I'm going to try and do the Fort Wayne to Norwalk stretch just to see what it's like. Since I'm doing 2 other road tours this year I can't do the whole thing plus I've not heard much good about it which is why I want to see for myself how it runs.

Did the whole tour last year. Had a great time.
Saw maybe 20-25 AMC's.
Our AMX did just fine with the 360 although there was a custom Javelin that had an LS conversion

I am planning on doing the whole tour in my 65 Marlin, this is my first year. I am coming from northern NY (right by the canadian border) and plan on leaving on thursday ,june 6th. I don't know about caravaning,but maybe we could cruise the tour as an AMC group, that would be awesome.

I understand that some people are purists and want originality in their own car, but an LS engine is more modern and superior in every way. I have 2 AMC cars with nicely built 360's and a Corvette with its original LS1. If the man wants to put an LS engine in his own car, more power to him.

| An engine is just one part of a car. Can you change all parts of the engine except the block and not be garbage? Cam, intake, headers, heads, valves, rods, pistons, distributor, water pump? What makes a car still worth owning? OK to change wheels, tires, shocks, springs, seats, steering wheel? Is the worth of a car just tied to the block itself?

I did the Atlanta stop last year in my 70 AMX, will try to do Bristol and/or Kentucky Speedway stops this year - I live between these two stops -- don't have time for the whole tour this year, partly because I want to make the ECTA event in Blytheville, AR, the end of that week.

I ran on -70 from Terre Haute, IN to O'Riley Raceway Park. They were all going a lot slow than me, so I saw about a hundred of them.
