The theory of AMC and some of their "guys" coming over after the buyout is something I didn't think of. The more I think about it, the more it makes since. I know AMC had a large influence with the 4.0 six. So if Chrysler was looking to lower costs, and the AMC guys was pitching the idea to them to drop the shaft mounts style, they figured they could appease the AMC group, and still get a cost savings...? I love R and D history, thanks for your ideas



I would say AMC did the whole 4.0 six and it was ready to go when the buyout happened.

I agree with the guys saying its a cost issue. The pedestal mouns are cheaper, and were a proven idea long before.
