What engine is this?

[BigSouth]

Hey guys. New here. Thinking about buying this old CJ7 Renegade as a project to mess around with, but I can't tell what kind of engine is in it. All I can see in the image is "25"(didn't see a decimal) so I was wondering if that is "2.5"(4 cylinder?) or "AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l "(Inline 6?)?

Thanks for any input.

Yep, it'a a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l inline 6 with an after market cast alum. valve cover, an Offenhauser 4 bbl. intake and a Holley 4 bbl. carb. None of which was standard.

considering you can see the numbers 25 on the cast valve cover
read the name Offenhauser on the intake
and recognize a Holly from it's distinctive shape.
not really
