Re: [Amc-list] world's slowest engine rebuild

That Quad-4 should rip in a little American.
 
I had one in my 89 Cutlass Calais (4-door Grand Am platform).  It would rip to 6000 RPM and was quick.  After I started having problems with the LU converter not unlocking, a buddy who worked at GM service dept, told me to unplug the wiring to the tranny (disarming the LU converter).  After that, the engine would rev to 6600 RPM and was even more of a screamer.  
 
An American with that little engine would be fun!  Plus you could put and OD GM tranny on it.

Take a look at this GM Quad-4 swap going on over at hotrodders.com. The same guy
has a Mazda rotary going into another small body American. Interesting! The
engine pics are on page 3. He also took some good engine bay pics of the L-head
still in there, see page 2. I've been following both and helping out where I
can.

So there's a big Nash six with 7 mains, but it's a boat anchor. THe
amc 195.6 was the best/latest flathead with an OHV stuck on it. Though
it's 4 mains it's got the best of all of them.

Not that it matters, since nothing else fits in the hole (little AMerican).
