Had a 77 Scout II like that in high school that I turned over several times. Extremely top heavy and narrow, mines had a 345 with a 4 barrel carb pos traction rear end and it would swap ends pretty quick.

Went by there again this morning. Were close to a deal. Its pretty much a basket case..... ALOT of work to get it right.

Carb needs rebuild.
So does steering box. Then needs to be mounted differently.
Not sure steering linkage is right either.
Brakes top to bottom. Major issues here
Wiring is atrocious!!! Not sure what they were thinking???
Got the wrong size wheels on it. Calipers are cutting grooves in them.
Etc, etc, etc.........

Like all women, the silent button you get to apply when they're elated about something you bought them is only temporary!
