Motor swap on a '73 CJ
Hi everyone, I have some questions about a swap for my buddy's Jeep. I'm
gonna 'fess up that I copied and pasted this from my post at 4x4wire, cause
its long, and I havn't gotten any responces over there. Thanks a lot for
your help! Brian.
The Motor in the Jeep is shot.
What he has:
'73 CJ5 with a stock 258
Single barrel Carter :-(
Stock vacuum advance, points-type distributor
Stock manifolds
3-speed stick
What going in there:
'76 AMC Pacer 258 (wish we had the Pacer!)
Stock electronic ignition distributor
2 barrel Carter
Stock manifolds (with air injection)
Funky Borg-Warner ignition box
Came out of auto-tranny car
The questions are:
Which parts should we swap over or upgrade?
CARB?
I don't know if we should even try to use the new 2bbl carb with the
emission Cr*p. 2bbl would be nice, the single seems kind of weak.
DISTRIBUTOR?
Should we go with the older points distributor? Maybe the electronic
distributor would be less maintanance and more relieable, but does it have
smog junk built in, and might it be a PITA to hook up? Needs the Borg-Warner
ignition box I assume.
MANIFOLDS?
Leave on the 2bbl intake and exahaust, and plug the air injection?
How about upgrades? Maybe upgrade to an Offenhauser intake and a Weber? Or
might a Weber bolt up to the Stock 2bbl intake manifold?
So, maybe, go with mechanical distributor, and Weber on stock manifolds?
Also, someone mentioned the motors being "internally or externally
ballanced." Is that something I should concern myself with?
My buddy has a few bucks to spend, but this Jeep is a little bit of a
beater, so he doesn't want to dump any money into that he doesn't have to.
So what do you all suggest for the noobs?
Thanks a lot, Brian.
here is a link to pics of both the motors, and whats on them...

Re: Motor swap on a '73 CJ
I don't see a problem using everything from the '76 from the '73
flywheel and pilot forward.

Re: Motor swap on a '73 CJ
Thanks for the quick responce Bill.
So, as far as you know, there are no problematic smog parts on the '76?
That would be cool.
