Subject: Re: Stuffing an LS motor into the Jeep! by Andrew on 2014/4/14 21:02:27 Got the Jeep back this weekend! Wow, does it drive differently. It is "twitchy" to say the least. As light as the sprung weight is on the Jeep, it will cycle trough to 3rd gear before hitting 10 mph while driving slow. The torque just pulls it forward. It will also go 70 nicely. The only bummer under the hood is that the engine cover would not allow the hood to close, so all of the wiring is exposed. There are a few bugs that I have uncovered and will be taking it back to the shop in May to have sorted out. It will be fun breaking it in! They guy who did the work took it out before I could ride or drive it to test it out. He put it in 4 high and mashed the gas. It was a little dark out and all I could see was the headlights jump up in the air and the sound the V8 screaming with the off road tread eating up the ground. It all held together and I don't see anything breaking as I will not drive it nearly that hard, especially in locked 4wd! I will work on getting a short video of it running this evening and a few pictures. The engine is very dirty right now, so no comments about all the dirt!!  |
