Not sure if 73 Ambassador molding will fit a 71. I have a rust free, 73 Ambassador that had a minor engine fire while it was running in my driveway. Insurance company settled with me showing it a total loss. They were going to have it crushed, I bought it back from the insurance company not wanting to see it destroyed. I believe it was a fuel line broke near the filter that caused the fire. Minor damage to the wiring around the distributor and just burned a half dollar?size in the hood paint.?Car would make a pretty easy restoration project. Body rust free, interior very nice, chrome all good, newer radial tires, 70K on car.
Having issues with my local ordinance officer, the car has to go. Will sell the complete car for $300. Located in Saint Joseph, MI (269) 876-6026?

Got that nice, snazzy head back. All cleaned up. Each valve taken out
and cleaned. Bores honed. Gasket material removed. Looks real nice!
Grand total of 28 bucks. I was stupid not to have brought it back to begin with.

I haven't bought on yet, but will eventually need one. I have plenty of other
parts on my project to work on first, but I wanted to do some home work on
wiring ahead of time.

The late model AMC six (199/232/258/4.0L) WILL NOT fit in a 58-63 American. It's
4-5 inches too long. In the 64-65 it's a tight fit, but can be done -- you only
need about two more inches in the engine compartment and a special short shaft
water pump to do it -- but that engine compartment is 4-5 inches longer than the
earlier American. You could probably fit an Iron Duke in there, but then you
have to contend with left side clearance -- the "hump" has to come off, and even
then the intake is likely too far over. The only way to fit a late AM
C six in is
to toss the heater and set the engine back Pacer style. I've seen one guy do it,
but no way I'd go to that much trouble -- may as well stick a small block V-8 in
it, or a small V-6. Those also have hurdles -- the accessory drives, especially
on the short V-6s, are way to wide. Easy enough to solve, but costly, using
hot-rod narrow accessory mounts.
The only more or less modern engine that is an easy fit is the Ford 200/250 six.
Swap transmission with it. The late model 250 uses the SBF bolt pattern and
could use an early model AOD or a five speed. I wouldn't use a 200 unless it was
free/cheap -- not much more power than the 196, but parts availability is of
course better. May as well go with the 250 and get the benefit of the extra
inches.
A fellow over on www.hotrodders.com (goes by "ramzoom") is working on two
interesting early Rambler engine swaps (in 58-60 models, the same under the hood
except for heater design -- placement is the same). One is a Mazda rotary from
an RX-7 (twin turbos) and the other is a Quad-4. The Q4 intake curves back over
the engine, so it might fit without cutting the left hump off. This guy plans on
using side draft Webers, I think -- will have to check it out again. The rotary
engine looks like it would fit without the turbos, but he ended up doing a
custom Mustang II front end and cutting most of the fenderwells out for room for
the turbos. NOT for the feint of heart, and some Rambler guys will find all the
cutting disturbing, but he IS doing a real neat and professional job, not a
hack!
Here's the link to the Q4 swap:

I have decided that I'd like to consider 'dropping' my Spirit engine and 4
(or 5?) speed floor shifting tranny into my Breadbox convertible 'lock,

yet cheap to run.with the 2bbl and it oughtta get fair gas milage with an
'overdrive' tranny.

Frank, I'm hoping to hear some day of you putting that 2.3 liter turbo
4 from the Merkur into a breadbox. A turbocharged (intercooled?) 4

That gas was more than six months old then.
I do it all the time, well I used to, with no ill effects.
Since we now own a boat, 2 PWCs, a lawn tractore, pressure washer and my
American I buy the large containers of stabil and always have it on hand.
I've found that having it on hand saves forgetting to add it before storage.
I especially do not want to take chances since the new boat has a 260hp injected
SBC and I sure don't want to F that system up with bad gas!

You can also use a product called "Sta-Bil" available in auto parts stores. I
use it in my motorcycle if I'm going to have it parked for more than a couple
months, same with the lawn tractor. Just takes a few ounces. No need to run it
all the time, just put in a few ounces before you park for a while. Run the
engine a bit, enough to pull the mixture in the entire fuel system or you're not
doing much good. A 10-15 minute drive is usually sufficient, and the sloshing
around mixes it better too. Seems like the oil companies would add THAT to their
additive packages instead of letting the fuel go bad, but most people don't let
gas sit for 4-6 months (with the exception of lawn equipment). With the
shortages the fuel you got from that station could have been older fuel too. I
can tell you from experience mixing 6 month+ old fuel with fresh doesn't do much
good! Tried that in my lawn mower, mixing 25% old, 75% new (not 50/50!!), and it
STILL smoked, spit, and sputtered. To top it o
ff I had to clean the carb a couple times before I got it straightened out!

tom and myself had this same issue working on 2 years ago i think. if your car
sat for a couple months, that gas could have done it. the gas now, has so much
CRAP in it, it evapurates so fast, and leaves a nasty amber looking crap. take a
clear bottle, or cup, put a little gas in it and leave it for just a few days.
turns nasty amber like a medium beer.... nasty. i now make it a point of
draining my fuel tanks when i have a car sitting for very long. caspers tank got
pumped dry last fall when i parked her for the winter. my other rigs all have
empty tanks also. but, you weigh the pros-cons. empty tank, condensation, full
tank, tank ful
l of varnish crap, meaning sticking valves, causing bent pushrods,
and in my case on my 65 287, EXPLODED hydraulic lifters.... take y our pick what
you wanna deal with. either the car sat for a while and allowed that fuel to
evapurate a little, and make the varnish, or the "cheapy station" had a tank of
old fuel. and
possibly picking up some from the old stuff in the fuel system. all i can say
is HAVE FUN, and take it real easy. i also run seafoam when my rigs have been
sitting for a little while. seems to work great for me. just dump a can in the
tank.

Frank; I disagree that the late model six won't fit into the breadbox Rambler. I
have seen those years, and the earlier bathtubs, with AMC sixes, V8s, generic
GMs, and on and on.
The latest abortion
featured in a magazine was a Ferrari engine-tranny combo in
a bath tub American wagon.
A real popular swap is a complete GM S-10 frame and engine-tranny swap into an
early American, man you gotta be really into that combo for all the work
involved. But there is one running around here that is really nice. He even
airbrushed the side trim on the car. Looks nice but it is a garage queen.
Now the question remains; how determined are you and how much dough do you wanna
toss at it.
The 64 is easy, comparably, and I think I pointed that out. I just used the
existing 83 Xmembers and treated it like a 65. I used an electric fan to get
away with that prob.
But to say it can't be done, come on!! I have seen Hemis in Fiats and 500 Caddys
in Chevetts. If he is serious then he needs to take a serious look at the car,
do some measuring and peek at his wallet. Then decide

You're right Russ, it (anything!) can BE done. But unlike most AMC to AMC
swaps, it's a Big Deal. I have one (two) of 'em, and motors, and a tape
measure, and I can tell you for certain, ain't no way to shoe-horn one in
there without MAJOR sheet metal hackery. Frank says 5" but I think more like
9" more room needed. The 195.6 is far shorter than normal, and the car is
literally built around it; the 232/258 is I think the longest US passenger
car engine when it was in production. Not a good pairing.
That's all. It could be done. And that Ferrari, the motor was in the wagon
back! If it was in front, it woulda gone all the way to the back seat.
The early American is this small: with my palms gripping the steering wheel,
I ca
n EASILY put my fingers on the windshield glass. That's small!
(Oh man would I love to have an early american with a 232 in it. I think the
2.5L four-banger is the way to go. Yeah, it's missing two holes but the
other four are real AMC holes.)
I think the bias here is, we tend to think in terms of what we can wrench at
home and drive daily, so that lowers my threshold for extreme hacking.

joe, thanks for the photos of where yours is. i will look on mine. it may just
be covered in junk.
i thought i had gone over this last nov when i pulled caspers motor about the
crank butt... the early volcano wont work with the 63 later torque converter.
casper has the volcano crank. flywheel sits over it. torque converter needs the
flat mount to reach the flex plate. needs to sit almost completely up against
bolt surface of the crank. i have 2 pre 63 cranks. the pilots are also bigger
for the post 63, well, auto anyway, i understand from what i have read that post
63 manuals are the same size pilot as the auto. would make sense to me... just
one pilot to use. (rambler mentality even at the top???? lol)

The "S" could mean it's a service block. The rest of the code translates to

nb. all 250s have the sbf pattern. very late 200s do too, but missing
the center top bolt because they're so low; most have a small pattern
shared with the 170 and taking only a 9"-ish clutch. amc content:
stock bellhousings take the ford-version t96 and t150 toploader; i
don't think there was ever one for the sr4/t4/t5 but there certainly
are adapters, courtesy of the mustang fraternity.
up to about '65, the 144/170/200 had 4 mains like the 196, 7 in later
170/200. the 250 always had 7.
the stock 200 probably isn't up on the ohv 196 for power, but it
weighs a whole lot less; i wouldn't wonder if it was more than 100
lbs - '60s tech vs. '30s. and while the stock head with cast-in
intake is comparable, there's the cool aussie/argentinian ford 12-port
head, the cooler aussie crossflow redesign, and the coolest aussie
ohc/efi re-redesign. the 12-port is a straight swap though its
matching 2bbl intake is way too wide for an early american; the
crossflow can be adapted to north american blocks with a little work,
similar to a 4.0 head on early 258s. btw the ohc is based on the 250
but shrunk a bit down to 4.0L.
i think one could adapt the efi from a late 300 to the 250 or 200
without much problem. you'd have to start with the 12-port or
crossflow heads and fab an intake, but you'd have to fab an intake
anyways for the narrow american - a swoopy 300 style would look and
fit well! scaling the injectors
to the smaller engine isn't hard and
there must be an appropriate throttlebody from some ford v6.
--
another short modern straight six is the mopar slant, but leaned over
as it is - 30* - it's not very narrow. trannies used with it are
afaik all new process until the late '70s when mopar also used the
t150, but with a mopar bolt pattern.
