Re: [Amc-list] AMC speed parts

Russ,
   I got into amc a little over 20 years ago and I would have to say there is more available aftermarket now then there was just 10 years ago. The internet has really opened up teh AMC market. 20 years ago you were lucky to know about 4 other gremlins in the contry. Now they are comming out of the grass, barns, and everywhere.
   Dollar for dollar GM is cheaper but cube for cube AMC makes more power any day. If it were easy everyone would be doing it( hence the GM stuff).
   Folks are shocked when they look at my gremlin and I tell em it is a small block, 93 octane, no power adders, and 530+ HP.

If you open Jegs or Summit and look through their catalogs you will be disappointed. They only list the top two companies and most new people to the sport will look for speed parts and give up, as AMC is not listed. Even the Chryco guys are not represented as well as the other two are. But the AMC stuffis out there, you just have to look a little further.
Ebay has them, but for every 10 GM intakes you might see one AMC.
And on and on. When I ran my 390 Gremlin I could open any catalog and find speed goodies galore. The selection has shrunk. But they are still out there, for sure. 
I think doing up a 350 GM is lazy mans way to speed as you don't have to travel far, just pick up any car mag.
Doing an AMC engine takes a little more work.
You can imagine what the Studebaker guys are thinking right now....Russ
