* It�s been reported that the 350 Buick V8 has been found in the 1972 trucks. For what it�s worth the 1972 AMC factory shop manual does NOT list or show the 350 V8. Nor is it listed in the VIN code break down for 1972. If you do indeed have one my best "guess" is that there were some left in stock after the AMC take over of Kaiser Jeep and AMC offered them as a limited option? Or (more likely) it�s been swapped in at a later date. Either way consider yourself lucky. It�s a very good motor.

Disclaimer

The data base for the FSJ Drive Train Components 1962-1992 has been compiled from Kaiser/AMC and Chrysler factory references ONLY�no other sources were used, not even "my grandpa worked for Jeep in �.and he says�" There will be discrepancies especially on the cusp years: example if a component is listed as ending it�s availability in 1983 and you have an 84 with that part�well it happens. Left over parts get used in the next year just like parts shortages for one year allows parts from the new or next years model to be used earlier than planned. Welcome to the auto industry� If you�re in doubt as to what you have�get down, get dirty and crawl under your rig and read the tag/stamped numbers on the part you�re in doubt about. ALL components have an ID number somewhere. If you don�t know what the numbers should be, how to translate them or where to look all I can say to you is RTFM or ask on the FSJ-list ;)

Hope this reference is useful to you as a guide. If you run into a typo or an error that is documentable through a factory reference please feel free to write me (OldIron@olypen.com) and I�ll check it out and make corrections as necessary.

Kudos

This data base was not a single effort. It was done basically for the FSJ-list members and other FSJ owners/net surfers but was done by the list members. Some of the folks involved in this project besides myself were Mike Ahlmann, Brad Feick, Kim Wood, Ray Drouillard, Leslie Bright, John Holderman, Chris Medlicott, Dennis Upton, John Esposito, Karen Sheppard, David Dusenbury, Chad Bartman, Wade Alexander and others who I�ve forgotten, sorry� Thanks for everyone�s time spent, couldn�t have done it without your help.

NOTE: This database is NOT to be used/published on other web sites without prior approval by yours truly!

Regards,
Joe Schaefer
