Mother Mopar's Red-Headed Stepchild 360

The heads were in fact so crappy that everybody in pro stock through the 70s wanted their port design. Fred Brewer put the AMC design to good use in the big block Mopar heads he came out with. Anybody wanting to compete with a big block Mopar in pro stock on the 70s had his heads. So no, AMC head design and port configuration was some of the best there was. Read up on it.

AMC's suffered from a poor oiling system. Metal gears in a aluminum housing, not smart. Oil flow to and from the oil pump was poor. If you're going to spin a amc v/8 over 5,500 you have to modify the oiling process or the back half of the engine will have oil starvation.
