Were I you, I’d dump the AMC driveline and swap in a 4.0L HO I6 (and trans) from a later Jeep. It’s a direct swap, and you will get a *massive* increase in mileage, power, and relibility. You will also gain an overdrive and a shorter first gear. And your Jeep will lose a few pounds.

In addition, you are aware that Chrysler has discontinued all parts for the AMC V8s (304-401) and that all you can get is what’s left in the warehouse, right?

Thanks for the tip. I got used to the funny looks from parts people when looking for parts for my old one. For the most part, I have done more or less OK with aftermarket, swap meets, and Ebay. Anytime I can lay my hands on NOS stuff, I will take it.
