Not a V8, but might be where some of the confusion
comes from was the AMC Jeep using a Buick V6; the Pacer was supposed to get the
GM Wankel engine, and mid 70s-mid 80s the 121 Audi engine and 151 GM engines
used in AMC. One of the reasons (at least I have found) that many people
commonly assume AMC didn't make thier own engines.
And then there is the bigger confusion with Buick
401 vs AMC 401; Ford 390 vs AMC 390, Mopar 360 vs AMC 360 and so forth, same
cubes, different blend, but many people simply think it is same. I have been
listening to that since the 60s!

Packard 320 was used in a few 1955 and 1956 Nashes and Hudsons.
It was part of what was to be a cooperative program between AMC and
Studebaker-Packard, then the deal kind of fell apart. The Nash-AMC V-8 (as a
327 and I think also a 215) was ready for 1957, the last year of the "full
size" Nash and Hudson. I think you could still get the big 308 flathead Hudson
six along with the new V-8s.
I remember for several years after that you
could buy brand new, in the crate, Hudson sixes from JC Whitney's catalog.
They were popular where I grew up in the Sandhills of Western Nebraska--they
made great irrigation pump engines for farms and
ranches.
