Re: [AMC-list] Following up on AMC V8 external dimensions

the only change was the deck height got taller in 1970 and up. The metal was 
always thicker and befier in the 390 and 401 vs smaller bore engines. Also core 
shift in the sand mold from pouring the engine blocks could vary. They can vary 
1/4" per side. im just talking block dimentions. The engines all fit in place of 
eachother.

Indeed the 390 block is a bit wider than the 360 block at least.  I have a 
couple of 360s in my spare room and a 1970 390 in the garage.  The 360s (casting 

3195528) are about 18 1/8 inches across the widest dimension.  The 390 block 
(casting 3195529) is about 18 1/2 inches across the widest point.   Can't check 
deck height.  Joe Fulton

Larry wrote recently that the 390 and 401 blocks are a bit wider than
290,343,360 blocks. I'm assuming the deck height is slightly taller?
Steve- I have the various block- should be straightforward to measure.
