ABOUT
::-
Rebuild your American Motors Corporation
(AMC) V-8 engine with help and guidance
from Don’s Auto Parts & Machine Shop, which is located in
Kenosha, Wisconsin, the home of American Motors! The AMC Gen II
and Gen III V-8 family consists of 290-, 304-, 343-, 360-, 390-,
and 401-ci engines. Manufactured in Kenosha, Wisconsin, these
engines reside between the fenders of classic cars (such as the
AMC Javelin, AMX, Gremlin, AMC Rebel Machine, Matador, and
Rambler and SC/Rambler) as well as Jeep CJs and full-size Jeeps.
If this is your first time rebuilding an AMC engine, this book
contains detailed photos and instructions beginning with
disassembling your engine and determining the machining that
will be needed. All of the fine details about boring and honing,
crankshaft grinding, balancing, cylinder head rebuilding, engine
assembly, oil modifications, and performance upgrades are
detailed with photos. Many of the specialized machining steps
that are needed for a performance build that your local machine
shop might not know about are included in this book. AMC V-8
Engines: Rebuild & Modify not only shows the steps of a
rebuild in detail but also helps you determine what kind of
build is right for your project. It will assist you in making
the correct decisions on compression ratio, camshaft selection,
and which performance parts are needed. Many engine replacement
parts are getting hard to find, so this book reveals some of the
aftermarket and restoration companies that specialize in
remaking AMC engine parts. Items such as camshafts, forged
pistons, connecting rods, and cylinder head manufacturers are
covered.
Get ready to rebuild your AMC V-8. We look
forward to helping you along the way!
