May 9, 20177 yr comment_520467 This is a really good article about the Scarabs http://datsunforum.com/the-scarab-legend-the-original-hybrid-datsun-z/ And this one from our site This discussion is also good http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/30344-scarab-z/ I think all the Brian Morrow / Scarab Engineering produced cars were 327 Chevy engines. However, as you can see, conversion kits were available thus allowing the 'opportunity' to install a Ford engine. Somewhere I read that only the Scarab Engineering produced cars had the peculiar valve covers and quarter panel emblem.
