[Amc-list] Rambler six comma fast

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

 From the inliners.org forum:

... I have a similar engine in my 27 Ford T. A 258 AMC bored to 267. 
Early Buick turbocharger, 4-bbl carb. Have had engine in various forms 
for years. An earlier turbocharged version with a S&S Harley carb tured 
14.20 at drags in a 1965 Rambler American. Present set-up in a car half 
the weight is awesome. Good luck on your project. I am new to this site 
so when I figure out how to post pictures I will. Mike (Alton IL)



No one laughs at AMC over there, even though they're mostly chevy six 
nuts. There's a guy who milled the trough off his Willys 150ci 4-banger 
to put two side drafts on. Crazy people like that we need more of!

Someone on that forum remembers a 60's? magazine article where Barney 
Navarro is quoted saying he picked the Rambler six for the Indy car 
because it had the strongest bottom end of any American engine he had 
ever seen. 4 times factory HP in dead-stock trim, and 6 times factory HP 
with four-bolt mains. Not bad for an econobox part.
