Man I was just thinking the same thing!!! Love this dudes passion and work.

The track bar support is a aftermarket part, you could space it an inch or two down and there wont be any geometric problems from it. Awesome series look forward to the finish!

Yes the builds are where its at. You always do a great job of explaining your progress on these projects and what problems may possibly arise.

I enjoy the simplicity of this channel. I know LT wants to make it bigger and go further w it but gosh its just so cool.

Love watching the stuff get put together especially in time lapse. You have a great Friday, LT.

I’m about to start with this endeavor myself. ‘89 Cherokee. Was an in-line-6, 4x4, 5-speed. These videos are helping immensely since I’m not a huge knowledge base for LSs in general. So thank you!!

I wish all the xj lift components and swap availability had come out while they were still in production. I love them. Nice work LT, you are flying!

I enjoy this build mostly because it's relatable. LT's building it the way I would have to build a truck and It's very modest.

Finally caught up on watching the uploads after 1 week of working long hours. Keep up the work LT!

I've watched this like 3-4 times, just got a 1998 XJ and my LQ4/4l65e may be going in.

Love the set up

Channels getting big man. Good work and nice job. This xj is a good swap.

Nice clean XJ, my old TJ was so rusty every nut-cert just spun off so we ended up welding a lot of nuts to the frame so that we could fix the trans crossmember and one of the engine mounts after I did the lift.

Yesssss finally some hats

That fits surprisingly better then I expected it. All the ls swaps I’ve watched they’ve cut the unibody to make it fit.

??? These motors don't usually require that . Novak makes motor mounts for the 5.3 and 6.0 that place the engine right in the bay without any cutting on an xj . The hood is usually the clearance issue depending on what stuff you use o. The intake truck or car . I have considere a v8 but I already have an atlas 5.0 that would require a change to a 3.8 or a 4 speed case to make use of the v8 as the 5.0 would redline at about 30 mph just like 4.0 making it useless... The only thing i want the v8 for is hill climbs the 4.0 and atlas are plenty for rock crawling with 42s ... long steep loose climbs ...not so much .

i have a 89 comanche swb. i want to put a newer hemi under the hood. but after watching this... LS looks so much easier......

Honestly I don't know what's more impressive the ls swap single-handedly or the fact that he didn't blink the entire video kudos my friend

That fits in there pretty good. You should buy a cheap HarborFreight winch and mount it to the floor of your shop to pull vehicles in that don’t run.

In your time lapse using your pry bar between the flywheel teeth and transmission dowel while tightening the flywheel bolts was a super slick trick ... I’m glad I caught it I’ll use that from now on .. one of my favorite KZreadrs *stapelton42* has a theory that I love , he says “ he will never use time lapse in his video becuase it teaches nothing and only fills space and nothing said or learned it only for looking cool “ Not throwing any shade ! Have a great day !

Totally sweet build

Can't wait to swap my xj over

This is exactly what I'm wanting to do but I can't seem to find an XJ. This looks great!

I may have mentioned it before, I'm putting an LT1 L83 in my 37 Chev PU. I had the FATMAN MII front end in, but found I had measured from the wrong point. I've got it almost all cut out and some of the frame cleaned up.. New Camber plates and Spring towers will arrive Monday. Burned up my $20 Harbor freight grinder so got a new Dewalt coming as well. I have a Cordless Dewalt, but for extended work the batteries just don't last. I'd love to get the engine in soon to see where I am with the cab.

Looks like a pretty straight forward conversion so far. Gotta love the 100,000 pumps it takes to get a cherry picker up high enough to get an engine in a truck lol.

I have a 5.3 with harness and computer in the garage. I need to start collecting the other parts to swap my xj.

Good stuff!!!!!

You need to check the converter spacing make sure that converter is fully seated in the pump

After watching you push that Jeep in by hand, I have a suggestion for you. I went to harbour freight in but a cheap $60 ATV which that does 2500 pounds. Welded up a couple of brackets and bolted it to my garage floor. I just run it off a spare car battery and use the wireless remote to pull all the vehicles into my shop so I don't have to have a bunch of people help push it up the hill on my driveway to get inside. I think I'm $80 in plus a battery and a couple hours worth of work max. Totally worth it.

LS, the only engine that fits better than the original in just anything you stuff it in. Weights less, makes more power and looks 10x better than the junk that came out.

My 4.0 is almost perfect. I live in Montana. Where it has a problem is actually on the highway. The speed limit is 70 and the winds blow at 40 mph. It's like asking a stock 4.0 to run at 120 mph and it results in full throttle to do 60 into a 40 mph wind which is Montana realistic. I need it for the highway.

Hmmm, how about a tough project for the next vehicle? There are non-SS Trailblazers and GMC Envoys that come with the 5.3, and some with 4x4. Perhaps get one to lift and turn into a crawler. Or, to convert to air suspension to slam it into the ground. I like both things. I have an 03 Envoy XL 5.3 myself and would love to see these trucks get some love

why do you always build stuff i like and make me want to do it also!

For a projects, I'd like to see you add the transfer case and front axle from an AWD GM truck to my supercharged-LS-swapped Olds Delta 88!

That seemed to go fairly well. If you want a vehicle to work on let me know. Lol Have a 73 K20 started a frame off but haven't finished. Could sure use the help.

Great videos. My Clayton longarm kit has my arms connected to the new crossmember. Will I be able to retain the factory location with your ls swap?

nice work it was made for it...next build hemi swap?..

Would you need someone to bring you everything to do the swap? I'd like to do a 2014+ 4.3 swap in my 98S10 SS but I dont think harnesses and things are available for that.

Thats awesome man. How I can get that XJ LS SWAP kit? Can you share please?

Much better Music.. LOL, thanx...

21:47 i bet a little bit longer bolts and some washers would open that up enough to clear that oil pan

I know this video is a year old, but I would like to know which motor and transmission did you get to install and where did you purchase them from since they look pretty new?

Nice I have a 96 xj I’m a start doin

Would you recommend a 400 turbo behind a carbureted lq4 in a zj or go with a different transmission?

what is the accessory bracket you used i cannot find one please and thank you in advance

Hello friend, excellent work 👏 the longing of a lot of us. Where you found the parts I am trying to start my project but I have not been able to communicate with Novak for a complete conversion kit

And what Radiator did u use and how did u wire urs up still have the stock Xj wiring harness?

I've been curious about doing a V8 swap on an XJ but using the 4.7l V8 from the Dakota or Ram. You'd have to find one that hasn't been abused although I'd pull the heads on any swap candidate from any manufacturer and send them to the machine shop for prep, including a valve job. The 4.7 motors are dirt cheap and make as much power and torque as any 4.0 stroker without the overheating problems. The 4.7HO motors make even more and are dirt cheap, especially since the Hemi has replaced it. And despite the OHC setup, they're actually fairly compact and will fit under the hood of an XJ. Probably no good reason to choose it over an LS swap seeing as most of the same stuff has to be replaced either way you go other than being able to say you have a Mopar V8 in your XJ. The price of the motor would be the biggest factor. You also get access to the 545RFE transmission which has a lot of support and is pretty reliable as long you don't go crazy with the power. Most of the guys blowing them up do so with the hemis.

Hey where can I find more information about where can I get the engine, the motor mount kit, what transmission to get for that, headers and what else do I need, I’m not mechanic but I have build one of the best Cherokee xj in Pennsylvania, my self lol, and I love the idea of get my Jeep to the next level with an engine like this. I will apréciate the help
