[Amc-list] aluminum Re: 196 head bolts

>From what I can recall of the one in my 63 Classic it ran slightly better then the iron motor we put in later.
One big difference I remember is the fact the iron motor made the car ride better.
It dropped the front about an inch and the extra weight made the springs soak up the bumps more.
It handled better with the al engine though.

Doen't Joe have couple now?

I think If you get diligent you can find one...

Would def be different!!!
