slip a 401 in there,with a 727 torqueflite,make sure its 72 or later motor,to avoid machining crank hub for adapter.100 cubes is a big deal.plus a 401 has a steel crank,forged rods.They fly.

did you have to do any mods to the power steering pump to fit that distributor?
-
is it a injection engine?

Great looking car! A friend with a 1,000 HP+ 401 powered drag car had 2 dizzy gear failures and replaced his gear with a stock one out of a stock AMC engine and held up fine. Those after market dizzy gears aren't very good usually. I had a Mark Donohue Javelin with Hedmans that leaked badly too. I threw away the paper gasket using the stock ones. Let the engine cool overnight, then retightened them dead cold. Did it again dead cold the next day. Never leaked again! Give it a try.

i'm looking for fenders and doors mostly, they are pretty bad. the plastic is pretty messed up but could be fixed. any interior plastic. my tub is pretty solid, on the outside. thanx for the reply
I have biult a few 304s also. I find the 5.0 class very competive, and AMC motor make so much torque that they actually out perform other 5.0s on the low end. The Ford 5 litre works great, and the old Chevy 302 really made the others look bad. I owned a new 73 Hornet X hatchback and really loved the handling..
