<SOLD!> AMC Marnal head (Spain casting) w/Monsta Banshee roller cam set-up... <SOLD!> I bought this from notfried earlier in the year and have realized that I will probably never need it. My car is in very near original condition and my engine was meticulously rebuilt less than 10K miles ago by K.D.M. It is not my daily driver and I do not race it, so I will probably have no need to rebuild the engine for a very long time. I have only opened the box from notfried to inspect it and then I sealed it back up. I am asking less than what I paid for it. The original details posted by notfried are below: "Spain casting Marnal head with 500 miles on it... It is gasket matched ported on the exhaust side, using a flow bench, has 1mm over-sized stainless steel valves, Schneider heavy-duty springs, and was made for a high-lift cam. The cam is a Tim C. Monsta Banshee Roller cam (INT Duration @.050: .207° Seat-To-Seat: 265°, EXH Duration @.050: .196° Seat-To-Seat: 262°, INT Lift: .480 w/1.6 ratio rockers;, EXH Lift:.459, Lobe Center Separation: 111.5°, Degree intake Lobe to 107°, Power Range: 2500-6500RPM), the rockers are 1:6 3000GT rollers, and the gear is a MK1 from Mookeeh. All the intake/exhaust hardware came from Dad, along with lifters and Fel-Pro 9116 head gasket set. This head was bought from the "Marnal GP OG", Richie_Rich, back in the day, sat in a box on a shelf most it's life, and got finally strapped to an engine that the machine shop installed the rings upside down in. Hence the 500 miles and the soot in the chambers. I included a pic of the soot because underneath it it is perfectly clean, and it falls off easily. I have over $1500 invested in this head/cam set-up. $900 shipped (continental US)

I'll post some additional photos showing there is no warping or additional concerns. Don't know what springs or cam are in it. Selling it all for $250 plus shipping. Ported intake, Ported Head, ARP studs, Polished Valve Cover. The Studs alone are $75 to $100 bucks by themselves. Sorry guys, but I've gotten burned lately on shipping, so I'm not paying a dime for it. I'm only selling it to help whoever needs it. So I don't upset anyone, the first to PM will get first shot. You have 48 hours to pay after I give you my Paypal address. Then it goes to the second PM, third and so forth (no pun intended) I'm sure it will go quick at this price. Take care folks. Richard

I'm parting out the engine and transmission of a 88 Conquest. Odometer shows 69,xxx miles. The engine was still full of nice green antifreeze. I bought the car not running, so condition is unknown. I was told it needed a starter. When I pulled the engine, it was missing a starter bolt allowing the starter to move away from the block and flexplate. Oil was old but was not milky. Turbo a little dry but manually turned smooth. Now for some prices. Long block $250, Intake with injectors $75, Turbo $75, Distributer $50, Intercooler $40, Transmission $100, Auto Shifter with linkage $50, Alternator $15 Radiator $50. Shipping is not included in the prices listed. If I did not list something you need, just ask. I have all parts right now since I'm doing a V8 swap. Thank for looking! Scott

So, I stopped procrastinating and did the head gasket this weekend, probably about my 10th in 16 years. I guess I've got a few little things I always do that might be of help to somebody else. If so, cool. A lot of us have done these, but not everybody. >Get the head resurfaced if you have the time/money. That said, I've done it probably twice..not a requirement usually if the head is in good shape... but a best practice. >Use painter tape to label the sensor connections or whatever connections you can't remember or are confusing. (Pri inj, sec inj, top temp sensr, TPS,etc) Once you do that, pulling it apart will be less mentally stressful, although it's not really too big of a deal, only about 7 connections. After a few times you may not need the tape, LOL. >Leave the mainfolds on. Don't bust up your knuckles trying to get under the manifolds. Once the sensors, coolant lines, vac lines and throttle cable are loose, unbolt the downpipe and unbolt the ring clamp around the turbo cartridge. Tap the conpressor with a rubber mallet and it will pop off, leaving all the lines connected. There, saved you a big mess. Now the manifolds are your handles to pull the head. >Pull the valve cover and mark the distributor position with a marker across the gear and shaft. No need to get TDC, just make sure the lines line up when you put the dist back in. >When you pop the head off, have some cardboard ready to place it on. With the manifolds on it, the head surface won't touch the ground though. >Look at everything and make sure there aren't any cracks or damage you can see. Do a little detective work and see if you can find out where the gasket failed... and why. >Look for two round pegs, one at the front, one at the rear corner. These locate the head and prevent you from blowing a gasket in 5 minutes. If you don't see one, check if it got pushed into the head. >Get your sctoch brite and clean up the block surface and head. Go easy on the head, don't use something that will gouge or cut the metal at all. Keep crap out of the cylinders. >Avoid AJUSA metal gaskets. I know I know, but they are easy to blow if you ever get hot. Not from the cylinders, but around the oil/coolant passages. Go for the high quality FelPro composite gasket, it's less likely to fail that way. Hey, this is just my observation!

I'm parting out my 87' 2.6 motor to do a motor swap. I have everything, The crank will need to be polished....I spun a rod bearing a while ago and was gonna rebuild it but I have changed my mind. I have a new, still in the package, AJUSA head gasket that I got from engine machine service and I also have all the lower and upper gaskets, all brand new. Tranny shifts great..No grinds or slips. Clutch has 600 miles on it. It's a stage one clutch from eBay......Have all the stock intercooler piping, stock intercooler, pretty much everything needed to put back together. The pistons and rods are still good, Just need new main and rod bearings. The head has no cracks. The block is cleaned up and ready to go. I will have pics up soon. Make offer on parts you need or want. Please PM me or call/text 815-302-6897. Thanks, Brad Will be posting more here in the next few days. I still need to pull the ECU and all that good stuff.
