Replaced 258 (4.2L) engine

By: Jeff 08/13/2024

The 258 (4.2L) was 46 years old and began burning oil and you could hear the bearings. I decided to replace with a Jasper 4.2L engine. I investigated the old engine and found it to be the original and the good news is that the Jasper replacement was from a 1979 model Jeep!
