It’s a truck / half top

Top speed with the stock set up was about 70 mph. I personally loved the 196 and the way it sounded like a tractor!

@@dbz4949 my uncle is gonna turbo charge it so hopefully it won’t struggle on highway driving. Do you have any suggestions for an ac system for this scout with the 196 cu engine?

Thank you! And holy crap that’s amazing! Especially since I know what this thing ran like without the upgrades ….

Hi Phil, The carburetor is a WEBER 36/32 two barrel. All it needs is an adapter plate which is avail. The electronic ignition is a Davis Unified Ignition (DUI) distributor. All it needs for install is a 12V lead. I can’t remember what brand the disc brake conversion was. It was generic ordered off the internet made for a scout 800 but it worked great. It did require a late model master cylinder upgrade made for disc brakes. I believe the one I used was from a corvette but any will do if you can fit it in there. Ryan

Thank you I'm restoring mine from your frame up and I seen you so I thought I'd do what you do to make the brakes better and make a run little better I appreciate the info thank you much you have a great day

Can’t remember…. But I say it in the video as I’m shootin the wheels and tires

everything is stock except the carb and distributor

Rhino liner

$19k.... but I had a $22k offer after it sold...😕

Dropped right in- all you gotta do is add 12v power and hook up plug wires ! Difference is night and day. Well worth the money

73stayred I left it alone- just overhauled it with seals n stuff. Worked great!

Thanks so much for the reply. Second question what's the correct Webber carburetor to get?

73stayred 2barrel Weber 32/36. You’ll need an adaptor plate. I can’t remember exactly because it was awhile back but I think I called Weber customer service direct and they knew exactly what to send me. I can’t stress enough how flawless and reliable it ran paired with the DUI (Davis unified ignition) HEI single wire distributor. Neither one breaks the bank and the difference is ridiculous!

dbz4949 I'm converting a '61 scout and I am battling trying to stay as stock as possible. It was a great find coming across your video.

Can I also ask about the gas caps? Manufacturers

Shame that so few are left original.

You ever build something yourself buddy quaid? I’m thinkin not. I’m guessing that you sit on your couch most of the time on the internet trying to insult people on their projects and things that make them happy. You’ve chosen to focus on a yellow knob, an aftermarket steering wheel and some speakers in a classic ride that still runs the original drive train when most others don’t. The front seat is original by the way but since your an expert on Scouts I’ll let you believe whatever you want. Through one simple post you solidified yourself as king of all douchbags. Congrats to you. Keep on hiding behind your keyboard it’s clearly what you do best-

jacob valenzuela thanks!!

thelocustemperor thank you!!

Ha! Thanks! They can’t all be rock crawlers I guess-

Sorry for the late response - sold 7/2016

No power steering. I left it alone and believe it or not it still steered just fine with oversized wheels/tires. Didn't go wheelin though-

Standard spindles with 2 coils cut out of the springs. The wheels are billet specialties dagger G but I can't remember the spacing. I sold the pickup this last spring otherwise I'd measure for you. Good luck with your build good to see more studes on the road!

+dbz4949 that's sucks I finished the chassis and the bodies in paint I forgot to mesure out the front for the new wheels up front before sending it off did you c notch the rear or is that the standard no limit fat bar kit witg no notch ?

It's notched.

I don't have the part number but it's a Davis Unified Ignition distributor. U can get them direct off the website, eBay or summit also sells them for the four cylinder. One 12v power line and your good to go. Makes it run like a champ especially if u upgrade to the Webber 32/36 2 barrel carb

Just your average mild steel. Not sure on the length I sold it about two years ago but I basically cut them just short of the width of the truck.

Not sure. Sold it a few years ago. Sounded awesome though like a tractor. Totally unique

This motor was awesome! Looked good, kept it somewhat original and sounded like a tractor- the only thing I'd say was a must was the carb upgrade from the single barrel to the weber 2 barrel and the DUI electronic ignition. The difference was nite and day. It took my scout from a novelty to a daily driver. I've since sold it but people went crazy for that thing at car shows.

I have a 1972 Travelall with the 392 V8 totally stock at 191k original miles. It has a lifter tick that I will address. However, it's easily the best sounding V8 I have ever heard in terms of stock/non-modified.

VinnyMartello why would even think it would have a Chevy engine in it

VinnyMartello Its a waste to put a small block chevy in that in my opinion

+Jacob Pacheco Only when stopped. Once you start moving its super easy. No need for power

dbz4949 idk why people need it, you shouldnt steer when stopped, it hard on the steering parts

+Cody West I made the speaker enclosure so they aren't out there. It was the best place I could think of to put it
