Not much new, pushrods came in today so I just set them in place with the rockers.... starting to look like an engine!

Found a couple hours today to work on the engine.  Got the valves all adjusted, intake bolted down , frost plugs installed,and filled it up with oil 9 quarts....   Maybe tomorrow I'll get time to prime it and bolt on the valve covers and its done!

Interesting! Thanks! Looks like of the 3 stock 401 heads I lucked out with the better ones. What's your screen name over on the AMC forum?

Unfortunately a drunk took it out. Not me lol.

I am not part of the forum. Just popped in to look based on your question. Although I have always had a soft spot for AMC. 69 Rambler was my first car and always dreamed of cloning it into a Scrambler.
Back in the early 70's a college friend of mine owned a real 69 Rambler SCrambler. 390 4 sp. dam that thing was fast. He took on my first Challenger RT 383 and left me in the dust.  Hard to beat a lite car like a Rambler Rogue w a large displacement engine. He sold it in the 1980's for $2500.  I bet he wishes he had it now!  :stayinlane:

Engine is all done, now to bring it home and install the T56 , figure out what clutch, and hyd throwout bearing, then mill up some bracketry to mount the Mopar alternator and another Cheby power steering pump. Also the A/C compressor

I'm using the same alternator and power steering pump as I used on the Challenger as I have spares , so it's nice/easier that both cars use the same parts.

Yes. There was a phase I went through owning six classic Mustg Fstbks. The last one was a 68FSTBK390. Now I'm finishing up on a resto of my 68 AMX FSTBK 390, while the 73 Challg waits for its upgrades.
