so i got this here 1976 jeep cj5 with the 4.2 258 motor and i bought a carburetor cleanin kit and it had a bunch of wrong stuff and i just ran the number on the carb and come to find out its off a older ford 300 straight six motor so now the question is could i have a 300 six ford motor bolted to my jeep 3speed and tcase or is it more likely that the threw a ford carb on my jeep motor????????


It is a common swap to change out the Jeep carb for the Ford six cylinder one. It is uncommon to actually install a complete Ford engine. In fact I've not heard of the ford six cylinder in a CJ.
