I would never put a non amc into any AMC, the same frame of mind that says a 32 Ford deserves a flattie or 302-C4. But I would rather see a Rambler with a C***y engine combo running around, than a Rambler with a Rambler combo being crushed! I would think a stout small block would work better as the car would be hacked up worse with that big ol' 454 than a small block...........Russ ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
