1993 Jeep Wrangler How hard would you suspect it be to place an ls1 inside? Its motor has around 150K and we are most likely going to have it rebuilt. I just thought I would throw in the option of having another LS1 in the driveway.

Advanced adapters has the mounts for the motor but I am not sure about the tranny. You might have to run a turbo 350. I would like to see if the LS1 is lighter than the 4.0 jeep motor. That Iron block, head, and intake does whight some. What I would do is throw the LS1 in their and trade intakes and computer with a 6liter truck guy. That way you can get some mor low end torque.

Re: 1993 Jeep Wrangler I'm working on putting a 5.3L in my 2001 Wrangler. Going to do a 4L60E.. not sure on transfercase yet. Advance Adapters has LS1 mounts for Jeeps, but I'll probably make my own. I'm gathering parts currently, hoping to do it in fall or spring. AA also has all sorts of driveline adapters, thought they are pricey as well.
I have some pictures of a 2000 (not sure, it's a TJ though) with an LS1 and the stock 5 speed from the Jeep. He loves the acceleration (did it for the sleeper/racing reason) and gets 22-24mpg.
My Jeep is going to be daily driver/offroad fun truck..so racing isn't the idea. I have a 3" susp lift/1" body lift with 33's currently, just want more pep to it, with an automatic.
FWIW, I've read several places that the 4.0 I6 is heavier than an L98 (the old popular swap). The inline 6 from Jeep is a big heavy motor, so going to an iron block 8 with aluminum heads has to be either lighter or about the same. Going to an LS1 would definitely cut weight.

Re: 1993 Jeep Wrangler about a year ago, somebody bought a 01 Z28, and pulled the motor out of it, to put in a Wrangler.
Then the car was sold on ebay. motorless.
I did see the jeep pics with the LS1 inside, sweet idea <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
