| Stuffing an LS motor into the Jeep! |
Subject: Stuffing an LS motor into the Jeep! by Andrew on 2013/12/10 20:37:58 Since I will keep the "new", at least to me, Corvette will remain stock and it is tucked away for the winter, I thought y'all might be interested in the latest project. It is semi-Corvette related as it involves a LS variant motor! The Heep is under the knife and the 4.0 I6 is going to be replaced with a 5.3 "LS" (Vortec) motor. I must confess that I am not doing the work and a shop out of Rogersville, MO is doing the heavy lifting to get the project done. All of the driveline, with the exception of the rear axle, is getting swapped. The motor will be a 5.3, the trans will be a 4L60E, I'm taking the rear half of the Jeep transfer case (NP231J) and mating it to the front half of a Chevy transfer case (NP231CHD), new driveshafts, new D44 front axle (sleeved and gusseted) with air locker and much, much more. If there is interest, I'll post pictures as the project progresses. Here is what the motor will look like (less the FAST intake) |
