69' amx - Page 2

Ozzie,
It must be an error in the AMX weight listing.
The 68' and 69' 390/315HP weighed in almost exactly.
In 68', the car would be classed in E/Stock, and in 69' the car would be classed in F/Stock, and/or SS/J.
As for the 290/225HP engine. One listing has the Javelin SST
with a weight of #2836, which equates to K/S (12.50-12.99 wt/hp) in 1969, like I said.
There are some refrences, that show the 290 (N-code) engine with a
235HP rating, in the AMX, but 225HP in the Javelin.
Not sure if there were any differences, maybe in the exhaust system?
In any event, the old listing shows the 68' AMX 290 engine with a
weight of #3046 lbs. If they factored it by 235HP, it would also be classed in K/S in 1969.
