5.3 test fit Jeep YJ

sliding in my junk 5.3 motor to weld up the motor mounts, using daves customs unlimited ls swap mounts. They were super easy to set up and very good quality.

I thought you needed to have the headers on to see if it hits, or maybe that's just the CJs.

Have you finished it yet? I'm installing a SM465 / 300 and wondered what you though of yours. Thanks for sharing

GDT ENGINE yes I’ve been driving around for a while, I did blow out second gear but then had the transmission rebuilt and it drives amazing. I do not drive this on the highway though so if your going to daily this you might want an overdrive transmission. All that being said if I were to take out the trans again i’m going to install a th400 just because this thing is so heavy and is not the easiest to balance on a transmission jack because of its shape

Hey, what exhaust manifolds did you end up using? I've heard of people using C6 or LS3.

[@mufnsgarage8780]

Brandon Armstrong I bought some cheap block huggers that dump in the center, I believe this is how some corvettes are ran but eBay specials for the win. If I had set the motor forward some I could have probably went a different route though
