Thanks Bart I never meant to turn off a new member to this group. I
have gotten a lot of serious help from the menbers here since I joined
last Nov. . And though I am not a fan of alternative engines in an AMC I
can appreciate the engineering it takes to install one. But you can bolt
an AMC engine in one. Why use a Chevy unless that is what you already
have or what you are told to use by the powers that be.

It's your car but I thought you wanted somthing different?. Most the street rods have a 350//350 combo's in Pfprds, Dodges and almost all off the orphans and are cookie cutter cars. From personal observations Chevy engines are not usually welcomed by most the Chevy people in an AMC and the same goes for most of the AMC people. AMC engines are really that not hard to find, they were used in all sorts of Jeeps. You have stepped into the world of AMC where you can't just open up a catalog and order anything you need from Year One and the likes or go to the local junk yard and pick out an engine. You took on a hard job doing an AMC. Chaseing the parts is half the fun. Putting a Chevy in it is as some people say the easy way out. Maybe you should have kept the Monte and bolted in a BB 572 crate motor, it would have been easier and cheaper. Building an AMC is not easy but the reward of haveing a dare to be different car is more than worth it. You'll get more on the WOW if the Greml in has an AMC motor in it. I know Bart I been bad and will shut up now. Sorry if I offended anyone.
