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.

were they all notchbacks?
were there any automatics?

didn't know there was a 2bbl 360 in any of them...

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.
