The red/wht/blue ones: I like the one with the red on the top (but that's my preference)

I'll second this. Wanted to say something along these lines yesterday.

AMERICA!

i'm leaning towards one of the red, white, and blue ones with the blue on top. i personally don't like the color red and blue is one of my favorite colors.

Hey maddog, have you ever been to that junkyard off 47th an hwy 50. I just noticed it today on my way back from Rock Ford. It looked like its descent size

maddog · September 30, 2011, 02:32:59 AM

yes i have and that is actually about 5 or 6 junk yards in the same area and none of them have any AMC's.

shanebo · September 30, 2011, 02:42:57 AM

well the guy i bought survivor from was finally able to get to get to the extra complete drive train that came with her. the eagle that the drivetrain came from was totaled after being broadside on the right front. he said it was either an 84 or 85 wagon. we used a cherrypicker to unload the engine from the back of the truck. well as my as my dad was moving to truck forword the cherrypicker decided that it didn't want to stand up any more and fell forward it don't look like it did much damage but i won't really be able tell till my next day off.

shanebo · January 15, 2012, 11:08:02 PM

Are You going to start work on Survior again maddog? That sucks that the cherry picker fell over dude...these things are pretty tough though...it should be fine

maddog · January 15, 2012, 11:39:06 PM

yeah now that it is getting slightly warmer out I've decided that i need to get some work done on her so that i can start driving her. the only problem with the other engine besides the fall is the fact that it has a slight crack in the outside water but it can be fixed so I'm going to completely redo it.

shanebo · January 15, 2012, 11:59:40 PM

If ya need an extra set of hands give me a hollar dude.

maddog · January 16, 2012, 12:02:35 AM

right on dude if i need any help I'll let you know. oh and the as for the spare motor can you say stroker.

shanebo · January 16, 2012, 12:07:18 AM

Heck yeah....build it and drop it in Eagle Eyes! You thinking of doing a 4.0 head swap on it?

maddog · January 16, 2012, 12:21:41 AM

yep with a motorcraft swap. but i want to get me a sport model to drop it in.

maddog · September 30, 2012, 03:41:49 AM

i haven't done anything to survivor in a long time other than trying to fine tune the carb and taking her for a few test drives. i have some bad news about my spare motor and that is that it was stolen out of my yard, but here is the weird thing they didn't take the spare transmission and transfer case that were right near it.

so i no longer a have a spare to turn into a stroker.

shanebo · September 30, 2012, 05:36:10 AM

Dude, Im sorry to hear that! Id be willing to bet the

jerks probably stole it to scrap for some beer money...And Ill also bet if they had a few more buddies with them they would have probably grabbed the trans. and t-case too. I had a couple of spare doors and fenders in my yard a few years back and they too vanished...Ironically when scrap prices spiked.
