Once you LS swap it you can really haul ass up that hill to sit at that light!! Good job on the swap though. I pulled the body on my JK tp put my 6.2 in. It runs a little better now.
Ok. I’m excited to see the wiring. Great job !
Dude you are a straight up badass for doing this.
I love all the ideology there!
Pure genius😊
I've always wanted to get a Porsche with an LS engine in it and a Jeep with an LS engine in it....lol
Sweet vid!
Synthetic Oil Protection thanks! LS Jeeps are awesome so I’d imagine the same is true with Porsche

Looking forward to this series. Im gonna swap a Lq4 or Lq9 in my 99 so thanks for this
Bradford Gaines no worries, that’s kind of why my dad and I decided to do this. There is just no good “one stop” place for all the information needed. We have a lot more footage and are currently working on the next video 👍🏼
Next video uploading now!
Watched All Video from start to finish, great Job, thanks for sharing.. :)
Hyper Joe thanks! Be sure to subscribe I will be posting a new video soon
Already Subbed.. Enjoyed the Conversion, I have an 07' JK be doing the same when this motor gets tired.. really liked how You explained everything in Detail..thanks for the extra effort! :)
4.11 with 35's? Makes sense why it struggles uphill
Mitchell L. My TJ has 4.56 and 35s and it’s better but still not great. We geared it at 4.11 knowing more power would be coming later.
@@Joester1908 I have a 2.4 cylinder, I'm thinking about re-gearing do you think a 4:56 would be a good fit for 33's? I still want to run on the interstate at 75-80 mpg. Thanks
@@Joester1908 2005 2.4 cyl factory gear is 3.73 I thought about the 4:88 but looking at some gear charts it says I would be running 3000-3200 rpm's at 70 mph which isn't bad but 75-80 for a prolonged period of time would be pushing higher rpm's on the interstate so I thought maybe the 4.56 would be a better happy medium idk...?
Thanks for your help.
@@Joester1908 I had 4.88s with 33s and that was not to bad.
@bill2526 bill2526 what size tire ? Im looking do same
This guy is a master mechanic!
Juno Wilson thank you.
Great video guys
Thank you
Man I would've re geared to 5.13 or at the very least 4.88 before swapping.
What transmission adapter did you use?
Cool ride man. I’m currently building a cj8 on my channel with a ls motor
But also badass
Where did you get the gauges from? i like that look better than stock.
im jealous
With the power your getting out of the motor, you will probably blow up the factory transmission OR transfer case.
i really want to hear the exact engine, trans, bellhousing, t case, wire harness and everything you need to make this work cuz i want to do the same kind of swap. Thanks
Any chance you have a link to the adapter kit? Thinking about doing a 4.8 swap in a YJ
Did you have to lengthen your axle? Or shorten one,
Following!!!
My same tj with 4.56 gears drove like stock. 75 80 up grades. Bet you have 3.73 gears
destro513 my TJ has 4.56 and 35s. This one has 4.11 we installed that gear so yes it definitely has 4.11
@@Joester1908 now that I am thinking about it my 94 yj has 33s and I'm guessing 3.73s and it has some incline grade vs power and gearing issues. So just that little difference does kill your 2nd to 3rd and 5th on a grade performance.
Hi I’ve been watching your videos. I noticed what seemed to be a local wrecking yard is that in Auburn? If so I am local to you in Puyallup and would love to check out your Jeep in person!!
J R Avalos yes that is in auburn. My dad took his Jeep to California with him, but I still live in western WA. I live up north about an hour.
Let's see where this goes
when are you going to do another video on the swap?
Ricardo Ruiz hi, thanks for the interest. I have the next video made, with the exception of the last few minutes. Any day now! 😁
Next video uploading now!
Honestly, looks like your cat converter had failed and clogged your exhaust system up. That 4.0L shouldn't struggle the way it did
Sure it would struggle with 4.11 gears.
hi, could i ask what was the cost of all the adapters? thanks in advance, nice build!
Orlando Perez , the Advanced Adaptor kit was $2500. The surprise cost was all the small misc parts I had to get from the hardware store. I have about $6000 in it.
A set of 4.56:1 gears would have increased power.
Keith Alan while 4.56 gears would have returned the ratio closer to stock, we knew we wanted to put a v8 in this Jeep and decided on 4.11 gears
Would your speedometer be off because of the increase in tire size?
cavedweller26 yes, absolutely. However, we changed out the speedometer gear
Is this emissions compliant?
Mark Arnold no it isn’t. We disabled some emission features. We can make it emission compliant and may have to at some point.
How is the gas mileage with the v8 swap
Jesse Ramos not very good. Under 10mpg right now.
Joester1908 10!?!? I’m hoping thats city mpg and or wheeling mpg, could it get 10 mpg from lift height and tires?
you should have just put 4.56 or 4.88 and you would have been golden
Braud Sword let me be clear, the reason for swapping the V8 in my dads Jeep was not just because it was a little under powered. He wanted a V8. My TJ is 4.0/4.56/35s and it does ok but it still doesn’t have power. I can do 75 mph but it’s nothing like my dads Jeep
Do you still have the transmission an transfer case by chance
The AX15 an np231
Whats going to happen to me when I do this swap, and have a ton of money already invested in a Ford 8.8 conversion with 4.88 gears. Im running 35s. I would be doing the AX15 as well.
chevrock22 it’s just money you can always make more! 4.88 might be a bit low
What switch panel do you use?
Fear Plays custom made from switch brackets on Amazon
Is it manual and how much did this cost?
Yes AX15 manual trans. Check out the rest of the series, lots of great stuff and more was filmed just last week!
What is the kit part number for the adapter kit for trans and motor
Dustin Boles, I don’t recall the number for the Advance Adaptor part number. I searched on the website for the kit. It was about $2500
Bill Keith you paid 2500?
Dustin Boles I looked it up and it is $2156 on advance adaptor website and I think there was tax or shipping
1 CP-TJ0XB : Jeep TJ Wrangler 1997 -2004 ,Chevy LS Gen III/IV Engines Conversion Package
Bill Keith what came with it
Truck lite led headlights? But dont those have that weird v or shadows?
Rick James it has the V but very crisp light. Very happy with them
Sad seeing a Chevy motor in a Mopar Jeep
ILL STICK WITH 4.6 TURBO STROKER ..........
Good for you 👍🏼
What size lift is on there
Drew D 4” suspension in this video. We ended up adding a 1” body lift later
Uh umm uh umm uuhhh umm....
