The Scrub 350 mindset is curious to watch in action. For years it was the rage to drop a Scrub 350 into anything and everything. I suppose that once upon a time it was that way for the Ford flathead. But that 'Scrub 350 is the hotrod engine' mindset leaks out in odd ways.



I advertise on Craigslist, usually selling crankshafts, so I watch Craigslist closely to track what's being sold and how it's being sold. I don't think a day goes by on the Boise Craigslist that someone doesn't advertise an engine part for sale but never mentions what engine or car it goes to. Today it's a Mallory Dual Point Distributor. (This one is posted in ALL CAPS) Often it's an Edelbrock intake manifold. (Edelbrock owes its life to Chevy.) Sometimes, the seller will go into detail describing the qualities of the item, never mentioning that it's for a Scrub, but you can usually figure out that it's for a Scrub.



It's no wonder that there's a backlash about using Scrub 350's.
