On the AMC V8's the motor number is stamped on a tag that is rivited to the valve cover. I know, "they did what?". If the covers are gone, if the tag is gone, if the covers are not the originals? your screwed.
In large cast numbers over the drivers side motor mount will be the engine size but that is all.

Actually thats not quite correct....
There is a cast in number behind the left side head, above the bellhousing. As to where to decode it, here is one site...

Also, the displacement is cast into the block under each side's motor mount. My Jeep was bought with what I was told was a AMC 304 , but somehow after i bought it, it grew into a 360!

was there any doubt? The casting number came as a surprise to me. I think who ever thought up the tag was not the sharpest tool in the shed.
