my newest creation 5.3.in a what?????? well i gt bored w/ the old tried and trued 350 tbi motor. which i feel was the biggest step in the fuel injection world to this day. unbelievable reliability!
but it must come when all kings step down. enter the ls based motor
. the new king....which i am no stranger to. i originally had this for sale to build me a full out competition rig. but since i started the transformation.......i figured i might keep it and build me another rig.......... herre are few pics.
it is a full custom frame. only 23 inches between frame rails
but i did find some manifolds to clear......barely
dana 60 front w/ chromolys
14-bolt rear w/ chromolys, shaved bottom
turbo 350
np 205 case
4-link rear
3-link front
stretched wb
mrw beadlocks
39.5 iroks
and alot more
pics below

How did you make them? Did you use a suspension bushing as the isolator? If so what did you use as the outer metal sleeve for around it. or did you find a tubular control arm and that is the end of it?
I was thinking of making some mounts like that for my brothers swap, but I couldn`t figure out what to do for the sleeve that the bushing pushes into because I don`t have a lathe so I can`t make one.

here is a pic of the flat plate. i just used a plasma cutter. (made a copy of another set i bought a while back) and used the ls mounts as a template for the block holes you need to countersink 2 of them. and used some sbc mount for templates for the frame mounts. i threaded those holes.
also if you are replacing a sbc. you need to remember that the ls motors are 1inch shorter. so you need to drill the holes 1 inch closer to the front of the block. that way it will move the motor back

That thing is sweet. I plan on on stretching the TJ and building up a set of 60's. How do you like the Iroks? Can't decide between them and rocker's.
What are your plans for the tbi?

Badass rig you've built.
I have a buddy who's using the tbi motor in his bulit YJ. He's having some issues with the injectors/fuel pressure regulator. Would you sell the TB separately, or want to keep it with sale of motor?
