Technical What are you working on?

Or I will unsubscribe and never look at this thread again

 

Sorry couldn't resist

 

Congrats Scott & Welcome to the dark side!

I have 3 AMC's, one of which has the same 327 (66 Ambassador), another has the smaller 287 (66 Ambassador) which are both technically "Hamb Friendly" because they are exactly the same as the '65's The 3rd is an OT 67 Marlin.

Unfortunately NO speed parts are available for it! No headers, no intake, etc & even the cast iron 4 bbl manifold sells for around $400.00!

Have fun with it!!!!

God Bless
Bill

The plans are to NOT hot rod it i just want a cruiser that i’m not afraid to park in a parking lot. Plus the wifey will be more likely ride around with me in a mellow car

 

It’s not?

 

THAT'S WEIRD....

 

Build a nose bleed gasser!

 

Yep, straight axle

 

Must be period correct though

 

I smell what you fellows are stepp'n in and i like it!

 

Mechanical injected 327??? For easy cruising?.... yes!

 

And a clutchflite

 

4:56 gear?

 

Mrs Scotty T: "we can't have nuthin nice!"

 

I think I got his last one, sitting in my garage right now. LOL!!! With a mechanical Hilborn on it, too.

 

About the middle of January you're gonna get the itch to start fuckin' with it, then all bet's are off!

 

And, we will all remember how you weren’t going to hot rod it.

 

Ok now i’ve got to get rid of the Kenosha caddilac before i mess it up

 

He Won't be able to look at that car with a clear mind again

 

^^^^^Well done boys....

 

I’d drive it! Wait, I need to come up with a signature line and quit stealing Anthony’s. @anthony myrick
Ok, I’d cruise the $&@# outa that!!

Actually, it’s a very cool car, Congratulations Scotty T!

 

Oh, I did get the blown BBC back running again Saturday. Seems like it is doing good so far. No time for break in, or I guess I broke it in riding some wheelies (which is another story).

On that note, I guess I am nearly famous now since I was in the Wall Street Journal last week because of this deal.

 

Well I dragged home this steaming pile of awesomeness today, if you consider that work.
Plan is to use this under my 26 T Roadster project. Not sure if I'll run the A fenders or T but Ive got options now.
The frame & front end was what I was after.
Probably sell the wheels to recoupe some $.

 

Finally got the correct transmission from MDL and got the pack squared away on the mounts.

 

hopefully the last time i need to attempt adjusting these for the next 10k miles

My current project is working on getting over the loss of my mother on Tuesday. If anyone wants me I’ll be in the corner grieving.

 

My condolences on the loss of your mother.

 

I’m so sorry. I lost my Dad one year ago. I understand how you feel.

 

Wow, so sorry to hear that. Praying for comfort.
