The only swap that this section allows is too either a later AMC engine or sell the car. On my 69 AMX that was 390 oem it went to a later Jeep AMC 360 engine that I was going to rebuild. After checking taper and crankshaft I ended up just reringing and new bearings instead. A little loose at .0025 clearance, but still in specs.
A 69 390 lives at such a ragged edge that it takes all sorts of money to keep it running. Where a 360 is so much milder that it will almost never fail. I did keep my aftermarket rev-limiter for protection along with the Accusump. |

You're not the only one, but the only one to admit it. I'm curious to see if this goes on for another 20 pages now. |

I've always been curious as to why the people who respond to a post are held to a higher standard than the person who wrote the initial post...? Is this like the NFL where the player who retaliates is the one who is caught & punished? I guess we're all supposed to know intuitively that every outlandish or bizarre post is obviously by a Troll, which brings me to this...
Place this whole thread in the appropriate 'FrankenRambler' section and it will die a quick & ignominious death, deservedly so. I guess that's one (and probably the only) good thing about THAT section. |

I'd love to see some photos of this swap, the proof is in the photo you know. Anyone interested in starting a betting board ? Winner has to pick the time and day this guy responds with photos. Edited by White70JavelinSST - May/26/2015 at 2:27pm |

This thread makes me wonder why some idiots put so much time
into spamming this forum. Gear heads that build the big three products must really fear us. There is a Frankenrambler section for those whom must build a blasphemous hybrid.

Us = the AMC V8. The answer is yes.
I never feared them in the past, but after reading all the nightmare stories on here, I do. |

Funny you mention the accusump. I wonder why more people do not use them. |
