Why would you want to use a Ford 6? Stock Jeep motors are easy to come by and much easier to install. Anyway, is it a 176/200 or a 240/300 CID. The 200 should fit without much trouble. The 300 is quite a bit longer. It is possable that you will have to push the fire wall back.You will have to mesure the length and compare it to the engine bay. This is beyond the motor mounts, carb,cluch, trans, and other misc adaptions.
