Hey
folks, I came across a surprising and exciting find the other day in
distant salvage yard. It appears to be a fully intact 70 Ambassador
Coupe. It was exciting because it was ALL there!! How often
does that happen?
Of course that leads me to wonder if either no
one's interested in it or it just got there and no one's found it
yet. And, since it's fully intact, it begs the question as to why
it's there. Perhaps a problem with the drivetrain or better yet
maybe, just maybe, since the interior hood latch is broken and thus
one can no open the hood, the owner gave up on it. Do ya think??
Who knows, but there's an opportunity there...
It's likely got a V8 in
it but I don't know which one. It could be a 304, 360 or 390. I'm
thinking yes, but would that engine and transmission fit in my
'72 Gremlin assuming I had the crossmember? I hadn't planned on
putting one in my Gremlin but heck, if one falls in your lap, why
not?
Thoughts anyone?

Bill if its an Ambo,its most likely a 360 or 390 check the V.I.N and if it
says P its a 360 4v N its a 360 2 v and X its a 390 4v there were no 2v 390's
and if it ineed is a 390 you struck gold and if its a 360 you struck gold still
as the heads on it were hi comp. ones.
