I have a 91 Wrangler and would like to put a 70's 258 or 232 in it. Is it a direct swap? Are the motor mounts the same? Will the AUTO trans bolt up?

I bought a cj7 top for my yj today. My windshield frame dosnt have any holes, the top does. Are they supposed to bolt together up front? It fits tight and my dad dosnt remember having any bolts up front in his cj7.

Is it the same as other V8's, take off distributor, get tool and use drill?

I found a new one at amclives.com $320 billet steel.

I'll look tomorrow to see what trans I have. It's a 3 speed

Why is it so hard to find a 304/manual trans flywheel? I assumed this was the most common configuration in Jeeps during the 70's. They produced millions of them! I can buy any other trans and engine combination except this one. Does anybody know a website wear I can find one? I was also told...

I hope this helps. http://www.allpar.com/forums/topic/117404-enginetransmission-bell-housings/ 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 in 1964–1971), but the 196 had different dowel pin sizes. The AMC...

I believe a 290 will also bolt up to any amc 258-401 pattern trans. I think it has a different deck height for the heads so people think it's a totally different block but my research tells me it's the same bolt pattern. I think the 343 was used mainly in ih scouts.

Thanks ljrubitm, I found it at the link you gave me.

I'll look for the paint code. Wwch99tj sent me to a site that said the color is called "Brilliant Blue" if that helps.

Anyone know of a website that sells Levi blue Jeep paint.

Thanks for the info! I was thinking about putting in a 401 but with government regulations the specs (HP & torque) on the late 70's motor are horrible. I mean who really wants a 401 with 150hp at 12 miles to the gallon! If I get engine that big I want at least 250+ hp. I have a 360 now that's...

I have a 77 cj5 and I need a new motor. The early 70's stock motors have alot more power, so how old can I go and still bolt up to a 1977 trans? Is there a website with a chart? 69-71 Have the most power
