The people want a test fire!

[@nickschuyler1295]

Yes we do

[@JeepGearGadgets]

I can neither confirm nor deny a test fire has occurred since the making of this video😏

[@JohnDoe-wy2py]

Been a subscriber for a long time, amazing how you have come from rubbing peanut butter on a Jeep to freaking installing a engine. A skill set much greater than mine. It is always a pleasure to watch your (and Ben's) videos. Kudos to both of you guys for never taking shortcuts to get views and subscribers. It will pay off in the long run. Much respect to the both of you.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Rubbing peanut butter is pretty technical though.

[@RATyson]

You guys are freaking awesome. A family that wrenches and wheels together, you can't get much better than that.

[@87944turbo]

If you can't find a correctly shaped hose, you can put a stainless steel spring in the hose and when you bend it, it will keep it's shape. Worked for me on my LS swap. Love the videos!

[@moabwheeling]

Can't wait until the test fire . Good idea on the Hummer shifter , I like it . Your LJ is coming along nicely . Until next time take care and be safe .

[@joshuacripe1514]

Ben has hoses in different area codes.... shifter btw is an H3 shifter (some might be wondering).

A comparison cost of the two Jeeps would be good, I think Cassie's Jeep will stay close to Ben's after they both are done.

I’m sure y’all know but with v band clamps you need to hit torque then smack it with a mallet and torque again till you stabilize the torque

[@49breal]

Awesome project! Wish I could take my GTO 5.7 aluminum LS and throw it in my TJ. Probably take so much weight off the front of it

[@usurbina5863]

Can you please put all the things you need to do an LS swap, I've been doing alot of research but I haven't really found much 😕

[@Glenb13]

Cant wait to see this up and running. If wanting a more factory look, should have just kept the stock TJ shifter. Just need a aftermarket cable to make it work with any gm 4 or 6 speed auto’s. I need to find one of those overflow tanks. Fits pretty good next to the rad.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Aren't the gate patterns different?

[@Glenb13]

@@JeepGearGadgetsNovak is one of the few companies that offer a new bracket and possibly arm. Can check them out to see whats all needed to see if you want to go that route. Many guys on swap sites keep them to have the factory look.

Swap is coming along nicely. Now not to start a fight here as I do watch both your channels, whose the better mechanic 😃

[@jisocentera7628]

Any way you guys could update the Hummer shifter you used ... with pics of how it turned out? Anyway to swap out the shifter knob with a smaller one?? thanks!

[@vincentpoole7588]

JGG. Where's a power steering cooler ? And what about an engine oil warmer ! V.

[@CVPI03]

couple of things, get rid that fan controller and use a relay to control it with the ecm, I would get fittings for the trans cooler instead of worm clamps, lastly those just stick to using OEM header gaskets.

[@scottj.7105]

i guess your HEMI swapped one as lower cost and saving time you have done better than LS swap do you think?

How is the hummer shifter working? Planning my swap and I may do the same shifter.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

I get this comment a lot... for me specifically, I work on the Jeep for a few hours at a time, and every 30-45 min, I have to go inside for something, get the kids a snack, etc. so 1) I am washing my hands pretty often even when working. 2) unless it’s a crazy dirty job, I try to stay clean. With little ones in the house, I don’t want to have small peices of metal stuck to me or my shoes, because they will step on it. Trust me, it’s happened before🤦🏻‍♀️ and don’t want to have fluids on my hands and touching their food or opening drinks or touching toys. The list goes on😂

I love your videos, but I'm curious with all your knowledge on performance why do you drive automatics? You don't get no where near the same driving experience with an automatic, with a manual you become in tune with your jeep.

A lot of off-roading is easier with an automatic. And today's automatics usually out-perform a manual and are more dependable .
