I agree, very bizarre !! Although I heard that a few people dropped a 313 Chrysler in their perfectly good 406's. They reckoned it almost doubled the horse power and torque and made it as powerful as other top cars of the era !

They all clubbed together and decided to call it a 407

I like the Rover 2600 engine - It powers my lawn mower beautifully
