So we have the GM 4.2L 24V DOHC Inline 6 at 291HP, and 277lb/ft of torque, versus the AMC 4.0L 12V OHV Pushrod Inline 6 at 190HP and 230lb/ft of torque. On paper the Vortec 4200 demolishes the venerable 4.0L. But for some reason it hasn't gained much of a foothold. Anyone have thoughts on this?
FWIW, both are extremely smooth (inherent in I-6 configuration) and sound quite nice.
