Inter Scout

Hey Scout man, what year is your wagon. My old man had a 76 Scout traveller. We had a 65 scout ute with the 4 banger in it for awile to but she wasnt much chop. Got replaced with a landrover which I reckon was worse.
I'd like to have the pair of them now !

Baz, you know Bill McConnell has/had one?

I've got two '78 Travelers. The one in my icon is my daily driver. It's pretty original with 345 V8 on gas and tourqueflite tranny.

The other one I'm turning into a ute (Terra). The engine (also 345) needs a rebuild and it's got a 4 speed manual box.

I remember seeing the Scouts parked in the Whitehorse International yard on the corner of Springvale and Whitehorse road when I was 18 or 19 and thinking they looked too American for my taste. Little did I know that 20 years later I would buy one and think it was better than sliced bread! :

Good buggy's I reckon the Scout.

Baz,

I know of one over here in NSW which has been repowered with a Silver 3-53T Detroit Diesel engine and an Isuzu 6 speed gearbox! I think I have a picture of it somewhere - I will place it here if I do!

Sounds like an interesting conversion. I've seen a c1300 4wd with little Jimmy in it. Better than a Landcruiser

Dennis,

I've never seen them with any type of Detroit Diesel before this one - mate, it'd leave newer 4WD's for dead up on very steep climbs! Them little "Screamin' Demons" have excellent low down grunt!!!

PS: I'm in the market for a 4-71NA Fan to Flywheel Detroit Industrial!
