Re: AMC in Rod & Custom

[farna@xxxxxxx]

at least it wasn't butchered for a V-8 or even a big V-6. a lot of rodders with things like Track Ts and even early 30s cars are going to four cylinders. The earliest rods had tricked up Ford model A and B "bangers" (what they call fours) anyway, so it's considered "traditional". I've seen a 32 high boy (no fenders, stock height body, lowered suspension) without hood sides with an Olds Quad four, T-5, and a pair of Webers (or could have been the weber look throttle bodies, but I doubt it) sticking out the side. Now that looked cooler than a V-8!
