1981 it wouldn't be a wrangler. It would be a CJ5 or CJ7 or CJ8. The way to tell them apart is the CJ5 has a more rounded door opening where the CJ7 had a bigger more square door opening. The CJ8 had a longer bed almost looking like part Jeep part pickup truck. The inline six would be a 232 cu in. or 258 cu in made by American Motors.
I can't really tell the difference between the 232 and the 258 engine. I bought a 1975 CJ5 that had the 232 in it and I had a problem with low oil pressure so I replaced the engine with a 258. The problem with the oil pressure seem to be with the oil rather than the engine. I was running straight 30W oil in it and when I changed to multi-weight oil the problem went away. Other than that I've had no problems with the engine.
