If it has a 350 who the hell knows what else is under it, crawl under and look. Or do you mean 345?

well, the for sale sign said 350, but i looks VERY stock, so yah, consider it a 345...

345, Dana 20 T/C, Dana 44 front a rear axles, TF 727 Tranny If it stock.

kewl, thats kinda what i thought. thanks. i'll verify in a few days if i decide to get it...

thanks

If it's a little itty bitty engine, it's a 350.. if it's a monster.. it's a 345, which would be stock.

Look at the big intake manifold for the firing order and "Time on #8" and it's an IH 304/345/392 engine.

If it's an SV (IH V8), then it's a TF727 with a Dana 20. If it's a 350, you need to find out if they used the AA adapter between the 350/727, or got more creative (and wiser) and went with a TH350/TH400/TH700 or something else in which case they might've spent the money to adapt it to the Dana 20, or went with a '205, '203, Dana 300, or who knows what else. :)

..but where do you plan to wheel around Missoula? The hairbags have succeeded in locking up just about anything that used to be available..

sweet thanks!

What did I tell you about looking for an MB and finding a scout, huh? WHAT DID I TELL YOU!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH BWAHAHAHAHA

For good basic info try Binder Bulletin (http://www.binderbulletin.org) it's great getting the basics out of the way.

Just wait, you'll hunt and look for years, chase leads only to come up empty. Then one day you'll be sitting in a bar talking to some local and out of no where some old fart will emerge seemingly out of nowhere and tell you he's got one of them old Jeeps locked away in a barn. He'll be looking to move and need to get rid of it. So you'll carefully plan the day to go get your prize. He'll walk over, fumble with the keys and the old padlock for a few minutes. By this time you can taste the MB in the barn, waiting to be discoverd. He'll throw open the door only to find.........................























A clapped out old Scout! Good luck in your hunt!!



AND SLOWLY, DELIBERATLY, I BOW DOWN...LOL!!HAHAHA

If your looking for extra axles and the such, I am in Billings and am looking to move stuff cheap. It is taking up space. I replaced my stuff with full size Chevy so these are just sitting. Along with some interior parts.

Have fun with the Scout, it's an addiction.

I'm always in the market for spare axles n' such.. and I should be in Billings 9/9-10, probably for both the Rock Crawl at BMP and the "CORR" race in Acton.

Only room for one rig on the trailer, so I'll be bringing the racer to compete on Sunday and watching/helping at the Rock Crawl. The thought of using my trail Scout to tow 250 miles and back just isn't as appealing these days as it once was.

..but there's always room for an axle or three in the truck or on the trailer. :D
