Thanks for the plug Eddie. I am surprised I even saw this. I typically just scan through the subject titles looking for items of interest but I am in California this week on business and actually had some time this morning to blow so I am reading a little more. Colin, as for your engine, I can put together all the parts you would need from top to bottom or build you an engine. Shipping maybe an issue for you as a complete engine will add a bit to the cost but if you don't have an engine builder in your area knowledgeable in AMC engines, it would be well worth it. As for buying a re-man, I would only use this in an emergency. A lot of the re-manufacturers just put the bare minimum into the engine figuring certain percentage are going to come back anyway. It is a roll of the dice there. Better off spending the $ to know exactly what you have. Give me a call if you want to discuss this further. I think you can put together a nice engine for an Ambo with your budget.

He lives in Wisc. but he specializes in AMC and could probably guide you on the best route or even build to your budget. I had a 4 door car that I got in 1978.It was my grandmothers.I kept it for years and sold it when our 5th child came along in 1998. I have regretted that move and tried to buy it back for years. The owner crushed it last year. It still hurts. Sentimental reasons keep these cars alive......soooooo before you ever think of getting rid of it, make sure you wont have regrets otherwise, do it a little at a time.......eddie walker _______________________________________________ AMC-List mailing list AMC-List@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list or go to http://www.amc-list.com
