    AMC is in my opinion vastly underrated. They were the last of the "Independents," the car manufacturers other than the big 3. Studebaker went out in the mid-60s. Glad AMC lasted as long as they did and that they were bought out by Chrysler, and didn't just shut down like Stude.

    Bobby Allison also had some success racing AMCs in NASCAR. His team could make a 360 run with just about anything out there. I imagine that they were using the same four bolt main blocks. I have seen and driven quite a few different AMC products in my time. Jeeps, Hornets Gremlins, etc. Knew a guy when I was just a teen in the 80s that had an AMX 390 four speed. After he wrecked it he ended up putting the engine and transmission in a Gremlin. Think he might have also installed the rear differential from the AMX as well but I don't recall. What I do remember is that with 60s on the back you couldn't hardly hold it straight under acceleration. What a ride, lol. For number 1 I would choose the CJ5, and for number 2 I would say the Javelin but I had a 72 Javelin SST which I always thought was cooler, lol. So I would take the Travelall.

The next night he showed up at my house with a black eye his dad gave him when he kicked him out of the house. Good times. I'd choose the 1970 Hornet SST and the 1971 Javelin AMX.

    AMC has been underrated for as long as I've been a car enthusiast. Their successes in TransAm and Pro Stock racing in the 70's is hardly remembered. It blew my mind that Maskin-Kanners and Wally Booth won in Pro Stock in their Hornets. They were doing ultra-trick stuff with the AMC heads, but it was working and they were competitive.

    1) Give the Bore dize in actual rather than approximation 2) The 290 and 304 had an extremely generous over bore allowance. Safe overbore allowance is .125". Likely a hold over from the Gen 1 design. Maximum overbore of a 304 to 3.875 opens it up to 325 cid. 3) If opened up to 3.875 this allows the use of the pistons for 4.0s. And possibly Chevy 283 pistons 4) All 304s were choked down smog motors. There was a lot of potential left on the table. That potential lay in different cam grinds.

    I first used the terms "Gen-1, Gen-2, and Gen-3" to describe AMC V-8s in a little "fanzine" I published for AMC back in 1998. It was in two articles I edited (authored by others) in "American Independent Magazine", Volume 1 Number 3. I defined them in three generations due to differences in the block and head castings. Of course the differences between Gen1 and Gen2 are obvious, but minor between 2 and 3 -- the port change in the head and the slight deck height increase to allow a slightly longer stroke. I received a lot of flack at the time for using these designations. Most referred to the Gen1 AMC V-8 as the "Rambler V-8" or (more accurately) the "Nash V-8" and the Gen2 and 3 as the "AMC V-8", dismissing the differences between them as minor -- which I suppose they are. But it caught on, eventually! There are still a few who insist on calling the Gen1 the "Rambler V-8" though (while it was mostly used in Ramblers, it was first used in a Nash... Nash was just discontinued a couple years later). The main reason I received a good bit of flack was that GM identified their small blocks as "Gen I, Gen II, etc.". I was told I was using GM designations for AMC engines, and that wasn't good! Apparently there was some fear they would be confused, but only a small one. Most just didn't like it because GM used the same words. I simply pointed out that: 1) I always designated them AMC Gen1, etc., and 2) "Gen" (or "GEN", as GM most often uses) is just short for "generation", and it made perfectly good sense to use the word. As you can see, it has eventually caught on with just a few hold-outs. As I said, it just makes perfectly logical sense. I wrote an extensive article tracing the AMC I-6 back to the very first Nash I-6 (AIM Vol. 7 No. 1 -- issue 27). Now that wasn't such a straight forward path! 85 years (at the time - 2003) of Nash-AMC sixes, with two distinct designs being manufactured simultaneously in several instances made "generations" difficult to use, so I used a "Series" designation starting with "Series 1A" for the first Nash designed six (1918-25 248.9 cid) and changed series number for each subsequent design. I used a letter to designate the initial design then any relatively minor changes (i.e. Series 2A and 2B). Five of the Eight total Series of Nash/AMC sixes have more than one version. A letter version had a casting change, but not a major one -- major parts will still interchange between versions. If applied to the V-8s there would be Series 1 (Gen1) and Series 2A (Gen2) and Series 2B (Gen3). It was harder to trace the six back! When I thought I was done I had another amateur AMC historian go over my work to make sure I was on track! If you'd like a copy of the two mentioned magazines drop me a DM. Some more info (including an index of all 60 issues of AIM/AMC) can be found at www.amc-mag.com or www.ramblerguy.com.

And pulled out of trans am ? Because ,they couldn't beat the amc.they suddenly had interest when penski moved to NASCAR in 74 .Lol. The Ford Cleveland also lost to and in 75 76 pro stock where Ford did have factory backing. The 71 72 javelin had the most power .factory backing is a excuse considering the funds Chevy and Ford had.

    The reason Ford pulled out of all racing in 1970 was because America Elected an AZHome named Nixson For President and He Stopped Corporate funding, The reason AMC was still funding was Becaause they were considered too small to matter to the fed! Bud Moore Won the Three races they entered in 1971 and that was with personal funds. the Boss 302 would have kicked ass had they raced all races and had Ford money behind them.

    Thank you. It was the smog that ruined them, in the mid70s when floored, they would kick down to 2nd, and not much happened. Cali cars were worse. 77 360AMC and 74 Chevy 350, both 4V, GUTLESS. On the up side, with no power, and therefore less force on the wear areas, they last a really long time.
