Item Description

Find out how to build your car's muscle and still keep it original with this reprint of AMC's own racing manual. You will find a long list of performance parts for the V-8 engine and chassis, but this manual does you one better - it suggests the BEST part for each model for each year, with a list of interchangeable engine parts. Includes the original part numbers. You will also find out how to make performance modifications. You can choose to modify your engine to make it capable of 5500 rpm, 6000 rpm, 7500 rpm, or more: for each type this book tells you what combinations of carburetor, intake manifold, and camshaft to use (all with part numbers), and gives you how-to instructions for souping up the engine (such as how to rework cylinder heads). There are also blueprinting specifications, source lists for AMC and aftermarket parts, pictures of some of the race cars, and more. New condition. Buy now to find out how to make your car into a racing machine.
