true, but the 4l straight 6 petrol will never go wrong. it'll pull a house down. and it's smoother than kylie minog's bum.

That 6 cyl was a "proper" engine! They have their origins from back in the sixties. I still reckon the old "Castaway" jeep is pretty cool.

No. It was redesigned and continued on based on the old 199 cubic inch Typhoon Six introduced in 1964 (via the tall-deck 232), the AMC-engineered engine used a shallow-skirt cast-iron block with evenly spaced cylinder bores, loop-flow combustion chambers, in-line valves, and a seven-main-bearing crankshaft. So there
