Default The 4.0

Im sure most of the folks here think that the 4.0 is a very nice engine. I saw a Pacifica the other day at the Wal- Mart that had a 4.0 badge on the back. Also a guy told me that they were put into vans. So were there any other vehicles that the 4.0 was put into. And for some reason, I want to think they are still being made in Europe. Well not the exact same thing, just a remake.

There are hundreds, probably thousands in use around the world running generators. It was based off of the AMC 4.2 6 cyl engine.

From '56 to '91 AMC(Hudson/Nash/Rambler) made V8s in 250, 290, 304, 327, 343, 360, 390, and a 401 cu.in.. And you're right no 350.

Jeez, I thought for sure the 4.0 would be found in other vehicles besides Jeeps.

Nope it is a "jeep" engine.

WE could blame the recent auto industry issues on reasons like this. Built a great engine but ONLY put it ina specific brand. Dakota''s and some 1/2ton rams should of had it aswell.

The Mustang had 200 and a 250ci way back when. The Ford trucks used to use a 4.9L I6 as well.
