Sorry Storm -seems to be some confusion happening here; not sure how you quoted what I did not post (that's weird)

One man here on AMC Forum, shows his AMC Rebel in member's projects section, knows about  Norway/Sweden AMC club.

But the message was instantly mistranslated into 'I have 304 heads on a 360'.



I hava a 360 block with a 360 head and a 304 head.

Got a amc club in norway and a club in Sweden

The chart I referenced indicates you have two 304 heads, different casting #s, but 304 heads.
What does your engine CID say on the side of the block by the motor mount? 
74 Hornet Hatchback X twins (since 1977)
62 American Convertible (still worth the $50 I spent in 1973!) AMCRC #513, AMO #384
70 AMX 360 4-speed (since 1981)

#3233344 looks to be a 360 head (79-84)
#3216086 looks to be a 304 head (74)

Well like you said it ran fine...sucks two different heads..if you never would of looked, you would still be driving it.. if parts are hard to get where you live put it back togeather and run it..if you not racing you will never know the differance.
I not a amc head expert, but maybe you can take both heads to good shop get same size valves installed and have them ported to match and go on with life?

Depends on your Time, we have Freightforwarders that collect stuff somethere in the US, and ships the collected sendings off to Europe in a Container. Took some Time, but works like a charme.

And Engine from Houston to Germany is 500$, but this includes the whole Tax&Customs Paperwork(unfortually not the Tax and Customs)
