Dear Mike:  You probably know better if this would "work" or not, but why not have the gauges you want, to be placed in pods  stacked-within a piece that goes over the "A" pillars?  That way, you might not have to have a second dash panel.  I DO think, at some point, ALL AMC parts will be reproduced, as will those of many cars, because of 3-D replication, and, in fact, I suggest you USE, Now, a replicator to give you a dash-panel you can "go Wild" with.   Do you mean, at the back, the covering between the bumper and the trunk rear panels?   This shouldn't be hard to find/replicate.  If you find a 401 for your AMX, it's dimensionally the same as a 304 which is the same size as a 360, although why not look for a Hemi out of a recent wrecked Charger/Chrysler 300, and have better fuel-milage plus more "urge,"  when it's time for some "loud-pedal."  I think with a Hemi, you'd not need to immediately switch the rear-end, to something taller, so
 your "X" could be a "work" in progress, giving you time to search for a 9-inch Ford, that you can place and forget.   Hope this helps.  Ford/Ford vendor had an overdrive that'd fit on the 9", so you could run a 456 and over-drive it to a 315 or less, if you wanted, although you'd have to change-out/ mod the gas tank.  The front-rear weight distribution would be better with the OD bolted to the back of the 9".  JR

Hi guys I will try this again I am installing a new radio, CD player and speakers in my car 1977 Hornet AMX . I would like to get a new dash center section, where the radio and heating controls go. That way I could save my original piece for later if needed to return to stock. . I also need the panel under the rear bumper mine is in lousy shape and needs to be replaced. I would also like to get a AMC V8 Dana 20 with a limited slip for my 1978 Concorde AMX   3:15, 3:33, 3:54 gear ratio's preferred. It has a 273 open. Please contact me if you have any of these parts.
