I wouldn't want to attempt to FI a 258 CID AMC inline 6. Although it was a servicable engine, I spun a bearing diring a WOT 1-2 shift (auto tranny). I rebuilt the engine. There's nothing special there. It's just an ancient design.

I'd swap in a 7M-GTE Supra engine. Silky smooth, gobs more power, 100 less cubic inches. Then again, I know how to do it. That would be a car!

ancient design, yes. Dates back to Nash/Rambler in the 50's. BUT- still in use today in Jeep Wranglers & Grand Cherokees. WOT 1-2 shift, eh? Woulda loved to have been there.
