The satellite has an expected lifetime of 15 years.
The AMC 327 was similar to the 287, but displaced 327 in³ (5.4 L) due to the bore increase to 4.0".
It is believed that AMC kept the 390 this last year due to the reputation it had garnered in the two seater AMX, which was discontinued after 1970.
The AMC 360 in³ (5.9 L) 360 produced 235 to 245 hp (175 to 183 kW) in 1970 to early 71, 175 to 220 hp from mid 71-75, 140-180 hp in 1976, 129 hp in 1977, and 140 hp from 1978-91.
AMC is generally thought of as the brand used for all American Motors passenger cars following the demise of Rambler, but the names "American Motors" and "AMC" seem to have been used interchangeably in corporate literature and on the cars themselves well into the 1980s.
AMC's Toledo, Ohio plants continue to turn out Jeep Wranglers and Libertys as well as parts and components for Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles (although Toledo Machining and Forge is slated for closure as of 2005).
AMC's technologically advanced Bramalea Assembly and Stamping Plants in Ontario (recently completed at the the time of the Chrysler takeover) are still active, and now produce the best-selling LX-cars - the Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum, and the Chrysler 300.
