The "Vigilante" 327 V8 has a cast nodular iron block and cylinder
head with overhead valves and hydraulic lifters, forged steel
crankshaft and connecting rods. This motor was engineered in '56 by
AMC, and is also known as the "Rambler V8". The AMC 327 was used in
Jeep full size trucks and Wagoneers from 1965 until 1968. AMC did not
standardize engine bell housing bolt patterns until the early 70s. The
AMC 327 V8 does not have the same bell housing bolt pattern used in
later AMC engines.
