Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

Monte Carlo ss 1983 with 454ci 4speed just like I'm building.

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

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

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

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. :)

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

The 401 Gremlins were made. Randall AMC in Arizonia made them ( I think...getting old lol )

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

yup. got one behind the shop...

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

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...

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

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...

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

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.

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

275hp 273 D Dart motor in an A 990 defactored to 198hp....killer U/SA.

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

Don't know if it's already been posted, but for me it a 1967 Mustang with a 427 SOHC.

Also would have been cool to see a fox body mustang with a 351W option or, even better, a fuel injected 460....

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

Smart car with a Mercedes Benz V-12
Citroen CV2 with a 426 Hemi
Fiat 500 526 Hemi for Factory Showdown class. I'm sure Mr Teuton can influance Mother Mopar to slip that one in at 375 HP.
Pretty much anybody can slip in a Randall American 401 gremlin. There was no way to
actually document them. They were low 12 sec cars out of the dealership (for $2,995).

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

Since you brought it up, A man named Gordie Chilson built and sold more 401 Gremlins through his dealership in northern Pennsylvania than Randall ever did.

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

I'd like to know more about that, just out of curiosity

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
 

Well,,, in that case Jim,, you need to go over to youtube and type in; Roadkill episodes 29 & 30 and check out that bad boy the 2 editors of Hot Rod magazine threw together,,, and where they drove it. Very entertaining. I've followed all the episodes of Roadkill, and they are a hoot to watch. Check it out when you can.
