Depends on what' there, need more info about what "kind" of rockers and studs it has...
Some heads were bridged non-adjustable, some studs & non-adjustable, may have non-stock even... If ya can get it squared away it might be a pretty fun wet ride from the sound of this... |

There is an AMC club in the Treasure Valley. Some fine gents in and around Nampa, Meridian and Boise (close to Star). Maybe they may know some tricks to help out. http://idahoamcrambler.com/
