304 from Int. Scout

A friend wants to get a 304 from a Scout to put in his Jeep.Is this an AMC or did IH have their own 304? I know nothing about IH.,and not much about Jeep either but I`m catching on.

IH has their own 304. The 4 cyl, 304, 345, 392 are all based on the same block. It's big heavy and will last almost forever. Loads of torque at low RPM.
:cool:

The I.H. 304 while sharing the same displacement is a whole different animal from the amc 304. Kinda like the difference between a ford,chrysler and amc 360, all different breeds sharing the same displacement.

Now,that being said,anything is possible but he'd likely need the entire drivetrain from the scout also.

i had a scout 2 with a 345. you think parts are hard to find for an amc---ha!!the only upside is the fact that nearly every ihc heavy duty truck for 20 years used this motor family. i wouldnt go thru the trouble. you could swap a sbc for a lot less, and have a lot better deal.

A 304 IHC motor is huge. You guys think an AMC intake is heavy, try lifting one off a IHC motor.
