    Default Help with AMC 360 engine mount swap

    I am currently doing a (I6) amc 258 to (v8) amc 360 swap. I think i get most everything required with an exception of what to do about motor mounts. My 67' M715 had a amc 258 I6 in it which is now dead.. I have access to an amc 360 for replacement out of a 85' grand wagoneer. Can anyone provide me guidance on how to address the motor mounts issues... much obliged.

    Pretty sure the stock wagoneer parts will work...Should be stock parts for all of it. On a CJ you just change the passenger side...
    Is that real money?

    whizone,
    It may depend on how they mounted the 258.

    Post #22 on page 3 of the following thread shows a picture of a J10 chassis, and I explain the difference I found between the FSJ, and M715 mounting surfaces.
    Ignore the motor bracket pictures, as they are for a 258.

    As Ray Steadward mentioned, you will probably be able to use stock FSJ motor brackets, and insulators.
    You will likely need to add the plates to the frame mounting horns, unless it was already done to accommodate the 258.
