I made a point of telling them that, too. I told him about all the Gen II/III V8s being externally identical, so if they didn't make the distinction, it wasn't for lack of information. I have yet to read the article or get my hands on that copy, so I'm still eager to read it all.

I also have helped out Jim Donnelly at HMM. I think HMM is really a great magazine for AMC enthusiasts and any musclecar enthusiasts. One thing about their Big Block article is that there is a bone of contention among AMC'ers if the 390-401 should be classified as a big block seeing that the 290 thru 401 (last AMC V8 editions) were all based on the same block, just bored and stroked differently. It is hard to say that a 290, 304, etc. are big blocks.
