I'm pretty sure the poly uses it's own cam because of the valve arrangement. There was a Poly in the Engine Masters Challenge a few years ago.

I do believe you are correct.
It's a "Kenosha Cadillac"

I remember as a kid going to the wrecking yard to get a rear axle for my javelin and the counter guy kept calling it a rambler...
Even at that young age as now I knew he was being a di**...

AHhhh yes it is.
But the point is to see the country from the blacktops and just enjoying the ride! You see absolutely nothing from an interstate!
Back to the argument or I mean discussion!!!
My Stepdad had a 62 Classic with a 3 on the tree and o/d. I was too young then to care about gas mileage but I bet it got high 20's on the highway. He later bought a 67 Ambassador with a 232/auto. It had manual steering and brakes but beautiful dark brown paint called "Stallion Brown". My sister's second car was a 68 Javelin. Red/white stripe. A real sharp car. I took it to Prom in 69. Wish I had pics of that.
He may not have meant anything by it. Nash Rambler and Hudson merged in the fifties to try and survive because both were getting beat by the big 3 automakers. Nash and Hudson "sort of" dropped their names and went with AMC. I say sort of because my '64 title still says "Nash" on it. Remember the Hudson Hornets? AMC Hornets? Rambler to some become a trademark name that stemmed from Nash. Because Nash Rambler was a given. Can't say what the guy meant, but maybe he was just using the trademark name.

I almost bought a 65 Marlin. Look wise it was kind of cross between a 66 Barracuda and 66 Charger.
I was looking at what I thought was Charger for over 5 years. It was sitting beside a barn a fair distance from the road.
Turned out to be a Marlin. Cool car.
Me too Dave. It was maroon with a AMC 327 under the hood. A set of Cragars and I would have been set. LOL
the machine Amc had some radicalcars back then . then the Pacer happened

Where that 327 was sitting, a 401 would pop in place.
The AMC 327 was a nice engine. Maybe not SBC 327 nice. I had a Madadore for 2 weeks with the 401. Smooth as silk power.

There's a Pacer at our local track...
I can't remember what it was running but it sure looked like nothing I would want to mess with..
I always wanted a gremlin x.. seen one at a car show a couple years ago..

with 3000.00 a slant 6 will beat a 340
there were always a few Gremlins street racing in the 70's one had the 304 the other a 401 or 390 , they were both super fast not many wanted toGremlin"X"...with a 304...same numbers as a 340 anyway.
the gremlins that ran on the street in the 70's were fast as can be , 304 pr 390 not many wanted to run against them . there is a nice AMX for sale close to me and i'm thinking of buying it . then i think Mopar parts are hard to find Amc must be worseGremlin"X"...with a 304...same numbers as a 340 anyway.
