Bad idea.
Once you get by th he whole felony thing...there's a special treatment for those people in prison.

Never seen it but I do have cable. Good luck.
 
I was hoping so...

If not, prank call, prank call.
 
If you want a I6 look up 2002 trail blazer they had them and they were built,2 over head cams fi,big torque.

The atlas I6 has it's own bell housing bolt pattern, so you will need an atlas specific 4l60E

And the Atlas engines sure aren't Big torque either. Typical late model high revving OHC engine with no low end. 292's are sweet inlines! One of the first engines I ever saw idle at 400 RPM's so smoothly you couldn't feel it running. Very long stoke on those beasts. They were even used in John Deere combines back in the day
 
Oh yeah, I wouldn't say the inline atlas is a tq monster. But the 06 and up versions made 275 feet of the torques and the 290 horses of the powers.
And you could maybe push those over 300 with some breathing help. Compared to the Jeep 4.0 that is a gold standard in Jeep's, makes 190...
@Larry is a big block guy.
And for big block guys like him. (And me) those are pretty small numbers.
Not really ground shaking numbers but maybe could be a fun engine to stick in a old Chevy luv? Or maybe a 47-55 truck?
73-77 Nova? Volvo pv444?

Yeah, I am more of a Big block guy but I’m also a huge fan of 6 in a row even though they may not have the BBC or diesel type grunt. Hell, I’d rather have an old 6 banger over a new “LS” engine just because they are something different and still have more off idle torque than a “LS”, especially the 292.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t driven many Atlas engines but never was impressed with any of them as I had old 250/292 low end grunt expectations out of them. I do like the idea of a modern multiport injected inline though. Chrysler is coming out with a new inline 6 for the RAM trucks in 2021/22. Anxious to see how it turns out.

I tell ya, one of the worst engine jobs I ever did was on Rob’s Trailblazer. My gawd! Nothing was easy on this sumbish! But, I will say Rob got his moneys worth out of it. He and his wife bought it new and had around 200k on it when it exploded. Dropped in a used engine and she is still going strong today.

It was knocking hard and spit out a rod on the shop floor just as it crested the entrance. BOOM! Knocka, knocka, knocka....screech! :haha:

This thing was a frustrating sumbish to swing an engine. Nothing is easy to get to even for a horse-jocky size guy like me.

I’ll come a clean on a secret….. I’m getting ready to start a project using this 292. It will probably end up with a 2 barrel Holley Sniper, headers and an Offy Intake backed by a 465/205 or maybe even a NV4500 if one pops up for the right price. The engine will be totally redone Larry style before it goes in. This one is a 1968 292. The looong stroke if a 292 is just too cool. Look at those side plates. 6" tall. 235, 250's etc had 4" tall side covers with a much shorter stroke

Ahhhhhh, nope!

I did learn last night surfing a GM inline group I belong to that GM Brazil had a multiport injected 250 from 1995-1998. How cool would that be!!!

Here is one in a Brazilian GMT400 Tahoe with a ZF 5 speed. That would be so cool to have. I would love to have the top end of one of these for my 292. Wish I could speak Portuguese to find one on their version of eBay. I spent 2 hours last night trying to find one online but the language barrier is not helpful. If they spoke Spanish down there it would be so much easier. And it has serpentine belt brackets! Must be a hot running little turkey as it has a big block radiator
