motor "set" in....

[6.9poweredscout]

nope tossed the D44 for a GMC 1 ton dana 60. (if it wasn't for a Dana's coming in everything i'd stay away from the GM stuff...) assuming you mean Scout 80 (series) from '61-'64 the scout 80 had a D27 front and rear, too small even for the 4 banger! AND TINY drums in the front. the later Scout 800 '65-'71 could have been D27 or D30 front, both still kinda too small for a 6.9, with a rear of only a D30,Tapered44, or flanged 44, all of which kinda teenie for a detuned 6.9 even! i know of a guy that put a 6.9 in a '78 Scout II with D44's front and rear and he said it snapped rear axleshafts like stale pretzels. he put a 60 in the rear, i skipped the whole way around and went straight to 1 ton D60s front and rear! i have seen 6.9's put into scout 80's but there's alot of inner fender trimming. the IH gas v-8s required some massaging from the factory to fit in a 800 series.

Thanks budget95. (funny i have a friend on the BP that's name is budget76 ;p)

Here's the manifolds with an extra coat of paint installed!

Solid motor mounts? NO rubber? You do know what's going to happen don't you?

1st pic in post 46. Can't see the frame portion of the mount, but in one of the other shots, it looks like it bolts directly to the frame.....

 

[6.9poweredscout]

seesh no, it's not solid! ;p i have a 1" rubber piece of mudflap between there, and for the trans mount, AND transfercase mount.

and yes the hose came in, looks great, i'll get a 90 degree adaptor and perfect! thanks!

[david85]

I saw that bracket too, but never saw what it mounted on hence my confusion.

 

[6.9poweredscout]

yea there's a gusseted plate on the frame, then the 1/2" thick mount on the block with 1- 5/8" bolt on each side to hold it in place! overkill? yeah, don't want it moving!

I'll be interested to hear how the mudflap works. My money says the bolts will still transfer the vibration, and you'll end up re-designing it, but for your sake I hope not.

crap if i had realized you needed 2 90* i coulda done that on both ends, would have had to clock them just right but that isn't a huge deal

 

[tractorman86]

i wish i had some money there is a scout like yours just down the road from me for sale, no where near as nice tho.

 

[6.9poweredscout]

my friend made mounts like this with gassers and it was ok, we'll see when she's fired up!

thats no problem, i thought they were both 90's or i woulda mentioned it. yea she's had alot of cosmetic surgery to look this nice! ;p she's rough underneath but she's got it where it counts!!

thanks!

Nice. Is it just me, or is that tie rod slightly bent?
