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??
