    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.

      @jimjones-pz1tt Před měsícem +6

      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.

      This would be stupider than buying a Cybertruck.

    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.

  • @WW-wf8tu
    @WW-wf8tu Před měsícem +1

    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. :)

    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!

  • @mitchstein288
    @mitchstein288 Před měsícem

    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.

  • @teotwawki00
    @teotwawki00 Před měsícem

    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?

    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!

  • @lisam4503
    @lisam4503 Před 24 dny

    Honestly I'd look for an American vehicle with a close enough similar wheel base. The reason why I say this is it would save so much hassle and make getting repair parts so much easier!
    If it fit onto a Jeep, bronco,, blazer or Durango it opens up so many more possibilities! You know the front and rear axles can handle V-8 power! You need suspension parts, brake parts. drivetrain parts they are all more easily accessible!
    I think using the Soviet era front and rear axles etc is setting yourself up for all kinds of parts availability and failure issues.
    Body swapping it onto an American vehicle platform saves you all that hassle!
