AMC V8s of each "generation" used the same basic block, though the 390 and 401 had forged crank and rods, possibly some additional webbing to strengthen the block. The smaller V8s made do with cast parts. If this had been a 360 with stock parts the damage would probably have been much worse! (Due to the scarcity of the larger motors a lot of AMCers will build up the 360, which is relatively common due to its use in Jeeps through the early 1990s.)
