GT Combo?

Mongo · 02-04-2013, 09:11 PM

Was wondering if a GT legal Chrysler engine would be legal in an AMC product. Thanks in advance.

To slow the AMC down?

I've heard someone is running a "corporate" rear end (8 3/4 Chrysler) in their AMC stocker so I would think a corporate engine would also be legal in GT. Might be more interesting trying to put an AMC engine in a Chrysler.

So, Jim, are you gonna back half the Pacer and slap in a Hemi?

I saw a Dodge Avenger at the Cecil Co. AMC only race about 6-7 years ago with a 366 CI AMC combo that was classified as a SS/GT car.Ran a few tenths under the index if I remember correctly

Never! I'd rather look for slant 6's to pick on.

There's only two AMC Stocker's that I know in the USA, well with V-8's anyways, and they both have Chrysler rear ends. And I've got the letter from NHRA sayin' it's acceptable. Corporate means corporate!
So what is it you are dreamin' about? If really can't think of a Chrysler engine that looks better than any 1967-1972 AMC V-8. If you would like to PM me, let's talk! Maybe a 6-pack. But I doubt it compares to a x-ram 390. And I doubt a Hemi can be light enough as a GT combo to be competitive.
I'm all ears!
