1968 International Scout 800

Description for International Harvester Scout 1968

1968 Scott with new 2004 4.0 L straight six with only 300 hundred miles on it when installed. I was able to get the engine with the automatic transmission, ower steering pump, C pump, hat was originally with the motor. The engine came out of a 2004 Jeep wrangler. This engine is very peppy with a lot of torque. The Scout with this engine combo setup only has 5,500 miles on it since being installed. It is a very reliable rig. I would not hesitate to take it out in the woods by myself. It has 3 gas tanks. The original 9 gallon side tanks and a 18 gallon tank that hooks up to the jeep wiring harness. This is so you get an accurate fuel reading from the main fuel tank. The fuel is simply transferred from right or left tank by a valve and transfer pump. I installed adjustable skid rails/steps on the sides. It is nice to be able to adjust the skid rails out when you go wheeling. Another plus is the shoppers that like to over swing there doors smack them instead of the door. They really protect the doors. The body work and paint were done by myself. This is not a rust bucket that is full of bondo. This has been a high dry desert rig for all the time it has been here on Terra Firma. The paint is a Dupont base coat and a Chroma Clear coat with extra clear, t has proven to very tough. All in All this would make a great Hunting rig, aily driver. What ever your needs are.
