Golden Lime SC360

Nice, one of my favorite car shows. I covered it when I was writing for Car Craft - AMC folks are some of the best car guys around.

Pictured are the Hornet on the shore of Lake Michigan and another photo on the site of the original AMC assembly factory. It’s not an empty lot called the Kenosha innovation neighborhood. The city shows the scars of all the industry leaving, mainly after the horror show that was NAFTA, but obviously we’ve been losing industry for longer than that. But it is reviving itself and is great to see.

Also pictured is the new connecting rods for the stroker engine I’m starting to build. A whole 80 dollars for 3,000 dollars worth of Pankl NASCAR 6.200 rods. I also picked up an original metal fan shroud for the car and installed it. They’re a little hard to find so I was happy to pick this up in Kenosha at the swap meet. I picked up some other cool parts too. I might make a separate post about some cool SC360 trivia in the lounge.

Also picked up a 100 dollar 304. I love buying these engines. They use the same crank as a 360, I get all of the factory hardware, and a ton of other parts in an engine that no one really wants so I can get them dirt cheap. This one was sitting on the passenger floorboard of an originally green 4 speed Rebel Machine. This poor car hurts to look at. But would cost more than it’s worth to restore.
