As Ive said, I dont follow trends. You were obviously blessed with a 
job that allows you to make decisions as to what to use, me, I wasnt. 
Im not building a 100 point AMC classic here. Im fullfilling a Dream 
to have a fairly quick, nice looking ride on a budget. At any time 
someone wants to donate a good AMC engine or sponser me, I'll gladly 
drop in whatever YOUR budget allows, until then, I'll drive and enjoy 
what I can. Let me know which one of ya who's loosing sleep over my 
powerplant wants to donate an engine and I swear on my life, I'll 
switch em over. Now lets see how important it is to everyone....... 
Im waiting. Rod
