	Super Stock and Drag Illustrated magazine, August, 1972
		Taking the engines as groups or families, the 290 and 343 form a group, with 3.75" bore and 3.28" stroke for the 290, and a 4.08" bore and 3.28" stroke for the 343.
		The 390 engine is by itself at 4.165" and 3.574" bore and stroke, and the 401 measures 4.165" by 3.68".
		Engineers caution that no metal should be removed from the inlet end of the port up to the point where the turn starts toward the throat, with the exception of casting flaws.

		AMC always made a good automobile, and though they may not have enjoyed the mainstream sales and success of the "Big Three" automakers, their cars and engines remain cult classics of sorts today.
		Though AMC did have a V8 prior to this, they were large block motors, and though capable of great power, the were less suitable for a market that had been increasingly dominated by the innovative Chevy V8 and Mopar V8 Small Blocks (since 1955) and the Ford V8 Small Block (since 1963).

		The GEN-1 engine is physically the size of a big-block Ford or GM engine, and is sometimes called a "big-block".
		It is believed that AMC kept the 390 this last year due to the reputation it had garnered in the two seater AMX, which was discontinued after 1970.
		The AMC 360 in³ (5.9 L) 360 produced 235 to 245 hp (175 to 183 kW) in 1970 to early 71, 175 to 220 hp from mid 71-75, 140-180 hp in 1976, 129 hp in 1977, and 140 hp from 1978-91.

		Like any engine, the AMC V8 can be made to perform with an investment of money, time, and planning, using many stock parts and a few items from the unfortunately limited supply in the performance aftermarket.
		When it comes to building an AMC engine of specific displacement, the whole problem of mating blocks to cranks, rods, pistons, and pins will have to be dealt with, and there are important differences in size and quality in all of these components.
		AMC dealers do have a small selection of manifolds to sell, though, and the most popular one is the 3199763 for ’70-'72 engines.

	The AMC Gremlin - AMC's successful compact car
		AMC was successful in beating both GM and Ford to the punch with this program, since neither the Chevrolet Vega nor the Ford Pinto were introduced until September, 1970 (as 1971 models).
		By 1970, AMC had become a car company that was trying to be all things to all people, instead of concentrating on the economy end of the market as had been done successfully under George Romney during the late 1950s and early '60s.
		These engines were the tried-and-true AMC seven main bearing sixes that had gained a reputation for durability and economy since their introduction in mid-1964.

	Jeep Jeepster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The VJ Jeepster was powered by the 62 hp (53 kW) "Go Devil" engine, a 134 in³ (2.2 L) straight-4 also used in the CJ.
		The Jeepster was revived in 1966 in the form of the Jeepster Commando ("C101").
		The Commando used one of three AMC engines, the 232 in³ (3.8 L) or 258 in³ (4.2 L) AMC Straight-6 or 304 in³ (5.0 L) 20,223 AMC-spec "C104" Jeep Commandos were made in 1972 and 1973.

		This incensed AMC president George Mason so much that he ordered his engineers to develop a V8 engine as soon as possible (the hand-shake agreement was meant to foment trust between the two companies -- we see how that worked!).
		AMC never produced a factory four bolt main bearing engine as they felt the two bolt cap was adequate, but they did cast the webs thick enough to be drilled for aftermarket four bolt main caps for racing purposes.
		AMC decided to keep the forgings, either due to low numbers of the engines or to retain high reliability.

	Rambler V8 Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Below are pictures showing the details of the Rambler 327 V8 engine block, as well as a comparison in size and design of the AMC (Gen II) and Rambler (Gen I) V8 engines.
		The Rambler rod is 1.00" wide, while the AMC 390 rod is 0.92" wide.
		These longer forged Rambler rods would be a good candidate for use in a 390/401 AMC V8, if the crank's rod journals were widened.

	Novak Conversions - General Engine Conversion Options
		If too small an engine is used for the work to be done, it will operate at low vacuum for longer periods and use more gas than a larger engine that would not be working as hard.
		Engine and vehicle management computers are now a major part of modern automotive systems, and therefore, a significant concern when doing a conversion.
		AMC V8's have always made good power and have some good design built into them, but the increasing obsolescence in their parts drive the costs of maintenance up.

	AMC V8 engines - history, descriptions, and more
		When interviewed about the K-F V8 in the 1970s, Potter was vague about whether he brought the design with him or just did something similar from scratch, but surviving pictures of the K-F 288 show an engine that appears identical to the first-generation AMC V8.
		AMC and S-P went ahead with their first tentative plans toward merger, which would have been agreed upon while Mason was still alive, and which involved offering the smaller Clipper version of the new Packard V8 in 1955 Nash Ambassadors and the new Nash-bodied Hudson Hornets.
		This was because the AMC V8 went into what had been the shorter Nash Statesman/Hudson Wasp platform, which had been powered by Nash and Hudson sixes respectively up to that time.

	AMC History
		This engine was adopted by Dodge to replace the 2.2L as the base engine of the Dakota mid-size truck around 1990.
		This incensed AMC president George Mason so much that he ordered his engineers to develop a V8 engine as soon as possible (the hand-shakle agreement was meant to foment trust between the two companies -- we see how that worked!).
		AMC did this by using a 57.92cc combustion chamber (commonly rounded to 58cc) and adjusting the recesses in the tops of pistons.

	The Coupe Coop!
		The major change between the engines was a deck height of 9.165 inches in 1966-'69 and the change in deck height to 9.208 inches in 1970.
		AMC offered only the intake and linkage, so the carb selection was up to the owner, but anything over about 650 cfm didn't work particularly well.
		AMC also offered a 8.5-quart deep sump oil pan (448 5741) which had to be ordered directly from two California companies, Aviad Metal or Racing Components.

	AMC Hornet.com - A Brief History of the AMC Hornet
		The AMC Hornet was an attempt to meld the frugal image of the Rambler with an image of luxury into a new type of compact car.
		While the high option cars are most valued by current AMC collectors, the low option Hornets make good hot rods by merit of their relatively simple lightweight all steel unibody and very good interchangeability of factory performance parts, making an AMC 401 V8 engine basically a bolt in modification.
		The AMC Hornet as a collector car is supported with active, loyal AMC enthusiast clubs for part sourcing and information.

	401 V8 Engine Rebuild
		When I first bought our '77 Wagoneer, I knew AMC engines had a reputation for low oil pressure, but I didn't know enough to realize that the 401 V8 in this particular Jeep was much lower than it should have been.
		The stock intake manifold for an AMC V8 is cast iron and weighs 56 lbs.
		Since I didn't want to yank the engine until I was sure that the cylinders would need to be honed, all the work so far had been done with the engine still in the Jeep.

		Note that you can't escape the filing by swapping the late manifold onto the early engine because of the deck height difference.

		Jeep wagoneers did have chevy 327 engines for a few years in the 60s and then went to Buick 350s for a couple more years before amc started putting in their own engines.
		The 327 developed from the Nash V8 of the '50s (started out at like 250 cid) and the 290 was the first in the series that spawned the 343, 360, 390 and 401.
		The later AMC V8 is a different story - as proven by the 360/390/401s in Javelins and AMX's.

		Very soon I made some disappointing discoveries, It looks like the engine broke a timing chain at one time, I figured this out because I found that composite plastic material that the chain sprockets are made of in the oil pan.
		Probably when the timing chain went the engine ran without oil for a little and the bearings wore also this is the time that 7 pushrods were bent.
		I installed a new clutch and gaskets on the trans and transfer case, reattached them to the engine and in it went.
