- '79 CJ5, 258 I6, T150 w/Dana20, Dana30 front and AMC20 rear. My first Jeep! I'm looking forward to doing some minor upgrades and restoration while enjoying the ride.

- 1981 CJ5/258 4.2L I6, Tremec T-176 4-speed, Dana 300, Power Steering, Howell Throttle Body Injection System, Warn Locking Hubs, Warn Rock Crawler front/rear bumper with Tire Swing Carrier, Full Roll Cage, Pro Comp ES9000 shocks
If it's an Inline 6 cylinder on an 81 CJ, I think it's probably an AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l L.

I agree with Jzak, it's probably a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l
