Wouldn't be practical with a stock front suspension. The AMC cars use a loaded upper control arm with the spring on top of the upper arm, similar to late 60's Fords, which severely limits the space for headers. I run a small block Mopar in my 81 AMC Spirit, which has the same basic engine compartment as the Hornet, and the header clearance is tight. I've considered either switching mine to struts, like Fox body Mustangs, so I can then roll the towers in, or putting a Mustang II style crossmember and coil-overs in it. But I just can't see even a low deck fitting in, even with manifolds, without modifying the spring/shock towers.
