I may be purchasing a 54 chevy truck that has the pacer front suspension installed. Talking with some folks it sounds like AMC used Dodge motors in their vehicles. My question is, would a small block chevy bolt right into the AMC motor mounts?
Thank you | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 | American Motors had their own V8 engine with the 304ci being used in the Pacer. The Pacer ifs into an AD truck was popular and a good set up till Pacers became scarce. Chassis Engineering offered (now owned by Heidts) a bolt in no weld kit that retained the stock AD front cross member. No front end rebuild parts available but Ford disc brakes and Chevy pickup cam type caster/camber adjusters can be tweaked to work. No, the sbc engine will not bolt up to either Chrysler or AMC motor mounts but dozens of suppliers have kits to mount a sbc into ANYTHING.

I am admittedly a newcomer to this game ; did not know that there were '54 Chevs tooling around with a Pacer stubbed in. Mine is the run-of-the-mill '74 Camaro stub with the common 350. | | |
