Re: AMC Jeep 2.5 FI in Spirit?

A: I would do it, but make sure you have a decently low gear ratio. With 
4.10s it would run quite nicely. My '86 Comanche with nearly 300,000 miles 
on it still runs like a top (but has some blowby issues now) I ran 4.10s 
with 30" tires and it was still pretty zippy. We had 6,000lbs gross weight 
when we went to Ouray, CO (myself, 2 grown sons, 5 gallon bottle of water, 3 
spare tires and the truck with the rest of the weight being spare parts I 
dragged out in case I broke anything 4 wheeling and swap meet stuff)

So, another crazy combination has popped to mind since
the gas bounced the $3's.

I have an 80 AMX that is currently dormant.  I just
stumbled across a wrecked 2WD Chero with 2.5 and 5 spd
(AMC not iron puke).  OUtside of a Renault, I am hard
pressed to think of a better potential all AMC mileage
combo.  I know it won't be a rocket ship, however,
there are all kinds of aftermarket perf setups for the
2.5 because of Jeeps.

Any ideas?

Thanks,


Jesse
