I am pretty sure it is doable, but the truck is tiny, so it got me wondering.
It’s 232 is in excellent shape, but I have always wanted an AMC 360.
Probably keep the 232 in case my Cherokees 242 goes bad.

This is my dads 1979 CJ-5 Renegade. It has a AMC 360, 4 speed manual transmition, and a 354 DANA 44 Rear. The paint is the original color and the letters and lines are airbrushed with original pattern and the drawing in the back is all airbrushed also (And yes that is a JK in the back that has been murdered by bullet holes). It came stock with a 304 but sorry those LOL5.0L Engines just cant keep up with the 360-390. Jeeps are really popular in Puerto Rico and well this is the TRUE JEEP Would really love to see a JK keep up with it on the road . Anyways this is a video to show off my dads hard work. It still not 100% finished needs a few minor things but my dad is really proud of it and so am I.

This is another short video of the Jeeps stereo system. Its really basic my dad doesnt like loud music but I do. It only has 2 5.25 inch speakers in the front and 4 6.50 in the back. The boxes in the back are fiberglass and covered to match the seats. Its really a basic system no amp just a JVC MP3 CD player with 220 Watts total power. It sounds nice for what it has. Any questions please feel free to ask.

*This video is old, needs to be updated. The engine/drivetrain has been vastly improved since this video was filmed.* My daily driver 1981 Jeep CJ-5 with a .030 over AMC 360 V8 with a little bit of work done to it. Edelbrock 600cfm Performer carb Edelbrock Performer Intake compcams 268H AMC camshaft with matched timing set Stock ignition system for the most part Everything else is explained in the video. Filmed on a high 20 F degree day. This Jeep is too much fun and the AMC V8′s are very strong motors. This one has about 6000 miles on it since the engine rebuild. The speedometer is accurate give or take 2-3mph, checked with a GPS. The T176 is a great transmission and has never skipped a beat. I’ve wheeled it pretty hard and put it through some hell on the street and at the strip with several tire size/gear combinations. 3rd gear redlines at about 90mph with the current setup. I’ve never really gotten much into 4th gear. For you guys who have shown concern regarding the suspension, steering, etc… It has all been refurbished/upgraded to stock/better than stock condition. It drives very well, straight and true down the road and is almost nothing like the stereotypical CJ when it comes to its road manners.
