Re: How to shoehorn a 1983 258 into a 1970 Hornet (long)

["Jim Blair" <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A: I resemble that statement too! '73 J4000 with 77 AMX 304, '84 J10 with 
4.6L stroker awaiting assembly and AW4 with NV241 OR Tcase (from an '03 
Rubicon), '84 Cherokee 2 dr with '93 TJ 2.5L motor (EFI goes in later), '83 
Cherokee full size with Mopar 360/727 and Jeep tcase with Ford Dana 61 rear 
axle (1 ton) and looking for a Ford 3/4 ton front. (D44 is much cheaper than 
D60 ford fronts), '88 Comanche which was 2wd, and is now just a trans swap 
from being 4x4 (motor is from an '87 Cherokee), '89 Comanche (which was 2wd) 
with '86 Cherokee 2.5L and 5 speed with Renix TBI swapped to the motor.
   Only things still stock around here are the '01 Subaru (to go away after 
I make the pickup automatic) and '91 E350 cube van (460 with EFI and loaded 
with Jeep/AMC and other spare parts I'm going to haul to the fleamarket soon 
I hope then after we move in Sept, it will go up for sale)

Now that I think of it, I don't even own one normal-engined car:

* 1963 classic has a 1970 232 + BW
* 1972 hornet has a 1970 232 + BW
* 1970 hornet has a 1983 258 +A904

(The 72 has the 70s engine in it; Ran Akerman did that out of

expedient necessity.)
