Thinking about hot rodding an AMC 199 - 07/21/13 05:32 PM
Is there any hope of an AMC 199 being a hot rod motor?
I was given one. ....and thought of sticking a bigger cam in it, making an dual carb intake (for mercedes zenith carbs I have) and a set of headers.
As for picking the cam....how much lift can a 1967-ish motor handle?
It looks like Lunati makes some healthy looking cams, but don't want to open a can of worms and spend $$$$ on valvetrain for a oddball motor.
