A: I have a beautiful day off here in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle) and I've been working out in my yard in short sleeved shirt trying to clean and organize all my excess parts for an upcoming swap meet (probably for naught as I doubt I will get the weekend off I need but there are more later this summer). I'll be loading up an '80 4.2L (last of the tin valve cover motors) that has a rod out the side (from an '80 Cherokee full size) in a few minutes and was wondering if anyone could use the head? (It'll replace '81 to '86 and maybe later, but those had aluminum covers) The shape of the head changed after this year which will not allow the plastic cover to fit. I also pulled all the Vee belt accessories off it to sell (PS pump and brackets with steering box, Delco alternator bracket for non-AC. I have the AC one around somewhere too from an Eagle I parted ) I have a couple '91 4.0L HO blocks for cores (ran, but had low oil pressure/compression, and I put the HO heads on other projects) $25 each, and they even have some minor accessories left (AC mount and idler) I have an '88 non-HO 4.0L head I pulled off my Comanche $25 (head gasket was starting to leak, so I swapped heads for less down time) I have decided to put the 727 from the '80 FSJ into my '73 J4000 along with a Chev NP208 (as soon as I can afford the Tcase rebuild kit and driveshafts for the swap) From: AMC74Hornet@xxxxxxxxx Subject: {FORGED?} A Lot Of Cabin Fever Here. To: mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <ADVANCES62M6R88Q0d600003523@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Anybody but a few of us working on our cars? After collecting/repairing and making new interior parts for my new Hornet for the last year it is finally in the shop for a final dissassembly and parts painting before starting to go back together in the next few weeks. Parts have come from people here, local friends, Ct. AMO swap meets over the years, the people at Bart's group Badd A$$ Gremlins and from people I was steered to that were selling parts on eBay, thanks everyone. Other parts came from A.J. and Kennedy. Finally the 500$ really clean car body wise with many mechanical problems is a nice driver after spending 4,500$ repairing them and around 2,000$ for a new interior is almost done. It will be a nice driver. The car has parts in it from N.Y., N.J. Texas, Alabama, Ct., California, Penn. Florida, Mass, N.C., and Canada. I can't wait to finish the interior so I can start working on my other Hornet in the spring, that one I bought new 31 years ago the 12th of this month.
