Re: [AMC-List] Eagle Premier

The 4.0L is significantly longer (by about 10") than the 2.5L. Dad used to own a Premier -- the 2.5L would be tight under that hood! The V-6 is a cylinder (about 5") shorter than the 2.5L four. 

Look under the hood of an 83-92 Audi 5000, in the later years (90s?) called the 100 and 200. These use an offset radiator due to the length of five cylinder engine. I don't think even that arrangement would work for a 4.0L Premier though.

Are you guys sure? The AMC 2.5 seemed to fit in there just fine. Would it be
really all that much trouble, since the Cherokee, Comanche, and Wrangler
took both?

Again, I have no idea, so it's a legitimate question. I understand that the
4.0 is longer than the 2.5 (and most likely, significantly longer than a
90-degree V6).

But again, this is just a pipe dream, anyway. As much as I love AMCs (and
believe me, I do), I find myself almost as interested in the cars it built
and sold for the company that cannibalized them. If I could find a Medallion
in good shape, I'd take it over the Premier.
