I had a 401 in a Wagoneer that ran pretty decent. Once the Wagoneer rotted away to nothing, I sold it to a guy who put it in a Javelin. He ran 13.40s in the Javelin with the motor exactly as it was pulled from the Jeep. AMC motors are light weight & pretty much bulletproof. I’d love to build a 401 Javelin some day. > > Nice garage, too. Total spent so far including the purchase price, renting a trailer, tolls, parts, supplies, etc $2300. Less than I expected so far. Unfortunately the 304/401’s wont bolt to the trans in my car. And I’d have to fab a new rear suspension to change the trans because they use a torque tube setup. Someday that may happen but the budget isn’t there. I love the garage, but it’s my bosses. I live in an apartment in the garage and he lets me use it, which is nice. All the crap in the background is his. There would be room for 3 or 4 more cars in the heated side if that stuff was gone. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hotrod16105s-1966-amc-ambassdor/200466)._
