double post

 

i have my trans troubles all wored out and it is runnnig great i see a cam change shift kit and i want to redo my exhoust and air intake then i will take it to texas speed for a dyno tune ;}

 

How easy was the wiring harness to install. Any additional wiring needed?

 

Nice build! Go mudding in it now.

 

lol thanks mud naw i prefer to crawl over stuff instead or beat unsuspecting cars on the street

 

i have hp tuners on the way lets see what else i can learn

 

Let me know if you need any help with the tuning. I know a little about HPt myself

I just got back from a three day trip to Rausch Creek and rock crawling the Jeep. It did awesome on all the black trails. The V8 swap draws a lot of attention

Good luck and hit me up if you need any tuning or trans help.

 

How was the harness? Is it pretty good quality and any problems with it?

 

i am happy with the howell harneses if i had any problems they were there to help
about to start on another swap going to build our own harness and see how that goes

 

I'm really impressed with how well you fit the motor! Most guys notch out thte frame to clear the compressor. I'm wondering if yours is set higher than most. Do you have a body lift? How much room to the motor when the hood is closed? Did you have any front drive shaft clearance problems?
Sorry for all the questions!
Thanks!

 

it has a one inch body lift
the motor is close to the hood i dont think i could get the cover on that came on top of the intake
i have no front drive shaft problems
i put it as high as i could so i could do a flat skid plate and hope to keep the oil pan off any rocks

 

What rear axle are you running?

 

daniel, can you post pics of your longtube headers, i just cant get over the fact that they fit... what are the longtubes off of?

 

Is the motor offset to one side or centered?

 

I have the stock manifolds on right now just so I can smog it, but will post pics as soon as I can. They are just stainless headers off ebay. I still haven't figured out how to use my front driveline with them though .

 

i have an 8.8ford in the rear

i have played with the hp tuners on it some WOW what a difference
