A: The engine was sold to Mitsubishi/Hyundai and they fixed the probs with 
it. Motor came back in the Hyundai Sonata and another redesign made it into 
the Dodge Caravan 3.0L engines.

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.
