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.

 

You have a Chevy engine like the Postal DJ Jeeps used with two
wheel drive:
