I used to have a magazine from 1979 that was either car&driver or motor trend, cant remember which one but it had a big article on the scout diesel, the chevy truck with the infamous 5.7 diesel and a dodge truck with an inline nissan diesel. (very few people know that dodge had a diesel truck in the late seventies) None of them at the time had a turbo, the scout and especially the dodge were extremely underpowered.
I knew someone that had an 81 scout with a turbo, pretty neat little truck. I also remember international offering a 100,000 mile warranty on the scout turbo diesel engine in another magazine I had from 1981. If I'm correct, 81 was the last year for the scout.

Actually, Scout production ended in October 1980....and, I believe that even those were sold as 1980 model year vehicles. My old Scout II was built on September 1980 and was titled as a 1980 model vehicle. BTW, even the turbo SD-33 was underpowered

Also, I thought that the Dodge trucks had Mitsubishi diesels? It's a bit ironic that they DIDN'T use the Nissan diesel, because the SD-33 was a joint-venture between Nissan and Chrysler...

You are right, I just found a story about it, it was a mitsu.

 

[6.9poweredscout]

yes, '80 was the last year and MOST of the scouts were Turbo SD33T 4 spd 4x4.... it was VERY sluggish, pulling out on a hill was a TASK! only at about 55 mph crusing was it OK with a little boost built up. ....can't wait to have that 6.9L and ALMOST get the same milage!! *evil laugh* ;p

Try going up that hill while towing a Chrysler LeBaron on a U-Haul dolly...1300 degrees POST-TURBO EGT for 5 minutes with the pedal to the rust in 2nd gear going 25 miles per hour = bad thing who'd have thunk it?

I don't see a turbocharger

Seriously, looks like an awsome project and that thing will have more torque than anybodies business.

they're sitting on the shelf where they make em! i'm goin N/A for the summer so i can use it! funds don't allow for the turbos YET, but once i get it going come winter i'll have a few months to work on it!


and towing a car with a diesel scout?! seesh, i was afraid to drive it if i had 2 people in the truck!

[6.9poweredscout]

painted the trans and bolted in the engine and trans in for good!

[The Warden]

Sorry if this question was asked before, but if it was, I don't remember the answer....did you use a T-19 out of a Ford, or the T-19 that was originally in the Scout with a Ford bellhousing bolted in place? Obviously you're using the Scout gearshift lever...

I never removed the transfer case from the tranny on my old Scout, so I don't even know if the transfer case/tranny bolt pattern's the same...OTOH, it looks like you're either going with a divorced transfer case or you're going 2 wheel drive?

Looking good!!! I need another Scout someday

 

[Agnem]

Looks great. No paint for the bell housing?

 

[subway]

i cant wait to get to that point.

the front of a Scout T-19 is way differant from a Ford T-19, got a couple in the garage if you want pics. the Scout input shaft is like a foot long.

i am planning on putting the Scout output shaft in my Ford case to bolt up my Jeep transfer case.
Jon any chance you got a set of wide ratio gears around?

 

[6.9poweredscout]

going divored NP205 outta a IH pickup,and the transmissions are different. the bellhousing was all scummy looking and all the cleaning i did it still looked like it had a skin disease, so i painted it aluminum . and nope no wide ratios, they'd be in my '78 already if i did!

[6.9poweredscout]

here's the twist on breather i'm using for my RDT, and the stainless throttle cable mocked up.

I have to say, that is going to be one beautiful rig when it's barreling down the road leaving two big, black streaks along the sky!

Also, that is an interesting idea on the oil fill cap...
