We swap a PAZ bus engine into our G-wagen

the V8 engines can get things done like... offsetting the crankshaft rod journals, to get a longer piston stroke. like adding 1 or 2 more cylinders as an end result, 200hp becomes 250hp... 290lbft becomes 350lbft etc. weld the block deck taller and cut weld the rods longer/shorter by the crank offset etc... welding rod? E7018 sticks E8018 -> E11018... E13018 is 140ksi as a standard surface grade on modern stuff. so the 30ksi aluminum bearings go out and the 140ksi crank surface is 100% fine.

Please, do not destroy this car on funny experiments. The amount of work was just insane to make this build. I have no idea about registration and public road usage with this kind of artisanal vehicles in Russia, but you guys did an impressive job. We want to see more videos with this car properly detailed, finished and tested in every aspect.

I love watching engine swaps

I guess Garage 54 is a tuning shop? Really impressed by the port and polish

You guys did an amazing job. 👍

This is The Long Drive type shit for real. Need a bus engine in a Lada now. 😂

Modernize the engine along the road too. Electronic fuel system and all that

How can this bus engine sound like a muscle car engine lol

😱😱😱

this is awesome

I dunno, needs more diesel in it... :P

wow, garage 54 doing a real build? this is sick. i like the mechanic, natural personality

you guys are weird

🤣🤣🤣

Great job crew! Looking forward to your follow up video.

how the g-wagen engine blew up?

love it!

We actually have some engineering in this one. Great job guys!

They do not need to have a v8 engine, its not a rock bouncer, an v6 or better an inline 6 wouldn't take much to get one of them up there in torque with a v8.

"if the auto cries, so do we" I think I could work with Russians more than my fellow workers in UK.

Did I hear you say that 92 was the regular gasoline?! Thats our premium gas! Our regular gasoline is 87 octang

Import Force Gurkha from India, its based on 1st gen Mercedes G wagan, with same chasis, drive terrain and engine and do some modes on it

I want to hear what it's gonna sound like out in the wild. The shop makes the sound echo, so it's not exactly what you'll hear when driving it to the mall. I'm also curious what kind of burnout it can leave.

Video idea: fill tires with R134a and see what happens!

Just curious how Russians look back at the Soviet times, do they remember it fondly, or is it a sore subject like 1930s Germany? And do you see any similarities between the beginning of Soviet Russia and the rise of Donald trump here in america?

Did he just call OM606 engine "the weakpoint"? Haha, it's way better than the bus engine

Good job

Vlad. You have done an awesome job on the engine. Look forward to seeing it on the road😀

thats much cooler now

what's the name of the neighbours channel? I'd love to see what they are doing

Is kermit the frog narrating?

You guys should put a carburetor on there that will allow that engine to get 40 Mi to the gallon

That laser is a game changer. I can't imagine the time saved. If I get a chunk of cash I may need to get one of them.

You should cast a new aluminum intake manifold for a bigger carb

All the custom work you guys do I'm shocked you didn't make a 4 barrel carb intake manifold.

What is that laser magic wand?

How come you don't say anything about a new shop?

Great work guys.

Great episode.

If you still have a PAZ Bus, throw one and then two engines from Lada, and se how it behaves
Preferably parallel Motors

👍Обрадовался, УРАА 2-я серия, щяс Гелик зажигать будет, с Пазиковским, прокаченым движком 💪 ЖЕСТЬ 🤦 С места не стронулся и на английском 😓😿🙊🔥⚠️‼️

Definitely a solid step up in production quality and detail on this one. Good watch

Heck yea! Russian Small Block swap 🤘🤘

As an American thank you for doing a v8 right I never comment on anything but thank you

That's some GREAT WORK THERE folks! Keep it up! AMAZING!

The ultimate NATO spy vehicle, Blyatbus G511

whys the carby look tiny for that v8?
