AMC Javelin 360 AMX V8 5.9 L Muscle car 400 HP +++

[CamaroAmx]

AMC also kicked ass on the dragstrip. Remember Drag-On-Lady?

I've got a 73 AMX, 304V8, 998 auto, olympic blue with blue interior. Had it for 11 years. Currently fixing it back up to better then it was when it was my daily driver (and gas $1 per gallon).

[BikerBry]

The car is not clean... the accessories, paint and especially the switches and gauges are tacky. Just my opinion.

[jcbspence]

@BikerBry so in your world everything must appear stock?

[BikerBry]

@jcbspence - No, but this is Tacky

[DarknightOTC]

One really loud fuel pump.

[21ricky666]

what does it idle at?

[uhfnutbar1]

fucking lie`er no way its 400 maybe 300 + at the wheels

[jcbspence]

@uhfnutbar1 i dont know dude ours is a 69 javelin with a naturally aspirated 360 that has work done to it its about 465hp at the wheels.

[spf150]

Sounds like a Holley fuel pump! Where did you get that upper radiator hose?

[sunnydan11]

Sorry thats a 304 with an oiling problem I have had AMC'S all my life and know when the are running like shit.

[CamaroAmx]

@sunnydan11 the oiling problem is an easy fix too.

[frMartin013]

LA VOITURE EST EN FRANCE??????

[aiboneo]

@frMartin013

oui elle est sur le sol français.

[chevygearhead454]

It realy is too bad AMC got bought out I bet having the name AMERICAN Motor company those things would sell today since everyone in america wants to buy american made things

[citydriver]

thats one  NOICEY pump dude beautiful car your lucky to have it

[funkeytoad08]

I love it! The heck with keeping it original, I like what you have done. I once owned a 73 trans-am winner edition. It was stock with a 304 3 speed, but we put a 360 in out of a 71 javelin. Fastest car I ever owned. That car was feared around here back in the day.....

[rafaelmc76]

love love the keychain, where did you get it?

[PSPHaCkErAOD]

man, that car would of been so much cooler, if left original. i miss my 390 sst

[blackheart55]

nice car

[AngelusofDeus]

to bad its an automatic :(

[javelin1010]

I have a '71 Jav SST with a 304, Holley 600, MDS ignition, mild cam, Black interior with a plum crazy purple exterior, ET and Superior mags from the 70's, rear spoiler etc. 6 yrs in the rebuild. I'm working on a '74 Jav AMX with a 360. I owned a Gremlin with a 304 back in the day. I'm glad that I get to go to cruise nights in the Jav.

[666farqtwo]

I thought my Holley blue pump was loud till I heard yours.

1/4 mile?

[TheAMXFAN]

AMC AMX Raced TRANS~AM and Kicked Ass! The 70 and 71 teams ruled.

[CamaroAmx]

@TheAMXFAN AMC won the trans am title 3 times. factory backed teams in 71 and 72 and indepent in 75. AMC got second place in 70 behind the boss 302 mustang.

[okrabay]

did AMC ever run in Nascar?

Love those old javelins

[fnm9908]

they did,but not in javelins,they run the matador cars,between 1973-75

[bohemianracer]

Yes AMC did run in Nascar. Mark Donohue won in a Matador in Riverside (road course) in Jan 73.

Also Bobby Allison won I believe in Charlotte in either 74 or 75.

[sanpazcualito]

esta chido aunk los escapes dejan mucho k desear

[rascalcat61]

love it---I miss mine soooo bad I had a '73 blue---was my pride and joy wish I still had it

[Mesteban781]

wat happened to it?

[WastinYourTime]

just saw one sitting in a car lot and the guy wouldnt sell it.....

[limpioo]

i have a japanese pony car....a mitsubishi galant sigma 1977

[heribertojosecortesr]

carrazo muscle power, esta em mexíco, un club de javelin? por favor de mendqar la dirección o correo electronico quien tenga la información gracias.

[tpvalley]

sounds like the compression is so high that the starter struggles!

[jrkoff]

ignition timing high

[tpvalley]

u mean advanced?

dont they have an advance mechanism in the distributor?

why run really advanced at low rpm when u can just modify advance curve and have the correct advance at higher rpm or do these engines run best with much advance at low rpm?

what about detonation?

[jrkoff]

depending on your cam timing, some engines need 18-24 degrees of ignition advance to idle properly. Some people will simply lock out the timing because engine load is fairly low with high stall torque converters. for example your full advance should be in at 3500rpm, well if you have a 4000 stall torque converter why not lock out your advance to be in all the way. this does not work too well on street driven vehicles as they will start bucking like crazy at low rpm part throttle.

[racecardriver467]

holly shit that pump is noisy...

[dkpunks]

Beautiful car. Mines a 74 javelin with a 360. Not to fond of your exhaust tips though :P all that beautiful car then rusty pipes? seems like a bit of a waste

[majajh]

My grandpa had an Ambassador- terrible car! I had an AMC Jeep, and it was horrible too. You did well with this car though.

[naderchaser]

I've got a 70 Jav SST, which I think was / is a Donohue. The spoiler in back was stolen prior to my buying it...but for sure....it's a SST. With 360, ram air / beautiful, functional hood scoop, front discs, Hurst 4sp from factory. Remember, those crappy Autolite carbs were what held back most AMC perf. engines from attaining similar power ratings as comparable motors of the size and era. Plus, AMC has some fantastic, big-ass ports in their heads.

[ironreign44]

Love the custom dash with the toggles. Very race inspired. That thing sounds good bro!!!!

[ironreign44]

AMC. . . Kindof a "runt" in the muscle car family. But definatlly a "unique" brand. I had a 73 Ambassador wagon that was ROTTED out but saved the 401/ TH400. If any of you AMC gearheads want a cool web site to visit and chat and learn from eachother, visit "BOXWRENCH,COM". They have a lot of info and chat on all V8s. However, they need help with the AMC stuff. In paticular the tourque specs and spacifics on tear downs and build ups. ANY info will be great. Alot of cool guys and good tips!

[GuruDillion]

THANK YOU!

for keeping the original shifter

[BGBAD73]

Now,Lets iron out some misconceptions, this appears to be 71(bar tailights with no dividers) AMX(turned interior trim). The factory AMC 360 4V put out a sprightly 285HP gross from the factory. All electric fuel pumps are noisy. and unless you have a mechanical roller cam never push a 360 above 6500...even then spinning cast parts that fast is not a good idea. only the the 390 and 401 received the forged lower ends in the late 60s and 70s.

[ytfan81]

Pure American muscle. Hard to believe that's the same motor thats in my Jeep.

[ArmorAsylum13]

Is that super annoying sound your fuel pump? I think you need some rubber washers for your electric fuel pump, it's noisy.

[timgebhart]

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT .wANT TO SALE IT?

[wondeboy12]

So 400hp has a sound now does it?

[kolbpilot]

My favorite Javelin, the '70 Donahue series. Nice ride, partner.

[doctornoise]

that's not a 70, it's either a 71 or 72 being a humpster with those particular tail lights. Judging by the end of the video I'd say it's a 71 to be excact. And it's of course a beauty! :)

[kolbpilot]

I should of been clearer w/my comment. Yes, it's a '71 and a fine representation of the mark. My personal favorite Javelin is the '70,

[doctornoise]

oooooh, haha my bad. :)

[honkinhemi223]

there was some dumbass who seen my freinds javelin and said it looked alot like a 1999 camaro...what a dumbass!!!!!!!!!!

[HmF330ex]

we have a 73 401 and allot of people say that....

[OCSkylineGTR]

Nice Javelin! We have a 72 sst with a 69 390 :D

[VodeoJMC63]

I love the sound of that engine! sounds like the opening drum riff in the van halen song "hot for teacher!"

[AMXBOY73]

nice car sounds good2

[richiemax1]

Impossible, doesn´t exist Javelin´s v8!!!!  american never made it!

[AMCJeep1]

I guess my Factory Javelin SST was never made either?

[wondeboy12]

Lmao

Is that a facT?

[musclecarpower]

looks fast and sounds fast

[ZekeSagamoto]

But IS it fast? lol

[digiprez77]

Sounds pretty gnarly to me...

[HOTROD74GremlinX]

nice Jav,but sounds a hair too tame for 400 HP

[rossramwrestler]

The stock engine put out 325-340 HP  so 400 is not a huge jump

[ifabbott]

There were so many different applications for this motor, but none as much as 325 HP

[aiboneo]

it's a AMC 360

[ifabbott]

Sweet motor, I see that you have done a lot of work or her. Can I ask what cam you are running?

[EagleKammback]

AMC 360? or the MOPAR?

[rossramwrestler]

AMC duhhh
