68 AMX motor update

[@gregh7457]

don't forget to change out the brake proportioning valve when you switch over to disc brakes on the front. back in the 70's i did the same swap and fortunately my high school auto shop teacher explained what needed to be done to get it to stop straight. otherwise i was seriously thinking about putting the drums back on

Thanks, I have looked at a few options for that. I'm not sure what I'll use yet. But it will need something.

is the 401 crank .steel forged like the 390s,??? and those heads are supposed to flow really well-- for headers i ordered the American racing headers ...ugh everything is so expensive..but those also took 4/5 months i called and asked for a update .. and said . you guys must be being really really careful because you tig welding 1 pipe every week in a half LOL

[@4speedkid]

Yes, the 401's are steel as well. What year is your car?

@@4speedkid i had a 1969 javelin back in 1987 with the 390 and put a offenhauser 2x4 on it rebuilt bigger cam/headers ect ( i ordered the intake from Jc whitney 0 And always wanted one again -- so got another 1969 javein but with the 290... yanked that out and had a guy Sc397 Build me a 390--oiling mods under the intake ect but resto modding it with updated running gear and tranny and blah blah blah .. ( living on costco pallets of top ramen) because my old javelin Used to break the automatic tranny constantly and i spun the axles ( but then you could goto a junk yard and find them ) This time .....im making it so stuff wont break ( crosses fingers. ) love your build man .. looking forward to the progress. .Im jealous --- but i have a hard time leaving things stock
