Love it.....I own a 1981 Chevy Van G10.I just can't understand why people let wonderful and greatly made vehicles sit and sit till rust takes over and you have to restore it. . or drive it.Some people just toss them.Still beautiful....
Ikr people are fucking mentally retarted idiots , i swear im fucking mechanics i love old school vintange classic vehicle's and i mean the true vehicles as the kids call it *SIGMA* besides this van is beautifull i just really wish they made Manual trans and clutch tho sorry but im just not a fan of Automatics and no clutches
I own a clean 1991 Chevy G20 StarCraft with the 5.7l V8, I jus did a bunch of work to it new fuel tank, fuel sending unit & filter, full service all fluids, I had to put a windshield in it thats what I do for a living auto glass, I put the old style rubber set windshield I don’t like the glue in they don’t fit right it’s a messy job having to urethane the molding screw all that I jus hooked one in & it looks perfect! Sweet 6.2 diesel man I love it!
That’s one reliable engine that Mercedes Benz 147 hp 6 cylinder turbo Diesel engine. Purring like a little kitten. I’m sure that engine is indestructible
A Merc diesel in a Chevy van is very unusual! Good engine choice though since it's a lot more economical than the V8 gasser or the 6.2L diesel that these came out with! It's probably even more reliable than the 6.2 liter diesel!
Is it really so econominal? That small engine need to work really hard and the 6.2 diesel dowsnt drink that muc. 1-1,3 liter per 10 km is worth it for the sound of it.
Great swap I bet that engine is quite a lot easier to work on than the original V8 i. It's so tight to work on a V8 with two front seats in the way. Trust me
do you know t he song or group in Estonia: NK-Uved-va jad? I like this song and I used to have many others t hat I got some years ago from an Estonian website which does not seem to be online now....chuck
Does anybody know what these rims are called!? Or where I can find one.. I am renovating a 1989 g20 with 3 of these rims, and I love the look of them. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!
@@user-ub1ym7ni2k jeez, I realised the typo on that. I typed that a year ago? I meant to tried to say "old school diesel better than any chevy lump" Might work harder but a German engine with bags of torque should have better mpg than a big lump of pig iron from the 70's.
This one is imported from Sweden. And before sweden its imported from USA but I dont know from where exactly. This chevy van is not mine, owner of it kept it at our place and for now its restored and driving again on road. I would like to own any usa vehicle but they are pretty expensive here.
Yes, atleast these vans were sold new in Sweden and Finland from late 80's to early 00's. Most of them came with 6.2L diesel or 350 TBI (newer vans with 6.5D, 6.5TD and different variations of the 5.7L engine). These were quite a popular sight on the roads for 20 years, but today most of them are no longer used as daily drivers.
It sure does drive nicely, but what an abomination for the sound of an American van! This thing needs the V8 sound! But since the body is rotten anyways, you could still take out that indestructible engine and put it into anything else. That engine will survive another 5 car lives!
Sell cars? I'm from Romania and I want a car to be around but can be functional .. do not find so whole and broken car parts found only on piece .. And I want to look for a car to $ 200 :))
For ewery car!!! put gasoline in carburator,and stant engine!!!! and engine will start after 100 years sleping :D :D :D exept,if is not DIESEL,ahhahahaha :D : D:D:D
that engine sounds like shit. Cant be much savings converting to what I guees is a weak engine. The engine now need to work harder and that means more consumtion. I mean the 6.2 diesel drink about 1-1,3 liter per 10 km. I guess this engine is close to 1 liter per 10 km? maby even more.

This van will last forever with that engine

Would you happen to have the part number for that windshield gasket ? If not no worries and happy vanning.
G20, probably the best looking Van ever.
TheBobes agreed
TheBobes i have a g20 1988 hightop
Especially partially eaten by rust.
Hell
Yes
Looked tough before vans got neutered to sell to soccer moms
I agree

Oh, that poor old W124 wagon in the back....such a nice car! Well, this one not any more :(
only place for them.
Aka Production What? They are great cars!
Make it drift then
Amazing engine sound
laughed too hard at you jumping from the horn. cool engine swap on this!!
Pretty neat van, good cross country fishing car :D
2:20 you could stick orange bulbs instead of rear lights and make them blink instead of those not good looking square turn lights :) nice van.
Back when Chevrolet build great cars nowadays they always get electronic malfunctions
Not something seen in Estonia often I bet. Was the OM603 conversion + euro amber signals at the back done when it was imported? I
very reliable to daily use.
Mercedes Benz put Chevrolet van engine he got the van moving good condition awesome job friend bless you
Nice landscape🙃😲

Are you using stock rear differential? How is power compared to the 6.2?
Nice van
Great swap

For now there is om606 with electrical injection pump and 722.6 gearbox
@@Flexiny vids or didnt happen
I Like engine swaps. What did this require, My G3500 NEEDS A ENGINE SO INFORMATION NEEDED.
Very cool, how much horsepower, enough to move that van? What type of fuel economy did it get?
The car of my dreams

Are you going to start those Mercedes E Class ?
What transmission does it use? I find it interesting that you can use the original column shifter, but with the swapped Mercedes engine!
Why wouldnt that work? i guess its a lever on the transmission just like the chevy transmission
Super car!
how did it start with no battery
I'm glad I-m subscriber you I love your video
clips
likeeeeee and share facebook
That's the best thing that ever happened to the van ;)
Is this still up for sale ?
Mercedes engine! About the only thing missing is an 8 track tape player! 😉
😎👍

Wow, soo good,,, is there a VOLVO "RED COLOUR" IN TH BACKGROUND? :-)
So I take it this had a V8 and it was swapped to a Mercedes diesel?

Old School Dope much better than any chevy lump
@@monkehbitch now is it? that engine need to work really hard now.
@@user-ub1ym7ni2k jeez, I realised the typo on that. I typed that a year ago? I meant to tried to say "old school diesel better than any chevy lump"
Might work harder but a German engine with bags of torque should have better mpg than a big lump of pig iron from the 70's.
Do you have a scrapyard or what? From where are all those cars?
Just keeping these cars at home backyard.
Flexiny
But where do you get them from? Donations? Buyout?
Bought.
Flexiny
You have a lot of money then. :d
+Flexiny sell them because you just leve em rusting away
Kiedy w210 ????????????
ALT video title : DUDE STEALS VAN OUT OF JUNKYARD! @ 1:54
Mercedes ?
Where are all the grounds on 1985chevy deisel.
It’s weird to see you guys put cdi engine in a America van
Was the Merc engine swapped in or was that how some of them came in Europe?
Merc engine swapped.
+Flexiny That's awesome, shame the chassis and body are done for. Hope that engine sees a new home. Thanks for the reply.
vous allé fair un démarage de la mercedes break derriere ???
on pri pour la merco
i have chevy g20 w om606 and 722,6 gearbox very fuel efficient, but i think i might swap my g20 and 92 firebird v6 engine.
This chevy van has also om606 for now and 722.6 gearbox
Amber indicators on the rear? Wow, I bet Alec from Technology Connections is facepalming right now...
to the americans, those orange blocks under the tail lights is what europe does to your ccars
What!?!? Mercedes benz engine??!!?
The car behind omg! The engine out of it ?
No, this is om603 from Diesel Mercedes benz from some class because 6.2 liters American consumes Not a little Fuel ⛽
Could you actually buy these vans in Europe or was this one imported from Mexico or Canada?
This one is imported from Sweden. And before sweden its imported from USA but I dont know from where exactly. This chevy van is not mine, owner of it kept it at our place and for now its restored and driving again on road. I would like to own any usa vehicle but they are pretty expensive here.

5-cylinders??
6 cylinders.
+Flexiny ebay all your car that you leave sitting around
The European taillights are funny
US taillights but added turn signals to get it legal
Is the engine supposed to sound like this, or is it damaged? (knocking, piston slap,)
old mercs sound like this.
if you read the description you can see it has a merc engine
+Thoemaaas I am perfectly capable of reading descriptions, but I didn't know a merc engine sounded like this. It kinda sounds like a knocking engine.
i can understand that the old diesels of a merc/ a VW all sound like they are knocking but its * normal *
deWaardt it's not a Chevy engine
Это там ГАЗ-51 стоит?!
Ето же Естонец.
Откуда столько тачек у них?)
Mis mootor kas V6 või V8
Rida 6.
1:37 Lol
fibre glass panels
That's really a Mercedes engine judging by the sound.
well it reads Mercedes on the engine...
I already knew that,but also you can recognise it just by the noise the engine does.At least old Mercs were a lot better than the crap they make now.
+Mihai Gradin when you saying now what era they was good before now?
Free Candy!
It sure does drive nicely, but what an abomination for the sound of an American van! This thing needs the V8 sound! But since the body is rotten anyways, you could still take out that indestructible engine and put it into anything else. That engine will survive another 5 car lives!
Not even American.
Quel dommage de mettre un moteur Mercedes diesel dans un fourgon comme ça
My god I hope that's the diesel LOL
