It was good to see Colin and Janell. Y'all make a great team. I love seeing younger folks fixing older stuff and making it their own. Like Lizzy on your dad's channel, I absolutely love seeing Janell getting in there and getting dirty. Well done my friend.

I’m old school (70 years young). Rudy good to see you doing it on your own, so many want to ride on the coat tails of their dad. Family is great, but when you do it on your own, sing the old song, “I did it my way”. I will watch your channel.

Colin is a good man to come help you with that big task,,,,, good team work....

Rudy get yourself a powered ratchet with locking extensions.

Remember if she does that with you then you need to do something that she loves also that is out of your comfort zone. God Bless you all🙏🙏

Good to see for as young as callen is the enthusiasm he shows is awesome

Take it from a 56 year old mechanic your doing great job and video stay safe from GA, you should always start working from the bottom up when taking a engine out it's easier on your back

If it were mine, I would start by figuring out why the old engine died and make that bulletproof on the new engine. My guess is oil starvation during steep hill climbs so you might want to modify the oil pan and pickup or go dry sump. You should probably upgrade the cooling system too. Before adding tons of power, I would consider a doubler.

Really enjoyed watching the brothers working and learning together. Awesome! And way to go Janelle!!! Disconnecting all those electrical connections had to be tricky, tedious and dirty work. Great job. 👍👏👏👏

Thanks Colin. That was nice of you to help out. Those were some of Jeep's best motors, IMHO, so it will be interesting to see what you do with it Rudy. But be careful, tis a slippery slope you are walking on. Once you get started buying 'specialty tools', There is never an end to it. That's because dang engineers keep designing new hardware to make mechanics buy new tools. Then you need new boxes to hold them, then a bigger shop to put them in. It never ends. But I see my words are wasted, I spoke too late. I see the gleam in your eyes when you picked up the new 'SHINEY'! So enjoy!

Great job guys...!!!! It's still kinda weird to me to not see you at your dad's shop...!!!! But as a young man you've made the right decision...!!! Keep up the great work and keep them videos coming..!!!!

Hey Rudy, Good to see another episode. Also good to see Janelle wrenching by your side. Make the engine Uber reliable, add some trusted bolt on HP, increase the cooling capacity......oil cooler??? Beef up the electrical system for both the winch and perhaps and on board welder down the line. Headers are always nice but generate a lot of heat. Just my 2 cents.

Great show Rudy and crew! Janelle you rock,not afraid to get in there and turn a wrench!! Kudos. Otis,same to you buddy! Nice to see your helpers, it’s always great to have good help! Thank you all for sharing . Hope your engine swap works out. Please stay safe and keep the videos coming!! Jim

I AGREE !

Fix the motor for reliability, save it - you ( or your circle of friends) will always need a keep motor - save the money for other mods. You having an extra jeep motor will keep your project going and you might be able to swap it for something interesting you didn’t even know you wanted.

Always a fun project when the family works together. Good job Rudy and family!

Already at 147k subs. Great job Rudy and Danelle. Thanks so much for sharing.

Janelle & you make a great team.

I hate that jeep used the 2 goofy bolts in the bell housing, every time I've pulled a motor, those bolts went in the trash 🤣 you should put the stroker kit in that 4.0 and turbo it.

I am super excited to see what you choose to do with the old engine! My vote is a big stroker kit! I have followed the Rudicon from its infancy, it evolution has been fantastic! You are doing a great job, and I can't wait to see it when it's all done!

That looks like a nice shop. Keep up the good work Rudy ! 👍🏻

Either rebuild and stroke the existing motor like you did with the Banana, or maybe a motor with a couple more cylinders...something with the power to turn those great big tires!

Cool to see Colin working with you, my favorite part of an engine swap is when I'm done & it runs, great video ya'll God bless ❤😉👍

If you put together about a 4 to 5 foot extension with a couple wobbly extensions and a wobbly socket on the end you can get those top 2 Bolts Way back behind the transfer case you can run them up there and get them took me a while to figure that one out have fun

That's why I keep saying just LS swap it and if you're in California like me and are having a missions issues with putting a Chevy engine in a jeep you can just always drop a 5.2 318 cubic inch or a 5.9 360 because they did come with that option from the factory so legally you can swap it you just have to make it smog compliant for the year engine that you set in the vehicle. That way you get the power of the stroker without all the machine work and thinning out the motor cylinder walls and all that b******* and trying to turbo charge it it was never meant to be a turbo block so now you're adding cylinder bore pressure and reducing the thickness of the cylinder walls while adding a stronger head gasket to prevent blowout in case of high pressure. That's how come I think engine manufacturing from the manufacturers has always been a double-edged sword they don't give a s*** about the consumer they really just want to save money so to save that $0.50 on the production line they'll make thin ass cylinder walls or as like the Chevy 5.3 and a 6.0 or the good old tried and true 5.7 350 small block there's always enough room to board up to 60 over no problem.

It's nice to see brothers working together

We need more shows on what you are doing in the shop. You always have great ideas on how to weld thanks.

Good video Rudy, like how you explain things as you do them. Hoping the engine works well for you while your rebuilding the other one.

Keep it simple on the engine rebuild. In my experience, more complicated meant more stuff to malfunction when wheeling. Upgrade with newer factory Jeep stuff so you can easily get parts when things break. I'm not saying I wouldn't be happy watching you put a supercharger on a built engine, but you'd have to build the transmission and everything else down the line to handle the torque.

Good to see you getting your own group of helpers.

re: Engine build: Well, if you didn't have those huge shock mount hoops in the way, I'd suggest turning it into a 392 HEMI crate engine. But as is, bore it .60 over, dome top pistons, forged rods, balanced & polished crank, high lift roller cam w/roller lifters... around 250-270⁰ duration for bottom end torque, & a hairdryer. Most likely 70mm @8-10# of boost. That 4.0 should hit 275-300hp & 3-400 ft/lbs torque.

Good job, you all work well together including Otis. I would clean up the engine a little and see if anything else needs to be done first. I think your new camera guy/help added to the video. When you build you engine I would go for more torque and bullet proof for the trails. Making a lot more horsepower like a race motor opens you up for things to break. I would a couple more things like a welder and air compressor.

The I6’s are pretty torquey as it is, with proper gearing, they’ll turn 1 tons and big tires without breaking a sweat. May not go very fast, but who needs to go fast in a brick anyway… I run high pinion 44’s with 37’s on my XJ with the stock engine and 4.88 gearing, I can do 80 on the freeway at about 2200-2300rpm, and still have a lot of torque leftover for when I get my foot into it when merging or dealing with the asshole CA drivers, but I can also crawl over just about anything when I’m locked. Rudy just needs to find the optimal gear ratio for his setup and go from there.

Anyone else feel like this won't be the last motor swap we will see on 1/2 done this year? Lol Good vid!

Thanks for showing all the challenges and oversights in the process. Much more realistic than some KZread channels that edit out all those things we all deal with while taking on a project like that.

I would wait and run what engine you got; then grab Matt's 4.6, when he gets done with it... Even if it needs rebuilt by then, alot cheaper and easier to rebuild a 4.6, than build a 4.6. If what you got is not gonna last and you wanna build an engine, stock rebuild + forged pistons with extra ring gap, stronger connecting rods and a small intercooled ebay turbo. Fast spool up and lower boost pressures will make for reliable instant power to tug with. Reliability + torque, makes a nice low rpm working engine; not high rpm racing engine. Drive nice down the highway; couple pounds of boost gives decent fuel mileage and plenty of power for hills with large tires.

@paulmartin8212

Yep that would work way better than a supercharger. Low end torque with small turbo for fast spool up.

The I6 is a great motor for this job. I'd refresh the head, make sure the rings and bearings are good, bolt on a quality header and call it good for the next 300,000 miles.

I rebuilt the engine in my motorhome 22 years ago still going strong 1948 Ford flathead 6 f6 two and a half ton truck made an RV out of it 30 years ago still running strong

There a pain pulling those engines out of those Jeeps...Though they are a Beast when running right...Great Video Rudy...

What to do with the old engine: Personally I wouldn't put the money into building it. I'd TDI swap the Jeep rather than build the 4.0. But if you REALLY want to build the Jeep engine, stroke it, and turbo.

Good job pulling those motors, let's hope they go back in nicely too. Whatever you do when rebuilding that motor, strive for reliability as you get into some awfully wild and far away places. That mini-bike needs some love too and would be a fun toy.

Two things to note. No job is really underway without hard objects on which to hit your head. And you haven't learned enough from your Dad. The hammer you used wasn't a claw hammer! Always important to have the right tool for the job! I really enjoy your style of videoing! Great sight gags.
