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?

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

Re: AMC Stocker suggestions
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.

Re: AMC Stocker suggestions
Wasn't there a white Hornet wagon out of Div 7 a few years back?
