Hi Colin - 


I'm here in New Paltz, across the River from your local -

Poughkeepsie in the 1970s' was the place to go for Machine Shops -
Jocko's was then a leader in rebuilding - another shop over next
to Joes' Nite Club had a Dyno Room.

With Racing moved to this side of the River - Middletown NY is the
place I'd look for an engine rebuilder - Interstate Rte. 84east to 
Middletown - Rte. 17 toward Monticello - first Rte. 211 exit on right 
- off ramp turn Left -at the very least you want a shop that has 
TORQUE PLATES for an AMC / JEEP 360.

Having a Torque Plate Hone done, along with fresh rings , polish the
crank journals & fresh bearings / new timing chain & gear set / fresh
engine seals would be the way to go.

Call a few Middletown Speed Shops - ask them for a recommendation
on a JEEP  V8 engine rebuilder - we've plenty of Jeepers in the 
Valley - see who has a Dyno Room during the conversation.

Your heads will need new valve seals at minimum - lapping in the 
valves might be done gratis at a local High School that runs a Auto 
Mechanix program - most do - .
