Great thread. I love seeing a the progression of a jeep. And yours is so pretty! We don't get that up here. Nice work. Looking forward to seeing the 360 in her!beerchug.gif

Nice work so far. Very clean looking build. I just pick up my CJ5 with no top, and will be surely getting a Supertop this year so I'm ready for the next winter.

I dropped the Jeep off at the shop last Friday. The engine swap project has officially started. :drool:
I will be attempting to create something similar to this look. Simple/classic. I don't know who owns this jeep/engine, but I like the way they did it.

And I am selling the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l , if anyone is interested.

It is a Best Top soft top. I've owned it since around 2011. It has aged well through some occasional daily driving, rain, and winters. It is always garaged though.

I sold the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l on Wednesday. I sold it complete, as pictured, with the entire exhaust as well. Nearly all the parts are in for the 360.

I found a site that had some. I got a few different types of 360 decals. I also got some AMC v8 badges for the fenders. Should look kinda cool. I deleted my FB a long time ago.

I'm about two weeks behind you as far as the engine goes.

The picture above with the clutch answers one...I wasn't sure if the steel shim used on my AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l was also needed between the bell housing and engine.

What are using for a throttle cable bracket with the edelbrock manifold?

I've seen a few Lokar cables with their bracket but I haven't been able to find an edelbrock or similar part.

Your motor looks great!!
