J79 as a replacement for the J57 is reasonable, the thrust is the same and the overall engine envelope is a bit less.  That would make sense in a lot of ways.  *grin* That the chief engineer behind the J79 was an Americanized German (by way of the AVG, no less) would not have hurt.  Using the J75 would've required the larger airframe of the F8U-3 since the J75 was essentially an enlarged J57.
