[DeTomaso] NPC: Bronco Alternatives...

Pontiac did one of those half V8's too. A 389 with a  bank chopped off.
I wonder, was it possible to machine a raw V8 crank casting/forging to only carry one rod journal per throw?

I had a Scout 80.  It has the robust "152 C.I." engine - a IH 304 engine cut
in half.

I can't say it was "rugged", but it was super cool.

Currently have a FJ40 as my "Off Road" vehicle...
