AMC401 Build for itselliot
http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=179354
Harry brought a pile of 401 parts to me with the task of making a running engine out of it. The block appears to have been Honed but has sat around and rusted up.

Pulled all of the core plugs out to begin the cleaning process. The oil passage may need some cleaning.. LOL!
It took some heat but I got the coolant drain plugs out and guess what... plugged solid.
Here is the first batch of junk that I cleaned out of the water passages. Most of it was packed around the rear two cylinders like they all are.

Even a acid bath won't get all of the caked in stuff out. I actually use a screwdriver and chisel it out. Once I get the big chunks out and do all of my prep work I will take it in to the machinist and then he will hot tank it. |

I've always wondered whether some of the overheating problems on these engines were related to the failure to originally clean all of the casting sand out of the water passages. I have seen it left in even after a rebuild. Glad to see you are taking the time to clean it out.

Yep, I spend a lot of time cleaning the blocks.
Here is a shot of the compression ratio calculations. I really like this combo which is basically using off the shelf 1971 401 pistons with the 58cc heads. The resulting compression ratio is 9.66:1. Perfect!
I posted up the internal oil line install on this forum for informational purposes.

Well, everything including a 360 for cma is at the machine Shop. I also have a 360 stroker over there too. Now we wait....
In the mean time, i have a Cross Ram 401 and a 401 for Sunbeam Fanatic to assemble.

Do you have a source for more early 401 pistons? If so I've got a couple of motors I'd love to send your way for the same treatment.

What do you expect the power output of this motor to be? Will it clear 400hp? 6250 RPM rev limiter capable? If it's not what would you change to make it rev to 6250? I'm looking to embarrass some more imports in the new wagon.  |
