The crankshaft stroke and main journal size changed among the years with the more popular 389CI and 400CI having a 3.00" diameter main journal and the 421/428/455 sharing a larger 3.25" diameter main journal.

The AMC 327 V8 debuted in the 1957 Rambler Rebel, an early "muscle car" Engine bay of a 1963 AMC Ambassador with a 327 V8 four-barrel. The AMC 327 is similar to the 287, but displaces 327 cu in (5.4 L) due to the bore increase to 4 inches (101.6 mm). Unlike the 250, most 327s were produced with hydraulic valve lifters.
