i WAS gonna do a 6cyl (232) but i couldn't see having a bellhousing made plus the 3 speed that's in 'em (no 4 speed available) ain't much and few and far between..

The 258 2 barrel is a much easier combo to work with and you can run a 4 speed with most combinations. Will easily run 1.2 under in V, 1 under in U or T.

232/2bbl was as big as it got in 67...

Back in the late 60's I worked at an AMC dealership and man, some of those Ramblers were very peppy. Through the years I have owned 3 1969 Hurst Ramblers, 5 1969 AMX's, and several 8cyl Gremlins. I dragged raced everyone of them, even ran one Rambler and one AMX in super stock with the 390 4 speed combo. In October of this year my wife and I drove our 1977 AMC Gremlin 258 2bbl to Charlotte to the GoodGuys. Had a blast and had a lot of comments on the Gremlin. As far as performance with the 258, on the highway at 75mph I got 18 mpg and made the track cruise twice at the Charlotte Motor Speedway for a total of 6 laps and got up to 85mph pretty quick. Would of went faster but I felt like that was fast enough. I would love to see more AMC cars in IHRA and NHRA.

The C cars can now run B as well. I think there is an alum head approved for them now too.
Aris Asdourian has his D/SA at Hagerstown this year in Nov on Sunday at the Tri State S/SS race.

He has his SS/C car there on Sat, but broke the engine. He went home and got the stocker and came back Sunday.
