I put a new AMC head on a project a few years back. Same as the one you showed except I used the complete version, which included cam, lifters, valves, etc.
It worked well and quality seemed great. I sent it to a rebuilder to take apart and check before putting on and it all was good. I would use one again. The original heads are not much to brag about anyway.

 ... it's a old stock that was on display at a shop in Europe. I don't think AMC produce this cylinder head anymore... they seem very good quality. I will get new valves, stem seal and buckets (lifters). I pulled the crankshaft out of the block and got the parts ready to be cleaned in a washing machine. Next step, the machinist will measure the bore, and then I'll order the right oversize piston set. The main bearings seem good to re-use.. There was 2 broken oil squirter for the pistons

________________________ Few more progress, this time on the car. Stripped the interior to see the floors condition. A bit of work needed on the driver floor pan, but overall is clean and solid. There is rust under rear passenger door trim, but a friend gave me another door to replace it. Otherwise, I want to make this wagon my 'first' little camper and do road trips across the America. I will make a homemade interior and customize it over time. At the same time, I would also like to replace the heater core but it seems a pain to do. Anyone know a good tutorial or have tips for me before I remove everything? lol

Don't forget the long 1/4" drive socket extensions for getting at those hidden screws on the top of the heater core box, LOL. Might as well redo the flapper doors adhesive foam weatherstripping insulations while you are in there, LOL Beware of "project creep." LOL
