Re: 79 Jeep question

The "S" is for Sport. There may be some different tuning, possibly different cam, for the 258, but it's just a run of the mill 258. It should have a deeper oil pan that holds an extra quart -- no good on a car because it extends past the crossmember and catches everything (I know that from experience!). Just change the pan to a car type along with the pickup tube.
