I have been working on a 69 american for several years 232 2bbl. I wrote a letter h.p is now 145 on this combo dont know if this would effect your 67 combo?????

Wow, Ramblers coming out of the woodwork! Thanks for all the info and help everyone, it gives me alot to think about. Even though I think I know what I want to run, I still can't decide!

Part of me knows better, but darnit I still want to mess with a six!

FYI, Running a Rambler, A Body 8.75 rear end is a bolt in deal. Same width as stock rear end and also Chrysler trans make this a better combo. I wish I was futher along with mine, short block is together and car is basically complete. D-stock automatic Duster's eat lot's of money. If I can be of any help just let me know. 6 cylinders RULE!!!!!

!!!!!!!!

awww, if it makes ya feel better, i've got a 69 2 dr post that's getting a mustang II front end and a sbc/4speed/9".
well, the front end is in it anyway...
i'd rather put an amc in it but i can blow up a few 350's....
i DO have a line on a couple of 343's though.

i'm with you, i want to build a six but this trans thing is getting to be an issue....
i'm NOT gonna run an automatic!
the car'll be slow enough and i'll fall asleep by 1/2 track if i run an auto

if we've got any tech guys on here that can straighten me out on the six cyl/4 speed thing, i'd sure appreciate it.
btw, if i DO have to use a 3 speed, anybody have any suggestions?

Good tip to know, the rear was gonna be a crutch on the Rambler.

Anyone know where to find floorpans for a Rambler by the way? I think mine might be bad or close to it...I pulled it out of the snowpile to give it a lookover this afternoon, the body is real good but the floors feel soft...didn't have time to pull the mat up, and it's supposed to storm here again for a few days...

'69 rambler 2 door post here also, its currently a garage ornament...

do a google search & you'll be amazed @ the amc stuff out there... i think Galvins rambler parts has floorpans for the americans... however i've seen a javelin with the interior out of it while it was being restored & its floorpans look awfully close to the same as the americans & would almost bet money they are the same .. doubt amc spent the extra money to make different floorpans for cars that have the same wheelbase & finding javelin floorpans might be easier

Rambler Rouge might have had 6 and 4speed check AMC fourm web site those guys know alot!! Look for 4 door and wagons for parts might find floors there. There is always lots of Rambler parts for sale on the fourm hope this helps.
My 8.75 came out of 68 dart good luck!!!!!!!!!!

The stick combo would be limited to a 3 speed only.
