IH scout
A friend of mine wants to sell me a turbo diesel IH scout... I dont know much about the engine. I think its an Isuzu? Anyone that knows anything about this engine/vehicle combo, I would appreciate your thoughts and information. :pca1:

5 cyl nissan sd33. had different trans varying from manual to auto.(t-18 or t-19 or torqflite 727)
i ve talked to a few people with them. supposedly they get decent mileage (~upper teens). as for power could not tell you. I always wanted one with a diesel. my 78 scout 2 with a 304 was a turd for pushing 36" iroks even with 4.56 gears. i should rephrase on the street it was okay....off road a different story. |
6 cylinder nissan sd-33t engine. It was used in tug boats in the 80's. 101 hp and 176 ft-lbs of torque. It came with a manual 4 spd T-19 trans or torqueflite 727 automatic. Transfer case is a dana 300 gear driven case. It has good low end torque but not alot of top end torque. It's a really solid engine. It has a manual glow plug button to the left of the steering wheel. It takes a few cycles to start in the colder temps but once its warm it does great. Overall its a very solid and reliable drivetrain. Lemme know if you want anymore specifics.

I know a guy that had an older one with a n/a 6 cyl. It didn't have much throttle but it ran real good for a long time. He loved the truck and as far as I know he still drives it.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Any quick power adding screw turns?
|
No not really I don't even know if their strong enuf to take much more power than stock. The trucks pretty slow all around. They basically came out with the for better fuel mileage.

I wish I could get my hands on a IH Scout with a TD engine:jump::jump:...I never even knew they had 'em with that engine option:humm:
