You can get 400 HP out of an AMC 360. Requires some head work and an increase in the compression ratio. The 727 can handle the torque but the rear end can't. The Dana 20 needs after market forged axl

If you really want to reduce the weight: Replace the frame with an aluminum chassis designed for greater stiffness. Drill lots of holes in the birdcage. Replace the body panels with carbon fiber repl

Actually, I wouldn't recommend drilling out the birdcage without doing a proper engineering stress analysis. The Turbo 13B swap is very interesting. I hadn't considered that option. My son the mechan

That is quite a project!!! Are you planning to keep the existing shock towers? Will the RX-7 tranny (I assume it is a 5 speed manual) handle the torque? Is there a 4 speed automatic that will fit the

My mistake. I meant to say 93 or newer F Bodies ( GM - Camero etc. ). The 94 and newer have a wider ratio ( 0.5 to 1 overdrive ). Are you planning to use an AMC engine or the Ford 351 ( or other) ?

You are right that the compressor discussed here is only 1/10 hp where as the Hummer is 1/3 hp. I have sent away for the Thomas catalog. They seem to have a range of compressors to choose from. Only
