My 98 f150 xlt 5.4 Triton to turbo charged 4bt start to finish was $6,738.44. For $5,000 got the 4bt, $1,738.44 in parts. Runs great has been for 70k miles. I have done a bunch of these.
Lovely and informative videos! How much would you charge to swap the same engine on my 1959 Chevrolet Apache c38? I dont have the time to do it and bu the way im not a mechanic guy i just love to ride.
@TurboDieselXJ Love the content man keep it up as a fellow cherokee owner it is super cool to see someone appreciate these vehicles like I do. They are super cool and its awesome to see one with an engine swap like this so keep it up man!
I have my 1997 xj im doing a 648 swap, its all about research. All done should be around 5k -6k but im gonna be making 450-500hp! 648 engine i got for free( had a bad head gasket) 4l-80e to 648 adaptor kit is 1300$. 4l80e- with np241 tcase and standalone controller 800$. standalone original ecu 400$. Bw s300v 60m billet compressor wheel 500$ doing my own exhaust manifold! line and fittings, 500$ Head gasket kit 150$ 6000 rpm stiffer valves 150$ 200$ resurfacing! custom driveshafts 800$ All labor done by me, motor mounts by me, cross member by me!
Awesome stuff as usual. I have decided to abandon the YJ swap and am looking for an XJ carcass only because Joe is offering motor mounts for it. I don’t have access to a fab shop and my bubble gum welding skills won’t cut it lol. But if my XJ project is half as good as yours it’s an absolute win for me only because I have a herd of jeeps and it won’t be my daily until it’s on par with yours.
Just stumbled across your channel. I've been thinking long and hard about a diesel swap on my 99 2dr. This video helped. Thank you sir. And you have a beautiful rig.
Cost me 750 for engine 800 adapter plate About another 700 in small stuff like wiring resealing the engine belts oil filter relocation stuff all stock stuff on motor under 3k for me just depends how crazy you wanna get with your stuff on motor
I find this video hilarious cause it's true. I used a pd Volkswagen diesel in my 2000 xj and what was supposed to Be a cheapish diesel swap. Has turned into a 25k ground up re build. Gears, lockers, tcase, Trans and engine are all new now at least XD
Hey Thank you! I get 22-24 city when I am taking it easy. Highway: The best I have EVER seen was 28 and I was taking it so easy. No boost. Typically highway is just about the same as city. I am on 35's and 4.88 gears.
My buddy and I have swapped a cammed 5.3 into a 5 speed s10. Whole swap was about 6k to 6.5k including the truck. My buddy and I did it in a barn with 1 electrical outlet. I can't wait to start a diesel swap on my 01 s10 blazer.

If you get parts from doomsday, I have no doubt you will end up with a reliable swap like mine. Joe is killing it with the parts.
@@turbodieselxj I already have purchased almost everything else from him lol I know his craftsmanship is unmatched
