Well if you don't mind going to MA. you can email Rick Johnston here. badx2000@gis.net He's a real 68-70 AMX guru known thruought most of the AMC world and his pricing is very fair as he did mine. His brother Jim works with him.

I dont mine traveling to Mass at all. I have a truck that goes to Mass several times a week. Can you tell anything about his shop etc for example does he do all his own machine work or does he contract out. Can he do street/strip applications does he have dyno capibilities balancing etc.Is there a web site for his company.

Thanks Steven Masters

He's doing a frame off on a 70 AMX now(replacing almost everything with nos) and is in the middle of rebuilding the 390 in it. Rick is more of a restorer and his brother Jim is a very talented engine rebuilder. They know 390's as well as anyone. You may want to send Rick an email about the other questions i'm not sure about. He sells quite a few parts on ebay and has a 100 % positive rating. Real honest guy.
