{"product_id":"amc-v8-chrome-steel-valve-covers","title":"AMC V8 Chrome Steel Valve Covers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese valve covers are built for the AMC V8 engine family across its full production run — 4.8L\/290, 5.6L\/343, and 6.4L\/390 (1966–1969 Gen-2 blocks), plus 5.0L\/304, 5.9L\/360, and 6.6L\/401 (1970–1991 Gen-3 blocks). Common applications include the AMC AMX, Javelin, Rebel, Matador, Hornet, and Ambassador, along with Jeep CJ, J-Series trucks, Wagoneer\/Grand Wagoneer SJ, and full-size Cherokee (not the later XJ Cherokee, which never used the AMC V8).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction is chrome-plated steel with a 3 1\/8 in. height and a plain top style, using a perimeter-bolt mounting pattern. The chrome finish gives a clean, classic appearance suited to restorations and period-correct engine bays as well as AMC\/Jeep V8 swaps into other chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGen-2 (290\/343\/390) and Gen-3 (304\/360\/401) AMC V8s share the same external block dimensions and valve cover bolt pattern, so these covers fit either family. Driveline components like flywheels and flexplates are not interchangeable across the two generations, but that has no bearing on valve cover fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese covers are sold as a pair without gaskets, grommets, or mounting hardware, so those should be sourced to match your specific engine and breather setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFits AMC V8 engines: 290, 343, 390 (1966–1969) and 304, 360, 401 (1970–1991).
