- 1977 CJ5 304 V8 3 speed Trans Fiberglass front end,
I'm getting ready to purchase a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l (AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l ) to put into my CJ5
and I have came across several different years,
International AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l out of pickups and travelall's
AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l / AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l out of CJ5 , CJ7 , Cherokee's etc. from the early 1970's to middle 1980's
Are these engines all the same and will interchange with one another ??
The reason I ask I looked for an engine for my 77 CJ5 and it came up with a couple, then I looked up another for a 73 CJ5 and it came up with an engine close to me, that didn't come up under my 77 CJ5 search ??
Why was this and will it work ?
