Hey Guys,
I have a scout that building up. The Problem though, is that currently, I don't know what way I'm going to go with it. It may be turned into a strictly off road vehicle (1 ton axles + 39.5s), Or it may be used to tow a a couple Samurai's around with (Much smaller tires, and most likely stock axles). So, I want to know what you guys would Fuel Intake you guys would recommend for both Applications. It's for a 345, that was just completely rebuilt. Either way I go with it, it will have a set of Headers on it.

If it stays offroad... Simple - Fuel Mileage is no concern. What is the absolute Biggest carb I can get for this 345, that will not stall on angles?

If I use it as a tow vehicle.... Would still of course, like to gain more power, but Need to be able to get somewhat good Mileage.

Thanks Guys!

Dont run a carb at all. Works for both your needs, mileage and angles.

dig a hole-put both sammys in it-cover over hole-park scout ontop of hole- for sale sign in scout window.now you don't have an angle issue.

The factory 4 bl of choice was a Carter Thermoquad. Original IH versions are very hard to come by these days, but they also came on Mopars from the mid 60's through the late 70's. I think you should scour old boneyards until you find one of those fine old classic prizes, bolt it on, and go wheeling.

when will you be making the important decision? :shaking:

And you care, Why?

Did anyone else see this? Do you seriously want to tow anything with a 100" Scout? Much less 2 Samurai's?? Seriously guys, seriously...

I would also suggest against the "biggest carb" you can find. Do some simple math and calculate the air flow numbers for a 345 and you will see that you need about 500 cfm's (plus or minus 50 or so). In stock form a 345 doesn't require a huge carb... Again seriously, the 'biggest carb'?? :shaking:

Stick to Samurai's.... :flipoff2:

Stick yourself in the eye with something sharp!!.... :flipoff2:

:homer:

If he gets a big carb right away he can always grow into it and use the extra cfm later in case he bores it out to 700ci or turbocompounds it. :flipoff2: That thermoquad is a flowin mutherfawker

Or propane.

make it run on rice like the samis.

dude...really?

My boat has a V8, I'd just tow with that.

Seriously though trade your Scout for a Brat and do the V8 FI on that and tow with that instead.

Propane fuel injection would totally rock :D

How old are you kid?

You are messing with big boy toys now.

I'd say ask a man to help you throw some 1 tons under it, SOA on 2.5" lift springs, and still do mild towing with it.

Propane fuel injection would totally rock :D

Why would you want to inject propane fuel into a rock?:confused::flipoff2:

Mine is SOA on 4" triangles and I'm still cutting the shit out of my front to clear my 38s. I'd still Poo Poo towing...unless you mean 2.5" wide springs.

I don't know , but I damn sure hope nobody hits that one with a torch:eek:

use steam! you can make it anywhere! :smokin:

:laughing:

God damn tuesadays, I swear.:mr-t:
