[Amc-list] 196 rebuild kit

[d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx>]

so, i got this rambler mentality infected into my next
door neighbor. thrusday night, we did the 90 mile
drive to oklahoma city and picked up a 61 classic
cross country. he paid 450 for it. 196/flash-o-matic.
i think that is the m-35 correct? anyway. head had
been taken off and machined. hardend guides and seats
installed and everything. looks really good. new
trunions. new wiper motor. new all kinds of stuff.
however. the cowel had been left uncovered. the engine
itself is SHOT. i have another 62 classic sitting out
of town with a 196 in it. going to use that lower end,
with his head. i can not find any main/rod bearings.
or a timing kit. basic rebuild stuff for the 196. can
anyone point me in a direction for main and rod
bearings atleast? he plans on later doing that 4.6
stroker kit in it with maybe a 5 speed or a later auto
with o/d. also, another question. the torque converter
that would be on this. does it have a lock up rpm? if
not, does anyone know what else would fit that would
have a lock up on it? i do not like auto's and never
have. dont know much about them. thanks for the help
and time. hope everyone is having a good weekend.
