Scoutillac 09-13-2004, 04:02 PM I was not quite happy with the performance of my Scout, so I made some mods. Even though I have not driven it yet I am 100% sure it will be much better. I started out by removing the motor, tranny, t-case, and diffs. Then I took everything that I thought I could use and threw the rest of it away. I feel enlightened that I have broken free of the Scout. I highly recomend this as therapy for the sickness. :D Ben W 09-13-2004, 04:14 PM Congratulations Rock Tractor 09-13-2004, 04:24 PM Yup all my junk might not be "stock IH", but it was American made. :cool2: Scoutillac 09-13-2004, 04:37 PM I did keep the hood and grill :smokin: Old Scout 09-13-2004, 04:42 PM I kind of had the same feeling today when I bought a 727 for my Mopar 408 swap. It's going to be nice to loose 250 lbs of IH fat! :bounce: Scoutillac 09-13-2004, 04:56 PM I kind of had the same feeling today when I bought a 727 for my Mopar 408 swap.

Just wondering if you've even broken in the 345 yet.. :flipoff2: The Adam Blaster 09-13-2004, 09:47 PM Any idea what a stock SII weighs? Urban Wheeler 09-14-2004, 08:33 AM Any idea what a stock SII weighs? Yes. Urban Wheeler 09-14-2004, 08:38 AM :flipoff2: I recall mine being a bit over 4000 lbs. tsm1mt 09-14-2004, 09:38 AM :flipoff2: I recall mine being a bit over 4000 lbs. My stripped, but caged, Scout II is 3800lbs. That's full width axles, 31" tires, 304/727/D20, body tub with inner/outer quarters, tailgate, outer front fenders/grille/lightened hood, racing buckets, and a cage. In other words, no doors,dash,windshield,top,floor padding, backseat, inner fenders, heater, and all of that other junk. The Adam Blaster 09-14-2004, 02:28 PM Well, i've got the 345, still have my doors, no factory roll bar, the previous owner made one out of 4" muffler tube, ya that's strong. :rolleyes: All the carpet has already been taken out for me, i'll be spray-lining the interior after lifting it. Probably going to get rid of the Fiero seats that he put in there too and go with some nicer Corbeaus. ;) Back seat is staying put. Gotta have room for all the ladies ya know. :D Rockabilly 09-14-2004, 02:50 PM this time around I'm trying to keep it aroud 4k, I'd give my left nut to be able to get under that.. mrutledge 09-15-2004, 05:12 PM this time around I'm trying to keep it aroud 4k, I'd give my left nut to be able to get under that.. If your left nut is big enough, that might just be the answer. (I know I'm mostly just a noob, but someone had to say it!) -Matt | |
