Re: Allan on 392s

Joel,

I'll make one minor correction, you only have to worry if you have a 
74/75 fullsize truck, these need the special side mount bosses. A 
Scout II can accept any SV motor, made from 1958 through the end in 
1984, as proof I will offer the 345 that I put in a 76 Traveler that 
came out of a 63 loadstar.
