GT Combo? - Page 2

It wouldn't upset the AMC racers (maybe the cruise night dudes but BFD). But a 290 AMC is better than a 318 4bbl, and a 360 AMC is better than any 340 or 360 AMC. Maybe not the 340 T/A, but maybe yes.
And the world waits for proof....

a new 392 hemi may spice an AMX up a little bit.

Jeff Lee · 02-07-2013, 10:23 PM

what class and weight would that have to be?

Chris1529 · 02-08-2013, 10:13 AM

D/S...lol.

on a more serious note though, a 318 like Sheehan or Volkman run in their GT cars would probably work well in an AMC too.

When I worked for the Los Angeles County Mechanical Department in the early-mid 1980's, we had Hornets, afew Gremlins, and 360,390,and 401 powered Matadors. They all had a Chrysler Torque Flite trans-a 727 or a 904. Made you wonder what kind of possibilities exist. Now, with the merger,does that mean we will see a Hemi powered Gremlin in SS/AA?

That old 392 would be heavier than the rest of the car.

Ed,
He said "new hemi" which are in the new SRT's.
I would agree, the new Chrysler, post 2008, would be interesting GT cars in a 97" wheel base AMX. And those '73 Hornets are a pretty slippery looking vehicle and I think they look kinda cool; with the right paint job.
On auto transmissions, the doors wide open as AMC used the FMX (Ford source), Turbo 400, TF 727 & 904, all with AMC specific bellhousings.
Turbo 400 was a Jeep truck item so I'm not sure that is legal but if it is, does that then allow a t-200 metric?
And I'd personally take a 290 AMC Super Stock over a 318 Super Stock.
