The AMX/3 is powered by AMC V8 engines mounted longitudinally in mid-engine position between the seats and the rear axle. [67] The engine block is of gray cast iron. The forged crankshaft has five bearings. The engine has a central camshaft. The engine is short-stroke (bore × stroke: 105.79 × 90.77 mm); the displacement is
This 108 cu in (1,767 cc; 1.8 L) unit is an AMC designed air-cooled V4 engine that was only used in AMC's lightweight aluminium-bodied M422 'Mighty Mite' military vehicle, built from January 1960 to January 1963 as an air transportable (by the helicopters of the time) Jeep for the U.S. Marine Corps.

The AMC AMX is a two-seat GT-style muscle car produced by American Motors Corporation from 1968 through 1970. [2] [6] As one of just two American-built two-seaters, the AMX was in direct competition with the one-inch (2.5 cm) longer wheelbase Chevrolet Corvette, [7] for substantially less money.
[2] [3] [4] The initial design had a 3 + 1 ⁄ 8 inches (79.4 mm) bore and a 3 + 3 ⁄ 4 in (95.3 mm) stroke, for a displacement of 172.6 cu in (2.8 L; 2,828 cc). This bore was to be kept for all the variants of the engine, which were enlarged by increasing the stroke – an unusual practice given that changing forging is more expensive than ...

The small stroke change of 0.03 in (0.76 mm) was accomplished by moving the piston pin and changing the crankshaft stroke; the rod length did not change. The deck height of the AMC six-cylinder block was increased by 1 ⁄ 8 in (3.2 mm) (half the rod length difference) in 1971 to allow for the longer stroke required for the 258. There are only ...
While the AMX was marketed as a performance muscle car in the U.S. marketplace, the Australian AMXs came with a substantially higher level of standard features that were optional in the U.S. [11] The AMI AMXs were advertised as personal luxury cars. [11] One fully finished AMC Gremlin was imported from the U.S. in 1970 for evaluation purposes.
