This was 2 Scouts that I purchased 6 years ago and made into 1. It was a 266 and now is a 304 with a Scout II 727, Dana 20 and 44/30 axles.
Tell us about your Scout:
I had a VW TDI until it was recalled and at the time I thought that it was going to be a great idea to get two old Scouts and make 1 daily driver. Thus my current 68 Scout was born. A couple of buddies and I, drove to Milwaukee to get them and spent 9 months patching the best parts of two together. I did daily drive it for two years and burned up a motor (the original 266) in the process. After a move and the purchase of an 07 FJ Cruiser (I like shoebox looking vehicles) the Scout began to get some more attention. I’ve patched rockers and floors. After blowing up the first 304 in wheeling in the snow too aggressively, I got a 304 that had been worked over and was in good shape. I also got a nice 727 and threw that in. Now I have the Holley Sniper EFI on it and use it 3/4 of the year. The 800 isn’t the prettiest, a PO threw some bondo in places I’d have done metal work and some day I’ll try but it runs good, my kids love it and it’s a fun vehicle.
