Vhy did you not build a high performance AMC motor for it?????????????? Well I know. You do not have the knowledge to do it. Sad story is that a mild AMC engine will outperform your motor…
That's it. Gonna do a pontiac 400 build for my pontiac.
I had that same car without that interior. I redid it all. Changed the color to irons russet red pearl
Trans Am tribute? Clear;y should have been a 305 cu in race build according to the race specs of the time.
Sorry! You lost me at LS. A 401 SO would have been the right route.
When you're done butchering that beautiful AMC, Would you sell it to a real AMC fan!
I would have loved to have seen them punch out an AMC 401 to see what it could really do.
Wish this guy had another pocket for some more pens
You lost me when you didn't use an AMC motor.
Absolutely pathetic.
It's hard to believe that Pat could do anything to make him seem more lame than I already think he is, but JESUS how much of a DORK do you have to be to walk around with a tape measure, flashlight, and leatherman standing 4 inches off your belt/right pocket!?!? Does he think he's a carpenter or what?!? 😂🤣😂🤣 He has 22 pounds of dorkus in his shirt pocket including of course his nifty pocket protector (definitely the only protection he'll have to worry about)!! And with all those utensils in his right pocket, what better place for a massive notepad sized smartphone in his left shirt pocket!! How long does it take him to put that costume on? It literally looks like he's dressed as a dork for Halloween! 😂🤣😂🤣
"Time for Torque, jet for horsepower"??!? No Pat, you completely made that up and it makes zero sense! Timing affects HP just as much as it does torque and jets don't make much of either..
I don't like N r s !
Love the 4 barrels!
Sacrilege! Putting a bow tie in a Javelin. A stock 401 SO would push it close, I believe, to 175 mph. Imagine having a built 401..
Terrible!!! Who in their right mind would do an LS swap into a AMC Javelin. Rebuild the 304 or put a bigger AMC V8 in it! 360, 390, 401???
Late model Hemi 707 HP IMO would ve a lot cooler than an over done ls swap
This was totally disgusting putting a GM engine inside a very unique and rare pony car. Both Wally Booth (Pro-Stock) and Roger Penske (Trans Am) built very competitive AMC engines with them occasionally knocking out the "Big 3" on race day.
Love the burn outs.
YOU PUT A LS IN IT AND I WE WILL NOT BE HAPPY….. AND SENSE WE ARE PAYING THE BILLS ……
Loved my javies, 68 base 343 4spd,, 70 sst hipo360 4spd,, even the 74 base 304 column shift automatic with all creature comforts cruiser type
I'll bet heavily they went with an LS for this reason: $$$$
I'll subscribe when they start putting Ford in a Chevy. Why not do something for the real enthusiast? If you're going to butcher the car why not install a IRS and update the front suspension?
even a nicely built 390 AMC would be more obtainable than seek and destroy missions looking for a 401 AMC
Where's the 9k revs?
Should've changed it to a shorter stroke.
missed the rpm goal by 2000
It wont make same hp once dominator and spider intake is swapped out for efi.
I don’t know if you guys realize this but I mean a motor is a motor, no matter who made it it’s still does the same stuff just with a different brand on it.
People who keep things stock suck. Nothin wrong with big power. Everything there doing can always be put back to stock later. Chill out boomers!
