If this is accurate, you could put a Mopar small block and TQ 727 into a Jeep without much adapting. To not offend the Diehard Jeep fans too much, I would use a Jeep Grand Cherokee MAGNUM engine (318 or 360). The MAGNUM series engines have Dodge Block design with AMC head design adapted to it. The AMC V8 heads are superior to just about any head design out there. That is why Dodge adapted them for use after aquiring AMC.

I'm pretty sure this particular Jeep has a THM400. I could be wrong, but I had one years ago, with a 400 trans.
I think Jeep switched to Chrysler autos after 1980. Before that, Jeep used GM transmissions.
