4.0L in a 69 American
Posted: February 13th, 2008, 10:29 pm
Thought I'd grab the first post!
My car is a 1969 AMC Rambler.
Engine is a 1995 4.0l with a mild ported head, 1987 4.0L cam.
The shortblock was a warranty pull from a Jeep dealer because the engine was noisy. The shortblock had 8,000 miles on it when Chrysler decided they did not want it returned and it was given to me! I did nothing to it but clean it up, install the cam and head and run it. First generation was holley 390cfm four barrel on a clifford intake and an AMC T4 trans. Second generation got a complete 91 Wrangler fuel injection system and a swap to a T5.
All of this stuff bolts in pretty easily with a little enginuity. :] Runs great.
I have been around for awhile, I got messed up on a bicycle ride 18 months ago, broke my neck/back/my right collarbone. as Of right now I'm recoverying from partial shoulder replacement surgery and waiting.
Anu questions,
Just ask,
