What kind of engine does an AMC Engine have?

AMC car models contains two kind of engines.One is  Four-cylinder engines and the another is six-cylinder engines.

Four-cylinder engines

Air-cooled 108

The AMC 107 cubit (1.8 L) is an aviation V4 engine that was built from January 1960 to January 1963 as an aviation Jeep (by helicopters of the time) the USA used in a lightweight aluminum-bodied M422 'Mighty Mite' vehicle.

Navy Body. Due to its relatively small displacement and power output, this motor was not ideal for regular use in passenger cars. 

Audi/VW 121

The 121 cubit (2.0 L) was a sophisticated design of EA831 four cylinders camshaft motor purchased from 1977 to 1979. The Audi 100, Volkswagen LT, and Porsche 924 with this engine as well. The specifications vary from the assembled engine Audi / VW / Porsche. In addition to the light larger clearances, AMC was able to use a carburetor and standard point ignition.

The original agreement was for AMC to purchase the design, move production in the US and then sell the motors back to VW and Audi. American Motors specifically purchased a plant to build the engine but never sold enough to move complete production. In the United States, the AMC motors have been assembled from major VW mountings, thus providing the various assembly clearances. AMC was not to use the name of VW or Audi with the engine as part of the agreement. The previous model manufactured 95 hp (71 kW) 15 to 30 hp (11 to 102 kW) higher than the AMC version.

Renault 126 turbo diesel

The 126 cubic meters turbo diesel from Renault was a standby engine used between 1984 and 1986 in AMC's Jeep line. It was fitted to a 4-speed standard or optional five-speed manual and delivered an outstanding fuel economy with either the transmission. The diesel supply was respectable at 85 hp (63 kW) at 3,750 rpm for this size and 132 lb-ft (179 N alternating meter) at 2,750 rpm. 

Also known for its relatively instant pedal response, it had a considerable delay in both diesel and turmoil-carrying engines. It also featured first-class technology such as an intercooler and overhead cam with a weight of only 331 pounds (150 kg). It first marked a turbo-loaded diesel in a sports utility vehicle in the United States when it reached the market.

AMC 150

AMC launched its four-cylinder engine design in 1984. All previous fours were purchased for provisional use (except the Air-Cooled 108). The AMC four was used for vehicles Jeep and Eagle only since all other cars of the AMC came to a halt in 1983.

Six-Cylinder Engines

Nash and Hudson beginnings

To create the new Hudson Hornet & Wasp, the ambassador and statesman have received a hasty restyling grille, taillight/trim/gash. In (4.1 L) OHV six for the years of 1955 and 1956, Nash ambassador Six held Nash 252,6 cu, and V8 only in 1957. The Nash OHV six was of a different design from that of the Rambler 195.6, dating from 1934. Six-cylinder Hudson's cars retained the L-head 6, 308 cubits in Hornet (5.0 liters), and 202 cubits in Wasp (3.3 liters). Either Hudson or Nash banned all Rambler models that used the 195.6 cu Rambler in (3.2 L) OHV 6. 

Kaiser 230

The Tornado 230 was not designed or used by American Motors in a domestic AMC-branded vehicle. The AMC / Jeep 232 cu in (3.8 L), which was purchased by Kaiser-Jeep to replace the SOHC Kaiser 230 cu in (3.8 L), is often confused with the US. During the 1960s and early 1970, the American army M-715 and derivatives used it. 

Buick 225

In the 1966 CJ and the option of the C101 Jeepster Commando, Kaiser introduced the "Dauntless" 225 cu in (3.7 l) V6 engine. For a short time before Kaiser sold its Jeep subsidiary to AMC, Kaiser bought the tool from Buich to build the 225. The tooling was returned to General Motors in 1974 by American Motors.The engine was a strange V6 fire so that the TDC was not evenly separated around the motor but grouped in pairs. It would rush slowly, but not as smoothly as other motors, particularly inline-six.

The Modern Era I-6

For 1964, American Motors developed a new six-cylinder engine, introducing the 232 as the Typhoon in the new Classic Hardtop. In 1965, AMC launched Rambler American in the more economical 199. American Motors and Chrysler continued to manufacture the basic design until 2006 (Chrysler bought AMC in late 1987). 

The bell pattern of the early engines varied between AMC V8s. The 199 was 232 inches cubic and the 232 was 258 inches. These two RB motors shared the small size of their previous engine only for the model year of 1971. In 1972, in conjunction with AMC switches from Borg-Warner to Chrysler automatic transmissions, both the 232 and the 258 bell patterns were changed to suit AMC V8s.

V8 Engines

Before introducing its in-house designed V8, American Motors bought V8 engines from Packard. In 1955 and 1956, Nash Ambassadors and Hudson Hornets were the sole users of these Packard engines. The Packard V8 powered automatically transmitted all AMCs came with Packard's Ultramatic.The Special was the slightly smaller and lighter Wasp two-door Ambassador / Hornet trim hardtop cartridge. In favor of the AMC-developed and built V8s, the Packard engines dropped after 1956.The AMC's first V8 engine design and Rambler V8 was introduced as an official department of the United States of America Motors Corporation, making it a transition from Nash and Hudson to Rambler, which marked Rambler products.

The Rambler V8 weighs just 26 lbs at 601 lbs, as declared by AMC. Chevrolet generic weight, but typically the range of its target weighed much more, for example, the Studebaker 289V8, the biggest of which weighed about 675 lbs.At the Rambler Rebel, AMC introduced the new '57 327 cu in (5.4 L) CID, which gave it an excellent power to weight ratio.
