1964 Scout

You're welcome. Glad we could be of help. Remember, the only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked.
 
Chappie, I found my Scout to need a motor. It now has a slant 4 and I would like to know if a 345 will work with the current bell housing and trans. If not, what small v8 will work.? Thanks.

Scout II or Scout 800 or 80?

The op's title says 64 Scout.


@ daddyray, no to will the 345 bolt up to the 64 bell. While the engine will bolt up, the 4 banger bell housing bolt pattern kicks the engine 15 degrees towards the drivers side. That is not a good look for a 8v.

The physical size of the IH 304/345/392 (all basically the same size) will require some creative metal work to shoe horn any of them into a 61-67 Scout.

A "belly button" (small block Chevy) will fit assuming you can source an adapter with no cutting other than maybe shifting the mounts a bit. The t90 3 speed will survive so long as you don't hot dog it.
