AMC fans out there (Pics)
« on: November 05, 2010, 11:57:26 AM »
Hey All,
Just breaking into an engine (Me and CB650) I have had lying around the last couple years. Intake is off and pass side head. very clean and no lip on the cyl. walls. Nice to have a 401 for my 78 J10/J20 truck.

I can't stand AMC ever since they started showing commercials, I prefer TCM myself. ;)

If it's anything like the earlier V8s, beware of the nylon timing sprockets.  They almost make it to 100k before breaking, throwing the timing chain and trashing the valves.  343s and 390s were famous for this.

Only downfall of the later AMCs were the crappy integrated oil pump in the timing cover, and lack of rear main bearing oiling at higher RPMs.

My girlfriend in HS had an AMX, similar to this one:




She was just as hot! [sorry, no digital pics. Hard copies are in the attic so the wifey doesn't trash 'em!]
