When did the AMC 401 V8 come out?
The AMC 401 V8 was the powerful around 400 cubic-inch displacement V8 engine which AMC sorely needed since the mid-1960s. Its arrival for the 1971 model year may have been a little late but it still had a big impact on the automotive world during the 1970s.

Which is bigger AMC 390 or 401 engine?
The 390 and 401 engines used larger ones than the smaller 304, 327, and 343 mills. The 401 was the biggest, strongest engine that AMC offered. While its brute strength was only on display from the factory for one year, its reliability and toughness lasted nearly all the way to the end of the decade.
What was the horsepower of a 1972 AMC V8?
The 1972-1975 engines were rated at 255hp and used an 8.5:1 squeeze ratio inside the engine. Interestingly, AMC made the swap to use Chrysler Torqueflite transmissions after 1972 so the cranks are slightly different to accommodate that change.
