Motor ID again...


Blaine S.
 

Thanks for the reply, Reed. However, that page didn't answer my
questions... My brother has a 360 out of a Jeep truck. On the block right
underneath the motor mount, "360" is embossed. My motor doesn't have that,
so I don't know any other way to tell what it is. According to that page,
the 304 wasn't made till the '70's. I know this motor to be '60's vintage.
I've been told that the 390 was made in the '60's, and now I see that the
304 wasn't made in the '60's. So I'm thinking that it's a 390. I'm not
sure what it came out of. Has anyone on this list ever seen a 390 and know
how to identify one?

Thanks again,

Blaine

Anyone know how to tell the difference between a 304 and 390? I can't
remember what's in my Jeep. I know the motor is about circa 1969...
What
years did AMC make the 304? What about the 390?

Blain-

Go to:

http//www.amxfiles.com

And go to the "Resources" section then go to the "Technical Info"
section and scroll down to a link called "AMC Small Block V-8's" and
there is a brief description of the 290/340/390 engine of your vintage.

If you don't find what your looking for in the site I'm sure there's
some real AMC gurus there that could answer your questions.
