Re: AMC Stocker suggestions
There are several V8 4 bbl engines that are good combos.
The first question though, is what do you consider entry level?

I thought I saw an AMC in pieces for sale a year of so ago if memory serves.

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?

Re: AMC Stocker suggestions
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

Biggest expenses, where you'll need to open the wallet wide, are cylinder heads done by someone competent, that will pass tech and not leave a bunch of ET on the table. Also, valvetrain, torque converter, new wheels and tires Plus maybe 900 small items you don't know you'll need yet. Good luck... Ask your questions here, and not down at the Tastee Freeze. You're at the right place.
