Intake Manifold upgrade for the AMC 6 early - & More Headers

["Brien Tourville" <hh7x@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the stock 72 intake
won't work for some reason, you can get a stock 80-90 258 intake (84-
90 is Eagle or Jeep YJ).  

The Jeep headers will usually hang down way to far even if they fit.
You could try one for a 4.0L, but engine mounts or steering may get 
in
the way. 


=================================

Get the '81 and up Intake manifold.
AMC spent huge amounts of cash getting
it to flow properly - and is all alloy - and
is water heated / cooled.

The Moab Jeep race engine builders use this
in preference above the Clifford  -  which they
don't use.   

They add a 4bbl carb adapter - and smooth it in.

The JEEP Wrangler header usually hangs down
too far - but the Cherokee doesn't.

The Cherokee 4.0 header is the last bright hope
for the AMC 6 Headers upgrade - need to find
out definitively if it is only the '88 - '90  units
or if the '91 - '99 HO units will work as well.

I believe the downward depth is OK - it is that
with the '91 & up Manifold - the pipes gather
more toward the center of the engine rather than
at the rearward - as the '88-'90 do.
