Forgotten:AMC WALLY BOOTH " Quote" from Wally Booth summer of 2010. "I made over 800 Hundred horse power with my Motor" ( approx 366 cubic inches) Wally was consistently in the top ten of NHRA Pro Stock thru out the 70's. While wally did a lot of work on Cylinder heads, AMC Cylinder heads are very powerful head.
http://theamcforum.com/forum/lets-go-nostalgia-pro-stock-racing_topic20972_page3.html If our AMC are unable to make power, why this? ( Stock crankshaft) http://theamcforum.com/forum/lets-go-nostalgia-pro-stock-racing_topic20972_page4.html U need to come out to the AMC Nationals and see those slow AMC's. you are totally misinformed. ALL SS/AMX ARE AMC POWERED!!!!!! the only Super stock cars that are faster are Hemi Powered Superstock. U need to be way more informed!!!! Allan Edited by Aljav - Jan/15/2011 at 4:38pm |

I will give the original poster one thing, there are frequently high HP ford/chev/mopar engines for sale for cheap that make big horsepwer. they would temp anyone.
but if you want to build 700hp from scratch, and i believe stickshifter has mentioned this before in a different thread, it all starts getting into custom pieces and machine work and the cost evens out.
but back to the smartest post in this thread...the entire thing is useless without pictures. I will start holding my breath now.

I think he is confusing a 351 W with a 351Cleveland 500 ponies with bolt on parts. I wish I had kept 20 years of time cards . I built just about all engine types over the years . and getting over 500 HP costs no mater what you start with. and believe it or not the highest HP from factory I ever had was a 1970 Olds 98. 455 . HP rating 525hp , 422 lbs/tq

AHA, the truth comes out. I read it on the web, it must be true! Those guys wouldn't put anything on their web site that wasn't true, right?
Oh, the great mis-information stupid-highway. How many technical web sites can I come up with that are totally wrong without trying........ tooooo many.
How about the transmission expert who swore that the pressures behaved a certain way, and a (former) member who argued that the site was totally correct, even after I scanned and posted pages directly out of the tech manuals for that transmission showing not only he, but the site he worshipped was wrong?? But it was on that fellow's web site, and he knows more! (no, he was a shade-tree person, but me with factory training in transmissions didn't know as much, I guess)
Even some of the better car magazines have come out and touted AMCs advanced engineering. Back in the day, Popular Mechanics and other magazines marvalled over AMC's ingenious designs and their engine abilities. And right on MOPAR using some of the AMC engine engineering after they engulfed AMC - not because AMC was inferior, but because they had some technology that was better than MOPAR.
Yeah, don't forget the trans-am racing............
Before you go quoting and touting web sites, you might just visit GAD and Cordova AMC Nationals and see just what AMC engines have to offer.
You've been believing and listening to too many AMC haters.
So far I see no facts from this - only opinions based not even on first-hand experience, but from "what he reads" and hears from others! Of course if you hang out in the Mustang and Camaro forums you'll come to believe AMC was all crap all of the time and never had a good engine. DUH.
>>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.<<
Where the @#$ did THAT come from? 15K? Joking, right? Even after all the threads here on how some folks have turned some pretty decent HP on a budget - Ken Parkman and his engine a while back - bet it wasn't a 15K budget there unless he's got more dough than I imagine.
In some forums, some folks would be screaming "troll"............... Edited by billd - Jan/15/2011 at 11:14pm |

TROLL?
More Like. What's the air speed velocity of a Swallow? Troll or zealot. Makes no real difference as his three questions and assorted answers are diatribe either fabricated to stir the pot or worse. (Like he realty believes what he speaketh)... Party on Garth, Pacer not needed. |

Oh, and I suppose you think we really landed on the moon too. I read that was faked. I don't think this is over. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour?
