if you get the engine really close to the firewall im pretty sure any long tubess will fit

 

without interfering with the front driveshaft? that was my main concern...


what did you do about fuel lines...?

 

danielgoforth(original poster) has long tubes on his, he told me what brand a while back but i already forgot since i knew they wouldnt fit with how mine engine is set up

fuel lines, this is under the sticky "swap faqs"

http://matt.undiagnosed.org/ls1/fuel.html

basicly shows you how to set it up and what you need to buy

 

i would like to use longtubes on mine anyone know which will work for shure

 

I dont have the pics yet, but I just had some built for my LS/TJ swap.

 

what did they cost

Yours looks killer, nicely done.

 

Are you asking about my headers?

 

Figured I could give this an update. After throwing a rod in the first motor and grenading the rear axle with the second, Its finally running decent. I finally got around to taking a couple videos. The quality is pretty bad, but for not even being a video camera it came out alright. I put the stock exhaust manifolds back on along with cats, so I probably lost a bit of horsepower. I also have 3.73's in the rear that came with the 8.8, but I'm looking to swap 4.56's back in to match my front . I would rather be able to do wheelies then pull hard on the top end. I was going over 90 in the last video which is always a bit frightening in a jeep. Overall I'm still impressed with the performance. Oh, and yes I do have an exhaust leak in case you are wondering.







Could use a little more cleanup:


Gauges:

 

very nice...I'm jealous.....

What model gauges are those? Also, maybe I missed it somewhere, but are you running an auto trans? If so, is it the stock stall speed?

 

Autometer street rod series, arctic white. Stock 4L60E. While I would like a stall for driving on the street, I'm afraid it would come back to haunt me offroad.

 

Nice jeep I was thinking of swapping and LS engine in to my wife's jeep later on down the road.

 

ive been researching this swap for a while and im still a couple years away from actually doing it, but has anyone kept a manual trans behind a V8 in their TJ? i cant find info on anyone actually trying it.

 

Badass man

 

what throttle cable are you using??

 

The Jeep one.

 

Almost decided to keep the 3550 behind it, but for crawling, I figured the auto would be less work while on the rocks. For that it's great, but I really miss the manual at times.. I think when the auto dies, I'll switch in a 465..

 

Awesome build. For custom suspension and axles go with www.polyperformance.com in SLO. One of the BEST 4x4 shops in the country. He sells Currie, Dynatrac, Solid Axle, etc.

Drew is the best fabricator I've seen.

 

the 3550 works really great--- i ran mine for nearly a year 'til i decided to use the 4l60e.
i have a nearly new 3550 trans,clutch, p.p. flywheel, and belhousing if you are interested.-----mase
