Man I love this. Channel. I have a 72 scout 11, original 345. Lift buckshots. It's a beast!!! It's a rust bucket, but it's my scout I love it. Everyone wants to go for a ride in it. I love taking it. Like y'all said, nothing like when a old-timer comes up with stories about his scout. Thanks Feller's for all your hard work. Love the show.
I have a 72 as well. Was passed down to me from my grandfather, it has the original 302. No rust from what I can tell, but he kept it in a garage. All it needed mechanically was replace the radiator and the rear brake hose. Still haven't been able to drive it just yet because I'm waiting on door locks to arrive and a couple other parts. It's been a lot of fun to work on, it's so much easier than any of my other cars. I can't wait to drive it.
Nothing beats an old Scout! Dad had a 74 Scout ll when I was growing up. The ultimate hunting vehicle. I would love to have one to relive the good old days now with my kids.
The scout with a V8 in it is the quintessential muscle SUV, it's all the fun you need to drive fast in a straight line with the top down of a sports car, with the off road functionality of a jeep and the workability of a truck and it's a classic car as well!! So you can really wrench on it and make it your own, it's a clean slate...
Why does EVERYONE swap the motors out? Parts are still available if you only look. They are solid motors and nothing wrong with them. If the rest of the truck is in good enough shape, even the 6 cylinders in these can take you to 75 And the LS’s are not that much more efficient. Not for the money involved
Saying everyone swaps their motors out is a strong claim. For reference, out of all of our employees only one has an LS in their Scout. We too feel they are great motors and will run forever if you're willing to get your hands dirty and put in effort to keep it on the road. That being said some people don't want to do that and thats where swapping comes into play. Yes, parts are available and we sell them and lots of people are buying them to work on their Scouts. The choice of swapping has nothing to do with efficiency either, but to each their own. As long as Scouts are on the road we are happy.
@@anythingscout of all the scouts I’ve seen around both here and elsewhere, all the ones that are restored, more than 75% have not had any of the original engine. Maybe that’s just poor luck on my part but still. How can I ignore that? That’s all
You need to see more scouts…I’d bet out of the 60k scouts still in existence fewer than 1000 have LS engines. There’s room for both and no need to judge those that want to install a modern engine…if you want an original powered Scout go get one and keep it original. If you don’t don’t. We love them both. Come to our shop and you can see and drive both and then you will be more informed as to pros and cons of both Platorms
@@anythingscout I may have come across the wrong way alright? But when I look online at restores examples, they are almost always swapped for something newer. I don’t have people doing that but when it seems like most you see are like that, you can’t help but feel bad that the original parts that are already rare enough, are disappearing, that’s at least what it feels like and it’s saddening but I know there’s nothing wrong with new age tech in old cars and all that. I have a 69 Buick Electra with a Chevy Vortec 350 in it from 2000
@@anythingscout also hey, I’m about to be moving north and my uncle has a 77 scout II 304 4 speed he will sell to me cheap. It’s pretty clean and a good driver, mechanically like new but cosmetically nothing special. So perfect for Montana :) My question is, any tips on quieting the noisy valve train? He said it’s been like that since almost new, and I have noticed a lot of them are like that. Is there anything that can be done to at least quiet them if not stop it?
I'm sorry I have to agree with some of the other people I love my internationals and I love my scouts and I love my Chevy's but they don't belong together if it's not IH doesn't belong under the hood . But I still enjoy your video's
I hear you, but that is a tough justification since IH themselves used AMC and Nissan motors under the hood. We appreciate that, we should be having more and more terrables road trip videos on the way!
Nothing standard. You made a mutt, then you dote over patina, lol ! The 345’s were plenty powerful, and easily fixed in the middle of nowhere. Try that with computer crap ! You kids destroy what was made to last a farmer, with modern bullshit ! Farmers use to fix all their own stuff without running to a parts store, otherwise it was not a functional tool for the farm. I hate resto-mods !
No need to get riled up. Trust us we have taken our IH powered Terrables on thousands of miles of road trips and have slapped together countless fixes to be able to get back home. We are familiar with these road side repairs more than most and the benefit of simplicity. However, I have also road tripped my LS swapped scout thousands of miles and though the "computer crap" is arguably harder to fix on the side of the road, I have never had anything computer related fail on me. The only issue I've had was when I was road tripping across the country and my alternator finally quit, I simply went to the nearest tiny town's parts store and they had a new one on the shelf ready to go.
Nice Scout. I guess Im kind of a purist though. Why do you guys always make it a chevy? Why not fuel inject the 345 and keep it International? Im pulling 18 MPG outa my 345. Dont get me wrong 4.8 5.3 great motors - in a GM
Hey Rob, we've built a couple fuel injection IH blocks, but the outcome just isn't the same. We typically double the HP and cut the weight in half with an LS swap, as well as, cut the amount of driveway oil leakage. As far as the purist side, it all depends where you draw the line. For some people putting a GM fuel injection system on an IH is too much in its own right. We try to respect the original intent and design. Think back to the old IH advertisements, on the weekends it has plenty of power and torque for whatever kind of chores you want to put it through, but you can still get valet at your local fancy restaurant if you wanted.
Awesome truck. Just bought a 76. Looking forward to bringing it back to life.

Thats awesome! Keep'em going through the generations!
this patina is so sick...you guys got me late night searchin and schemin on an LS swap with yall!
my grandma always said "nothing good happens after midnight... except LS swap research."
bahahahha

Things will smell different when you're driving a scout according to these guys.
all the smells
I WANT ONE SO BAAAAD

Wtf is original miles?
Pre-drivetrain swap. Original truck, original miles. That is all we meant.
Ok, that makes sense. I see that on about every Craig’s list car add add for a used car. I think they are not using the term properly.
Thanks.
@@maxhammontree3169 For sure. Rust free, ran when parked!
how'd you fit 34s on this with only a 2.5 SOA??? how many inches of body lift? did you use 4 or 5 inch shackles??
One inch of body lift, on 4" shackles and some bump stops extensions to keep everything safe.
Nice Scout! How do you maintain the patina? Wax or Boiled Linseed Oil?
Lots of different schools of thought on that. We have only ever waxed it. But I have heard the linseed oil method as well.
**** "34x10.5" **** HOW??? Where?!!!!!!
:-0
look 31 to me
Your tire size is perfect. Can you tell me exactly what size they are? NICE SCOUT!
34x10.5x17

I would put a Ford under the hood of the Scout..and im happy with it
Song used in the clip?
Twin sister and leagues. They are credited at the end of the video.
I tried too use better gas milage as an excuse to do the swap. My wife didn't go for it...
Haha. Well, if you ever in Iowa you'll have to swing by and we'll get you guys behind the wheel of one and maybe it will change her mind.
Ask for forgiveness later!
