258

[Old Dog]

Hey guys, I've been sitting here wondering why most people now days call the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l . But yet thoes say people usually say AMC 304 , 360, or 401 and not 5.0, 5.9, or 6.6 or what ever a 401 would be. Just seems odd to me.
Heck I still say I've got a 350 not a 5.7. Am I just getting old or what.

Not old at all.. I don't call my 302 in my Mountaineer a 5.0 or mu AMC 304 a 5.0...

I'm old also.

Just another way that the metric system confuses me.
Tires are another one. Just confounds me.
Two fitty ate sounds better.

35s make sense 33s make sense. Metric tire sizes drive me crazy.

Dam that made laugh. :rock:

X's 100 on that. Just tell me what size it is, don't make me get a calculator to figure it out.

blame it on the parts house. I don't think AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l even shows up on the computer.
it seems that a lot of conversations are about the comparisons and conversions with the 4.0 and I don't, off hand, even know how many CID a 4.0 is.

That would be a 242 for the I6 found in the TJ.

 

[BrockGrimes]

en people ask what size tires I have I say 33's
the sidewall however says 285/75/16.

I also use AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l , 350, 302, except in my GMC it's a 4.8
use that as 293 confuses the idiots.

 

[dslywalker]
