Re: 4.0 history
If you Google on this you'll find that it is widely believed by posters
that the 4.0L/242ci is simply an updated 258ci and that the 2.5L I4 was
simply a 258 with 2 cylinders lopped off.
But many sites that bothered to look things up claim that the 2.5L was
pretty much designed from the ground up and that the 4.0L is mostly
based upon the engineering for the 2.5L engine, although obviously some
258ci parts will fit (or, /mostly/ fit in the case of heads) on the 4.0L
block. See:
<URL:http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/engine/amc242.html>
The 258ci was, of course, simply a stroked 232 block (anyone want a free
232 engine? Come and get it). See:
<URL:http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/engine/amc258.html>
<URL:http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/engine/amc232.html>
Ah! This sounds like what I remember reading, but the link is down
right now. Google Cache has it at:
<URL:http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:W0M1PjKmYKMJ:wagoneers.com/XJ/tech/xjmtr.html>
Or Google the phrase _"closer relation was the fuel injected I-4"_
