- maybe 1994
I have a 1978 Scout that I bought in 1996 with great expecations of mods. To make a long story short, Life got in the way, and it's not done.
I have a 1994 TBI 350 out of a half-ton Chevy van (bought it in 96). It has 20,000 miles on it. I have 1992 NV4500, Lakewood scattershield, and NP241C Right-hand-drop transfer case.
The Scout has rebuilt Dana 44 axles with 4.11 gears and ARB airlockers front and rear.
I come here pondering scrapping the Scout and building an Explorer. I want to do a 1994 only, because that is the year of the engine I have. Also, I know the AC in the 94's worked great with R-134. I owned a 94 Explorer in 94 -- sold it to buy the Scout after taking it deer hunting and getting scratches on it.
I have to meet federal emissions with a strict visual inspection. Will the engine from the half-ton van be fine or did the Explorer have to meet stricter than half-ton requirements?
Do Scout axles make good candidates for Explorer swaps?
Will the TBI 350 fit in the engine bay?
Should I just finish the Scout?
