What engine used for Jeep CJ7 Laredo?
I have a 1983 CJ7 Jeep Laredo which originally had a 258 6cyl AMC motor which you could source from an old Rambler Hornet and a couple of other Ramblers that had that motor. I installed a AMC 360 V8 motor from a 1977 Rambler Matador which bolted straight on to the Torqueflite 904 auto gearbox which I installed a 2 stage kit and highstall torque converter. Being in Australia I used Holden engine mounts and Holden WB radiator and fan shroud. She's one quick Jeep now.

Average mpg on jeep cj7?
12 mpg with a 1981 CJ7, 258 engine. -------------------------- 1982 CJ7 Golden Eagle with a 3-Speed Ford 302-V8 engine and 33in Goodyear (Hummer Radials) in perfect mechanical condition - I get about 15 in the city, but I'm careful about how I drive. (hardly ever run the AC)
What does a stepper motor on the back of the carb. do on a 1984 cj7 258 6 cylinder jeep and what does it connect to?
The stepper motor controls idle speed. A bad motor allows the engine to rev at idle. It often sounds as if the timing is off but not so- It's the stepper motor malfunctioning. I own a stock (original owner) '84 CJ7 6 4.01 straight 6 with a bad stepper motor. There is no replacement part for this stock item - Jeep discontinued it recently. There's no after-market part for this year ('84) unfortunately. You'll need to check out salvage yards or perhaps something custom made advertised elsewhere. I hope this helps somehow.
