Just remembered, Horsepower TV did an AMC 360 build using everything I stated above, with the exception of a custom ground COMP solid lifter cam and the use of an Edel Torker2 intake, with a Summit 750cfm carb. It made 477hp on the dyno.

They also did a 2.3 carb build with Esslinger for a roundy-round car.
 
They have some neat stuff on there. Highly doubt most of the guys on any of those Powerblock shows has actually had to turn a wrench for a living. But, neat nonetheless. Don't watch it too often.

They are a small block with 2 cylinders chopped off.

I'm going to rock the 232 I6 in my Javelin for a while. That way I can get to enjoy my car while I build the 360 for it. Nothing worse then a perpetual project that you never get to enjoy. Will install an Offy intake, 450cfm Holey, convert the dist to electronic, make my own dual headers, and probably through in a cam and lifter kit from Isky.
 
You pretty much hit it on the head there pat. This car will be certified for 8.50s, everything is over kill, I had a bullet prof th400 built to hold over 1500hp with trans brake sfi bell on it the works, same goes with the rear it's a 8.8-9" hiybrid mosser 35 spline full spool with 9" ends. So the motor will be disposable I've got 4 5.3-4.8s in the shed out back. I'm gonna run carb and some juice for a while than ill have to change the rear gear and get converter re stalled and go efi turbo prob around 88mm single should be able to put down 800+ hp enough to make you poop you self lol.

Not really. A v8 is for those who don't want the hassle of turbocharging, or have the money for a supercharger. Not that I don't see the benefits of turbo, or, supercharging. It's just not for me at this time. If I was to build a car for the track only, then, yeah, I may just do a forced induction system on it. But, for street use, I'm more then happy to stick with a v8:tup:. There are AMC guys making 1000hp with forced induction and efi.

Oh, and there are lots of cars that make great et's naturally aspirated. Ann Erb's 1970 AMX is all AMC, and sports an aluminum block, 430 something cid AMC v8, backed by a powerglide, and runs 8.5 seconds in the 1/4 mile. Naturally aspirated.

Boost is the only way my Tbird will ever have a chance to have a V8. I wanna be able to say its still a Turbo Coupe!!! If that were ever to happen, the original parts would get prepped for storage incase I ever wanted it stock agian. Only problem is 5.0 turbo kits that are quality arent cheap!!
 
My uncle takes me crabbing. Gotta love crap when its fresh out of the washington harbor.
