Re: [AMC-list] an act of sacralige???

Dave,
O know where your comming from. It's not as easy to find even 360's anymore. I ran a worn out 360 in my gremlin a few yrs back. All stock bottom end with 140+k miles on her. Made close to 400 hp on the dyno. Car went 12.60 @ 107mph on the 3rd run. Where are you again? I have a few cheap good 360's. Remember you don't want a tight engine for dragracing.
I wouldnt send ya packin for usin what ya got though.... Even if it will be a freak. Atleast it's another Amc on the track instead of the crusher!

(i forget what trans it is) so, with that, and this motor "supposedly" had a rebuild with just a good hone job on it. so, maybe i could say it is a "401" in it??? ;-) anyone who dont know any better may not notice that the dizzy is strait up instead of canted and my beleive it. ;-). i may even go and buy the amc engine paint and paint it amc. hehe. ok, im goin to bed. its late. im waiting to hear how bad i am for doing this. all i have to do is get a rear sump oil pan/pickup, and build motor mounts to mount to the factory perches. finding the oil pan/pickup is tough. but cheaper, easier than rebuilding the amc engine/trans to get going. im a bad man, i know, but its only for a short while.
