This is the Concord that a buddy and I purchased. I knew that It had a 258 in it, and my buddy needed a 258 for his Jeep. We bought the car for $400, he put 200 in for the engine and I put in 200 for everything else. Not bad for a running car. Unfortunately, when we had done all the work to pull the motor, we found that the crankshaft flange would not mate to the Flywheel. my buddy was crushed. Things turned out well in the end, as he later purchased an '80 258 hooked to a T-176 and a Dana 300 case. But the motor is still at his uncles house, along with the car. I'm going to buy the motor back when he's done with it. I would love to have the car as a runner again. Poor old girl. Needs upper balljoints, springs and brakes. But it ran fine, if a little rich. Pretty humble little rig. I had a blast driving it. KPH was on the outside. I assume it was a Canadian car. I'd love to have it built up with a Stroker inline 4.6L four barrel, header, or a prepped 401. I think that I'd have fun with that. Heck, I'd have fun with it if it was back together. It'll be in one piece this summer again. Thats one of my plans. Man I'd love to drop a GM Hei distributor into this thing.
Well, the car made it to my familys place, albiet engineless. Im working out what engine to put into it.
June 02- in the beginning of the year I'd purchased a 77 Jeep 258. Well, the 77 258 is now coupled to an 81 904 TF. Im awaiting crank and flexplate bolts for it to go back together. Ive got all of the pieces to put it back together. So Im doing it. Slowly. Eventually the engine will be built up a little, but for now all i wanna do is put the thing back together. |
