WOW !!!!!!....joe

It would be nice to know the torque/HP numbers.

A 345 IHC is a half a ton of iron, bigger dimensions than a BBC, and 180 HP at low RPM. Not your ideal hot rod power plant. Leave 'em for farm trucks.

UN holly combinders bat manwould be nice to see some numbers on it . if it has a good block and money any thing can make big power some just cheaper and E Z Rrrrrrrrr then some

I'm betting that engine is mostly stock.

i will take that bet

That's pretty slick. There is no substitute for "cubic money", and with a little or a lot of it, you can make almost anything work better. In my experience, those "Binder" motors were da*^% tough when they were tuned and maintained right, and some of you farm boys will probably agree. Used quite a few of them over the years.

So is a 392 Hemi.
IHC never built cars.

Hah! That's the first time I've heard a Binder and a Hemi called anything the same!
IHC never made a car, but a '61 Scout was smaller than many cars. the later Scouts had 345's and were nose heavy dogs. I've had a few of virtually every vehicle IH ever made, and none of them were any hot rods. Even put a 304 in a '61 scout! Had a few IHC's with Hemi's in 'em, too. Much better than 345's!

How about IH sv392 and Chrysler 392 Hemi ?
That 61 Scout was an American made mini-truck.
The Scout IIs are nose heavy, especially with a driving front axel.
so is a Dodge dart when you shoehorn in a 392 Hemi (see picture below)
the sv345 does weigh 150 lbs more than a SBC @ 575 lbs,
sv392 = 765 lbs,
392 Hemi = 767 lbs

i did here that some did use the hemi in the old combinders how about a all alum donovan bbc 10.200 632cid only 450 pounds that will shuck your corn

you know hes got a poin stock 392's werent over 250 horse?????
