1980 CJ7
 
I recently purchased a 1980 CJ7. Motor is a straight 4, pretty sure
2.5, this was uncommon and probably wolnt be staying for long as I am
in the process of finding and rebuild a 305 or 350. Does anyone know
what kind of transmission, transfer case, front end and rear end it has
in it. I have looked it up but everything I have found about a CJ7
either has the straight 6 or a V8.

Here's some links for you:

Many links to articles on engines, transmissions, axles, cooling and more.

Links to articles about jeep engines, including this one on your 151 (no
one here will refer to mid-80s and earlier engines by their litre
displacement, only their cubic inch displacement):

The 151 (2.5L) inline 4 engine was used in '80-'83 CJs including

Pontiac engine designed to replace the Chevy "Iron Duke" I4 engine. The
engine does have the Chevy bell housing bolt pattern though. The engine is

The neat part about the engine is it has the same bell housing bolt
pattern as a Chevy small block.

It will likely have a Dana 30 front, an AMC20 rear (w/4.10 gears?), a T-176
tranny (if manual), and a Dana 300 transfer case.
