Re: [AMC-list] 232 in 64 American ?

" From: wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx

" Should fit by following the same recipe as the 65. The 232 was introduced
" in the 64 Classic, so they knew it was coming. 
" To swap into 65 you need 
" Cross member and mounts, or make your own. 

can be from any 199-232 american or 6cyl hornet/gremlin/concord/spirit.

" Water pump and pulley, short used in 64-65 Americans and early 70's cj jeeps. 

'65 american [232] only; all 232-258 jeeps '65-'74 afaik

" Flip the radiator brackets to move the rad forward. 
" The auto trans from the 64 may work as-is or you may need to do a converter
" swap. The starter was moved out from crank center line to clear the block.

you'd need a 290/304 converter housing [assuming m40 and m30 bolt
patterns are the same] and flex plate, which you'd have to rebalance.  

and the starter is on the other side from '64-'71 199/232/258, but i'm
not sure where it is on the 196.

" Manual trans? Probably needs a fly wheel and bell swap, but. I'm not sure. 

yup.  t14 used up to '76 with sixes and 304 has the same bolt pattern.

if it's a stick, i'd also be tempted to swap a t14 and driveshaft from
a '67-'70 american or javelin 232, and a non-big-nut rear from a '65-6
232 or '67-9 any six american, and maybe also 10" brakes - v8 fronts,
spirit amx / concord wagon rears.
