Slap a turbocharger on the 2.5L and it can be set to outperform the 6-banger and eventually be able to run even taller gears

You might remember cam profiling can also do miracles for the torque band

AMC wiring was awesome! I remember as a kid, our CJ-7 caught fire on the way home from Christmas. And it wasn't more than a few years old!
That's why I'm quite over-concerned with anything regarding wiring. A random broken wire in a hard-to-detect spot can lead to a short-circuit, and then, you know...
