BRAD B - Nice Scout!
LONNIE B. - IH did some REALLY weird stuff with Scout engines. The later Scouts had either 304 or 345 cid V-8's. There may have been an in-line 6 but they were rare, also IH used a Nissan 6-cyl. diesel, even a few with turbo's.
But in the early Scouts, IH built slant-4 versions of the 304, displacing 152 CID, and for one year, a 196 cid slant-4, half of a 392 V-8. For something light like the early Scouts IH's old 266 V-6 should have been a nice engine.
And I just LUV the four shift levers sticking out of the floor!
Like most IH trucks, they seemed to have one too few forward gears, 3-speed when most Ford, GM, or Dodges had 4-spds, but they geared them with high enough numerical ratios you could climb trees, or mountains, or whatever. But that meant you had very low cruising speeds unless you wanted to run the engine at 4000+ rpm all day. Which didn't really hurt the engine much, but burned a L-O-T of gas.
