Re: 74 javelin engine
The 360 Magnum engine is a Chrysler "LA" block (originally designed in the mid-1960's). It is completely different from your AMC engine and will not fit your car, unless you make extensive custom engine mounts wiring driveshaft etc and use a Chrysler trans.
Your 360 is an AMC block originally designed by Nash in the mid-50's. (Nash and Hudson joined to form AMC in 1954). IMHO rebuild your 360, or look for an AMC 390 or 401 which will bolt right in.

Re: 74 javelin engine
Rebuild it. Put in some higher-compression pistons, a good cam, and a 4-barrel and intake and have some fun whuppin' up on about anything around, that's a strong motor once the compression is up and it's fed properly
