It actually has a bigger carb than the 75 262.
I have always wondered about that one, BIlly. Does the 1.375" throttle bore front-half-of-a-Quadrajet carb used on the 267 actually flow more than the 1.686" throttle bore conventional Rochester 2-bbl on the 262?

My dime in the pot today may stretch the limit because it is EFI, but it has proven potential.

96-99 Jeep Grand Cherokee 242/190-175/170 MPI
2WD of course! One of the best flowing cylinder heads offered on a pushrod American I6, lots of blueprinted compression, more than adequate camshaft. The offroad guys have developed lots of stuff for this engine and the knowledge base is broad and deep. The throttle body flows over 450 cfm according to Chrysler and there are several "tuneup" controllers available that are affordable. AMC Torqueflites bolt up and some years used Dana 44 or AMC 20 rear ends.

There is a racer in Div 1 (I cannot remember his name) who runs this same engine in a late 80s Comanche pickup and the later engines are even better. Several superceded parts should be listed in the tech bulletins that cover intake systems and the cylinder head that would possibly be even better than the current listings.

This is an R, T, or U car depending on year and model and you could even squeek a 5-speed into the 96 model.

We're up to $.20 in the pot now!
