The good thing is, IH Scout, and Jeep, shared a lot of driveline components, so at least the running gear has a lot of interchangeability. It doesn't have to come from a Scout if you need running gear many times.
Springfield OH was the site for many of the IH plants, so there is a few businesses around here that specialize in IH, and Scout parts. The Scouts were built in nearby plant in Fort Wayne Ind. They also have a IH show at the fair grounds once a year in Springfield OH that includes all the on road vehicles that IH made. While it's going on you'll see a lot of very rare IH vehicles on the road attending the show. The engine is as has already been said, a slant 4, that is half of a 304 V8, 152 Cu in, @ 93 HP. There is still a Navistar/International plant here that builds medium duty trucks for Navistar, and recently they have started building medium duty trucks for chevy also.

Very cool. Went deer hunting about 15 years ago with a friend who had a '62 with a 289 Ford in it. When my '83 Hi Lux wouldn't go any further in the snow, his old Scout kept going like a champ. These little rigs really do well off road. Perfect size and geared low. Good luck with the project.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
