ould a SC/360 Hornet be a viable combination for stock?
 
Been reading a lot lately about the aluminum heads, aluminum intake, and 3310 Holley carb that can be used with certain AMC motors. Given all of the parts that can be "added" to an AMC car, would a SC/360 Hornet make a decent combo in stock? Just thinking out loud:)

Actually I have a 71 SC/360 Hornet. Originally a two barrel model. Needs to be restored but very solid. Still interested to know if it might be a good combination.

It is definitely worth the effort in my opinion. There's already one ahead of you that is still in the construction phase.
And cloning one is very easy. Just need a scoop.

Hrre is a link to some info.
I recall reading magazine test between a 360 Hornet and 340 Demon. I believe the Demon was in the low-mid 14's while I believe the Hornet was in the high 14's, as referenced in the link, possibly a different article.

Basically just a 1971 360 Hornet. Red between the taillights instead of body color. Available as 3-speed auto, 3 or 4 speed manual. 2bbl or 4bbl. 4bbl got the ram-air, 2bbl did not.
When I first got into building a RWD stocker, I took a serious look at this combo. But I couldn't get over the looks of the Hornet (which really isn't horrible) and went AMX instead. I really wanted a bigger engine and a short wheelbase.
