Re: AMC's in IH trucks....

[Teamamc <teamamc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

72/74 IH trucks. They have the Horizontal grill bars.
I believe the only AMC V8 engines used were the 401.
A quick check when you lift the hood.
Look at the Thermostat housing.
if it is round you have a 401 engine.
Provided no-one swapped in another powerplant.
double check by checking the raised numbers behind the
motor mount.
If the thermostat housing is rectangular you have a 304/345/392 IH motor.
close the hood and walk away.
If you can't get the hood open look underneath as the AMC oil pan has a
rounded sump.
The IH has a flat bottomed sump.
Off topic I think they all came with 727 short tail shafts.
Keep it in mind if you need a 727 with a shorter tail shaft.
