    uff da, the odd fire 198ci!

    you don't see a whole lot of those.

    if you have any significant trouble with it, you should give serious consideration to dropping in a ~1980 4.1L or 3.8L / 231ci even fire Buick v6. should be almost a direct drop in and i'm sure the Jeep wouldn't mind a little more torque.

    you are aware that Jeep was using Buick v6 and v8 engines in the late 60s, yes?
