The Buick 235 is a direct swap, and most older Buick-Pontiac-Olds engines
bolt up, but have problems with engine mounts, hoses, etc.
I put a 4.3L GM Astrovan engine in a Jeepster, but the bolting to the trans
was the easiest part.

Don't a 3.2 or 3.8 bolt up too?

Wait, he's going into a `71 CJ-5? I thought that automatics didn't, as
a rule, fit. That was one of the reasons for the CJ-7 design -- enough
space for an auto tailshaft.
