The AMC 232 inline 6 uses a cast iron block and cylinder head with hydraulic lifters and 7 main bearings. It was the standard engine in CJs from '72-'78 and in '65-'70 J-series pickups and Wagoneers. It is hard to tell it from a 258 by looking at it.

The AMC 232 was the standard engine in '72-'78 CJs.
