I am currently replacing my AMC 360 with a 302. I have learned alot but am having one heck of a time finding a starter that fits. It is an 86 ford 302, the bell housing is an 84 f-150 and the flywheel is 157 tooth that Novak adapters said to use. I have tried three different starters and all of...

To start with this will not be a quick rebuild, I already have a 302 in the machine shop. The motor lost a bearing on main while I was out a couple weeks ago, and I now have come up with the time to start the removal. The pics below are as it sits right now, I will keep posting pics as we get...

For all the AMC proficient individuals out there. I believe I spun a bearing on Sunday, have a very loud tick now, motor runs but not well, it did get me home tho!

I haven't had any leaks from the rear end and went out to the garage this morning and found a spot approximately six inches square. It is coming from the pinion area. To fix this can I instal a new pinion bearing, seal etc? I am looking for a new rear end to get rid of the 20 but need this one...

Afternoon Gents, A while back I posted for assistance finding the timing mark for my AMC 360. I believe SteelHeadz responded advising the mark should be at the one O clock position. Now here is my dilemma/question: 1. I found the mark at eleven o clock facing the front of the engine, if you look...

Quick question, I am building a stroked 302 :lol: for the CJ, Currently have a T-176 Transmission. Will these mount together or will I need to get a new bellhousing? Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon to all, I have not had a need to post for a while until now. My son and I are starting a new engine build.

I need some assistance, I am trying to check the rear brakes as I have 1 wheel holding with the e-brake on. My manuals (Haynes) does not specify how to remove the drum.

Good day to all, Subject veh:1982 CJ7, While coming home Sat night with the low beams on, the headlights turned off, all of the marker lamps, driving lights stayed on. I turned the headlights off then back on to no avail, the only way to get them burning again was to turn the high beams on and...

Well X-Mas is around the corner and as the Jeep is my son and mine, I am considering beefing up the rear end for him as a x-mas present. My question is: With the AMC 20 would I be smarter to brace the center chunk and axel tubes, get a locker and alloy 1 piece axels? Or get a 8.8 or some other...

Well it is time to tackle the steering issue. The issue is as follows: The steering wheel is very "loose" driving down the road, I.e. have to move it 3-4 inches to start moving the steering box. I have checked what I call the intermediate shaft (steering shaft) from the column to the steering...

Can anyone suggest literature/books/resources for one to teach themselves to weld? I have looked into the colleges/technical schools in my area and they all have classes, they are just during the day. I was told there was not enough interest for a night class. I have seen the work from alot of...

Well after 3 months of slowly playing with the jeep, I am down to that last few items to correct/make better. 1. Where does/is the timing pointer supposed to be located? My haynes manual shows a location but the pic does not match the bolt locations on my engine? (I have not found a way to...

Good afternoon Gentlemen, I searched through the archives and was unable to locate any previous chats that addressed installing a snorkel in a CJ that has had a v-8 swap. I have a AMC 360 with a 500CFM Holley on it right now. Does anyone have pics or information on where I can find the mounting...

I have a 82 CJ7 with a AMC 360. I have an upgraded aluminum radiator, high flow water pump and standard belt driven fan. I would like to upgrade to an electric fan and have seen that the ford Taurus fan fits some jeeps. My question is will a Taurus fan pull enough air for the V-8? Right now the...

My 82 CJ7 has an AMC 360. The left exhaust manifold has cracked and I would like to replace them with headers. I want to stay with long tubes but feel that I won't be able to go with the standard type. I have looked at the headers that exit the fenderwell but am not sure what type of mods will...
