The CJ's frame was not modified. Its basically a 76 CJ5 with a springover. But I don't know what he used for exhaust, I'll ask. I don't get the exhaust he used, I get the exhaust manifolds off the 401 he's putting in.

there are no CJ-specific exhaust manifolds, only CJ-specific headers. The exception MIGHT be very late FSJ manifolds used in the 80's, and would only be the left manifold that is different.

CJ AMC V8 drivers side exhaust manifold has a different dump angle

He used CJ 304 manifolds. CJ and car left manifolds dump closer to center than the waggy/truck manifolds. All right side manifolds are the same. Exception is that late waggys had small restrictive manifolds. The truck ones are supposed to work anyway. Comes close to the floorboard, makes it hotter, I'll put a heat shield.
He's keeping the ignition off of it. Giving me the distributor from the 401 but its old and crappy and points. Any way I can use my 258's distributer?

I don't think so, but I think MC was working on a HEI setup if I am not mistaken. Now if he will only comment on it!!!

It doesn't work, somethin about its too long. Duraspark is what I'll need anyway for when I put the GM fuel injection on. So I'll just find one of those.

if you want to spend a lot of money, get the 401 from the dump truck- it won't have much wear cause it was run so easy ](*,) regardless, if they're cheap, decide after they're apart- you can always sell a rebuildable core- be careful with flywheels as the 360 & 401 are externally balanced & the 304 isn't- your 258 flywheel might even work with the 304!!

I allready got the 360 with a flywheel.
And this.

Hmm these pics confirm my suspicions..Everyone else uses a claw hammer for everything also! So a double ended screwdriver,vicegrips,Crescent wrench and a claw hammer the all purpose tool kit!
Sorry man my prozac must be wearing off the voices are coming back.

Clean block, what about the 401?
Buy the way, how did you get my patio table without me noticing? :?:

401's going in the CJ5 the 360 came out of. It was from a 75 international dumptruck and had CJ exhaust manifolds. Its likely gonna need a rebuild.
And the table, I am very very sneaky.......

CJ and Wagoneer manifolds WILL exchange, depending on year. I got rid of my 77 CJ manifolds, and bolted on a set of 72 Wagoneer manifolds W/O the smog rail fittings. Direct bolt on. I know they changed the left side manifold, but it wasn't until the 80s, as mentioned earlier.

So eight, are you going to piece together a GM fuel injection on your 360? Can you give us some details on this - I am VERY interested!! Not only that, but I have a junk yard just a mile up the street that I can rape for parts.... :-|
