It's an IHC v345. AFAIK only the sixes were AMC, 232 and 258, there was no 
401 offered in Scouts. One oddity is that while the car contained a thread-on 
fan clutch that's NLA, the manual refers exclusively to the bolt-on version 
I'm presently trying to retrofit. Somebody had a last-minute change of mind. 

Now that I've got the pump in and fan on the clutch after a little freehand
file work I'll try to stuff it back together tomorrow to see what else
goes wrong....

Thanks for writing!
