cj7 question

03-12-2012, 10:34 PM

Just wondering... my cj has the straight 6. I highly doubt this but I'm wondering if a 304 will bolt to my trans? Only asking cause I have a spankin new trans that has gears n. Super clutch basically its built for offroad only. But I want more power lol.

Will bolt right up. 258, 204, 360, 401, all same bolt pattern.

Also my welder doesn't really have the balls to weld 1/8th inch to 1/4 steel to fix my frame. Its rusted out at the back leaf springs so if any one wants to make some money ill bring it buy n some cash to have some one weld in my plates.

Ohhh noo wayy man I have a built 360 out of a drag car. It will bolt right up????

All AMC straight 6 and V8's have the same bell housing pattern.

definitely same bolt pattern, but the engine mounts I'm not sure about...

Yea motor mounted are different. I already have some.

Any engine with "built" or "race" in the description will kill a D30/model20 .. Unless you have more in the drivetrain I'd stick with the 258.

I've got a 258 in my CJ7. It has the Weber Redline Carb, an aftermarket cam (but the guy I bought it from didn't know the specs of the cam he said Roy Carl did all the work), with an HEI. It makes some nice power. I do have a complete glass body though and I'm turning 35" boggers.

I will say running a 360 is a totally different animal. My brother did the same actually, took a 258 CJ7 Laredo and dropped a 360 in no problem. It was a beast. He did have to bend the headers a little to get them to fit properly but that was it.

A stock 360/304 has way less actual power than you think it does. Now if the motor is built out of some kind of racecar, that's a different story.
