Or, to avoid burned plug wires, they could have used a hemi instead.

Oh well, at least we eventually got the K-car.
hey, K cars had hemi's too...........................;)

I had a red 64 SS Nova with that exact drive train. (327/365 4 speed, 373 gear)

I once owned a 1968 Plymouth Fury III Fast Top, so I would love one with the same build specs as the '68 Hemi Dart & Cuda Super Stock package.

Or, since my '89 Olds 88 Royale sedan came from the factory with the 3.8L Buick V6 in it, it should be easy to swap in a complete T-Type or Grand National turbo setup.

Calling whay MP offered a "kit" would be optomistic. It was like 2 pieces of steel and a welder, minus the welder. :)

1970-1971 Maverick / Comet with 302W 4bbl instead of 2bbl. Maybe even the Shelby GT-350 351W engine or Boss 302 in the 1970 model. How about a Boss 351 in the '71 models?

'69 AMX with Superstock cross-ram 390 engine. 1970 also since AMC wanted (and tried) to get away with it.

'71 - '74 Gremlin and Hornet 401.

Mopar 6-packs in anything they fit in in the years offered.
Same with the Z-28 302's & even LT-1, any model for years offered. If it fit under the hood, it was good!

Boss 429 F-100 in 1969-1970.
The 401 Gremlins were made. Randall AMC in Arizonia made them ( I think...getting old lol )

And now, for something completely different...

The Mopar factory had a few prototype turbocharged slant six motors. They never did anything (production-wise) with them.

I have an acquaintence who has a 1966 Valiant with a turbocharged slant six that makes a little over 500 horsepower with the 2-valve, cast iron head, and one 4-bbl Holley carb.

It is all-steel and weighs a little over 2,800 pounds.

It runs in the tens at 127 mph in the quarter-mile, on gasoline. That's with a power-robbing 727 and 2.76:1 final drive gearing.

If a "backyard mechanic" can get this kind of output from a hairdryer-equipped, leaning tower of power, just think what the factory could have done...

1969 Torino Talladega with the BOSS 429 instead of the Mustang getting the BOSS 429 I have never understood or known the reasoning behind this...

1971 Pontiac T-37 / GT-37 with 455 Ram Air V as per Lynn McCarty build on U-tube coupled with a Turbo 400 and a 12 bolt rear.
