Hi josh, You know amc soppied alot of stuff from ma mopar in the day. i believe the trans is basically the same.you may need to get some mopar motor mounts then fab them up to fit the duster, the trans mount shold be the same. Id do it. sounds like a cool project.

 

You'll need an AMC tranny as I don't think the bell housings are the same. It would be a cool swap though. If you have a SB or BB 727 tranny (or have a friend that has one) try mating them up and see.

I have an AMC 360 in my J10 and those motors are great! They make a ton of torque stock and don't take much to make a lot more.

 

tim , is the dist. in the front or back on your 360 amc? and the exhaust logs, theyre on the sides of the heads not the bottom like ford right?

 

The dizzy is in the front of the 304, 360 and 401 motors. The exhaust ports are on the side of the head.

Here is a pretty good pic of one that i found on Photobucket.

 

cool , thanks tim, its been so long since ie looked at 1, i couldnt remember.you can really build a 360 up pretty good.

 

That one in the pic has the Edelbrock MPFI system on it along with a set of Hedman headers.

 

Update?

 

my mate bought this 360 yesterday , it's getting a freshen up then going into his 68 rambler rebel right hand drive Aussie car . btw what sort of gear box is it & are the any good ???? is a 727 better .

 

Dead - I know in the FSJs they came with Th400 and then went to the 727. Both are great trannies, both have the AMC bellhousing and the TH400 uses Chevy parts and the 727 uses SB Mopar parts.

If the tranny is a TH400, on the pan will be stamped "Division Of General Motors - Hydromatic". Another way to tell is how the pan is shaped.

 

good on ya m8 . my mate says it's a m11 & he reckons there tuffer than a 727 thanks again
