Frell. Know I know what they're *really* capable of.

I guess the van's dry out a bit quicker in Zambia than they do here !

Without a doubt those vans are floating sideways down that river. crumbs.

They kept up their momentum so water leakage should have been minimal - isn't it great seeing syncro's out there in the type of environment they're meant to be in - inspiring stuff!

Great link.

Very nice. Good job they kept going forward during the crossing.

They have got some very nice "Cars" for sale with 16" wheels on that site at the moment.

That is unbelievable.... I did not know they could swim too... flippin eck.

These must be modified syncro's... upward exhaust etc? Can't see one tho.!!!

If they are stock... I take my hat off em...

Front crawl and back stroke anyone..?

I don't know about upward exhaust, in the shot from behind is that not it bubbling?

Post by **Russel** » 28 Apr 2006, 18:45

U dont need upward exhausts to submerge an engine in water just a good snorkle.(that applies to diesles)As no t25's were factory diesles in SA
u will most likley find 2.4 td oyota engines in them as the 2L 2.2L and the 2.4L td oyota are a very common conversion( can buy a well cast bellhousing and crossmember of the shelf for about £140 ) and they are very good engines.
Had my diesle syncro engine prity much submerged for 10min + at cony waiting to be recovered.As long as u keep it runing the exhaust gases keep the water out.Dont switch off.And if the engine dies dont restart before taking apropriate action.
