I think that's probably right. Could have warped head or cracked head, blown head gasket, ruined bearings and several other things that are heat-related.

I'd be on the lookout for another engine.....there are still a good many around; and I think the 304, 343, 360 and 390 all use the same bolt pattern.

they do, as well as the 401.. but the crank snout changed in '72 when AMC started using the TF trans, which knocks the 343 out as a possible swap in
