Question
QUESTION: will this motor bolt right up to were a 304 or 360 was or does it have different motor mounts the reason is im tryin to find a kit to put it in my 94 wrangler and i cant find them anywhere? thanks!

ANSWER: To answer your first questions, no. It won't bolt up.
Secondly, why do you want to put an old design, heavy engine in your Jeep. There are no performance parts available and few parts to repair it being that it hasn't been used since 1965?

QUESTION: because i have it ! and i checked with napa and they can get anything i need for that motor and from what iv heard they are a pretty stout motor . that and its different everybodys got 350s 304s and 360s! So does this mean im pretty much on my own on this one ?

Answer
Yes.
The AMC 327 was typical of the engines back in the 50's & early 60's. It is thick wall construction. It is probably close to 500-600#, more than twice as much as the later V-8's. They are physically larger and power for pound, way behind a late model AMC, or Ford, GM or Mopar.
But hey, if you have one and you are adventurous, go for it.
It will involve some major modifying and back yard engineering.
Best of luck in your endeavor.
