Stock 258 with 4.0 head
A jeep i6 stroked to 4.7
Amc 401 v8 with alluminum intake (weighs about 50 lbs more than a 6cyl)

My red jeep needs a new motor. Blew it up in Clayton last year. So here is a poll for opinions in a new motor
Stock 258 with 4.0 head
A jeep i6 stroked to 4.7
Amc 401 v8 with alluminum intake (weighs about 50 lbs more than a 6cyl)
5.3, 6.0 or LS
If I had a jeep, those would be my options.
But off if your list, I would pick the stock motor with 4.0 head
5.3 or stock 4.0, all of your other options look gay.
401. AMCs are neat.
401
Do you bave a 401? Or a source?
If you're rebuilding an I6, might as well make it a stroker.
If you're just swapping in a used engine, my vote is 4.2 with 4.0 head and factory fuel injection swap.
It currently has a 4.2 with 4.0 head and it went boom
I have a 4.2 in the shop in unknown condition from a parted cj
There is a guy with a Hesco stroker 4.7 short block on cl for 800
I have a line on a 401 with a guy I swap parts with sometimes
