Re: [AMC-list] Last 401

[Glen Hoag <hoag@xxxxxx>]

Just be careful; at one time, International had its own 401, which is 
a big, heavy monster.  IH called the AMC 401 a "V400", to distinguish 
it from their own engine.  The article on the Scout in Wikipedia 
states that "some 73/74 pickups and Travelalls received the AMC 
engine due to a shortage of IH V-392 engines."  IH already had a 
contract with AMC to use the 258 in their light trucks (including 
Travelalls and Scouts), so the 401 was presumably an extension of 
that agreement.  The IH 401s were supplied with a 2-V carburetor and manifold.

IH was a leading supplier of cab & chassis units to the school bus 
and motor home markets, so it may be possible to find 401s powering 
those vehicles.
