AX15 to AMC 258?, Flywheel questions?

[burrellsjeep]

Asking this for my brother in law, So my info is second hand.

He has a Jeep CJ7 with a 4.2 in it, it had a auto trans and he is swapping an AX15 in its place. The AX 15 (with external slave) is out of a XJ and the question is, Should he use the Flywheel Dust Shield for a AX15 or for the Flywheel on the 4.2?

I am not a Transmission person so I am clueless, so pardon my stupidity on this one.

you need the 258(4.2) flywheel that matches the balance of the engine. You will however need a different pilot bushing/bearing to go in the end of the crank shaft than what the 258 would normally use.
