As If I Needed Another Project.... 68 Amx Pro Touring/track Car

Opening up the drain back holes.
Valley oil line under the intake manifold.
Drilled out oil main passage.
Bulltear tri-flow oil filter relocation and dry sump pickup.
Aviaid 6 qt road race oil pan with -12 remote oil pickup.
Dual remote oil filters to increase system capacity to 8 qts.
Bulltear timing cover with nickle plated oil pump housing interior.
Bulltear blueprinted HRC oil pump gear set.

Below is a picture of the oil filter relocation/dry sump pickup plate.

 

Another piece of the puzzle showed up today!
The Aviaid T/A road race oil pan with external pickup. The only thing better than this would be a full dry sump system.
Aviaid made the original pans for the Trans Am champion Penske Javelins driven by Mark Donohue.




AN-12 external oil pump feed line.





Windage tray to prevent spinning oil with the 4" stroke crank.





The pickup box is equipped with 3 trap doors to allow oil in and prevent starvation on high gforce corners.

 

Holy crap nice piece dude!

 

After over a year of waiting the headers and exhaust system came in!
Headers are of course dogleg port, 1-7/8", 304 stainless and made by American Racing Headers. The mufflers are their proprietary design, "pure thunder series", I am excited to hear them!





The merge collectors have cones to help with back drafting.

 

:49 holy smokes..

 

This is why FB marketplace is so terrible.
With the current 390 engine in the car dead and the new 443 engine still in line at the builders, I was casually looking for a temporary replacement engine.
Randomly an AMC 343 popped up a couple weeks back.
The engine is claimed to be rebuilt and I have seen a video of it running.
Sadly it was pulled from a running/driving car for a LS/6L80E swap.
The car is owned by the shop owners daughter who runs a very reputable SF Bay area hot rod shop.
The price was right and it came with plenty of extra goodies to re sell.
I still have no idea when I will install the engine..... maybe after the Tahoe project is finished.

 

Is that a 4bbl carburetor?

 

Yup, Its a 500 CFM unit.
