Re: 6 or 8 cylinders?
Don't listen to twaldron. We just recently had this argument and he
obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. For a while he was
actually claiming that 6-cylinders had more power than 8's! I suspect
him of being a Greenpeace agent provocateur. ;-)
That being said, however, the 6 is indeed powerful enough for most
applications you are likely to see. The 8 can give you more
acceleration and/or torque. BUT.. you're probably still not going to
outrun most modern cars for applications like merging onto the freeway
ramp. I have one of the few situations which actually poses some
demand for a larger engine: A Scrambler (long wheelbase jeep) with
truck bed that can be used for hauling heavy equipment, as well as
occasional heavy towing. Unless you envision something like that, you
can certainly make due happily enough with a 6.
Fuel mileage on a 6 vs 8 cylinder CJ is the difference between poor
and very poor. If fuel economy/the environment is your biggest
concern, don't buy any Jeep vehicle, esp. not a CJ.

Re: 6 or 8 cylinders?
Joshua - please tell the story properly.
Twaldron pointed out that the the TJs 190hp I6 was more powerful than the
150hp AMC 304 V8, and he is perfectly correct.

Re: 6 or 8 cylinders?
Not likely you will hear from him again, he just pulled a big bone head
move by attacking Twaldren's online income in other groups.
He is history....

Re: 6 or 8 cylinders?
We were talking about torque, but let him believe what he wants. He does
anyway.
