Легендарную УАЗ «Буханку» прокачали в США: установили мотор V8 на 270 л.с и 4-ступенчатый «автомат» GM

American craftsmen replaced the transmission lever and starter

The authors of the YouTube channel Fast Lane Truck in the USA have upgraded the famous Russian UAZ "Bukhanka" off-road vehicle. A four-speed GM 4L60E automatic transmission and a V8 engine from a Chevrolet Silverado with 270 hp were installed in the car.

Instead of the standard seats, the "Bukhanka" received more comfortable ones from a Toyota Celica GT, the original fan and radiator were replaced with similar parts from a Ford Mustang.

The fuel tank was taken from a 1998 GMC Jimmy, into which a higher-performance pump was integrated. The tank itself was made rotatable for easy and quick pump replacement.

In addition, the "Bukhanka" had its bumpers, transmission levers, and starter replaced. More than $13,000 was spent on parts alone, but now the updated off-road vehicle has gained new dynamics and comfort. The car received a new name — The Fast Loaf.
