I Think like you, My choice too! I remember standing in the Pasadena dealership trying to figure out how to get that exact car. Did Not Happen, the budget would not stand it. I waited a Year & Bought a Corvair Monza with the 4 carb 140 hp. engine in Midnight Blue, silverblue naugahyde interior. 4 speed of course. 8 Months later Dean Moon Blueprinted the engine and had 225 horse at the clutch.
Not long after I took the 3 piece flywheel to GM's Century City Zone office (I managed to spin the rivets out so it was in 3 pieces) for replacement. After a heated discussion they complied. Sold the car the following year

Marty didn't that thing have a 304 Rambler engine? I'm fairly sure Ford passed on supplying eng's.

It used both. It started with the AMC but eventually was equipped with Ford engines.
