Hey guys I need help With some specs. I'm having to up grade the engine in my 74 Amx because the 360 just isn't going to be capable of the hp I'm looking for. I believe I have a model 20 rear end does anyone know how much hp and torque it is capable of handling? Thanks

No I'm replacing the engine with a stronger more powerful engine question is how strong is the rear end in stock form and what can it hold up to fully built. Engine is going to make around 700 hp under boost. I'll post specs of the engine in a different thread to prevent any arguments. |

Well since no one knows what the Specs are i might as well just switch to a complete ford drivetrane since it's going to have a ford engine. It's sad that AMC really didn't produce anything that is capable of high hp or duabillity anyways..

Yeah it's sad that you have to come on to am AMC board to moan about AMC parts while bragging on Ford parts that you are going to put into your car. If AMC parts suck so bad why did you buy the AMC car that you own, why not just buy some POS Ford and save yourself the trouble? I'm sure some AMC idiot will buy your AMC so you can use the money to get yourself a FERD.

Hey im just being honest I am unbiased as far as cars go. I love amc body designs. But the fact is that amc did not have the greatest engineers. They made "decent" family cars but that's all. There's no shame in that. That being said taking any stock amc engine and trying to get 400-450+hp to the wheels out of it would cost over 15k. I would like to keep the stock rear end but if it's going blow apart the second it gets over 500 pounds of torque there's no point. Please don't get butt hurt. I was asking a simple question about an axle. That's all i wanted to know

The AMC 20 with one piece axles is just as strong as a 12 bolt gm .

Your correct I just wanted to know if anyone has used it in a mild drag race application. Personaly I dont care if it's a ford / gm/ Japanese / or European product. I like speed, regardless of who can give it to me. But I know for a fact that no amc engine can produce more power than a sbf or chevy. People on this forum are dungting bricks when they see an engine make more than 400 to the flywheel. I love amc body styles but there engines are dogs. I would love to have a 700 hp amc 401 but it would cost over 30k to build and you would have to start with a $8k aluminum block. It's just impractical. I completely agree with the fact that it would be great to keep it ALL amc but I could buy a new vehicle for that price. If their engines were so fantastic amc wouldn't have had to sell out. None of their drag cars had the original engines and for good reason. I'm not knocking the car i love my javelin but I'm not breaking my bank just to be able to have a semi competitive car. I'm not arguing with anyone and please don't think I'm trying to I'm just trying to save as much money as i can. Some may feel that I'm killing a car some may not care either way I'm just out for a hard running javelin. If I wanted a mustang body I'd have bought one I want something different.
