Adapt my Wrangler transmission to a small block 350?

Btw here’s the twins

 

That’s what I would use. The 5.3 is a great motor and is real easy to swap with.

 

Those are two good looking Jeeps

 

Twin brothers....from different Mothers.

I see ya finally de-cancerized your front bumper dude. Looks really nice.

 

Thanks bob! You got me insecure about it lol

 

Any time dude. Happy i could help. Lolll.
See....But it worked didn't it. Your rig looks sweet.

 

Thanks @JKBob 25 I’ll show you more of the rust so you can make me do it lol

 

Is this an exercise in mental "masturbation " lets use a vette engine, a 2.8 diesel,a mini van, a ford PU, a 5.3
Or serious search for info and ideas?

offgrid is the only helpful post....#13 serious issue about swaps

Must be the hang over - resident curmudgeon
getting old

 

Just throwing out ideas..... if I can’t fix my issue with my but I think I can fix it so there on hold for now..

 

lets work this professionally. At least an attempt -
How many miles on eng?
What is the consumption - one quart in Xmiles? A crap load
What oil are you using?
Do you or have you had any codes? ANYTHING post them.
Any aftermarket BS?

 

GM engine swap info, but it uses the GM transmission: http://www.rpmextreme.com/page/4/jeep-jk-ls-engine-swaps.aspx

But you can adapt a GM trans to a Jeep tcase.
Would need both computers and a wiring harness.

This Hemi swap kit is much cheaper (relative to the LS kit I linked above) but you would have to account for the cost of the engine. The best I can tell it uses the stock Jeep transmission, which is a plus.

Holy crap. maybe trying to fix my crapy 3.8 isn’t a bad idea lol changed the pcv valve and it helped a little only burn about a half qt every 6-700 miles

 

"exercise in mental "masturbation" aside....... now we're getting somewhere.

 

Lol. Yea now just to find the next step

 

Any other leaky or wet oil areas. Perhaps grab that vette engine, sell it to someone that can use it and pick up another minivan 3.8 cough cough

 

I honestly hate this 3.8 tho lol but good idea and no haven’t seen any other wet spots just a small spot on side of oilpan but it looks so old that idk if it would have been leaking that bad.

 

I mean this might be a Stupid question. Anyways should I give my jeep to my buddy for the weekend and see if he can figure out exact what’s wrong with it? Only car btw

 

@Awrench has a unique style but good tips and questions....perhaps some answers to his questions (#30) can point you to the issue.

 

Sorry didn’t see this from you @Awrench.

86,920 as of this very moment.
Did burn a qt every 1k now after I replaced the pcv valve it burns about a half qt I’m 6-700 miles.
Gtx full Synthetic 5w-20
And as for codes just the misfire but it went away. No aftermarket bs on engine

 

Thanks didn’t see it
