Bought a Jem from Jim in 1973. Told me He had just built the 454 to about 450HP. After a few hours, (about 4) the valves started sounding bad and it never ran like 450HP. Took it to a Mercury facility and when they ran the engine numbers, they found the motor was pulled from a totaled 1981Impala, and had never been rebuilt, completely stock automotive version. When I aproached Jim, he denided any knowledge of the facts and while i was there, an older gentleman came in and stated Jim had sold his son a piece of S*it and wanted him to step outside. Jim wouldn't and the guy pulled a gun. Jim was out the back door and GONE! Never got any compensation from Jim, but had the engine rebuilt and enjoyed it for a few years. IF IT"S A KLYM JEM--BEWARE!!! A sucker back then!
