Re: [Amc-list] modern six in an old-six hole

well, if'n you get ambitious and that little 2.5l just needs a rod or piston to make it run right I can send you some!
I got two 4.0L shortblocks in my garage, one I sold the rods and pistons out of and it is the good standard bore block I'm going to build the stroker in. The second one still has it's rods and pistons and it will quite likely get scrapped at some point to clear up some space, but then again maybe not!
  Anyway the 4.0L uses the same rods and pistons as the 2.5L . So I got parts.
