Very cool and clean looking car. I'm putting a 4.7 stoker in my 1936 Dodge 2 door Sedan with the clifford intake and holley 390 carb.

Thanks! That thing took me forever! I had just broken my neck and back so I started shopping on ebay and buying the gauges and stuff one at a time. Then had to rework the original panel to back the aluminum gauge panel! Like I said. Thing took forever to get together and wired in!

I had not idea it would take so much work to sort it all out! Glad I did it though !

Right now it has an honest original AMC-T5 out of an 82-83 Spirit. I have a World Class T5 for in it once I go through it and change the tailhousing over to the AMC T5s.

I loved your '69 4.0 Wrambler so much I decided to copy it. Only we started with a '64 convertible. It's a shorter front so we channeled the firewall and enlarged the tunnel. Now it fits & looks sweet.
I wanted to be clear on one point. Are you running the stock rear end? Is it strong enough?
Thanks Phil

If the '64 has the same rearend as the last of the Americans it'll hold up!, dad's '67 has a 327 chevy against the stock 6 rearend, I flogged my '68 unmercifully with a HOT! 258 in it but I swapped it out for a Ford 8" when I put the 343 in it, it was cheaper than fixing the brakes on the AMC rearend, the AMC six rearend is quite stout for it's size!
