Does the T89 have the short or long input?
I'd be interested, but the next build is set on an automatic.
I've been doing some heavy reading on truck arm rear suspensions.
I'm thinking of using one to de torquetube the Ambassador.
If I decide to get that involved with it.
The recovery from the neck brace coming off is going to take more time then I thought. Very tiring to try and hold ones head up after that long in a brace.
Anyone want to buy a bike??? :]

Good question!
I'm thinking on this swap myself if time, health will allow.
I need to do brakes on the 97 XJ. I have new rotors and pads from Rock auto for the front. I'm hoping the rears will be good enough to wait a bit till I have enough time to do the disc swap. If not I'll end up fixing the drums.
I was not sure what to do for pads so I went with Raybestos Quiet stop ceramics.
I hope the choice is good, no real idea, anyone want to tell me I screwed up?
I've been thinking if time allows of resurfacing the front rotors that are on it and using them on the rear with some calipers to be decided. While searching for truckarm info I stumbled on clamp on rear caliper mounts! They wrap arouund the rear axle tube in two pieces and bolt together, then use waht appears to be a 3/8" bolt drilled to actually enter the axle tube to stop rotation. I'd add some weld after finishing the install to be sure, but it sure looks like an easy setup to allow for aligning things before welding!
Does anyone know what GM calipers I would look for to gain an ebrake??? and be not to god awfull expensive!

Re: SUVs/trucks/etcetera: SWs and HBs make sense, but most have vanished from our roads. Grow up, America. SUVs are big wagons, on car or truck platforms, two or four wheels driven, and wagons are squared-off hatchbacks.
The most sensible of those in America once had names like Saab, Scorpio, Sterling, Sportabout, and Rover (and with a V-8, it was UK PDs' Caprice, Crown Vic, or Matador of choice); America had a Mopar 5d HB* that was so good looking, it almost didn't look like a HB. But since most 'Mericans thought (still do) that any roomy HB --- no matter how big and luxurious and powerful --- must be a [yuck, yuck!] economy [Rambler?] car, that H-body HB did not succeed. The P-body did not see enormous success either (despite lower price points); so it was outsold by A- and L-bodies, and its superstar successor, gen one Neon, offered with bad rear visibility instead of good rear liftback. Even trusty Toyota stopped making sense: remember when a Camry was offered to America as both 5d wagon and 5d HB?
Had AMC proffered it to us, Lerma would have been another LeBaron GTS: just another smart car that N. Americans were too dumb to want to own.
*And if you know -all- your AMC history, you know why it was cancelled.

His Warner lot/Burbank FD '41 American LaFrance 600 is a big enough truck; moreover, its 754ci V-12 is bigger than a CXT 466ci diesel, is bigger than the 456ci V-12 in his '32 Packard (similar to this '34),
http://www.earthflix.com/stories/packard.php
bigger than the '31 Pierce 462ci V-12 (which had seven bearings, not four, as did both Packard and Cadillac --- whose 1930 V-12 was 368ci when Franklin's was 398ci; and Lincoln's V-12 ci 414

http://k41.pbase.com/u39/xl1ken/upload/25286246.DSCN7502.jpg
I'd like to take that thread further: why didn't Nash, Hudson, Chrysler, Studebaker, Cord --- not to mention Duesenberg --- build V-12s or V-16s?
It's very interesting and it relates to what AMC did and didn't do. But for now, them's just the truckin' facts. "Enough!" said Sarge. Yessir.
If 265/40s on 24s aren't enough big bling, drive an EMD: AT&SF F7.
http://www.sdrm.org/roster/diesel/emd/history/sf-347.jpg
And BTW, whenever you see the "coves" on '69-up Ambassador "Power Dome" hood stampings, consider how close American Motors came to continuing a significant strand of automotive history. A '16 Twin Six is considered the world's first production V-12 (424ci). A little green plastic copy of this exact car -model- was, oddly enough, my first -model- car. Age three or four, I wanted a Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop model: I had no idea what that funny looking old car might be. Something only old men liked, something I found wholly uninspiring. Who cared about dumb old things?

Since no one will bother --- again --- to answer, I'll do your work.
*In order to obtain Jeep, Chrysler had to guarantee to sell a certain quantity of AMC-Renault cars, to buy a certain amount of AMC-Renault parts, and to abstain from direct model competition in certain areas. Its mid/large "euro-sedan" market would be filled by the Renault-AMC Eagle Premier (a later Dodge Monaco was badge-engineered in hopes of raising volume and lowering per-unit production costs) and its mass-sales mid-sedan market would be filled by solely by Chrysler models. The H-car was killed for America's R25; the LH-car followed; K-cars entered the last stretch of their lives: the AA-body met the masses. When it had no more Spirit and garnered no more Acclaim, it, like a proud Packard had about 50 years before it, it was sent to the Reds.
Not to Boston, Cincinnati, or to Rochester [whose Red Wings are AAA], but Beijing, where it was to be built by Jeep. But, unlike the 180,

My personal preference for any engine swap into the 64-65 would be the 4.0L based six. It has a lot of advantages over the older sixes.
A few off the top of my head.
Aluminum valve cover [they did go to steel in 90's]
Serpentine belt system [ignore the others here, run an elctric fan setup!]
Modern trans hookup is easy, AW4 overdrive automatic, or T-5 swap are good choices.
Easy addition of EFI if wanted. [not real easy, but worth the work]
Carbed intakes are failry easy to install also.
If your a hotrodder you can install a 258 Crank and rods and stroke it.
It will out perform a stock 290 or the 287 any day of the week!
If you want the original appeal
and a V-8 the 287 would make a nice retro swap. I'm hoping to do a 327 swap into a 65! If you don't know I already have the 4.0L, T5 combo in my 69 Rambler [American].

i think if you have a d35 rear with abs - maybe even without - the
easiest swap is the zj setup, complete with halfshafts. it all slips
in and it's all stock parts [think repair]. my only outstanding
question is the e-brake cables, as the disks want a different end than
the drums have.

Scroll to the bottom of the page. Only problem I see is they are almost without a doubt designed for 3" tubes.

I want to thank everyone on the list who
took so much time to make suggestions
and to document the options I have to
upgrade my '69 American SW.
It seems that the T-14 w/ OD is the way
to go, in terms of reliability and
simplicity to swap for the existing T-14
(behind a 232-6).
The issue now, is where to find one? If
anyone has any leads, please let me know.
I live in SE Georgia, just north of
Jacksonville, Florida. I am flying to
Baltimore this weekend to drive a Dodge
pickup back that I bought there. I also
have vehicles in New Mexico and
Colorado that could be used to haul the
tranny back if somewhere in those
areas.
Again, thanks!
Jay Honeycutt

Scroll to the bottom of the page. Only problem I see is they are almost without a doubt designed for 3" tubes.
