I'd sear that I used to deliver pizza in an IHC Scout that had a 304 AMC
engine in it. I disticntly remember opening the hood of the Scout and the
hood of the white Javelin and comparing the engine appearance. I'd swear it
was the same engine. I believe the Scout was a 1970 model.
Is that possible?

You will also see some IH's with 360's or 304's. AFAIK, they did not come
from the factory that way, but were swapped in for the 401 at some point.
Don't assume that an IH vehicle with an AMC V8 has a 401.

Just be careful; at one time, International had its own 401, which is
a big, heavy monster. IH called the AMC 401 a "V400", to distinguish
it from their own engine. The article on the Scout in Wikipedia
states that "some 73/74 pickups and Travelalls received the AMC
engine due to a shortage of IH V-392 engines." IH already had a
contract with AMC to use the 258 in their light trucks (including
Travelalls and Scouts), so the 401 was presumably an extension of
that agreement. The IH 401s were supplied with a 2-V carburetor and
manifold.
IH was a leading supplier of cab & chassis units to the school bus
and motor home markets, so it may be possible to find 401s powering
those vehicles.
