FUTURE-PROOF YOUR SCOUT WITH US

While many approach an LS Conversion utilizing "low mileage" engines with "refreshed" components, we choose to set ourselves apart. Our Drivability Conversions are built with GM sourced crate engines outfitted with all new, premium components. With the obsolescence of so many Scout inherent parts, our focus is on future-proofing our builds to have a serviceable life well into the future.

This is not just an engine swap.

Adding more power to an aged platform can leave your Scout with poor road manners and expedite cracking at weak points along the frame. This is why we fully address each aspect of the Scout mechanically and along the frame when we transplant the heart.

Each of our Frame off Restorations and Drivability Conversions are up-fitted to include:

New custom-built East Coast Gear front and rear axles
Four wheel disc brakes with hydroboost and Wilwood Master Cylinder
Premium suspension to suit your desired stance
Atlas Transfer Case
Tom Woods Driveshafts
E-Stopp Push-Button Emergency Brake
Cruise Control
Custom aluminum radiator, fuel cell, coolant overflow and washer reservoir tank
Dakota Digital gauges for enhanced visibility and accuracy
Air Conditioning
KC LED headlights
New wiring harnesses thoughtfully routed and loomed to ensure long lasting functionality and clean aesthetics
Enhanced interior lighting

RESTORE. ENHANCE. MAINTAIN. MODIFY.

FULL FRAME-OFF RESTORATION

Our frame-off restoration begins with complete disassembly of the Scout body, which is then moved to the rotisserie for blasting inside and out. This exposes oftentimes a history of paint jobs and body filler, giving us a clear picture of all structural and cosmetic needs.

Every inch of the Scout is finessed, restored and enhanced as we convert to the GM platform with an LS or LT engine and a customized stance to suit your preferences.

The interior is custom curated with respect to your desired modernizations and finishes, and all exterior trim is chromed, painted or powder coated to achieve the overall look desired.

DRIVABILITY CONVERSION

FULL FRAME-OFF RESTORATION

DRIVABILITY CONVERSION

With the body removed from the frame, we begin by stripping the frame completely. This enables us to repair and add support to the frame along with all new engine and transmission mounts prior to sandblasting and powder coating.

The freshly finished frame is then dressed with custom axles, enhanced steering, four wheel braking, premium suspension, and a crate LS engine mated to a performance built transmission.
