See my profile and other CJ5/7 POSTS! I sent this to you not long after your question arrived, I sent it "PM" in hopes that someone else would have "EXACT" figures you were after.
I went back and copied the "PM" and submitting it to you now, maybe it will help some, even though it is "Late" coming to you.
See my profile, AND CJ 5 and CJ 7 Questions, for my "Abilities". I answer alot of the CJ stuff, I am currently working on the '85 CJ 7 Stalls when hot.
I do not have exact numbers for you (searched my books cannot find) I left your question alone in forum, in case someone did have it.
I chose to rebuild a second engine, while still driving the original. Then I did a "quick" 6 hour "swap out", thus keeping all pieces, together and familiar...no confusion or problems, during the change-out!
I now have a 1976 "AMC HORNET" 258 in mine (same block and head, as all AMC, those years). When I built it, I put on the Jeep oil pan, and changed the cam (from a 1 barrel [YF carb] cam, to a 2 barrel [BBD carb] cam). Replaced the intake and exaust for a 2 barrel BBD CARB.
What I have NOW, with these changes is a "1979 Jeep 258 Engine w/2 barrel Carb......that was 6 years ago, since then I tried a WEBER DGEV on that intake, then Switched to a "Offy" 4 barrel intake, with a "HOLLEY" 390 CFM CARB (I like it alot)
Mine has the Stamped Metal valve cover (earlier 258s) and the head was drilled and tapped for this....later they (AMC) changed to a Plastic cover (anchors for valve cover, not great, leaks alot) They have aftermarket improvements for these later models!
I believe Displacement and that sorta thing, should be the same between both of our engines.
To sorta maybe help on your question, I tested COMPRESSION on my freshly rebuilt engine at 3000 miles after rebuild (6 or so years ago, wanted rings to be somewhat, broke in.)I had 135-140 PSI on each cylinder. I was told if they were ALL within 10-15 PSI of the HIGHEST reading, This was "ACCEPTABLE"......I am no expert on Engine Quality Specs, and cannot find a factory spec to your question. Seems like every guy out there has his own "Standards" on Quality! I was happy, mine were within 5 PSI of the highest PSI!
