What the hell kind of engine is this?

Alot of aftermarket parts out there and them motors can run real good..

 

Scratchy itchy pee-pee?

 

I'll get some pics tomorrow, it already dark here. Its a 4 door '54 super wasp. I think the styling is pretty cool, but you know, too many doors.

I'm getting ready to sell it and just wanted to id the motor before I let it go.

 

I don't think IHC made any of the parts on the AMC V-8 series engines, but IHC did make the cylinder head casting for the 232 and 258 cid. 6-cylinder engine.

IHC bought 401 cid AMC V-8 engines for use in the International pickup and Travelall in the period around ''74 & '75 when their own factory could not keep up with the demand for the IHC 304, 345, and 392 cid engines.

International also offered the 258 cid 6-cylinder AMC engine in the Scout for a while, which they purchased fully assembled from AMC.

International also purchased the a Nissan 6-cylinder diesel, (both turbo and non-turbo) from Nissan during '78, '79, and '80 when they were trying to continue to meet the constantly escalating Government-mandated C.A.F.E. fuel economy regulations.

Here's a neat article on a small AMC build in Rod-n-Custom... 400 hp/450 ft-lb

Exactly....and the same goes for showering and brushing your teeth (if you've got any).

 

That's just plain weird ,A jeep motor I've onlly worked on one myself with a bad cam .I wonder what performance you can get out of one.Goodluck

 

Whewww. You know this town just isn't big enough for two Hudsons.
And just by chance I've got some AMC stuff laying around too.I need to
check this out before its gone.

 

amc did cast the cid on the sides of the block behind the motor mounts. all modern? (67 and up)v-8's were externally the same. external balanced in 70 they went to dog leg exhaust port in the heads and 1/2" head bolts.

Yea, I went out there with a flashlight and mirror. It says 304 on the block. I guess I'll drag it out to the Webster swap meet this Sunday.

 

I seem to remember the distributor cap packages that were marked for application would read 58-74 most any GM or AMC V8, so that might help narrow down the year.

the egr valve, the fact that it's a 304, and the distributor make it look like it's from 72-74?

 

Here's the '54 Super Wasp. It's raining and cold out there, so this is as good as the pics get today, I took these through the window.




Also have this '51 Hornet with the 262 flatty 6-
