Well, I got something else to play with:

[terrawombat]

Most of them are 247s, some of them came with the 242s, but those are more rare.

 

Personally I prefer the 242 over the 247, after driving around with this 247 for just a short while I am set on that.

 

A good number of WJ guys swap to the 242 when they can.

 

It's interesting, 5 years ago the 242 didn't get much love, but in the past few years many more people are starting to like the 242 over the 231(in the XJ world at least). Interesting how preferences change.

 

Which has been driving up their price like crazy. If I ever have the time when I'm in the JY, I'll usually pull one to add to the stash as my local place only charges $60-$75, depending on who is working.

 

There's a few idjits on one ZJ forum I'm on who won't use the 242 because it has a slightly lower max torque rating than the 231, but the figures we're talking are almost triple the output of any ZJ engine...

Ya if your into the territory of being able to break a 242 you ought to upgrade to something past a 231 anyways.

 

The great thing about the 242 is that its like a 231, but better, because you get the AWD option if you really want it.

 

Like I said, back in 2005 or so the 242 didn't get much love, and it seems like these days people are liking it much more.
