peugeot and renault.  it was known as the 'prv' engine.  trivia: it's
a 90* v6 because it was originally designed in the late '60s as a v8,
but as production approached the first gas crisis hit and a quick
modification ensued.  afaik the original v8 version was never made.

as i said in another posting, i've heard that prv sold the engine to
hyundai and that korean quality is higher.

" I would imagine that there is absolutely no capability of installing a
" 4.0 in the thing as it is a front wheel drive automobile so room even
" with the fact that it is a North South installation space is certainly
" going to be a premium. 

i'd agree.  this car has little in common with other amcs, much more
with other renaults.  with enough money you can do anything, but this
would be a substantial re-engineering of the drivetrain and probably
chassis.
