amc 360/ automatic installation in a cj7

I have a good AMC 360 motor / auto-trans from a '77 Matador. The Matador was hit, while parked, in the rear.
I have an '86 CJ7 steel body with a blown 4-cylinder engine.
I understand the 360-motor swap is not a particular problem as far as bolting it in, but can the automatic transmission be usable with the transfer case? Or should I be attaching the engine to the standard jeep gearbox? In the latter case, do I need a conversion plate?
Or should I just put in the 360 engine/auto-trans assembly and forget about FWD?
Thank You,
Dieter Schmied
