Don't ask, just do. Make it a 10 part video series. Also, you could easily find some axles and change those out since it's leaf springs.
The TFL guys don't have enough technical knowledge to do a 10 part video series. I mean they couldn't explain enough of the details to fill 10 videos. They barely got through a carburetor removal and cleaning on the old/new Honda.
Yes but David can.
@@is6566 What? This Cold War Era Soviet Tin Can made out of rusted borscht cans doesn't have the torsional rigidity to handle 150 lb.ft. let alone +400 lb. ft. of an LS V8. The original drive train was designed for 75 HP.
This would be stupider than buying a Cybertruck.
@@jimjones-pz1ttdidn’t the Big Green engine swap they did about 8 years ago have about that many episodes?
@@jimjones-pz1ttBox. The. Frame.
I would watch a video series on LS swapping your buhanka.
Sounds weird.🥴
Anything with David and Andre I will watch! 5-10 episodes would be awesome
David is the hidden gem for TFL. Glad to see him back in videos.
Please 🙏
Buhanka series would be so awesome!!!
Plus Andre would get to drive it when it’s done
LS swap? My two favorite TFL hosts/characters? Weird and rare Soviet van? ABSOLUTELY YES! I'd watch every video of the series! I could always use more TFL content anyway! Hope you guys go for it.
Do it! LS swap that baby! Then Andre must do at least 1 burnout at TFL office :)
Absolutely, love watching David and Andre.
I will watch as many as it takes. Anything with David is worth watching
I’d totally watch a series on this. I don’t know anything about cars, but stuff like this is still fascinating.
My lord I would love to see a TFL video like this. Off-road vans are spectacular. As far as functionality goes they make way more sense then pickup truck. Everything is covered and weatherproof from the get go, and lighter weight then a pickup.
I would watch all videos you make on this. Go for it.
Yes!!! I love the Russian “loaf” van and I would love to see a motor swap. LS would be fine, because parts are plentiful and easy to come by. Yes a Cummins would be more interesting, but probably more complicated and too much power. Please do this swap!
That's why it needs a 4bt
They do make a Cummins 4bte.
Frame off conversation with new custom frame, engine, transmission, suspension, etc just saving the body.
Yes. Absolutely do it! That would be so unique and cool.
I’ve been waiting to see both the Buhanka and David. Hell yeah do it! Any American V8 would be cool!
Yes, more Buhanka please! Anything Dave is involved you know is going to be epic!
I watch Sarah n Tuned on a regular basis. She does builds in real time, and documents everything, body work, wiring, engine work, etc. I never miss an episode. I'd love to see the Buhanka upgrade.
Sarah's attention to detail is amazing.
Yes, all new drive line, including axles and brakes. That way you can source parts here in the US and do maintenance yourself. You'd have to tilt the rear axle pinion to get the driveshaft angle right, which is fine since you need custom perches anyway.
I was thinking their best option would be to body swap it onto something else! I think the possible issues they'd face would be a lot less and the end gain would be so much more.
Well yah……of course
Absolutely please do this any video that adds David to the mix we're all for it
Definitely need a multi-part series on that build. I want to see UAZ burnouts. 😂
This would be the best series ever.
I would love to see a LS swap video series on the Buhanka... such a cool van!!!!
I would watch all of the videos on LS swapping the Buhanka.
The more videos the better. I like the sound of the 10 part series.
As someone else mentioned, if you are swapping in a LS, do axles and bigger brakes too
I’d watch from beginning to end, no matter how many videos.
I would watch an engine swap series, even if you installed an American four cylinder engine.
Yes for a build series!!!!!
Yes please do this it would be awesome I think a 5 episode series would be good
Heck yeah, I would watch them all. If I was closer I would volunteer to help.
I think this would be a cool series of videos and I would love to watch them. Cool project!
if it's possible. i say go for it. i love watching any project David is working on and i think a lot of tfl fans enjoy any video David is in and what he's up to next, but curious how you're going to make everything fit.
I would like to see a series on this vehicle!
Totally 💯
5-part series should cover it.
Do it!! I'd watch a full season :)
I say go for it. I find it very entertaining to watch builds like this. Between Fab Rats, Matts Off-road, and others do it might as well do axles and suspension to. I'm sure you could get some decent partners for parts. Very exciting.
Yay an update on the Buhanka!!
put a GM 4.3 Liter V6 EcoTec3 LV3 in there or a chevy older 4.3 or honda k24.
Yes!! If that is a real option, whole heartedly YES!! Put a V8 and westernize that beast!!
I would watch a series and then see andre finally using it
"I feel like I have an LS in my heart" ❤😅
You've got the engine, the van and the ability. Do it. I would watch it the whole way through. Just keep it a manual.
Another thing good about classic vehicle stuff is that 5 years from now I would watch it again.
You're gun-smoke series was the best series you've ever made. Thanks.
Definitely do it. I would watch the series for sure!
I would definitely watch a Buhanka LS swap! Let’s get that thing rollin
I would love to see y'all turn this into an overlanding/offroading beast!
Of course.... Your only and best choice, videos aside, is the LS SWAP. You need to register it and be able to use it. Make a badass overland rig with all the goodies. With an LS, it'll be awesome.
The other option is to throw a cover over it and . . . then . . . WHAT?
Let's go!!!!!
The videos produced by this will be far superior to anything put out with the cyber truck. Build it !
Oh yes, I would watch all of the videos for this. I say go for it!
The question really comes down to how much do you love it and want to keep it Andre. If it's something you really want to keep and hang onto for a long time, do it.
I would absolutely watch this video series. It would be cool! Plus you're making this vehicle way more reliable as well. It would be the bread truck that really hauls the mail! 😂
I see some people here saying swap in a Cummins or something of that nature. You're missing the point. They got this 4.8 for free. Plus, while a Cummins is reliable, they are super heavy! Not ideal for this truck. Even a baby 4BT is still heavy. Plus getting it to 70 would be a bit of a challenge. The 4.8 would be more than enough.
I feel like that analogy of Andre comparing himself to an LS swapped Buhanka is so on point. From Russia but he has the heart of a true American.
Do it! I’d watch them all.
How to Americanise a Soviet era icon. It sounds like an excellent idea and ultimately expensive in time and fabrication. But I like seeing David in action. He's a pragmatist because he reduces waste, reuses and recycles what he has onhand. I'd watch the entire series which maybe ten or more videos. Maybe find a sponsor or sponsors for the entire series. Good luck!
Do it! This would be a perfect project for this van!
That would be a great series.
I watch build series that last 6 months. Love it! Make it a true overland beast!
Yes!! would love to see it updated!!
With a small diesel 5 spd manual
I would watch all the videos on a engine/ trans swap......Great project!
Do it fellas! An LS swapped Russian van is so American, memorial day weekend no less. 5 videos at least released on Saturdays. Or a Patreon exclusive.
I would watch every video, maybe even twice!
Sounds awesome! Maybe 5 videos of 20 min each of content would be good!
The question is not, would someone watch it? Because, "if you post it, they will watch it". The question comes down to how much $$$$$ and time do you want to dump on this? And IF you start it, will you actually finish the project? Cannot remember all the videos that never had a conclusion. The presenters here are easy to watch. The project is like art, everyone will have a different view on it. I don't particularly find this idea grand. Even though it would take more than a grand to cover the costs. "Classics" that are "restored" and or brought back to life to run the way they were meant to, that is more interesting to me than conversions. This van was never supposed to be a highway runner.(apparently) Just a local run about. Workers van. Do as you will. Seems like most people in the comments support just about anything you do tho. :)
i mean a free engine is already saving money.
Great idea! 5 videos - perfect
Going to be a lot of work but I would watch as many episodes as you make
Do It!!!!! Better than Cybertruck videos.
I feel like I am going to learn something. Half the parts David mentioned I've heard of but couldn't tell you where they are on a vehicle. This is going to be awesome!
Do it !!! It'll be great to watch David work his magic at Happy Yak Ranch !!!
If you are putting in an LS, why not upgrade the axles too? I'm certain David knows where you could buy two used axles. Looking forward to the series.
Don't just swap the engine. Swap the entire driveline, axles, brakes, etc. from a GMC in to that thing. THAT would be freakin' epic! I'd love to watch that series. DO IT! I'd watch weekly updates on this for as long at it takes. ANd, once done, I'd wanna see it back on the trails!
It would be a very interesting build. We would like to watch the series.
Do it! I love the Buhanka! It's good to see David again!
I would definitely watch as many videos as you’d put into an LS swapped buhanka series. It would definitely be entertaining. The extreme overland buhanka! 👍
Yes please, if you make it we will watch it! Boohanka rocks and so does Andre and David!!
To see you two work together and create this id watch every video start to finish,. That's a promise!
Hmm. Reminds me of a Land Rover Forward Control 101. Could be worth looking at how they solved the design constraints?
Yes - do one with the LSA style intake blower like a magnuson or whipple. Something with a lot of torque and around 600-700 horsepower but still very streetable and good offroad.
thats probably too much power. the stock power of a 4.8 slightly turned up is probably fine.
That would be a very neat video series!
I’d watch this series. Especially with David’s know how and personality and Andre’s personal relationship to the van.
Hell yeah, 8 to 10 part series! This would be great
I would love to see a project like this. Would also like to see the problems that arise how you overcome them. I think you could make at least 10 different videos of this project. Need to use complete GM drive line from engine to transmission to transfer case and custom drive shafts. Swap out the axles.
that is a series I would watch
I would watch the series for sure. I’m looking forward! 😊
I know you have a free LS but if you can't get it to fit, try doing a K swap. You should do the videos, lots of people will watch, CZcams watchers love engine swaps.
K swap would be interesting if they can't get the 4.8 to fit.
I would watch every video you post on it. I love the 4.8l 2000 Silverado had one and I put 487,000+ miles on it and it was still running when I sold it. Original 4L 60 made it that far before it lost third gear replace fuel pump three times tho
Super!
I would definitely watch a series on LS swapping the Buhanka
I think five videos would be a good number, possibly up to seven. I do really hope Andre gets to enjoy his Buhanka.
Yes do as many videos as you can on it!
Yes, do it!
I'd love to watch David doing and engine and transmission swap in the Buhanka.
I would watch every video especially if it is a detailed series. Show everything step by step
I would watch that series.
Love the idea! Surprised it hadn’t been done already.
Really sounds like fun! ! 5+ episodes "Please"
Please, please, please do this!!!
The World’s Most Bad Ass Buhanka!!!
Well worth some time to watch.
Please do the LS swap. Would definitely watch that.
I'd definitely want to watch this series!
Yes please do it, I can't wait to watch the series already.
Dude! LS swap that thing!! I’d watch every video! I love seeing David’s craftsmanship!
I would watch all of them.
I'm in. I have a small request to go with it. I'd like to see graphics on the truck. A wrap if it's easier, that is in the spirit of the 70's panel vans with wizards/warriors and album covers etc, but updated for the era this van was around in. Circa 1990. Imagine the possibilities.
👍👍🔥🔥Yes 8-10 parter
