" From: Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " '71-'73 saw the option for 304 in FSJs but most chose the 360 instead. " The early motors didn't have a crankshaft centering "ridge" around the " pilot hole like '72 up did. They used the outer edge of the crank " flange and a step in the back of the flywheel with a pilot bearing in " the flywheel. so '71 [and earlier] v8s -didn't- have a pilot hole in the crank? '71 would've seen the last bw autos in amcs, '71 the switch to mopar autos. i was thinking '73 for cjs, which hadn't had v8 power before. logical that big jeeps would've replaced the buick 350 with native power asap. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
