I'm new to this so bare with me. I'm pretty handy and can do just about anything , but don't like making mistakes especially when it costs me time or money . I like to save the money for the jeep and the time for the kids. I need good advice on what parts to buy what to look for and what to stay away from. My cj7 has a 360 amc motor a t176 tranny and a dana300 transfer case. It also has dana44 axles front and rear. The driveline is out of a wagoneer i suspect. The leaf springs were moved outside the framerails because of the wide axles ,i dont know if this is common or not.It actually drives good and runs really well I just want the reliability of a chevy motor and need the automatic for chronic knee problems. Any advice on wiring harnesses adapters for the transfer case , and power steering brackets would greatly be appreciated . I will respond quickly . Thanks  

im sorry ill argue for the amc 360.as far as reliable,they are.i did an ignition upgrade useing 84 ford 460 v8 coil,wires,cap,rotor,and cap base,4 prong module from a chevy mounted to a old processer cooler from a computer.this gets rid of the fender mount ignition box.re gap plugs to 45th.they make a intake to bolt on chevy tbi but must be reflashed to run right.i love the torque of this engine,wish i could find a 401
