I have asked several ebay 3D sellers if they could make AMC engines, but they have no interest in it. Fortunately, SCB can be converted to AMC V8 engine with suitable parts. What would be more refreshing than a Camaro with AMC 304 :D

The Bobby Allison Matador Racer in the Coke markings is now the easiest way to find an AMC V8. They come up fairly often, and few folks want them.

Actually, the easiest source would be one if the recent Round 2 AMT Gremlin reissues.  They've done 76, 75, and 74 versions, including a run for Ollies.  All include the same mechanicals.

Engine includes 2-barrel, 4-barrel, and 2x4 intakes.  Stock exhaust manifolds or headers.  I'm no expert on AMC's, so I can't speak for accuracy or detail.

Knowing how AMT was functioning in the mid-70s, I'd be surprised if the Matador engine was any more detailed.  I have a Matador stocker buried in the stash, but I'll admit I haven't dug it out to compare to the Gremlins' engines.
