I am not biased to any make or brand, nevertheless, the parts are catalog, over the counter items just like all other makes did at the time.
If you take a close look at the specs for many other makes, they also benefited of the same type of parts.

Is this some sort of prejudice on a car make that happens to be a minority in the classes?

How did the Chevy 283 got to use a 327 intake?
How do the Chevy 396/375 cam specs clear the piston dome without modification?
Ford engines using camshafts that were only available over the counter only?
C-4 bell housings that fit FE engines?
Mopar 273 with Edelbrock intakes; over the counter item?
Boss 351 with a Holley carb?
1967 Ford Fairlane 427/2x4 with an automatic?

The list can go on and on....

Are the other makes afraid of an AMC beating them in class?
