It is very reassuring to know that someone with that knowledge has ‘looked over your shoulder’ and not seen any blaring “square pegs in round holes” sticking out there. So, thank you guys once again for your help.
I thought someone might want to see what replaced this 392 in the ’80 Scout. I was told that it was an ls7 racing engine from the track at daytona. The guys at the garage there had done it all. A lot of custom work had gone into pulling this off, I can’t claim to know if it was the best work or not, but I can Tell you that it sounded bad-a@$… Not at all like an International mind you, but bad-a$# nonetheless. It’s not something that I would ever want to do, but I always find it fun to see what other people wind up doing to their scouts.
Oh and let me know what you think I should do with this ‘broken’ intake manifold… I don’t have a need for it as far as I know. Anybody have a need for it? I do not have the little missing piece fyi, it came to me that way, and I believe it was broken in the shop after it was out of the ’80 Scout, because the seller had posted a photo of it out of the truck and it didn’t appear to be broken in the photo.
