- As far as I know, that swap only been done with 1974 Bricklins, and possibly (I think) race cars. When you asked the question a couple years ago, George Schiro and Andrew Somerville were the people o

- Why? Because it is a modern engine with electronic ignition and tuned port injection. It weighs about 100 lbs less that the AMC 360. It produces more horsepower and will give much better gas mileage.

- You have a 74, so it is a moot point. My question was why not just swap a modern Ford engine vs. switching manufacturers? TT told me the 74 chassis lent itself to a Chevrolet engine much easier than

- Yes I can see dropping a chev engine to replace the AMC which has some parts issues, such as oil pump and distributor gears. BUT this is a 75, you can easily and cheaply do a small block ford to over

- Sure. I plan to keep the whole group updated. What setup are you thinking about? My Brick is a '74 and I have completely disassembled it so working in the engine compartment is fairly easy. If you go
