    360 AMC is no relation to 360 mopar. I think it is a punched 343 (?) from the 290-343-390-401 series.

    AMCs did use the 727 (TorqueCommand?) behind the V-8s in the AMX/Javelins!

    AMC was really wierd because they might use a Mopar transmission in a particular model for one year, then use a GM tranny in the same model for the next year. Guess you have to do a DNA test on each one to see who it's really related to.

    By the way, Jensen Interceptors used Chrysler 383 and 440 engines. Another cousin.

    The problem with restoring an AMC is that parts are alot harder to find and not much is being reproduced yet.

    amc used chrysler auto transmisions (with amc spesific cases), ford starters, and i think alot of gm electrical (alt ect) the engines were all amc , but carbs were whatever was cheapest that year. the manual transmisions i dont know about, i think that was whatever was cheap also. even tho the engines were all amc, the V8 lifters do interchange with small block mopar. however amc did oil the valve train through the pushrod like a ford   :clueless:  . AMC was for the most part over the years a dependable simple cheap and economical car. the AMX , javalen , some gremlens, and some rebels were considered "muscle cars" and were quite fast, but the styling was, to be polite pretty unique..

    I don't think any other car could be outstyled by the Pacer.

    I think the AMC Pacer was part of their downfall!  My dad bought a new 70 Hornet SST , a few years later my brother bought it.  It had a 232 6 cylinder and tourqueflete, he put on headers, cam, milled the head, 2 or 4 brl, can'tremember, and shift kit.  That Hornet would pull the front wheels off the ground, and beat a lot of v8s around at the time!
