Davis is correct the 3196291 heads alone command
$400-$600 a pair, well worth the price of admission. The doglegs if no smogs are
$50-$100 per side. And anything original emissions like smog pump is also high
demand item. Should you decide to pass on it, let me know, I'm in Texas south of
Dallas. Also would like some photos of the vehicle itself if you can take some
digital photos and send them, not sure the yard would be interested in selling
the remainder of the vehicle after you pull the engine/trans out if you do, but
if don't maybe they would be interested in selling whole car, never know until
ask.

V8....again
Bill,
If I were you I would get right over there with the cash in hand
and if it is a 390 Buy it on the spot. That is the most sought after amc v-8
only made one year. Then there is the 401 and the machine 390
Davis
Couple
of questions.....
1) On that fully intact 70 Ambassador Coupe I
found, I
talked with the guy and he's thinking it has a 390 in
it.
Between that and the Auto trans, (assuming it all
works) he's thinking of
$400 for the pair. He's going
to check and let me know. Is that a good
price?
I have to tell you, I have qualms about taking any
parts of
a fully intact car, but I guess someone else
would if I
didn't.....
2) Is it easy to convert the regular column
shift
mechanism to that of a floor shift using a later model
floor
shift setup from one of the availble
Gremlin/Hornet/Concord setups? I've
got a non
automatic tilt steering column now that I was going to
put
in with the floor shift. I suppose I could get a
column shift tilt if I
had to.
3) Would a 401 with 4speed tranny from a '74 Javlin
easily
fit my ! '72 Gremlin? I know the V8 would, but
would the 4speed? Anything
special about that? I've
got a three speed but could go with the
four.
