  • I messed up and priced the engine out of my wife's TJ I gave her for Valentines Day, Which lead me doing a custom swap I have been dreaming on for years. As busy as I stay these videos get filmed months apart. With time I hope to get it all working better. Thanks for the support. Always welcome to advice or ideas.

    The music was a nice unexpected choice. Also, the sped up parts made it very interesting.

    All the years I’ve wondered why advanced adapters or Novak hasn’t got onboard with what your doing. Yeah yeah LS the world but the magnum 5.2 or 5.9 is a great durable engine we all longed for in the xj, yj and tj years ago. Old technology but still reliable and enough power for most. Hemi’s and LS are cool but their price tags are not! Loving the content!!! Keep it up for us shade tree Penny pinchers!! For years I wanted to magnum aw4 swap a yj but a tj? Yeah that will fill the void as well!! Hope to get to wheel with you soon and talk your ear off about all the cool stuff you got man! 👍🏼

      Put a 4200 vortec in it gm inline 6 from trailblazer eletrioncs wise it's a ls it's 100 more hp and 50 more torque and 1" shorter and 150 lbs lighter than a 4.0 jeep

  • @kyletice811
    @kyletice811 Год назад

    Seems like a ton of work vs just using a 46rh/e or something that came behind the 5.2? Is there a reason other than you have probably 50 aw4 that you are using it instead?

    • @dexjs
      @dexjs  Год назад +3

      44rh is stupid long. 44re is too complicated. 44rh rear driveshaft would be 6-7 inch long
