The bell housing bolt pattern for the old AMC 196 Straight-6 engine is the same as for the more modern early 199 and 232 (used from 1964 to 1971), but the 196 had different dowel pin sizes.

The 4.0 L is one of AMC's best-known engines. [30] It was one of four AMC engines kept in production when Chrysler bought AMC in 1987.
