This rebuilt AMC V8 came out of a well-cared-for 1978 J10 pickup and is ready to bring new life to your Full Size Jeep project. The engine was professionally rebuilt about 4–6 years ago with a stock-spec refresh and a mild RV/4×4 camshaft for better low-end torque—perfect for off-road, towing, or everyday driving.
Upgrades include an Edelbrock Performer 4-barrel aluminum intake and headers, giving you improved breathing and performance over the factory setup. Inside of the engine is virtually spotless. The motor has an estimated 5,000 miles since the rebuild and ran strong when pulled—smooth idle, plenty of power, and no issues. The only reason it was removed was because the owner decided to step up to a 500+ horsepower 401 build for his J10.
This is a rare opportunity to get a ready-to-run AMC V8 with proven reliability, ideal for replacing a tired motor or upgrading your FSJ.
