Re: [AMC-list] : QUICK Help me ID this V8 block

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If it's the service block, it could have the original valve cover tag. What's the letters in the VIN? Can you see the flexplate? The balance weight is almost a completely filled panel for 401. Pipecleaner down a plug hole to check the stroke. Seems like an early 360 2bbl intended for an AMX or something. Eddie's site lists it as a 401 block. http://www.planethoustonamx.com/main/amc_engine_casting_numbers.htm
