I'd guess that Memphis is putting in a 258. AMC lenghtened the CJ-5
body (right behind front fender opening) by 4" starting in the '72 model
year, to accomodate the _new_ 232 and 258 sixes. (Prior to that, the
CJ5 used the 4-134, 4-151, and 6-225 (V), never the 230 six.) I believe
that the 715 predates the 258 six. Last year of production was what,
1969, right?
