Interior looks like absolutely NEW!!

don't care, not made for you, made for potential buyers spending a pile of money on a very nice original car. Who romps one of these cars, let alone for non buyers on youtube.

@@russfoust8718 point taken. I see where you are coming from.

I almost agree with you. C2s are THE best. They are what Corvettes SHOULD be. But, the C3 is my runner up. Or, let me be more specific. The 1968 - 1972 C3s. After '72, they do nothing for me. But yeah. If God came down with a brand new 1967 and a brand new 1970 Vette and said I could have my pick, but I can't have both, I'm taking the '67.

i think i am too broke

i sold it :(

ahhhh, you're one of those that believes that because you have an opinion, others should care. I don't care what you think.

@@russfoust8718 I don’t care , I don’t care what people think, I don’t care what you personally think. Just made a statement… But we both know it sounds like 💩 Engine is awesome, but the straight pipe sounds like a fat woman farting in a tunnel. Do you feel as stupid as your straight pipe now. (🍆)

Amazing! Did you also fight in the Civil War back then?

Thanks for the unsolicited advice coming from a person who has never driven an R2.8 in a Scout Traveler. At no point was I at anywhere near “high RPMS”, never above 2500 R’s even though the cummins rep says these motors love Revs. This isn’t a 5.9, there are bigger gaps between gears on this trans than I’d prefer if I was designing it but I wanted a wide ratio for the low first while maintaining a hood overdrive. If I don’t get up the revs it loses its ass.

@@russfoust8718 Great answer. Now it makes sense to me why most of the videos of the R2.8 swap that I’ve watch, the owners rev up the engine. You are correct, I have never been in the driver’s seat of any of these swaps, but I have been around diesels for most of my life, and I right now own a small 1.6Hdi Peugeot. I want to build a light-overland vehicle but had a question whether to buy an old vehicle and swap to a R2.8; or go the expensive way, buy a Toyota/Mitsubishi pick up (diesel) and forget about the mods. Your answer shade the correct light on my question. Thank you! Happy Trails!

Above 70 is 2300+ RPMS, has plenty of power but it’s not snappy. Maintains speed in Colorado on the highway if that tells you anything

I’ve had it rev’d past 4600 and I’ve had it over 85 but generally keep it around 2000-2300 and 60-72 mph

3A 1.4 G 13 is the one thinking on swapping to my 1988 Suzuki samurai. Any thoughts?

@@1rodnumero It'd be an awesome swap and plenty of power for such a small package, just not sure if/how it would fit. It's as large as a 345 International V8 but considerably lighter. It fills the engine bay in the Scout

I love everything about it. Horsepower is sufficient, torque is fantastic. Wouldn't mind an aftermarket tune to bump it up to 400 ft/lb but this will do for now. I'm not using any gauges other than the murphy gauge that came with the engine. I'm working with a buddy to create a screen that monitors all of the metrics I care about(oil pressure, coolant temp, IAT, MAF, boost).

@@russfoust8718 400 ft sounds great..!!! I’m working on a diesel swap in one of my cars I was thinking to buy the 2.8 Cummins but at the end I chose the tdi 1.9 vw it’s making around 180 and close to 400 torque.. for the gauges I’m going to use a OBD gauge cluster they show rpm gps speed egt mpg temperature boost oil temperature and a lot more information.. they are around 120 dollars.. it was hard to choose a engine but to be honest I think the 2.8 sounds a little more like a diesel lol…

Thanks, I have a tendency to agree

The 2.8 would certainly be a lot easier in that application. Cummins designed this swap to be pretty dang easy being a package. Just would need to make up motor mounts
