" A friend of mine ran a 7.81 when he used the amc 401 block, crank, heads and rods. (and the stock rod bolts!!!)
He used a blower and methanol.
But who has the fastest AMC powered car??
He ran this engine years ago, but had big problems when the sylinderwalls was cracking...
Has anyone gone faster than this??
He had this engine in a 66 rambler."
From the amc forum
Impressive on the stock high nickel block.
Amc had lots of room for improvement, we do not.
I think the instead of the mercedes 90° 3 valve engine a 60° pentstar v6 with the 4 valve heads, stock 305 hp would be good in a crossfire, and doesn't it bolt up to our 6 sped trans.
Seen online a twin turbo pentstar in a wrangler pulling over 440 hp at the wheels, with that heavy rotational weight.
If only someone could figure out how to adapt our factory cruise control.
