Question Talk to me about V8 FB's...

No, not my red one (which is being put back together as we speak). I found a hardtop manual-everything S model FB for dirt cheap (blown motor) and ideas starting brewing...

I have an AMC 401 V8 and a T-5 with the AMC bellhousing and input shaft here. Also a T-5 driveshaft and a 150-shot nitrous kit.

I'm thinking buy the S, drop in the 401/5-Speed, swap out the rear end and front brakes (5-lug drag stuff), and go for a wheel-standing drag car.

I'd still have my 12A'd GSL so


Sooooo, what's it like? OK to swap? OK to work on? What kind of issues did you run into? HOW FAST ARE THEY?


For the record, the 401 should be 500HP/600TQ before the nitrous...
