A 360 Chrysler Jeep engine will not fit. Chrysler did use the AMC 360 blocks for a while though I know the 91 Grand Wagoneer still used the AMC 360. Not that it matters but the AMC 4 cyls use a GM bolt pattern and won't fit. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Freedom Off Road Re: what engines will bolt to my tranny [Re: JeePete] #771425 12/12/06 09:19 PM Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 66 R rvdjr OP Getting the Wheeling Fever so it take it that any amc v8 will work but not a chrysler? and yes it has a 258.

A couple of things you will need will be specific V8 motor mounts and buy a flexplate for a V8. I believe you can use the same plate for both the 304 and 360. 258,s are neutral balanced and the AMC V8,s are externally balanced by the flexplate. Also the V8,s generate more heat so you might want to get a 3 core or better rad. 84 CJ7 304 HEI 35 BFG,s rear dana 60 with detroit locker,Viar compressor, fibreglass body, 2 1/2 spring lift, TF999auto, Warn 8000 winch, Plus a cool little trailer on 35,s.

BUT you will need to fabricate mounts and an adapter plate from ADVANCE ADAPTERS. The AMC engines would be far easier to install.
