You should be able to use the stock AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l CJ mounts.

Can you post some pics of what you are looking at? So you are saying you can't get the CJ mount to bolt to the motor?

Correct. Go anywhere and look at motor mounts for
'83 AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l and '90 AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l . I think YJ frame is wider
