This is an interesting story and nice build ahead! Looking forward for EP2, keeeeep rollingggg !!!
I'm glad you liked it! Next up will be much more exciting stuff :))
You've got the potentials of a good series right here
thank you!! keep an eye out :)
Wow what a cool project! I can’t wait to see if this jeep gets an Extreme Home Makeover. Move That Bus!!
MOBE THAT JOOP
Going to follow this one. Good luck Connor.
Thanks boss!! More coming soon ❤️
As a new YJ owner that also wants to LS swap this is absolutely gold! Thank you very much for creating this series.
You’re welcome! Hopefully lots of good info. She’ll be running before you know it 🙏
Lots and lots of work!
you're tellin me hahah, I'm just taking it one step at a time!
Love seeing this project!!
I would love to see your buddy make so videos of his project!
You and me both!! Haha if he does I’ll definitely link it
I'm not sold on the AX15 behind a stock LS, let alone a one with a turbo. I very much doubt it will survive. When I did my swap, I was sad to loose the manual, but I know the 4L60 is way more suited for romping on this thing, and the amount of aftermarket support is huge.
Best of luck to you.
Couldn’t stomach loosing the manual :( also icon 4x4 uses ax15s behind their 450 hp crate ls3! So I’m guessing it’ll hold up just fine. My power goals are low!
I did this exact build down to the 8.8 rear end. It’s in my Jeep and it’s been great. I used Novak everything and it dropped in like it was meant to be. I used Holley terminator x for the management, they make it so easy to integrate into the Jeep. I used an after market gps Speedo and tach so I have gauges. I used east coast gear supply for the 8.8 swap kit again they sell everything cheap to make a painless swap. Cooling will be your biggest issue. I used an Amazon aluminum 4 core radiator for a Yj and it will run 212 in the summer fan always on. Let me know if you want more details or tips and tricks or if you get stuck I’m more then willing to give information.
Yo thanks for sharing! I may have some questions for you in the future here haha thanks. I appreciate it!!
Hell yeah. I got a YJ with a built 2.5 + turbo, but it’s an old build with an AEM that only works with windows XP. I miss V8 torque so I am lookin at getting a junkyard 5.3 and do the same with the existing ax15. Do you recommend Novak for everything? I’ve heard the other good parts source is advance adapters but still researching the options.
@@shize9ine I had an 8 month lead time / back order from advance. I highly recommend Novak but you definitely pay more! Buy once cry once lol. Also I’m super jealous! My original plan was to turbo the 2.5. Such an awesome route to go down.
It’s really fun and makes all the right sounds but the power band is like 4k rpms and on with 32”s. I’ve blown through 3 head gaskets getting spicy on the road and the machine shop told me they can’t deck my head after this one. So instead of a smaller turbo or fire ringing the block V8 is the more reasonable option. You’re gonna have the most smiles per $ with your build and low end torque! If you get rowdy and the ax15 poops itself they’re only like $3-$400. Do you know if you’re going to have to change driveshaft lengths or not there yet?
@@shize9ine I hear you, 4k power and is dangerous with that 2.5, it got pretty pissed off above 4k in my experience 😂. The main reason I’m throwing a turbo kit on the LS is the noises, only planning on running super low boost with a small single turbo! And yes the shafts need to be custom, engine is moved forward about 3” to clear the firewall. A guy at Novak said the stock shafts can be lengthened in the rear and shortened up from by a driveshaft shop for pretty cheap!
Please continue on this!
New video exporting now 🫶
Cool project to watch, interesting and definitely worth a sub 👍.
Thanks for the sub! Dropping another video soon here :)
Now you actually have to finish it.
Looking forward to it 😮
Haha thank you!! Appreciate it
Great job man, you have new subscriber! Hope to see a lot more on this yj. Absolutely my favorite generation.
More to come! Thanks for the sub
Insane!! I was going to suggest a 5vzfe before you mentioned the LS! 😂
that would be a wicked swap too!
Love your honesty in your mistakes. Mainly because if I attempted this I’d probably put the whole engine back together backwards 😂
Haha I might do the same!
Just found your channel looking forward to seeing how the wiring goes
Welcome aboard! Wiring coming next 🙌
I saw the short and had to subscribe! Just finished a Magnum V8 swap on my TJ last year so I am psyched to see how your LS conversion goes!
Hey Benny! I bought a 5.2l swapped TJ and am having issues with the computer reading the O2 sensors. What computer and wiring harness did you use? The previous owner put extra wires in the stock harness and reprogrammed the stock computer in my TJ. Curious what you did.
Subscribed, I can’t wait to see what you do with this build!
Thank you!! She’ll be whipping in no time 💪
Congratulations bro
Thank you so much 😀
I’m a Toyota guy but I wanna see you get this cool project together and running. I’m subbed. Good luck dude 👍🏼
Thanks for the sub! gonna be really grinding on this project in the next month. hope to get it roadworthy by spring :)
@@ConnorGuldnerheck yeah man keep us posted with videos lol
Such a fun project 😢😢 can’t wait for more vids
Shoutout grant 👏
When you put that turbo to it, it would be wise to have it tuned. Then you will have plenty of giddy up and go and then some for getting up the Cottonwood!
it will definitely be tuned!
@@ConnorGuldner it's going to be a fun build to watch. Love finding Utah channels.
Ok, you got me. I'm in! Looking forward to part two.
glad your in :) Keep an eye out for part two!
I used the quick draw on my swap. It's completely fine.
Good to know 🫰
Keep it going! I love a project car.
Thank you!! Will do 🙌
Can’t wait for the finished product
Me neither! its gonna be rowdy
PBR Cans? A man of culture I see 🫡
only the finest award winning beverages enter my body
Can't wait for EP2
Dropping tonight! Wiring harness episode 🙌
I am very interested in the QuickTime bellhousing. I like the idea and favor it over the Novak. You may be the only build on RUclips using this bellhousing.
I really like the idea too! Much more simple, cheaper and I like the use of OEM parts for the clutch stuff. However, I actually visited Novak in person and talked with the sides over there for hours, they say theirs is still king due to some design quirks on the QuickDraw unit. (But of course theirs is way more expensive lol)
apparently there is no return spring on the clutch fork so it has constant pressure on the clutch fins causing wear super fast or something. I guess I will find out 🤘
Came from the instagram post, can't wait to see the build progress! I also have a 2.5L yj and also dream of an ls swap so this should give me somewhat of a taste of how challenging it will be. Out of curiosity, any idea what soft top you are currently running?
Ayooo!! Welcome to the RUclips 🤝 the soft top is the bestop super top
Nice im excited to see more of this project! Im local to utah as well
Thank you!! Cheers neighbor 🙏🙏
Letsss gooo sounds like you have your work cut out for you but I’m here for it 🤙
Haha definitely 😅 focusing on one step at a time
Sound system also
That’s low on the priority list lol but I’ll do it eventually!
Oh I’m here for the jeep stuff 😎
Les gooo 😈🤝
I don’t think he really understands what a “red rocket” really is 🤭… but DAMN that looks like a cool build!
dog weener jeep ahaha
@@ConnorGuldner ahhhh so you DO know what "red rocket" means.... LOLOLOL thanks for the response, can't wait to see this thing on it's wheels again!
We call it lipstick… “damnit duke, put your lipstick away”
@@Mega_Tron6891 we’ve called it that before too… probably more often than not”red rocket”. But still, “red rocket” is a much wider culturally integrated term than “lipstick”. 🤓😅😎
You should get a sye kit
The tail housing on the np231 is too long. Your rear drive shaft will be too short and will come apart anytime you get axle wrap... and you will get axle wrap lol
Good to know lol
Buddy come on waiting for the next ep
Workin on it! Tackling wiring…
Getting my first jeep tomorrow… now to find a friend with a garage and Ls swap it for absolutely no reason.
DO IT haha
Yes!
❤️❤️
Friend of mine has a CJ7, that has a 350, a Muncie granny low four speed and a divorce 205. He kept the axles until he killed them. No lower ring and pinion. It would clean the tires in seconds.
That sounds like an animal! 🔥
Giga jeep revamp
The gigajeep will live 👏
I’m here from the short
Welcome 🙏
Have you thought about a slip yoke eliminator kit for your transfer case?
Since I’m not lifting the Jeep, not planning on it until something breaks! Lol
LETS GOOOOO!!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
I want to see more
cookin up a new vid now! the motor is in the car

Bruh that cylinder identify as a sam missile
Hahahaha facts the thing really wanted out of the atmosphere 👀
Nice start whats ur friends channel
He doesn’t have one but I’m pushing him to do vids haha I’ll link it if he ever does videos
Yo, is that a beige 240 in the back ground?
Yes it is 👀
I subscribed to see this build, but ...
You handled that gear beefy boy thingy like Rose Byrne handled guns in the movie "Spy", then you complete the assembly off camera, and the whole thing is in your friend's garage🤔
😅😅
It sure feels like someone else is doing the work 😅
But at keast you're picking the s*itty parts to make it interesting 😂😂
Lmao I wish I had friends who knew how to help me with this stuff 😂
This is just the boring into boss. Exiting stuff to come thanks for watching 😁
Aint 650 $ for a bell housing is very expensive? You said it’s the cheapest !!!
Yeah isn’t that crazy?!
Sweet! I am here for the LS not the Jeep lol. Still a cool Jeep though!
Haha well thanks for following 👏👏
@@ConnorGuldner yes sir I really love the car picture shorts 👍
