I'll use it in a future street car.

Of course I like to make things much more complicated by taking the front wheels and disc brake system pieces off before trying to load a car on a trailer. No way would I want something to wench right up on a trailer able to steer on some rolling wheels, as you have seen from previous part-outs on this thread.
Those brake and mounting pieces were sold off to a fellow AMC'er to allow him to put disc brakes on a 70 Hornet project he had.

Next step is to tear down this latest 6 cylinder and get the block to the machine shop for a good check-up and see what we have to work with.
i generally get the car on the trailer and THEN pull the brakes and suspension stuff


uhhh your buddy doen't have a 73 rear bumper,does he?
