Hi All, Thought the list went bust,glad to see there is life out there!!! Anyway - that is the beauty of the AMC V8, If all you are doing is a basic rebuild on any size motor - the cost is the same. You don't run into more money until you get into a 401 and start replacing pistons,rods,or cranks. SOOOO - the more cubic inches the better! If the engine stays relatively stock the trans will take it just fine. -------------------------------------Vik Butvila 1974 Gremmie X
