" From: Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx> " " [] " " It was a time when Indy was trying to curb costs and get more " manufacturer interest by using more stock components. There was a big " stock-block push in the 70s, with an AMC block being used. Stock block " was about it though -- almost anything else went! The AMC V-8 had a " crank and cam that let it run like two in-line fours on the same crank " rather than a typical V-8... that's a flat crank, not unknown in v8 racing circles. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
