[CJ]

what one is that? I use crazedlist.org, but it is limited for narrow regional searches.

I'll get that when I get home from work...

No luck in the yards?
To bad your not local to me there are about dozen AMC types in the local yard.
I know a couple have to be 401's.

FWIW, crazedlist only works on non-IE platforms like firefox.

EDIT, and your search is tons better than crazedlist, don't bother loading it.

LOL - What I meant is I would get the 'Name' for you when I got home... You already have it and as you stated - it works great!

Well, I take what I said back... That is not what I use. I use Cragslist Reader (free version) by CraigsPal. It's not browser dependent and runs as a stand alone application.

I have a very good AMC 360 with all accessories ( a/c compressor, p/s pump, alternator, etc) with an automatic Transmission attached. It is out of a '77 Matador. The price is $500., subject to prior sale. It has been on a shelf for ten years inside.

Thanks Dieter and welcome to the site!

While I appreciate the offer I'm dead set on a 401, I want the forged crank and rods...

Umm... That thing is ROUGH! I'll pass...

 

[CJ]

Well... I found this in C FL not to far from my Brother... I have contacted the owner and have a reply, now to decide if it's feasible or now...

AMC 401 engine

 

[mylittlecj5]

He says its an AMC motor that originally came from an International??? I didn't think the bolt pattern interchanges between the 2 families.
I know a AMC 304 International is NOT the same as a AMC 304 ..a buddy of mine tried to install one in his CJ7 and got as far as pulling the 2 engines.

Re-reading the ad, I guess maybe that International used an AMC engine that one year?

 

[LongHorn]

AMC 304 is a lot larger externally than a AMC engine. They in no way interchange. the AMC 304 International is related to the 345-392 truck engine family.

 

[LongHorn]

International did use the AMC 232 i6 - AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l six cylinder in the Scout for some time,

 

[CJ]

Yep - I had him give me the casting #s, 3198951 (block) and 3216090 (heads), that is a 73 vintage.

Kinda high for the ol' budget, but parting it out wouldn't be too hard...

1978 Jeep Wagoneer w/ 401.. Myrtle Beach, SC - International Full Size Jeep Association

 

[CJ]

That is a great looking Wagoneer... I don't think I could bear to part that one out!

 

[CJ]

Well, snagged the 401. Good price and the best part is that he will meet me half way so I only have to drive about 2 hrs!

 

[mylittlecj5]

COOL! Can't wait for that build...



I may have a line on one myself, If I can talk the guy into selling just his parts truck
