A: Won't the AW4 bellhousing bolt onto the Toyota 5 speed auto? (reason I ask is because I may be going the opposite way with a diesel motor into a Jeep) From: "Brien Tourville" <hh7x@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 24 Dec 2004 15:24:25 -0500 Subject: !

On the AMC Front: I've located an Original '71 Gremlin Sunroof & OEM manufacturer (recently bought out) in England - and a stash of their NOS later production sliding rag-t0p kits. The NOS units have a large roof opening of 36"x36" and will be viewing the Original one - still installed in a Gremlin roof clip - sometime after Xmas - sorta' reminds me of the 1950 Nash Convertible. I WILL be tying the Uni-Body sub-frames together & brazing all the seams The NOS units have a flip up Air Spoiler - a *Nice* real world touch , - is New and probably won't leak - but the thought of having 'an Original' has me travelling a few Counties over to view the Clip, which still has the Sunroof headliner installed, hmm....... wonder what I should do ........ The 6 speed Lexus Automatic Trans is getting an Adapter to mate it to the 258 - which has a 4.0 EFi intake / GM Turbo ECM - & I just may whack the plenum area off to mount a large round canister plenum to the runners & mount the TB at one end - rather than having the TB on top - we'll see later. Other 'in the works' item is a 'Different' Grille for the Kammback. Maybe an 'Aero' look - something akin to the AMC Turbo car - with hideaway headlamps....... easier to clean the Bugs off ..... I WAS able to finally locate one of the later AMC CB-am-fm Radios - with the large 'Block' style faceplate rather than the more plentiful rectangle of which I now have Five of, soon to be eBay'ed - and - I lucked into a NOS wire harness for it as well. Probably get a CD changer for actual Sound Production - as the AMC unit looks Ancient! ......and I'm still looking for a 2dr. Power Window switch set-up & harness. So that is the Yearly AMC Update, what is whaa? on my Kammback Build - 'Have a Happy Motoring Holiday' - and "Here's to 'ya"! ~~! Brien. NEW YORK eagle registry #501 eagle kammback registry
