Do these come with 4.1 L inline 6s? These were NOT good on gas, but reliable. I'd follow the others' advice, since I'm not a Jeep connoiseur.

Yes. Changing the displacement some, the 3300, as I recall, was definitely its "little brother." I remember it well, as it powered many Centurys and Cutlass Cieras. I don't remember the 3.0 as being around that long, but I didn't realize it had the same architecture as the 3.8/3800. Nor do I know if the 4.1 litre V6 by Buick of the early 80s was created from the 3800?

Does anyone know the longevity the old 231 cubic inch V6s - those of the 70s? I heard that the odd-firing versions were not timing-chain-friendly. Still, the other components ought to be unaffected (they were all supposedly non-interference engines). Maybe the even-firing ones did a little better? (I know that the 3.8 in the '84 Cutlass Supreme was still going strong at 171,000 miles when we sold it).

Last night, on a major north-south boulevard, a Pontiac G8 in an orange color. It looked fine at night. I don't know if I'd like that orange in the daytime. Nice exhaust note.

Crazy question: Do you listen to your engine with the window down?

Theoretically, isn't an in-line 6 supposed to be sturdier and quieter than a V-6 (at least, in the past)? The 4.0 Jeep L-6 is another one of those bullet-proof legacy engines, right? -
