AMCC began producing engines of their own design in 1938, previously their cars all used various flathead four cylinder engines from Ford. In the interest of streamlining the production and design costs each engine family was capable of being expanded by adding cylinders. Originally only Inline four and Inline sixes were produced, V-block engines were introduced in 1952.

Starting off will be the Concord Series, the main workhorse engine of AMCC between 1984 and 2008. It was introduced in 1971 to supplement the Javelin Series introduced in 1949. The engine block was shared with the Javelin engines, but the Concord made use of highly advanced SOHC aluminum cylinder heads. It was built in V6, V8 and V12 form. Initially only intended for upmarket applications, it quickly superseded the Javelin Series once stricter emission regulations meant the OHV Javelin was increasingly uncompetitive. By 1984 It had become the most widely used engine platform of AMCC. In the late 1990s, the V12 version which at this point was only installed in trucks was discontinued and the Concord series itself was being slowly phased out in favor of the more modern and efficient Quadtech series. The last Concord Series engine, a 5.0 High Output V8 was built on November 12th, 2008. Power outputs varied wildly, reflecting the constantly changing climate in the Automotive Industry, from up to 460hp in the 1971 CTH High Output V12 to just 130hp in the 1976 CSC V6 with an early catalytic converter.

In the interest of simplicity I only show images of the most modern versions of them. I’ll also include LUA files if anybody is interested in using them for custom applications.

good solid engines but they look the same
good luck

Those engines are long-lived, torquey single overhead cam designs. Why did you opt for such a valvetrain?

And what engine families will you build next?

“Lists great characteristics of the engine”

“Why do you use X?”

GEE I WONDER WHY

As you may be able to see the engine family was launched in 1971. Back in that era a 2 Valve SOHC aluminum head was pretty sophisticated stuff, especially by the norms of the north american Continent.
