The 258 I6 is a strong, dependable engine with plenty of power for a CJ
and parts are cheap. The weak spot seems to be that decades without
routine maintenance will result in the #6 rod bearing spinning.

Re: Engine swap straight 6 to 350
it hasnt really been that long that the engine hasnt been running but i
havent seen it yet. so if i wanted to put the 350 i got in should i use
the existing tranny or should i use the one i got with the truck i got
with it. the truck is a GMC 6000 like 1960,70? with the new crate
engine in it. i got it running and its got a lot of low end torque.
shuold i use that tranny or get like a turbo 400?
