And Dwight, OBTW, just for the records, at least Chevy made big blocks with aluminium heads. You show me any AMC V8 with them. I'm so damned glad that everything I have is so da**ed different that no-one wants to be bothered with it. I guess the new deal now is "well he's cheating so I'm gonna cheat".

And for "Super Trick", I raced D/S last about 7 years ago. My ET's were 10.55-10.65 here in Arizona; never made it to a sea level track. And that was with a .457" cam, cast iron intake and 4300 Autolite. I'd suggest if you have a comparable D/S or D/SA car, you should be able to do better with 7 years in advancements. But I doubt it.
So 7 years years you spent a bunch of time,money and had a soft NHRA HP rating and ran fast? Boy don't hurt your arm patting your self on the back. Lets talk about what time and money (and low HP combos) cant buy, World championship, a race win. A couple things i don't here you talk about. There are plenty of people on here that post that have championships,race wins,records,# 1 qualifying you never here them talking about what they have done. Why? It's something called "CLASS". It's nice to think that some racers still have it. |

Second, in one sentence you say you don't hear me talking about world championships, or race wins. Next sentence you say of those with such accomplishments, they don't mention it. Which end are you talking from? Third, on the subject of class, you might notice I don't hide behind a screen name. Talk about classless!

Hey Super Truck.....go ahead and post your successes. I would like to see them and congratulate you. To Jeff's defense (and he needs none)....He built his car before he wanted to spend so much time with his children. Therefore, his priorities have shifted (pun intended)....

all this sounds like there's gonna be 400 amc stockers built over the winter
![]() yeah, right... oh yeah, should i be bent out of shape because damn near everybody can have beercan heads and i'm stuck with cast iron? 290 amc's can't run aluminum heads... and as far as the "BIG HUGE ADVANTAGE" the R4B is,well, "dated" comes to mind...$$$ is another... at least it'll be something different than another camaro/mustang/challenger.....HEY!!! WAIT A MINUITE!!, i remember seeing a javilin ad back in '69 that had a 6/71 blower on it! wonder where THAT was in the group 19 section ..... ![]() this is pure sarcasm and to be taken as such...

Wow the 343 in GT with aftermarket heads is 270HP, 202 intake with the 3310 which flows 800 cfm on my bench. Built properly this motor should make 600 HP, if I was an AMC guy, I'd stuff that baby in a Gremlin and fly.

I am not sure how much the superseded parts really help those cars. At the end of the day, they are still AMCs.
