Well its time for the old worn out IH motor to and get this in its place.

uglyscout · 09-03-2008, 07:48 PM

Sweet! I've though about running one as well...

What does it put out 1-2 HP?

tricky0217 · 09-03-2008, 07:57 PM

The new style filter added like 3hp to already 2hp it was built to have so now she's got 5hp

The shop vac maybe? Boy will that suck!

RustoleumWhite · 09-04-2008, 04:40 PM

I like this thread already... V-8 powered Shop VAC!!!!! (sweet)

In all seriousness, when you get to swapping the motor in the Scout, I'd be interested in your notes. Motor mounts, radiator, rad mounts etc...

the research begins............

dboy · 09-04-2008, 04:53 PM

turn that sucker on blow and have a forced induction system.

i hear it adds something like 10 hp......

and then with naaaawwwwzzzzzz who knows what kind of numbers you could get.word.

Urban Wheeler · 09-04-2008, 05:47 PM

Before we race, I gotta get in the back and start my blower.

I thought about doing that to a 2.5 S-10, but using an inverter and electric blower. (no NOX)

stomp-a-jeep · 09-05-2008, 07:13 AM

A guy here at my work was looking into sdoing something like that. there is actually a lot of info on the web for a more permenent mod.

Good decision but get rid of the Q jet and inject it.

tricky0217 · 09-05-2008, 03:31 PM

Thinking of going propane injection. Got to do some research on that befor I decide. Will keep everthing up todate on this swap with info and pics. I'm starting this weekend and hope to finish up by next weekend without any major problems.

tricky0217 · 09-08-2008, 08:33 PM

Well a small update on this swap. Dug out an old set of headers that I had lying around and installed them.

Also went by my local race shop and picked up some weld in motor mounts and got them installed (used a spring bushing to hold it together to take a few measurements for installation)

Also got started taking front clip off tonight to make this swap easier.

sperkinsnwfl · 09-10-2008, 08:11 PM

damn update your shit already that boat anchor has been out for like two hours.... and take some pics of the new found lift damn MOOONSHINER!!! come on we have some yotas and a jeep to build and also tell someone to come buy up all this IH stuff we need room in the garage that damn 304 takes up more floorspace than two fat girls

tricky0217 · 09-10-2008, 09:40 PM

Got the boat anchor out tonight, a well needed weight reduction.That thing is a heavy pig.

Now just need to address the rats nest of wires everywhere. I'll most likely order a painless harness in the next few days to make the engine bay look cleaner.

tricky0217 · 09-14-2008, 12:39 PM

Time for a little update. I selected motor mounts made for IMCA race cars that have lower plate weled to the frame and I opted for a rubber bushing to go between lower and upper mounts.

I wanted to go as low and as far back as I could without any interference from fire wall or front axle. So the measurements I will be using for my swap are as follows..... 21.5" from inside of front frame crossmember to the center of the motor mount bracket with the bracket raised up 1" off the frame. This put the front pulley over my straight steer brace and above it 2".

It looks small in there compared to the old 304!

This is what I came up with for a crossmember for the transmissson. I tried to use ms paint and draw it out for you to see how it will look. Will post up pics as soon as I finish it and pre fit. Hopefully this shows up.

I hope to have all the welding done later today when it cools off a little bit and the motors final install done Mon. or Tues. as soon as my hydraulic throwout bearing for my 465 shows up.

tricky0217 · 09-14-2008, 07:25 PM

Well the only thing I got done was I finalized my motor mounts.

Tomarrow after work I'll get them burned in.

Look at shopih.com you can get a wiring harness for 1/2 of what painless wants.

tricky0217 · 09-16-2008, 05:28 PM

Thanks for the heads up on the harness. I do like the lower price and it helps out and IH vendor. I get one ordered soon.
