Trying to calculate the least expensive way to go... have 304 which would need valve job, bearings and rings and minimum rebuild, plus the cross member conversion. Or- a 4.0 Jeep 6 banger (love that torque) and an early head (rebuild one available) and whatever else needed in that conversion. Or-replace the piston and gaskets on original (105,000 mile) motor. Of course not a lot of funds available at this time, but some, and the need to get this running so as to sell the 80 Wagon per what I told my wife, in case she was listening to me. Yeah, she was... Suggestions and opinions welcome. Than You All!!!Happy New Year Blessings,Richard Estermyer javelinman74@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > _________________________________________________________________ What's in the Concord now? Is it a toasted 258? Could you put out feelers in various AMC groups for a running 258, perhaps from a car that is getting a V8 upgrade? _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
