Re: [Amc-list] AMC V-8's in Atlanta

["Jim Blair" <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I bring my own hoist with me. $100 fold away model that fits nicely in the 
back of my shortbox Comanche (I just washed all the grease off it from 
bringing home the 2wd AW4 last week and the HUUUUGE Wisconsin powered 
Devilbiss compressor I just bought plus a core 4.2L) I have to take the back 
bumper from my '73 J4000 (with 5 point class 4 hitch and steel bumper that 
has taken many loading dock and runaway car hits with minimal damage) to put 
on my '83 J10 (it's also getting the J4000's rear axle I swiped from a '76 
J20 and 8 lug front brakes with some of the old springs added for weight 
capacity)
   Tomorrow I get to check out a 5 ton Ford flatbed (sans motor/trans) that 
will get the 304 and 727/NP208J, D or F tcase (whichever will work best!) 
and later a Jtruck cab to make it a real FSJ tow/junk hauling truck!

(I think I'm biting off a bit more than I can chew this month, but my son 
didn't come to visit this week to help with my cabin, so I have a few days 
to myself to waste till my birthday thursday!) I'm definitely going to get 
the AMC Spirit's 9" rear brakes replaced by thursday. That way it'll be 
rolling again (I got the broken doorhandles replaced yesterday and just need 
to lube the mechanisms to keep them from breaking again)
   Until my buddy called me a few minutes ago about the flatbed, I had been 
planning to drop the 999 in the Spirit (maybe start installing the AW4) and 
T5 from the J10. Found parts for the T5 today (maybe. '88 S10 trans with 
nearly snapped off output shaft and no 5th gear for free) but I'm thinking 
I'm going to just swap out to an automatic now. (while I still have some of 
my 77 driveshaft collection left. Damn thieves!)

Sounds  fantastic, nothing like that around here. Makes me want
to jump in my
van  and head East. One question though. How would I get the
engine  and
transmission out of the car and on my trailer? I can't do it by
myself.
Would the yard crew help or what? When you say sans accessories
does that
mean "bare?" What would I have to buy/find to make it run? If I
can get a
good one for a reasonable price I might buy it and store it
until  I'm ready
to put it in the Gremlin.


Oh GAWD,no one answer this question please,people who rode or
ride the  short
bus now this already dude!
