well made some progress on the Jeep and have it headed in a new direction now. First removed the transfer case, need to order the SYE as this is the time to do it.
Then yanked this little bastard out, after cutting the exhaust off.
So I can finally see a big hole where the 5.2L will sit.
Removed the whole wiring harness and a guy at work who use to build circuit boards and does all of our electrical diag said he would blend my two harnesses into one
Some of the parts I have coming for the V8 started to show up.
Will be working on modifying the TB tonight and tomm. Then Monday start the tear down of the V8 as most parts should be here Monday ie:headers, valve covers etc.
Also have decided to remove the entire body from the frame and clean up the rolling chassis like new place the drivetrain in and lower the body on. This way the whole Jeep will be done right the first time and I won't have to endure this again. i just wish I had more time to work on the Jeep because once I get going I don't want to stop but life calls and it's off to something else for a bit.
My daughter is ready to ride with the roof off.
So still a very long list of things to do and buy but feel like I'm on the downhill stretch now for the motor swap. Still have a lot of cleaning and painting to do to the frame, Transfer case, engine etc... and then axles and a long arm kit, tires/wheels man I have a lot to do. Should be done by December...............2012
