I totally favor 100% AMC, but there are plenty of times I think
its OK to hack up a car. For every survivor, specialty car,
zero-miles, SC/Rambler, there's a thousand ordinary putt-
putts
awaiting attention.


Another Rambler on the road is a Good Thing, regardless 
of engine
under the hood.


If I wasn't the idiot that I am, it would have been FAR MORE
SENSIBLE to stick a non-AMC drivetrain in my project 70 
Hornet.  I
have a very particular look I want to achieve with this car.  
It's
not worth any money, it's nothing special. It came as a 
(barely)
rolling chassis with junk stuffed into it.  It's been 6 months
chasing down engines, transmission, driveshaft, sheriff, etc 
and
I'm still not done. I'm building it to DRIVE not sell.

You east-coast people have NO IDEA how hard it is to get 
hard
parts this far west. You'd never put up with it.

A car is more than an engine (to me, anyways) and no one 
but
fanatics would put up with this crap. A 250 6-cyl chevy with
automatic would be CAKE and half the cost. It's simple 
economic
reality. If I knew I was going to have this much trouble I 
would
have done that. I far, far prefer the 232/258 but shache it's 
been
a lot of work and searching.

=========================


East Coast is a close relation to the Rust Belt - 
so don't think we have it made !

And ......... that Economic Miracle called 
'The Mobile Crusher' - wiped an entire
salvage yard clean of over 35 Gremlins -
most there due to the trans or lack of engine
oil........... yes ....... damned nice specimen!

Everything around here rusts - and AMCs 
left outside over lawn or leafs - dissolves
to the extent that the subframes fold up to
the firewalls     ----------  so I'd far prefer
a Wess Koast Kar for parts or resto !

So what is this '70 Hornet about ?
You running a 'Big 6 Inliner' ?
