Re: Hotting up the AMC I6's?

Make that USED TO BE very reputable dealer. The products that have been made a while are pretty good, but if you don't know for sure it will work don't order. People have reported problems with customer service, especially returns. If you buy it and it isn't right they will usually take it back -- provided you haven't attempted to install it. But if you installed it or attempted to install and it just doesn't fit right, expect problems returning. From the reports I've got you're likely to be stuck with it. The Jeep stuff is usually good, the car stuff may not fit without tweaking. 

An adapter for the 258/232 for the 4.0L head? Okay, just looked at it -- that's a head they have blueprinted and made the mod to mount on a 258. Run a search for Jeep 4.0L head and you'll find several sites that have the instructions for mounting a 4.0L head. Basically all you have to do is plug the triangular openings on the right side of the head. They are open to the water jacket to wash casting core material out. The 4.0L block is slightly wider (~1/4") than the 258 block. The openings are covered by the block on the 4.0L, but are close enough to the edge of a 258 block taht they will leak. Easiest way is to drill them out with a 3/4" bit on a drill press and press in freeze plugs.
