Re: [BaadAssGremlins] getting crap for swapping to V8

["William Renshaw" <lionwren@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mexican 282 six cylinder.???!! W.T.F.?? Is it just a stroked 258? What head 
does it use? I know you can swap the 4.0 head to the 258 block and add all 
the goodies to the 4.0 head like fuel injection and all the stuff. But, I 
have never heard of the Mexican 282 6. Is a V-6 or an inline? Could some one 
here explain it? If I was a betting kind of guy, it sounds like a bored and 
stroked 258. Am I right on this???
