    My name is Pete and I searched for a while here for references to answer my question. I am tearing apart an ISB 170 that came out of a bread truck. I had it torn all the way to the block and all that remained was the crankshaft, camshaft and pistons, or so I thought. I was lifting it back to to...

    Okay so I know that the 4bt and scout IIs go great together and will bump up the mileage as well as the drivability. I have purchased a bread van that has a 4bt in it and plan to swap it into my frame off restoration scout. The bread van has the t19 transmission in it currently but as I'm sure...
