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



With a three hole balancer, that dates the balancer to before AMC switched to a four hole balancer. When was that, 73??

Jesse,  have you had the pan off the block?

Does it have a full web at the main caps?

N   - 360 2bbl (also 290 up to 1969 but that doesn't work here)
added note to above statement, didn't Jesse say that the Wagoneer this engine is in is a 68 and was ordered with an AMC powertrain?
Could this be a 290 service block?
Did AMC do service blocks without casting displacements in 68 and 69 too?

Is it possible ths engine was an AMC "crate" engine, installed to replace a blown 68 engine? maybe it is a 71 401?? If the 68 engine was a 390 and AMC didn't have anymore 390 service blocks or engines for 68/69 replacements, the dealer may have swapped in a 71 401??

???????????

The engine tag says:

3   - 1970/79/83
02  - February
N   - 360 2bbl (also 290 up to 1969 but that doesn't work here)
18  - 18th day of Feb.

Some early 360s had 2 sizes of 2100.

Quoting Jesse <j2sax@xxxxxxxxx>:

Guy claims it's a 401, but it's not, though I don't know what it is.

Block ID on Back 3198951
Service Block with No numbers embossed on the side of the block
1.23 Motorcraft 2 Bbbl (not the 1.21 normally use on 360's)
Vlv cover tag 302N18
3 hole Balancer
TH400 with Dana 20... BOP bellhousing pattern adapter, etc...

Original owner of this 68 Wagoneer said he ordered with a special AMC
drivetrain

What do you think?

Jesse
