Re: [AMC-list] 86 camanche info

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As mentioned, it's a baby 904 (which is pretty weak) with probably a 23 spline np207 (matching in weakness, but cheap to replace and an NP208 from an '80 to '88 FSJ (one of the options. I have at least 1 in my spare parts pile, but they don't blow up like 207s or 229s unless run out of oil)
   I was going to use the 904 from the postal jeep I had with Audi 2.0L and the 4x4 parts from an XJ trans to put a 5 cyl (or is it 6?) VW diesel motor in. 
   Too many projects said no go though. Although I have someone who wants the Eagle wagon I'm putting a 727/NP229 in and has a Toy 2LT diesel with 5 speed (truck fell apart from rust) for part trade that's tempting (I have an '86 MJ longbox, which was the only size available that year, and it's 2.8 is long gone!)

ok, i just talked to a guy tonight about an 86 camanche. its real strait and clean, inside and out. has the stupid v6/auto. i think he said 2.8 v6. what tranny would it have in it for auto? the kid said at first that it had a broken con rod. then he said he didnt know anything about cars. no hole in the oil pan/block. no battery, and to much mud/snow to drive back to try to jump it. dont know if it will turn over or not. if that v6 is toast, how hard is it to swap in a 4.0? im guessing it being a chevy motor, it would have the sbc bolt patern on the bell. so i probably need to find the engine/trans/t-case out of a cherokee?
