Any body recommend any AMC cars for entry level stock classes?

There are several V8 4 bbl engines that are good combos.

The first question though, is what do you consider entry level?

Maybe Mike Meires Spirit with a disassembled 304? He sold that one, almost went after it myself.

How fast do you want to go and how much money do you want to spend?

The '69 Rambler Rogue sedan with the 290-225(210) looks interesting. Nice cam, good compression, good carb, decent heads and intake.

As always...what's the budget, do you have a car or parts now, etc.? -Al

A FEW are good combos , Very few are inexpensive at entry level.
The Rogue 290 is always offered up as a possibility ,Although finding one that is decent enough to start a build from is difficult and the engine is not cheap to build correctly.
The best entry level car is the '77 Gremlin 258 2bbl combo for R or T .
The biggest expense is the cylinder head , Stock rods and Badger cast pistons will last for years …...The car itself can use a stock model 20 rear with Moser street axles ,4.44 gears and a stock posi with slapper bars and decent shocks
A stock 998 2.75 first gear trans with a Cheatah valve body and a good converter are all that's necessary for a basic car that can still run 80-90 under with the proper tuning.

Tommy, The Gremlins and Pacers are so collectible ;-) , one ought to look for a Hornet station wagon..Still makes V/SA, with a scrap value body, if you can find one.
Plus it has that wagon Jr. Stock look :-)

Wasn't there a white Hornet wagon out of Div 7 a few years back?
