[wmichelli]

Ok Guys. Time to take measures. Decided to rebuild my AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l engine from stock. The question is simple: Any advices about wich parts can i replace better than stock or take advantage to do things that could be impossible after engine back in site.Example: Energy poly engine mounts? Thanks. Is one in a life time chance to see empty engine space.
Thanks in advance.

When I find a spare AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l to build, I am going to build it to VAM specs. 200hp and 280ft lbs. And still be a reliable driver.

Do an RV cam and bearings. Drill and tap the head bolt holes to 1/2 inch, if not already.This gets you ready for the 4.0 head.

Priceg: what RPM is this 200 hp,280 ft/lb' happening?
