[DMCForum] Re: AMC V8's [OT]



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).
