Guys, guys, guys.  You are looking at the wrong inline-6 engines here.

Speaking from the experiance of driving a Jeep with the 4.2 for 90k miles,
and an old BMW with a 3.5l for 12k miles, you don't want to go with the
iron cast behemoth from AMC lineage.

Clearly the swap to do is a BMW M30.  Put a pair of turbos on it and you
can have 400+ horses.

As long as you are going to swap engines to something non GM, might as well
make it interesting.
