My 1980 International Scout 2 Build

What would you recommend as a replacement air filter? I knew the current one was a terrible option and I was planning on doing some research but haven't got there yet.

I suggest you check in the K&N inventory as they have a huge selection of round filters. You will probably have to make your own sealed enclosure with a side intake if you want to draw cold air from the front of the car, or perhaps reinstall the original casing.

I can't imagine how warm the air can be under the hood when driving around town.

I've had got success with Mr.Gasket sets, available at most local parts stores

I am strangely attracted to the dashboard. Its so analog and beautiful. Very nice!

The color and condition of the paint is one of the main reasons I consider this Scout such a find. Whatever Scout I ended up with I wanted to paint this color, so I got very lucky. I can't wait to see how well it polishes up.

A big Bronco fan myself, but your Scout is very nice too. And in tip top shape. In all honesty, I wouldn't modify it, just clean it. Keep the original paint, just polish it.

Nonetheless, you can increase performance simply by putting back a bigger filter casing that takes cold air from the nose, currently it breaths warm lean air.

It's 3.73 right now, which should be perfect for 33's and probably 35's. I probably won't be running 35's for quite some time. 37's are too big for my application, and I don't want to cut the fenders on such a clean Scout.

[Restoman]

Are you going to re-gear when you put 35's on? I would at least go with 37's b/c you will need to re-gear. Subscribed!

It looks incredible! You don't find them in NC that clean. Looking forward to seeing this build thread.

Thanks guys, this one's a keeper for sure!

Great project, love those things. Always been an old bronco fan myself, great style.

I love old Bronco's as well, just couldn't afford that kind of money! Had a couple '78-79's, great rigs.

That looks too nice to fuck up with mods

Change everything back to stock, change every wear item and call it quits. Enjoy it the way it was meant to be.

Don't worry, I'm not doing anything permanent. I couldn't afford all work to bring a piece of shit back to life, so I had to start with something nice.

Nice and original, I have always loved those also.
