This conversion is practically a bolt it. 76-86 CJ’s all used the same mounts for the axles. Potential snags…brake lines, e-brake lines, and shock mounts. See the article Wide Track CJ with ARB Air …
Question: I have an 86 Grand Wagonner with the AMC 360 engine. I am rebuilding a 71 AMC 360. Any problems with swapping the engines? I am especially curious about the crank shaft to transmission hook up. Thank you, Jeffrey Answer: All the AMC V8’s used the same outer mounting points including the crankshaft output …
