Bottle jacks are like swiss army knives, at the shop they are f....g helpful! Can't stop having so much of them around.

Thanks Dude! Years of comming up here in SS made made take a deep breath and dive into this project! Thanks too you all!

Thanks so much for your kind words and support! Yep, I just went with Scania engine cause its cheaper and easier to find spare parts for it. YAZ isn't completely shot down but here no parts for it anyway. The tires are going to stay until I can afford new ones. Here some more pics, just have...

Thanks Ahab! Yes, they are bolted to the engine block, 4 bolts per side. Motor mounts were made by using 1/2" x 3" and 1/2" x 4" flat stock. Bolts are M12x1,5.

Yep, ex-USSR trucks are crude and beautiful in a such way, easy to repair and maintain. After getting the truck rolling, going to deal with the front axle shafts.

Thanks everyone for the nice words all the time, for the tips and for the friendship! Got the motor mounts done this weekend! Now, there is a transmission mount to be made and then the powertrain is set.

Hey Ahab, good to see you around my build! Yep, at a slow pace but coming along, like a Sherman searching for a Tiger! I'm dealing with the engine swap and started to deal with the cooling and the steering (gonna need to use full hydro steering, the original one must go, no space left). What...

Hi all! Some progress on the swap! The Scania engine was mated to the Scania 5 speed transmission, the coupling shaft was modified to accept the Kraz t-case. Started on making the motor mounts to the engine/tranny combo now.

Nice! Let us know when you are ready to post them! Keep on working!

Can´t wait to see Plan B!

Wrench, got some pics of your build? Can I follow it on some tread?

Ahab, what was made of your nice truck? Man, it's a **** of rig, well planned and built, liked it a lot!

Hi Fellows! So, "Oscar" got a new transmission, 5 speed, ratios close to the original Kraz transmission. It´s a G776 Scania tranny. We mated it to the 112H Scania engine to check fit and now they go into the Kraz again, in order to take some measurements and then some fabrication is on the way...

Thanks a lot for the encouragement and kind words! Here are few more old Yaz 206 pics as you've requested:

I Agree! Sanity & Insanity....all depends on what's the point of view...

Wrench Let me know if you wish some more detailed pics of the Old YAZ206 engine, I can get them for you if you will.

I think your definition of knowing nothing about everything was just the best! Hands down! This our hobbie, Olive Green/Desert Sand is a great place to make this process you described well above go on and on and on! Thanks a lot to the military stuff! Here at the SS I make real friends...

It came without the pontoon (unfortunately).

It's a Pontoon launcher

As we grow older and get older too, the amount of trouble we get into grows up too![thumbzup] I thank you for the encouragement all the time! I am a teacher at a professional school (mechanics, hydraulics, pneumatics and welding) and also use to take some Trail Jeep projects buildups from...
