304/360

[scottPlymesser]

I have a 1973 CJ5 with
a AMC 304 in it and I was thinking about putting a 360 in it. My
question is will the 360 bolt up to my existing tranny? T3 Transmission !!

Hay welcome to the site.

On your question I think that they will. I would start a tread in the drivetrain section I know you will get your answer.

There is a lot of knowledgeable guy on here that can help you out.

They interchange, completely, the only difference is displacement, so you can put a 360 any place you find a AMC 304 .

As stated the AMC V8s are all interchangeable however the flywheels are not as these motors are externally balanced. What that means is each motor size (AMC 304 , 360, 401) requires a different balance to the flywheel. Many of the 360 & all of the 401 were used with an automatic transmissions behind so you may have to track down the right flywheel; new ones however are readily available. The rest of the components, clutch system, motor mounts, distributor, etc. are all “plug & play” so to speak.
