I don't know where you'd find any information on the Scelbi on the web.
I know the issue of Radio Electronics where the Mark-8 first appeard as a
kit was July 1974.
Here's a great site Andrew Davies did on the Mark-8 after some e-mail
interviews with Jon Titus.

Jon Titus, creator of the Mark-8, will be speaking at VCF 3.0, so maybe
you can get more resources from him (he's since donated all his original
stuff to the Smithsonian, and I don't think he has the original PCB masks
anymore).

Consider that a Mark-8 is probably very simple to
re-produce (save for the
8008 chip) but could sell for upwards of $1K each on the current ebay
market frenzy. The original PCB layouts are still available too. Same
goes for a Scelbi.
Hmm...can you send a pointer to this stuff? I have a small stash of 8008s and
I'd love to build a Scelbi clone.
