Guys, I would imagine you don't walk into any dyno facility with an AMC motor, and everything hooks right up. Block, headers, etc.
Also ,this is a bracket deal, and he's already spent a bunch on it.
It may turn out that dyno-ing it would have saved him money in the long run, but maybe he prefers to spend it in smaller increments.
That's why he's here, asking questions, I would guess.

Mark is right at this point were going to try exchanging some parts we already have and see what it does if nothing changes. the engine will probably come back out and well find a dyno that can accommodate an amc somewhere. i still haven't rulled out the converter hopefully well get some answers this weekend. I do have access to a hub dyno but that still leaves alot of variable since the car would be part of the equation.
