Impressive, could you get that Cross Ram intake setup from the factory? That cross ram would really help the top end on the drag strip. These cars were a sleeper killer.

On the SC/Rambler - no. Dealer install. But it did come standard on the 1969 Hurst Super Stock AMX

Give me the Rambler Scrambler with cross ram any day over the AMX. Lighter car, quicker. Good info.

The SC/Rambler is rated at 315HP while the SS AMX is rated at 420HP.

Found Rambler Scrambler weighed in at 2994 vs 3074 for AMX. Both cars with 390- 315 horsepower engines ran 14.2 Scrambler vs 14.4 AMX. I am comparing the 390-315 horsepower motors here.

The Hurst SS AMX was designed to compete on the drag strip. Manual drum brakes, 12.4 compression ratio, 4.44 posi rear. And a sticker price of $5994 which is 2X the price of the SC/Rambler.

53 were made to compete in NHRA SS/D and SS/E. 11.43@127 mph.

The most famous racer to drive one was:

Beautiful drag car. Like the looks of these and the Rambler Scrambler also. AMC did well in Pro Stock for a bit with Booth-Arons performance from Mich.
