Re: [Amc-list] 70 Donohues

Joe,
Is it ok if I toss a question in here??
I was unaware that the mythical 360 had heavier walls also. My memory from
back in 1972 or 73 is of seeing in an AMC book at a dealer that the special
360 block had provisions for four bolt main bearings. Did it also have
heavier cylinder walls than a normal 360??
