 ====Bellhousing bolt pattern====
 The AMC Gen 1 V-8 has a unique bellhousing pattern.
-The AMC Gen 2 290 cid V-8 appeared in late 1966 in the American, and across the board as a 290 or 343 cid engine in 1967. The Gen 2 engines use a different bolt pattern than the Gen 1. Pre-1972 inline sixes use a smaller diameter bellhousing than the Gen 2/3 V8s) with a bolt pattern shared only with the small 1950-'54 Nash L-head sixes - this includes the 258 manufactured during the 1971 model year; a majority of the small diameter bellhousing sixes had the short deck until 1970 when the 232 was casted with the taller deck but using the connecting rods from the 199. All 1972 and later AMC inline sixes (including the 1987-06 Jeep 4.0L) and V-8s use the same Gen 2/3 V8 bellhousing bolt pattern.
