Eddie- Again thanks for posting my needs on installing 4.0 heads on net and for good parts contacts. I got some good info but I need your advice on reinstalling my 258 -6 back in Eagle. First;it was a learning experience since I didn't know engine and trans. were installed before body put on. Explains why it was almost impossible to find and get 3 upper rear engine/trans bolts out. Had a long fingered friend with a Gear flex rachet wrench get them out. Then I find out there is hardly any space to pull engine with portable hoist. Rear wiring and wiper motor in way. From the manual I got from you ;it doesn't show or address these problems.Had to strip engine down and remove RH engine/axle mount brkt to get engine to clear LH brkt. Now I need 4/6 cans of engine or exterior Honey Gold paint to redo engine area and touch up some minor rust/paint repairs. Also,need 2 cans of 73 AMC Hornet engine aqua paint. Do you have both? How much? Amazed that at 103K;only T/C set worn with nylo
 n teeth still intact. #1 AND #6 ROD BRGS. STILL LOOK NEW WITH SOME PISTON RING WEAR AND CAM/LIFTER WEAR.Now-BIG QUESTION,what is simplest way of rebolting up A/T to back of engine? NO room. Where can I get good engine pics of how all engine brkts. and items go together since I had help on disassembly. Cleaning and repainting it all. Any tricks or advice that I need to know when removing all emissions which are mostly gone. I'm installing a 4.0 #7120 head wit tubular header that i had to notch Clifford #4500 alum. intake and cut off tabs over 4 mtg. holes plus rattail area to clear bolts better. Installing  Howard reground cam with lifters,T/C,frt. A/T seal, reworked 4V Holley, and new HEI dist. setup plus single to dual muffler with 1 3/4 " pipes in front of rear wheels like my Shelby. will service A/T,A/C,P/S and rad. for starts. Do you know or have any 1/2" head bolt bushings or new head bolts for 4.0 head conversion.? How much? Anything I need to know now that I don't kno
 w? Got back to work in 7 weeks after triple bypass and doing OK with the LORD's Help. Thanks again. God bless you and your family and take good care of them. Love in Christ- TED"FORDMAN" EHRHARDT FORDMANTED@xxxxxxx -608-985-7360 PS wish I had funds to attend Mich. show. Still can't get order thru AMO site
