Default AMC Stocker suggestions

Any body recommend any AMC cars for entry level stock classes?

There are several V8 4 bbl engines that are good combos.

The first question though, is what do you consider entry level?

Maybe Mike Meires Spirit with a disassembled 304? He sold that one, almost went after it myself.

How fast do you want to go and how much money do you want to spend?

The '69 Rambler Rogue sedan with the 290-225(210) looks interesting. Nice cam, good compression, good carb, decent heads and intake.

As always...what's the budget, do you have a car or parts now, etc.? -Al

If you are a true hands on guy, it could be done with a V8 car. By that I mean assembling your own engine, transmission, doing your own paint and body work, also wheeling and dealing through the AMC site, Ebay, Craigslist.
Biggest expenses, where you'll need to open the wallet wide, are cylinder heads done by someone competent, that will pass tech and not leave a bunch of ET on the table. Also, valvetrain, torque converter, new wheels and tires
Plus maybe 900 small items you don't know you'll need yet.
Good luck... Ask your questions here, and not down at the Tastee Freeze. You're at the right place.
