LT.. An episode on your thoughts of a Frankenstein build would be cool or if somebody has that build like seeing different manufacturers equipment working with one another.. like for me my Frankenstein truck. Is a Cummins (dodge) with a Allison transmission( gm) with banks turbo(s) (ford) would like to hear your insight on what you like from different manufacturers and if you do a build like that.

Yes, more gas usage... but if you've got the kind of money to do this kind of an extensive build,... money for some extra gas is typically not a problem.

Very cool project! I’ve enjoyed every single episode!

Your fabrication and tig skills are outstanding! Loved watching this build as an XJ owner myself.

Awesome work LT!!! Sounds amazing & I see it put a smile on face push that load peddle down!!!!!

That was a great series. I loved watching you on Truck Tech and love your channel. Wishing you much success and good fortune. And the scenery around you neighborhood, with the lake and mountains is beautiful. 🤙🏻🇺🇸🛠

Sounds great. Congrats on the first build for a customer now that you're on your own. Cant wait to see what's next, LT

Now that is a big success! Those aluminum welding skills are awesome!

Great job man 👌 followed this build all the way through 👍👍👍

Thats awesome. I actually used to have a 96 xj that I ls swapped. 5.3/4l60e/hybrid np231j. It was crazy fun to drive around.

I loved this particular series and build as I am getting ready to do this exact swap in my wife's 1996 XJ Cherokee. Your attention to detail is top notch nice job.

How is it going with the swap

Hell yeah gearheads live for moments like this. Hearing a bad ass engine in an awesome ride. I really want to do an engine upgrade on my XJ, can’t decide wether to go with a 4.0 strokes to 4.7 or go with an LS upgrade. Biggest concern for me is I head out far from home on overlanding trips and I need the rig to be very reliable. Thanks for inspiration!!!!

Super cool build man you killed this install 👌

Congrats on a successful completion to the project.

Very cool! I've been daily driving my 01 XJ that I swapped a 6.0 into for 5 or so years. It's bulletproof, and lots of fun.

Sweet xj man, I have a 2 door that is a long work in progress but i've always loved these two door xjs so it might take a while to get her where I want it, but by god i'll get there! Till then i'll watch guys like you and keep me motivated!

Very cool! I have a 2001 4 door XJ in the same color and eventually want to do a LS swap. Awesome video series 👍

Holley makes some cool CAN network gauges that piggy back on each other I plan to use with my LS project

Portaband for the tube sawing 👍

Take a little crazy glue to the crack in the window drip rail. Definitely better than the 4.0L in my TJ!

Nice attention to detail. Your work is very nicely done. If I had the money I would have you do my XJ too.

beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Use a nice miter saw with a fine tooth, above 60T, carbide blade. Makes a real accurate smooth cut in aluminum, it is what we use to cut the frames when building aluminum patio rooms.

Use a wood blade on the chop saw to cut aluminum. Works great.

Nice way to end the build, waiting to get my project off putting a 5.3 into my tahoe

That look on your face when you punched it, classic. Well done 👍.

LT, I had a 2006 Rubicon (TJ) with the 4.0 straight six. No joke, I used to ease it up to some pretty gnarly hills, put it in 4L, 1st gear and just ease off the clutch. It would idle up them. Great motor! I replaced it with a 2010 Rubicon (JK) with the 3.whatever V6. That motor would not repeat the trick. Not enough torque at that low of an RPM. They were both great off-road, but the JK was better on the highway. lol. Next Rubicon will be the new one with the Hemi in it.

That’s awesome. I miss my xj. Only thing I’d change is make it a little louder

I just stumbled on your channel with this video, and noticed Mount Timpanogos in one of your shots. Pretty cool to see someone in Utah, looks like you were on the opposite side of Utah lake from me.

I like to change the idle speed and let the engine idle and learn all over the place until I'm certain it won't stall. That helps develop a base fuel map under no load. On my sniper, I can adjust the idle from 400 to 2500rpms. If it knows the fuel requirements from 400 to 2500 under no load, you're less likely to get stranded. It makes the first drive a lot more enjoyable. My closed loop compensation often flutters between 0% and -0% while cruising. Seeing as much as 2% is a big change. She's pretty dialed in after running on my daily driver.

I would of loved to see a before, 0-60 and then an after 0-60! But besides that a wonderful video! Double thumbs up!

Looking good! Great job on the build LT! What's next?

@@jimmyburks7030 I was wrong about that one. Holley is definitely not Syvecs. I think I figured out a way to do it. www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/fuel_injection/modules_and_sensors/parts/554-165 This is an I/O expansion module that can output analog and digital output. Oil pressure, temperature, and voltage are analog. Like a 5 volt reference adjusted by the resistance in the sensor. Speed, rpm, and such are digital pulse output. Like a square wave from 0v to 5v to 0v at a certain speed for crank and cam position and so on. You may be able to use the i/o module to send the signals to the OEM ecu and it gets converted to canbus there. There are other ways to do it. canbushack.com/

I daily drive my xj on a 3" lift and 33" tires. Ive got 4.56 gears so a little high but on road cruising at 75 and even 80 there is no steering wheel shake or anything. The low center of gravity and wider wheel base really makes the thing feel planted. Makes me want to LS swap mine or maybe even 1jz swap as ive seen someone do before.

Awesome build!! I did find the bit where you pre-fitted the intake tube and marked it before cutting to be unnecessary since you put it in a rubber elbow.😄I probably would have done that and then been my own worse critique. 🙃

Very nice work, what bracket and lever did you use for the transmission shifter?
