Jeep JKU 6.4 Engine Swap DIY (First Startup!) (Video 4)

Here is VIDEO FOUR (Holley Sniper intake manifold/prepping engine, priming engine, filling transmission, wiring Camaro fan, installing radiator, and starting the engine for the first time!) of our 6.4 V8 swap and 8hp swap series into Eriks 2008 Jeep Wrangler that is already sitting on tons and 40s. We are using a kit from Jeep Speed Shop and we are completing this in Eriks 2 car garage with basic garage tools.

That first start up smile!! Love seeing that on people doing this swap. Looking forward to hearing how the sniper intake works. Thought about seeing if it is worthwhile on my 5.7L.

[@jku392adventure]

Right! Erik was definitely Soo happy! Me also! And I think the best parts about the sniper is the looks, and then the fact of the air intake location. Other than that I don't think there are any actual gains. Even the hemi tuner doesn't recommend it

[@jku392adventure]

So I don't think it would be worth it unless your just doing it for looks or convenience imo. I love the look and wish I did it on mine though

[@JeepJKU345]

The whole that you tapped on the sniper intake is there a specific spot that Hass to be? And what was the purpose of it?

@@JeepJKU345 here's a video I made specifically on the intake, hope this helps 🤙🤙 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3Sok4CHmZuoiM0

@@jku392adventure one last question I couldn’t find it on the bill of materials through JSS or yours what are the part numbers for the main cap bolts where you gotta move that oil pick up? I’m also doing a 392

Great videos! I can't find the type of pliers you used to create the beed on the lower radiator outlet... You said HF but don't see it online. Would you might to share a link? Again, GREAT videos!! Uber helpful with my build.

Found it!

[@jku392adventure]

Thank you! Much appreciated, and I'm glad you found the plyers!

Out of curiosity , how are your worm clamps holding up on the radiator hoses? Mine were leaking and I replaced them with constant tension bands. But I think next I'll try the heat shrinking clamps. Any thoughts?

[@jku392adventure]

Mine are doing good, I had to tighten them several times within the first hundred miles. But no issues now 🙏🙏🤙🤙
