Re: YJ frame under a CJ

You need the 6 cylinder version since you plan to put a V8 in it. The engine mounts are different between the 4 and 6, but an AMC V8 will drop in place of an AMC inline 6. So putting your 304 in a 6 cylinder YJ frame is easy.

The reason the wider spring is better is because it doesn't have to be as stiff to carry the same load. YJ front springs ride much better than the narrower CJ front springs.
