Butter Jeep Engine Swap episode 1

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2024
- My 1994 Jeep wrangler (aka: Butter Jeep) needs an engine!! Well over a year ago I locked up the 4.0 liter inline six and it’s been parked ever since. On this episode of the Dirthead Shed it’s time to drag it back in the shop and yank out the old junk motor and I’ll show you how I’m going about a Junkyard LS swap .

It's finally back!
Back again!
Can't wait to see you guys collaborate. Awesome Friday!
@@thedirtheadshedI'll tell a friend!
Butters back tell a friend..
... and very close to being mid-engined even!
“A lot of times just welding the nut on there is enough to scare the bolt into coming out of there.” That’s been my experience as well : at that point, I’m not asking nicely. I am stating that eviction papers have been served and it’s only gonna get uglier.
Love Dave’s deadpan delivery -and clear, simple explanations. Sure wish yt had been around when I was learning to wrench! Subscribed, liked, and I’m going to watch all the backlog-plus spread the word any chance I get. 👍
Always cool to watch the real life guys work on their projects
This thing is kind of a mess. Let’s fix that
I am truly amazed at how much you can get done all by yourself. I am no mechanic, but i love watching automotive stuff like this. I wouldn't know where to begin. It takes me a full day to switch a plug in my mower! Love all your stuff, Dave! I have been a fan since glitter helmets and denim vests!
I-Can't-Believe-It's-Not Butter Jeep!
Haha. I’m gonna have to break the vest out again
New to your channel found out about you while you were installing 4 link suspension rear end in Dericks VGG 35 Ford
I'll never forget this jeep It sat parked for years just up the road from my house. I would drive by it everyday and think to myself ''poor YJ"
It was so ugly!
Doing this single handed and filming at the same time is a huge job.
Really appreciate the efforts.
“See, we’re already getting to use my cool 4x4 stuff! This will be fun!”
Poor Dave is trying to reverse psychology himself 😂
I spend a lot of time alone
@@thedirtheadshedbetter spending time alone then being surrounded by the wrong kind of people 👍
@@thedirtheadshedThere’s a few thousand of us that are there with you in spirit buddy.
I can hear the ducks crying. Great vid. VGG brought me here.
Those darn ducks.. I don’t understand that trend
Same here VGG introduced me to this channel. Like the real
"Enough to scare the bolt into coming out" LOL!!!😂
Just enough
There's something special about these square eyed jeeps. Love my yj
I agree, they are a great platform
I was sad when I found out DED wasn’t getting another season but so much happier that you and Fred are still putting out these videos 🤙🏼
Thanks for the continued support
What I love about this channel and Dave it is still authentic and a bit raw not overproduced no added staged drama
I just did this swap 5.3ls and AX15 with a Quickdraw into a 2008 JKU. I used Ebay motor mounts that bolted to the engine
and dropped right in. Everything lined up and I was able to use the old transmission crossmember. I did have mod the trans mount but not much. I'm just working on finish the wiring. It's running just want make the wiring look better.
Thank for this swap video and all your hard work.
That’s gonna be awesome
One of the great parts of watching videos like this is learning that there is an LS to AX15 bell housing! I'm sure my wife is going to ban me from these videos soon... to many ideas! Thanks, Dave!
That QuickDraw brand housing is super nice
It's good to see a TH-cam channel that is reading and interacting with people who watch there channel. Awesome person and content
Motortrend seems officially dead even on Discovery now and here's Dave still building sweet rigs to go off-roading, you spoil us
Trying to keep the fire alive!
Awesome to see Holly on board and awesome to see the butter jeep back!
I’m stoked on it!
This quickly became my favorite channel to watch! Keep it up Dave! Your crushing it
Thanks so much. Tell your friends!
More HP more torque and less weight, winning all round. Can't wait to see it driving again.
Yep yep! Now I just have to get it running
Procrastinators unite!, tomorrow....😂. Square headlight jeeps are my favorite. Can't wait for the next trooper episode though!
Hahaha
We need a shop tour, inside and out, in all its glory.
"I found one of my favorite sweatshirts" Ha ha ha... we've all done that 100's of times! Awesome!!
I love your "palm pilot" notes hahahah pressure washer wand and hose and barrel pump lol
I still never got that barrel pump…
Dang! Putting a 1/4 ton of trust in the throttle cable bracket! 😆
Yeah… strong like ox
Can’t believe the stuff you get done by yourself! Hats off
thanks for the grinder tip at 27:00. I'll have to keep that in my back pocket
No sweat!
Check out the flap disks that the sanding material wraps around the both sides. Expensive but worth having a few on the shelf @@thedirtheadshed
Great minds think alike. 😂I used my Jeeps winch to get my 74 Blazer into the shop when we moved to our new place.
Hauling junk around… it’s what we do
I did a 4.8 in my 87 yj, ax 15 Holley terminator x , from start to finish took me 6 months, it was quite easy and so worth it👍
I can’t wait to drive it
Looking good 👍 I can't wait to see butters back in action
Holy crap!!! Ya’ll are working on some military grade tinnitus with those toys!!!! 😂
When the universe aligns! Perfect episode haha.
Thanks! I’m just glad it’s back in the shop
Love the yj! Stoked for this build. Yjs are elite
Great amount of work done! Good job.
I watch and rewatch your videos so often I forgot you haven’t worked on it in that long, awesome!
J10 bed for sure 100% flat beds are cool, but that’s been done before.
We all know Nate you can make this work with the bed. Let’s go!!
I think you’re commenting on Dirt Lifestyles video
Great job! Can't wait for the next video!
I’ve been looking forward to this series!! Yay butter jeep!!
Cool build! Glad to see it getting some love!
I've missed this Jeep. Stoked to see the progress!
I’m so glad to see you’re doing a v8 swap! Butter Jeep was rad before and now more so.
Looking good great start
really liked this one. ready for part 2!
cool grinder trick, they make a extended flat head grinder expensive but sweet.
I’ve seen em. Pretty cool
Very cool to see it back in the shop, and getting an LS!
this brought memories of my old jeep shop! always enjoy watching you work on older jeeps
Thanks! They are cool rigs
So good 👍🏻👍🏻. I’m happy you are biking again but I’m really excited you are back In the shop 🎉
Thats a bunch of work for a one man operation thanks for showing us it can be done
Miss workin on my old junk. Keep the content coming!
What a neat build, I'm loving it 😍.
It's a good thing to have the motor as far back as possible 👍
It’s way back there
@@thedirtheadshedit will jump good 😊
Nice job, Dave!
Dave, your checkerboard keds shoes bring back a lot of memories!! Haven't seen a pair of those in a minute, lol
Good stuff Dave :) Looking forward to more Dirthead Shed!
Yes! I have been waiting patiently for this episode. Butter jeep is one of my favorites.
Awesome. I like it
Came over from VGG what a great find!
This series is going to help me a lot. I plan on doing the same swap when my 4.0 gives up.
Good work, Dave
finally got to finish seeing the complete video, ya having power at your fingertips very nice
Stoked to see the LS going in finally… you’re going to love the power, the Holley terminator is the secret sauce on any LS swap! I happen to know a guy that runs that set up 😂
Solo engine install Yoga. "The forward facing V8!" Very cool Dave. Thanks
Im excited for the Jeep again! Love the LS platform in everything I have put it in. They just work. It'll slide in like butter!
Congratulations on 100k ! Love the content. Your brain is just geared for off road (and on road ) fabrication. Wish I had the skills you do
You guys did a great job 👏 on vicegrip grage ❤
Great choice! Hope to see a comparison video
Man you get a lot of work done Dave. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I have a chicken named Butter that died today. And you are resurrecting Butter 🧈 Jeep. Love it. Great video as always. Thank you
Sorry to hear about your chicken
Dave, it's about time.. I've been waiting on this build...
More to come
That Jeep has so many cool parts, I’m sure it will go great with LS power
It should be a hoot
Love that jeep! My dad bout a brand new one in ‘88 and I grew up always wanting one 👌🤘🇨🇦
Better scoop one up!
Found you from VGG. Now another channel to subscribe to. Love jeeps so this is great.
Good video man. Keep it up
Perfect choice Derek! It’s nice to see you reusing that Versailles drivetrain
Dave you made a lot of progress!! It’s really coming together
Nice tip on turning the grinding disk over. Thanks.
Glad you found it useful
luv this ol'sKOOL rig... makes me wanna find an old YJ and start wrenching!
I love this project. I have a YJ with SBC and I love it.
Right on
I really admire your work ethic Dave! Always impressed at your tenacity!
I appreciate that . Got to dig in and solve problems
Very nice to see the Jeep get some 🖤
Man, I wish I lived closer I'd be more than happy to lend a hand. You're working to hard working by yourself. Excited to see butter jeep coming back to life. Jeeps, f250s, hardtail mountain bikes......sounds like my house, although I have a 3rd gen firebird instead of a mustang II. You got good taste my friend! Keep the videos coming!
I'm doing the same build in my YJ. I used the Holley motor mounts and headers all fit great. An 11/4" body lift helps a lot. Wiring the terminator x now.
Love the content. So happy to see you making something happen for us dirtheads
I’m doing my best!
Welcome back
Awesome, saw you on Dereck's 35 build glad you have a channel. Cool missed your humor and tec on dirt every day
It looks like you got some art work done.
Woot! The Butter Jeep is a cool rig. Looking forward to see it revived. No hate on V8 swap… less money, easy to find parts, more torque and HP. Love the Shed.
Going to be doing an LS swap in my OBS chevy soon. This is the motivation I needed lol.
This is a real cool Jeep & with more power, even better. 😎👌
Truck Norris cam and springs kit for the LS!
Great to see this jeep getting revived. Good luck.
I like the idea of that cam
Such a great platform to work on
This is becoming my favorite channel
Looking buff, Dave!
Dave your uploads have been 🔥
Isuzu with the sweet mudders , Nissan low rider , slammed D50 , insane 4 link set up with VGG and killer mountain bike videos.
Keep them coming . Cheers 🇨🇦
I'll be damned. I just heard your named dropped by Derrick from Vice Grip Garrage. This is Scott the DMV Dude. Reach out brother. Let's reconnect.
nice use of the winch!
I installed an anchor in my shop floor just for this purpose... It gets old pushing an old pile in and out of the garage.
My two favorite off roaders in one video
Grinder trick was awesome!
Glad you liked it!
This should b e a fun series. Reminds me of when we swapped a Chevy V8 for the OG straight 6 in my 72 Yota Landcruiser.
Dude, how did I not know you had a youtube channel? I've got a ton of new videos to watch. Thanks!
Dude you are one of the most intelligent and most creative guys? I've ever known as far as like you know online.
The skills you have It's so impressive
Awesome project and great work Dave, and the fact that your going solo is a BIG plus, alot of work and thinking goes into a swap like this. I once stuffed a Buick 3.8 odd fire with a T350 trans into a 77 custom stretched Toyota PU, turned out way better than I though it would and boy did it rock.
I remember the episodes of you originally building Butter Jeep, I'm looking forward to the next chapter
The original build on dirt everyday was so good
