How does a Merlin V-1650 refurbished from a P-51 Mustang Sound? Ya Know it does have a blower. High altitude should be no problem with your "Inline" V-6 258 you want to replace, and theres a few extra cylinders to boot! Let's Regroup and maybe ask the question a little better please!--The Medic

Did't mean to sound so harsh (I felt bad about it). Whatever you stick in, is your preference. You must look at modifications you must perform, adapters that may be needed. What you want to do with it. And most of all, the Cost of the monster you are wanting to construct, dependent on what must be done to fulfill your dream (or someone else's) Sky's the limit. Explore Jeep Parts Sites for available engine adapters. Please get your present engine nomenclature figgered out, before you present it to others!--The Medic
