engine swap

[zayin]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can help me. A friend of mine is wanting to replace his 6cyl 285 engine with a V-8 304 engine. He has a 79 Jeep CJ. Does anyone know how difficult it will be. I know he will have to replace his intake and exhaust manifolds and probably his brackets and mounts. But what about his bellhousing and flywheel? Is this task even possible??

Any tips or advice is appreciated
Thanks
