AMC's are cool IMO. I've been looking for one off and on, and if one came by for free, I'd find it hard to refuse. Even if it is an Ambassador. (oh, and 390 FTW)
I have the exact same kind of steering column in my '74 Jeep truck.
I'd put a V6 in it, it'll make more power than a 401....:flip:
In all seriousness, a 401 will be fairly hard to find. They're highly sought after by the Javelin crowd, and there weren't a lot made anyhow. I think you could find a 360 a hell of a lot easier.
Then again, I suppose some people get a hard-on by shoving the biggest V8 they can find into every can they have.
your funny. i don't know about big v8 given a hard-on but these :ies: might.
I haven't had a AMC for very close 30 yrs. my dad had 4 door one , when I was a teenager. this ambassador 990 was given to me free from a friend, i know for over 45 yrs. it sat in his yard for about 10 yrs . one day, he was passing by at work. I ask him, what he wanted for that AMC. his reply was, you can have it. when I got home from work that night, here she sat. but I will give him $50.00 money because he a friend ,if he will take it. it's a roller and only rust is on the surface from thinning paint.. so now I need to find a complete V-8 AMC drive train.
I'm thinking it a 1967 model. it has manual drum brakes and manual steering with no A/C. I would like to find a 401 AMC and 9 inch ford rear end .one thing about AMC. you can see some ford/mercury/dodge styling in this one. can you find them?
so tell me how a seat can do this, still in the car?
I guess, I will paint it this summer back to same factory blue for dad and mom.
Dude, drop the attitude. The guy wants an engine that has good power (5Hp less than a 5.0 HO) and will improve the wieght bias of the car. Get over it
what? there no attitude on this end of the computer. :D
just thinking the amount of work. it takes to put 545 big block in his bird ,in place of the 5.0 CFI is lot. with the owner built custom header's and wiring, working fuel lines and tank. then swapping tranny & rearend and front brakes and all. just wished I had keep the one I did.
i had one of those with 2.3/aod. it ran good with then 2.78 but when i put the 3.73in. it ran better plus my intown gas mpg went up to 20 and my highway mpg went up to 30.
the only thing I notice! is when you ask them a question. you get a rude reply like the world coming to a end or something like that. do they need a time out? if some one post something and are the type that get upset because you ask them a question about! then maybe don't reply to the question?
loving winter here. we had snow here from the first part of December. so all the out of state people ,are leaving for the south!
I wish I had known this, I just removed a friend from off of here the other day because they were updating/using farmville so darn much! "So-in-so found a lonely cow, blah, blah, blah." I don't care about your stupid cow! :flame:
i agree. i'm on there just for my sister and my three kids.
