Well I saw this and might as well ask you some question that you may know or
have already asked. My understanding is that the 1988 259 I-6 only had 1112
HP with the carb. I also understans that the 1991 - 4.0L has 180 HP with FI,
so the question is can one take the cam and heads off of a 4.0 and put them
in and on a 1988 - 258 ( 4.2L ) I-6 and get that 180 HP too. I only wish I
would have know this before I rebuilt my 258 I-6. Now we are new but still
weak.

Please advise.

Thanks
