I need to know what has to be done in order to swap out my dead 258 6 banger with a freash 304 jeep motor IE. flywheel ,will it bolt up, motor mounts,do i need to change belhousing, is it worth the time . I look forward to any input provided this is my first jeep a 75 cj-5 it has a 258 6 cly. and a 3 speed trans . I bought a jeep honcho with a 304 automatic trans and complete running gears just for parts again thanks.
 

Speaking for myself, I like the 258, it has tons of usable torq, is very dependable, and gets pretty good gas mileage which means better range. I would drop a rebuilt 258 with a mild cam rather than fool with the head ache of adaptors wiring and all that with going to a V8.

my 2 cents!
