Hello, I have a 76 Scout II. It has a 196 with a t19 tranny, wide ratio. I am just looking for some advice for my build up. I am new to the IH community. I have had my Scout for 2 years now, but she hasn't quite found her self on the road yet. I have finally got most of everything I'll need for the build. So I figured that a little advice before I get started might be nice.
So far I have bought 4 inch springs, which for now I will be leaving spring under axle. I also have 33 12.50 tires, new inner and outter rockers, new front driver side fender, a power steering gear, new front and rear bumpers, and new lock out hubs.
I still need to get floor boards, floor board supports, cab mounts, and im sure a few other things over looked at this time.
I plan on leaving the 196 in it. I also have a 304 that I got at the same time, but it needs rebuilt. So if anyone has any advice on performance, problems, or things to know about the 196 please let me know. I did get a Holley 5200, bought for $60 on ebay, till I can afford a better carb or TBI. I plan on buying an electronic distributor, either dui or a mallory. I hope to get rest of the body parts, and geting them all on. Then lifting it.
I still have more plans for it down the road, but for now lack of money and maybe going back to school are my enemys.
Thanks for reading and any advice you might have.
