CJ5 360 swap?

[ray299]

I have a 1985 CJ5 that had a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l but I have an AMC 360 that needs to go in. Can anyone tell me what motor mounts to buy? I heard I needed different ones than the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l ... also, is that all I need to bolt it up?
I don't have time for trial and error or making my own as I have done in the past.
Thanks in advance!

You need AMC V8 motor mounts for a CJ and not the mounts from your donor vehicle.

You also get M.O.R.E bombproof.

Your also going to need to rearrange a little fuel line and extend some wiring here and there. What Transmission are you using behind the 360? The T-176 is the best Transmission of that era but depending on whats been done to the 360 even that Transmission is borderline behind it.

You cannot use the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l flywheel on the 360. The 360 needs its own specific flywheel. You also need a pilot bearing.
