What's the point of swapping in a 4200? Might as well swap in an LS.
I don't care that it's an inline engine. That's not the point. As I said above I had a 3.2L inline pushing 300 hp/tq and I'd never think of putting it into a classic car. That misses the point of having a classic completely.
How about an S54 BMW engine? 350hp/ft-lbs out of a 3.2L. Why not slap that in? Because it's not a classic engine.
I sort of see it that way also.
I took on the inline 250 6 just to see if the under dog six can keep up if not beat a lot of V-8's.
I think guys in general want to have something different & run an inline 6 instead of the "Norm" V-8 engine.
But if you are wanting to run as fast & as practical (money wise) an Atlas 4.2 is not the way to go.
An LS series engine is what makes sense.
Sure ,some are doing an 4.2 engine to be able to run a certain class of racing, but I think others just want something different.
