(GM do Brasil did manufacture multipoint fuel injection (with revised cylinder heads using the separate intake manifold) for the 250 - Brasilian market Chevrolets (Brazil-market Chevrolet Omega and its local produced GMT400 trucks had the 250 (4.1L); production ended in 2001.) | (GM do Brasil did manufacture multipoint fuel injection (with revised cylinder heads using the separate intake manifold) for the 250 - Brasilian market Chevrolets (Brazil-market Chevrolet Omega and its local produced GMT400 trucks had the 250 (4.1L); production ended in 2001.) | ||
| − | The stock intake uses the exhaust manifold to provide heat to the intake, but if aftermarket exhaust headers and/or intake manifolds are used, this feature will be missing (this setup is similar to a stock Jeep 4.0L where a tubular exhaust header is used in lieu of a cast iron manifold). For many applications that will see daily driver duty, an aftermarket intake equipped with hot water heating of the plenum is a plus. | + | The stock intake uses the exhaust manifold to provide heat to the intake, but if aftermarket exhaust headers and/or intake manifolds are used, this feature will be missing (this setup is similar to a stock Jeep 4.0L (which is the final generation of the AMC inline six used exclusively by Jeep c. 1987-2006) where a tubular exhaust header is used in lieu of a cast iron manifold).
