I had a 75 Scout II, (345, 2 bbl, auto) If I remember right it was like 165 horse power but nearly twice the torque). I loved it, it was a great reliable vehicle. During the March Snow storm in 94 there were many days my Jeep CG would not go but the Scout never let me down. I had a 2 inch lift and 33 on it. They can be squirrelly to drive but they take bumps well. The biggest problems with them was rust but there are lots of clubs and fiberglass replacement parts to include entire tubs. I was hit by a F150 at a stop sign and it crumpled the ford and the scout drove away (lots of credit to the tube rear bumper) My kids loved the top off cruising we did in the summer (installed a full roll cage and canvas top. I will see if I can dig some picks up.
