I have been seriously toying with the idea of putting the 360 and T-5 from the Green car in my wagon.  It doesn't make much sense to have my best engine sitting in a car that sees maybe 500mi a year.  Besides the wagon really needs the overdrive for all the road trips I make.  I think my mileage would stay about the same as the six if I get the injection tuning right.  That along with the OD.  If I get that swapped out, maybe I'll make a run down the track.  It will be slow as January syrup, but who cares.

Jock actually races a stock 4 door Ambassador and actually won the event one year (welcome to bracket racing!) so you don't have to be fast... just consistent!   Hope you can bring the kids again Mick... no matter what you drive!  Tell them I said howdy! 

I think the setup you have in the wagon would actually do better offroading in the green car.. a littl lighter and better centered than the V8... and I would LOVE to hear the roaring thunder heading down the highway in the Wagon!

Wow, I am getting excited already and it's only January!

E ya!

They're all being exclusionists......

j/k ;)

We'll have to plan an awesome CO meet at some point... I tried to last year but it just didn't work out. Now I live in a ghetto apartment in a bad part of Greeley, so I definitely couldn't host one. However, I'm sure all us CO guys can come up with something ;) Perhaps have fulsizjeep plan out a few drives after which we can work out a dining venue or something. After all, there is much more to this state than the parking lot of a chain restaurant :)
Everything I build is trail ready, not parking lot material, ready when you are

lets just say we have decent offroad park here called PMI (Pueblo Motorsports Park). most people take dirtbikes and quads out there but there are quite a few people who take four wheel drives (mostly trucks) out there.

We need to find the certificate for the Jeep wheels that I had as a door prize in one of the bags and take it out before the meet.  I do not have the wheels anymore.  I sold them to a guy with an AMC Wrangler who needed them.

I corresponded with Mavericke via text message.  The Midwest International Meet will be September 8-10, 2011 in Abington/Galesburg, Illinois. 

This is the same weekend as The 33RD. AMC NATIONALS sponsored by NAMDRA will be Sep. 8-10, 2011 at Cordova Dragway Park, Cordova, IL

We will be headed to the AMC Nationals at some point during the weekend. 

Should we start a new thread that can be used for the schedule and maybe an RSVP?  We're 7 months out from this event.
