My buddy is looking at buy a CJ with 60s front and rear. I drove by and noticed it was sportin a drivers side drop front. Anyway, he is wondering about running a 300 inline six I have. I told him I think its too long. He says he thinks itll fit. What do you guys think? Anyone ever done it?

I think it'll fit without much hassle. You can always run an electric fan on the front side of the radiator, or modify the firewall, but I doubt that'll be necessary.
