Nope -- every single AMC V8 was proprietary. Check out Edelbrock website: only one aftermarket manifold for all AMC's. That's because all V8's used same casting. 300 inline 6 indeed Ford (have one in my truck), but all AMC inlines before 1979 were either 232 or 258 (same engine, different strokes). Am still driving AMC I drove in high school BTW. Only a 151 though (sigh).
