Depends on the Scout. I put the wide ratio (granny tranny) in my Scout, 4.10 gears, and the 3:1 conversion. It had lockers front and back. Four tires against maybe two in the ford (if it had a rear limited slip) I dunno, I'm thinkin' it wouldn't be pretty for the old F-250!
About the 4.10 gears with the auto. That's the old debate of what's better, a stick or auto. That torque converter makes that 50:1 a lot more feasible. Still, I sure would like to see the new six speed in the H3!!! The gears are stronger in a 4.10 diff too (not much as say if they other was a 4.88, but still, it is stronger)
