Re: [Amc-list] building my 70'sst javelin

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

He did say USED parts, meaning he's on a budget! In that case I can see the attraction of using the 440 on hand. As others pointed out, and even he admitted, installing the 440 could be as costly as getting a good AMC engine. Personally I'd put the 440 up for sale and buy the AMC parts. If this were a Rebel/Matador/Ambo I'd drop the 440 in -- there's more room and exhaust wouldn't be a problem -- big body Mopar headers should fit easily. The Javelin is only slightly wider than a small car though, and can be tight with headers even on an AMC engine.

I can't believe there is anyone on this list saying they are having a hard time finding speed or stock parts for an AMC engine.  What do you need????
