just a ride along while I do a 0-60 test. (There is a lot of talking skip to 3:15 if you just want to see the 0-60, I understand I'd do the same thing)
oh thanks man Florida has slowed how much i want to dump money into it just because of the lack of offroading I can do. When i get the chance ill do one tons next.
K T Jeep yeah buddy, the Tons were a literal ton of work but now that it’s been done for almost a year I’m glad I did it. There’s a couple things I want to change but I’m pretty happy with it.
Wow, from the video your V8 Wrangler seems exactly like mine! I’m running a 360 with a NV4500 trans, front/rear lockers and 8.8 Ford in back. My NV4500 shifts really slow, so yours seems a little smother, but I do I have that insane low granny gear. Love to see more video’s! I also get right at 11.5-12 MPG with 4.11 gears and 35's, but I think it can do better. Still working out the kinks in mine. About 4,000 trouble free miles so far.
Planning on doing a similar swap with my TJ in the future using an LA block 318. Just curious how your Dana 30 is holding up to the power? How much off-roading do you do? Don’t want to have to put money into new axles right off if I can just beef up my stock ones for now since the Jeep basically needs a frame off resto as it is.
K T Jeep Two main reasons. 1: I already have the engine and it runs. 2: I can’t stand electronics in my vehicles so a mechanical engine swap is perfect for me. I’ll be able to keep everything as clean and simple as possible, and my state has no engine swap laws. I will be upgrading it to EFI but the kit is self contained. I’ll be retaining most of the interior electrical, the multifunction switches for the lights and wipers and such, and climate controls, but I’ll be able to delete most everything under the hood. Given the reputation of Chrysler electrical, and my own personal experience having owned numerous Mopars, the less sensors and computers the better. Plus anything is an upgrade over the gutless, problematic 2.4.
I understand asking about mpg out of curiosity but not to determine if you want to do this build or not. Go put a Toyota Camry engine in your jeep if mpg is all you think about
Sounds great! I’ve got 97 with the 5.2 and 44RE auto that used to be a 2.5, but mine sounds no where near as nice! How did you route your exhaust and what headers/muffler(s) do you have?
It’s a lot of work for sure. I’m thinking about doing a 5.3 or 6.0 ls swap in the next couple of years tho. Looking for a bit more power and better fuel economy if I go with the 5.3. Also much better transmission options if you’re planning on wheeling lots with big big tires.

You have to remember you have all the aerodynamics of a 5 ton cinderblock.
It sounds great dude! It has to be torque af. I applaud you
If that jeep weighs 5 tons then I’m black
@@jw3812 if you didn't vote for Joe Biden you ain't black LOL!!!!

@@Office_De_Receiver_Complaints is that supposed to be a bad thing?
It only took me 8 months to catch up in my 2.5.
Nice to see the acceleration!
Been considering this swap myself.
Sounds great, thanks for the video.
I’m glad to see it running!

Bella Photographics yeah I forgot to mention I’m running 4.10s as well. And same here some little issues here and there but nothing crazy.
Where did you get engine mounts and such?
Planning on swapping my 5.9 ZJ drivetrain including 60’s and doubler into my TJ.
@@North700 2 years late but they are just plate steel custom fab
Sounds good

Why go with an LA block and its fine but I haven't done much off-roading with it since ive moved to Florida.

Hey, what tires are you running? I have a simmilar setup (5.2+ax15) and I'm getting like 13 seconds for 0-60 with 35 inch tires.
35s but what gears do you have because I have 4.10s
@@ktjeep8690 mine are 4.56... Still I have the impression that it used to be faster...
Thats is an awesome jeep what did it cost u to swap that engine?
roughly 6k but that cost can get cut for sure I ran into a few problems.
@@ktjeep8690 thank you. Do you kno you can buy a coyote crate motor from Walmart now LOL true story you really can!

What percent tint is on your front windows?
I actually have no clue it was on the jeep when I got it.
Sounds great!

I can make a video so you can clearly see where it is. But for now i can say its in the factory location basicly.
i want to swap mine soooo bad, i have a 97 and a 2005. Just seems like such a huge project

doing the same to my jeep, what did you do about the ECU??
its an ecu from a 1998 ram 1500 with a manual
@@ktjeep8690 thanks 👍🏾
You mean its like 3 gallon difference!?!? Whaaaat
5.2 is 220hp 300tq at the flywheel.
How much do u cruise on the highway???
like RPM or what specifically are you asking?
I’m looking to 360 swap my Jeep Wrangler. What’s the hardest part?
I paid to have it done but if you are doing most of it yourself its probably figuring out the new engine harness.
What tranny do you have? Adapters?
nv3550 and you can use a Dakota bellhousing off a manual v6 3.9
How much was the cost
roughly 7k parts+labor
I have the same swap only with a 5.7L
How did you do the swap
What’s the gas mileage on the tj with the v8
around 11.5 mpg with 35s and 4.10 gears
Alright thanks gonna do the v8 swap aswell
going back i think id rather do the OM617 or 4bt if i had the money for the 4bt
@@ktjeep8690 A TDI is always an option as well. I’m swapping my tj w/ one going for 180/300/32 hp/tq/mpg
