Got it out today, just need to pull the motor mounts and paint the frame.

4-10-2013

Waiting on some small tools and metal to come In so I can make the final burn ins on the frame.

So I decided to turn my attention to the amc360 at first I was gonna reman the heads, all new gaskets, new cam kit, springs, lifters, double roller chain , new chain cover new Intake and carb.

But since money is tight and the engine runs good we will just drop it in as is.

Problem was a broke header bolt, broken off down in the head I first welded a small washer to it carfuly not weldin the bolt to the head, then i welded a nut to the washer and took my time easing it out. Took about 30 minutes not to bad and now I don't have to pull the head and pay a machine shop to do it.

It's funny how the easiest jobs can turn out very difficult, and the tough jobs can turn out very easy.
