I can usually find this sort of stuff pretty quickly, but this one has had me looking for over a half hour and haven't found it yet. Here's the best I can do so far......

"AMC started development on a new V8 shortly after the first was in full production. The new engine, introduced in mid 1966, shared some features of modern small blocks and others more common with big block of the era. It had wide bore centers comparable to a big block. This made the block a little longer but provided plenty of room for future growth and increased stability. For this reason some publications call it a "mid block"."

"The VIN may say it came with a 401 but that doesn't mean it's still in there. The valve cover tag may say it's a 401 but that just proves the covers came off a 401. Look for the "401" cast into the block behind the motror mounts."
