>Well, my 63 American project (which I'll eventually start, maybe in the next couple years anyway!) will be four cylinder powered. Unfortunately it won't be AMC though. I just bought a used Mercur XR4ti with a turbo 2.3L Ford engine, five speed, and IRS. All will be transferred to the American. I had originally planned on finding a Jeep 2.5L and using a remote mount turbo, but got the entire XR4ti at to good a deal to pass up. Don't know what five speed was used in those. I had always thought they were front drive until I saw this one! Interior is pretty tore up, but mechanically it's sound. $250 for the fully intact car was just to good to pass up! "Was running when parked". Even if the engine needs freshening up (it isn't locked up) it's a good deal! I just hope there aren't to many problems with the EFI.
