Yup. Right again. The main differences was the accessories. Some used Chevy parts, some used Ford. The 4.0L is nothing more than a destoked 4.2 (258) with EFI and better flowing cylinder head. Just mine came out of a tractor and instead of a vehicle. Lol.

Internets searching only shows the AMC engines in Scouts and other 70s trucks. What did you pull yours from?

Cop: excuse me?
Me: I want my jeep back. What does it take?
Cop: your nuts. Your axle is disconnected. Scrap in man.

Comment I can see, my jeep has no doors cut and fold fenders with mudflap flares. My reply is always since when is a jeep supposed to be classy?
