Datsun 280z most likely. They had a inline 6 from the factory.

Lol, sorry, so use to abbreviating it. My old 1990 Z71 I use to have. Bored and stroked out to a 383. It's pretty much what I want my XJ to match up to, minus all the HP. I was pushing 600rwhp. I could burry it in sand to the rear axle, keep it in 2wd and creep out no problem without dropping tire pressure. It was beast off road, and that's about my expectations with the Jeep.

Understandable. Should have known to spell it out on a forum unrelated to Chevy. I would have thought a Nissan or Datsun as well. Lol
