Default Re: Resurrecting the Rambler

The systematic build continues...I'm still accumulating pieces for the future Stocker engine build.

Feast your eyes on this jewel that's just dripping with rust, a lovely 1980 AMC Concord 4 door I bought for $100 back in about 1993 and drove home (with no brakes) that is now being dismantled so it can donate the only correct and useful pieces to me that it has left to offer: it's 258 block and crank. Somewhere under that pile of air conditioning pieces and emission hoses there's an engine. We're booked in at the machine shop early January for hot tanking, sonic check, then line boring and cylinder boring if all looks good.

You know how you sometimes find unexpected "treasures" when parting out an old car?
Found two sets of old tire chains that fit 14" tires in the trunk. Whoo-hoo!
