hypereagle's AMC V8 Mounting Kits

[hypereagle]

And I've been been out of the loop for a long time. Crazy work this winter.

Good to see you are back.

Would these mounts allow a large variation of engines or just the 360? I got lazy and skipped a bit of the threads

[hypereagle]

Any second and third generation engine. 290,304,343,360,390 and 401.

Going to be replacing my engine in the next few months I think. Was debating a 4.0L out of a Jeep, but this gives a few more options.

For the lazy man, which motor would be the easiest fit / find?

Around Denver, 360s seem to be the most available with 304s second.

360s were used until the end of the classic Wagoneers until '91. 401s are harder to find and in high demand. 304s were very popular as a step up from the 258 for most AMC vehicles, but they ended around '81. 360s were vary popular and should be easy to find.

[Nightpath]

The 360 became the 5.9L did it not? It seems that for someone who has already modified their Eagle to a 4.0L that this might be the next step in the evolution down the road

hey, i have an 81 kammback 2x4. interested in the mounts. [email protected]

  Hello All, been awhile.  To answer the idea of putting a V-8 in a small car, even a stock one, would be very dangerous unless you are capable of handling it.  I took a '88 Concord v-8 and transferred every part of it into a '81 Sprit, to include suspension ,trans ,rear etc. Everything fits, just have to figure out which mounting holes to use. Most of the holes are there, just have to dig them out of the dirt and grim.  Only mods I had to make is the driveshaft, was about 1" to long.
  It was heck on wheels. Couldn't get on the gas too hard or you found yourself going in a direction you didn't want to go.  Was a fun car, sorry I sold it. If it is still running it should be in the Joplin,Mo area.
  Looking for another one now, sure are scares.
