Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh??????First off all 66-91 AMC V8s are 
externally alike and it doesn't matter if it was a truck or car engine their 
the same engine.after Chrysler bought AMC they just used the remaning AMC 360 
V8s in the remaining parts of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer any 87-91 JeepGrand 
Wagoneer has a AMC 360 not a mopar nor a ford a AMC V8 and the 401 being a 
chevy??? LMAO..the 401 is all AMC it like the AMC 390 and other AMC V8s also 
did not use ford intakes nor ford or chrysler manifolds. also the 401 is by 
far not weak my friend uses one in his 9 sec gremlin its the mass produced 
Chiivy smallblocks that had the consistancy of pewter"Sorry Rod"and the only 
T 10s that will work on a AMC V8 is one FROM a AMC V8 and those were found 
only on the Hi Po AMCS such as the AMX,Javelin,SC/Rambler ect. i'm not being 
an asshole but you have your AMC facts waaaay wrong here!!
