" From: Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx> " " Here's my quick, informal, pragmatic daily-driver biased, sloppy " summary of AMC wagons. " " [] " " " " 59-60 (58-60?) are the "bathtub" americans (Nash-looking); didn't the early '50s nash ramblers also look like this? " 64 redesign; modern looking-ish. I think the modern 232 fits it. not sure. the '65 upper rad support has a z so it can put the rad an additional 2" fwd, and even then the 232 used a short waterpump unique to that year and model amc only, though '65-'74 jeeps also used it. it's possible the 4.0 wp, even shorter, would clear the '64 rad. " First year you can think about putting in modern driveline without " cutting. 65-69 Americans more modern, you mean '66-9; '65 looks like the '64. " plainer, but very very handsome, bias? it's not bias when you speak the simple truth! " 01 chassis always had Hotchkiss rears, but the rear axle design ("big " nut") is Unpleasant, but easily swapped with modern. that only lasted up to the '66 199. '65-6 232 and all later are normal. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
