1977 scorpion sting - crap on!!!!!!

[nholic12]

nice i got a scorpion that my dad made out of a 340 whip engine, whip hood, whip seat, a sting body and a few other parts

[tman06798]

Ive got the exact same sled i was just working on it!

[82agwayldt11]

What is that, like a 440 cuyuna or somethin?

[SkiDooBlizzard292]

yep

[82agwayldt11]

yea, that's what I thought

[SkiDooBlizzard292]

Yah, in 76 (or 75') Scorpion bought the german company, Rockwell-JLO.

They moved all the engine building eqipment to the states and renamed the company "Cuyuna"

[82agwayldt11]

yep, I knew that, I have an old Scorp Stinger III, it's got a ccw. not cuyuna, but I did some research and learned all about Scorpion and Cuyuna

[SkiDooBlizzard292]

stinger III eh, what year, 74?

i was goung to get a 440 stinger but i bought a 72' 295 Alouette instead

[82agwayldt11]

nope, she's a '71 u actually are better off with the Alouette cuz if ur using it as a daily driver, a Scorp is not the way to go unless you just bomb around town or somethin, not too dependable! lol

[SkiDooBlizzard292]

ohhhh, well

that scorpion i wanted is free, and runs/

its a 74' super stinger

[82agwayldt11]

shit, if it's free, I woulda gone for it then!

[SkiDooBlizzard292]

yah, i love free stuff.

only problem is, its on the complete opposite side of ontatio, and my dad has no time to pick it up/

[xxxYaMaWhOrExxx]

i scrapped a complete jlo engine aircooled like that the other day

i only kept the pistons , it probly woulda ran,

scrap aluminum, 2nd one i scrapped so far , i couldn't even giv it away,lol, i tried

[SkiDooBlizzard292]

cool

have you pulled that old 69' olympique out of the crapyard yet?

[xxxYaMaWhOrExxx]

no not yet , still workin on gettin it

,i'm tryin to get it for free,lol

[SkiDooBlizzard292]

lol

evven if it takes a few extra bucks, its worth it.

just find some junk and sell it.

my last resort for money would be digging up sheep shit out of out barn and selling it to spread on gardens and fields.

lmao

[xxxYaMaWhOrExxx]

yhea ,i'ma only offer him 20bucks n a bit of scrap steel, i'll see about it this weekend

[SkiDooBlizzard292]

cool

imn going to see of i can get it free, then if not, offer him a bit of cash and some scrap aluminum,copper and steel if he wants it

[xxxYaMaWhOrExxx]

yhea ,he collects scrap , n thats what the sleds r gunna be ,so y not,lol

[SkiDooBlizzard292]

the guy with the 79 oly isnt a scrap dealer

but he had lots cool old stuff in his yard old wisconsin,kohler and briggs motors

an 88' crown vic. a toro garden tractor, a few lawntractors, and some boats,

he looks like a guy that likes machines, and the olympique looks neglected to me, thats why i think i can get it for free. hopefully

but, its in good condition, the key was in it, i felt like starting it, but the gas in the tank smelled like shit,the carb probably needs cleaned also

[xxxYaMaWhOrExxx]

i thought u were talkin bout the 69 oly i might be gettin from the scrap dude,lol

cool is it a 340? i have a 7? 340 all it needs is a track , i made a lift kit for it, looks sweet

[SkiDooBlizzard292]

I was, i was also talkin abou the 79' oly 340 i found today.

(did u read the comment on my channel yet?)

hopefully u can get that old 69'

that 79' is going to be in my hands, i am not taking no for an answer

[xxxYaMaWhOrExxx]
