[AMC-List] Alternative engine applications.

["John Elle" <johnelle@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are two motors that I have seen used in early Ramblers 
that seem to go in as if the factory installed them. For really 
early Ramblers the 2000 or 2300 overhead cam I-4 does a 
really clean installation. For later Ramblers the 3.8 Buick or 
4.3 Cheverolet V6 sure look good in them. All 3 engines have 
a wide selection of after market performance parts available 
to do almost anything thing one wants to with them. 
Another engine that might be used more than it has been 
is the Pontiac Iron Duke engine which also has a wide availability
of performance parts and was used by AMC in later Spirit and 
Concord applications giving a number of transmissions that it 
would mate up to. Probably including other GM I-6 engines too. 
Any of the above engines with some work should be a lot 
simpler to install than either of the Ford 200 or 250 cu in engines. 
Both of which seem to have a very poor reputation for performance 
or economy although appear to have been very rugged engines. 
John.
