Hi,

I am a new member to this board, and to AMC's as well. I recently purchased a very solid 69 AMX with only one flaw. It has an BBC engine in it. In my enthusiasm to correct this problem, I did a lot of research and decided put a 401 in it. Payton's Performance in KY was recommended by several different online sources as an AMC specialist with 30 years experience so I gave them a call, and ultimately agreed to buy a standard bore block, and standard journal crank from him (JT). I sent them the Edelbrock heads I bought elsewhere to put in the additional head bolt holes, and sent them some money for the parts and shipping. I called to check on it yesterday, and the phone number no longer works.

Does anyone here know them, or have any advice on how to get in touch with them? I sure hope I don't have to start over. That would really suck.

Sorry for the lousy introduction. I hope you can help.

Regards,
Roger

I am sorry that I don't know what is with the Peyton group, but I would like to welcome you to the forum and say that I am pleased that you are putting back the AMC motor in your AMX.

Thanks for the response. I have located them via another phone number I found online. JT said they had their second phone line disconnected, and he had planned to call me when he was ready to ship the parts. I have no reason to believe otherwise so I'm good for now. Thanks again, and I am looking forward to building my first AMC motor.

Regards,
Roger
