The basic shape for the AMX was created first. next came prototypes that had the basic Javelin shape and the familiar front end derived from the AMX Vignale prototype. The AMX was supposed to be fibre-glass which was deemed too costly. CEO Robert Evans decided that the AMX was needed and the engineers built it using the Rambler American platform, same as the Javelin. It should also be noted that the chassis of the AMX is different from Javelins: Not only are there torque link radius arms, but the shock absorber mounts are brackets that mount to thick plates welded to the body. It is just as inaccurate to say the javelin is a stretched AMX....As for the 343 engine, Ike Knupp's TEAM AMX car was dominant in SCCA class B racing using the 343; albeit with Group 19 parts such as forged crank & rods. Even without those parts, the 343 is a very over-square motor with good potential. The first day i had my AMX, two guys in a Vega wagon with Centerline wheels & big exhaust saw the 390 tags and went lizard-head at the stop light. I put the Shift Command in first and punched it when the light turned. I was across the street & past the bus-stop before the Vega even crossed the four lanes. Then i learned that my car, originally a 390, had a 343 with 2.87 gears!
