Joe, looks good, now I just need a toyota conversion project to add to my ever growing list

[@Engineerd3d]

Man that setup looks slick!

[@95Z28A4]

Thanks for another great video. Beautiful piece of work! Have you had any issues with warpage of the flange after welding?

[@doomsdaydiesel]

No, I've had the same welding fixture for almost 8 years now

[@richardmauch1042]

So have you found this is needed for jeep wranglers?

[@doomsdaydiesel]

On YJ's yes. On TJ's, it is if you don't want to move the transmission.

@@doomsdaydiesel ok so I assume if I where to move my ax15 back I wouldnt need to do this? Any do and don’t with a tj?

[@doomsdaydiesel]

@@richardmauch1042 move the ax15 back and mount the engine high enough, and you can keep the factory 617 pan

@@doomsdaydiesel thanks for responding to my questions. I am currently looking the scrap yards and market place for a donor. Once I start that I’ll be making a bunch of orders through you. Any things to look out for while my search begins for an engine or just the usual?

[@doomsdaydiesel]

@@richardmauch1042 just make sure the crank will rotate (27mm). Not worth pursuing if it's seized

[@KrautSpaceMagic]

I understand the issues that come with low oil pressure but what happens to engine internals when you have too high of oil pressure?

[@doomsdaydiesel]

Blow seals, oil lines, etc

[@KrautSpaceMagic]

@@doomsdaydiesel ah, so theoretically if an entire engine was designed with seals and lines that could handle it, it wouldn't damage any of the rotating mass wear surfaces? Maybe just reduce the service life of the oil
