In the future, I am going to be swapping to the Holley Terminator kit. I will finish up all of the “finishing touches” on the wiring at that time. Keep an eye out for that video! In the meantime, I already have a stand-alone harness and GM computer wired up and ready to go! In this video, we have a local engine tuner come out to the house. The tune definitely needed some adjustments, especially since installed a Texas speed stage 2 cam during the swap. We still need to get it dialed in better, but this engine sounds AMAZING and drives even better. An LS in an LJ is so much fun to drive. The V8 swap was definitely worth it!
I really wanted to get the Jeep driving well on the road. There are some Jeep specific projects coming up and I want to be able to move it around the drive way easily, taking the Jeep out to the beach since it is officially summer here in Texas, and take it offroading if I have the opportunity to do so before the Holley Terminator kit arrives!

You might need to change the torque converter to a higher stall to match the cam and intake.
People in NC- filling trash bags with gasoline panicking for no reason.
Ben and Casey- hammering their V8 Jeeps on both channels.
Love it...also great job on both!
Tuner sporting the Cleetus hat! Nice. Great work on the rigs and the stray dog. He found the right home. Thanks for the video
Good job guys taking in the stray dog ,he's a happy camper now!!! Dogs are such blessing in our live'[s !!!!!
Just love the fact that you guys are in the rgv. Hopefully I’ll see that thing on the road someday
The delay you are feeling from a dead stop could be torque management but I’d gamble that the power enrichment (PE) settings could use some tweaking-they can be over a certain RPM or a certain time at WOT. Your cam may play into this but I don’t remember how big the cam was
Glad that you finally posted a video, I've been wondering.
Put a Pedal Commander on it and the lag will be gone!! FYI. That Hemi won't be able to keep up after that, lol!! I owned a 2015 2500hd with the 6.0L . Installed the Pedal Commander and it came ALIVE! That lag was never seen again. It also improved its towing abilities dramatically.
My 03 does the same I'll have to look into the pedal command
As a flame red LJ owner. I have been waiting for this 😂
There is another
You need a higher stall converter to compensate for the cam swap on the 5.3 for the low end torque
I've been thinking about putting a v8 into my 1999 TJ for a while now and that first clip really just sold me.
Very impressed with the way the LS sounds and runs now compared to the previous video. I love this swap. Makes me wanna do an LS swap to my ‘16 JK 4dr.
This is awesome! Love to see a local RUclipsr do great things I myself been wanting to do a LS swap jeep. You got yourself a new subscriber!
The exhaust sounds great. I'm ordering the same engine mounts and exhaust for my YJ build.
WOW! The LS sounds nice. Cant wait to see you two take your Jeeps offroad.
Super healthy LS! I'm stoked for y'all!
Been following this swap since the beginning and you're really REALLY making me consider an LS swap in my LJ! Great work and enjoy the best made Jeep ever!
Do it! It'll give you so many smiles per gallin
Hell yea! Looking forward to continuing to see the upgrades!
Hey guys! Glad to see y'all back! Your Jeep sounds great Cassie 👍. And your lil dog is so cute!
Man the jeeps sounds amazing crazy how far this jeep has come!!
Super cool guys!.. that LJ sounds bad ass!.. easy fix, throttle response timing in the tuner!.. you guys will get it.
Congrats on the AWESOME build!
Awesome y'all!! The Jeeps are amazing! Thinking of doing the 5.7 hemi swap on my 17 JK so I can use the trans, but I might regret not having the 485 hp lol. And congrats in the new pup!!
Cletus cap = certified tuner! Hell yeah!
Sounds great! Nice job you two! Cool new pup too.
Awesome video!!....Jeep sounds killer!!!....love how it turned out!!... and when you do the long arm and new shocks....I'd love to buy the shocks you take off!!
Sounds Awesome,,, you guys have toooo much FUN,,,,, All the best Bobby here from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺👍
As an Khaki LJ and Silver Gladiator owner I just want to say how much I have enjoyed all of your videos. Given me so many ideas that my wife has shot down but I am looking at as LS install on the LJ
That’s sound is amazing!
Engine sounds real good
Guys that hesitation i think maybe a vacuum leak . I would seriously look into that as a most likely scenario .. because on a dirt road my 3.6 would instantly spin the tires off when i punch it .. that is a pretty poor take off .. love the the project been waiting 6 weeks for this just trying to help ya’ll get it straight… love it tho keep us posted
Yeah something isn’t right. We will figure it out soon!
Yes! Vacuum leak .. Put some fog/smoke in a line and find out where it's leaking.
A vacuum leak would not cause the engine to run like that. That is a tuning issue or they are just out of the cams power and. Only way to tell is a datalog. If AFR looks good then it’s just the cam/converter/gears
A vacuum leak LOL what a random thing to say. Everyone is a mechanic sheeeiitttt.
Very nice job. Looks good. Sounds great. Enjoy it. Keep it up with the great videos
I am guessing your ears were burning, I was thinking yesterday evening I wonder how things are going with the LS swap & next day boom. lol
Yeah I was talking about it with my brother lol
Missed you guys! Sounds amazing and I can't wait for the video of your opinion on the best swap as my JK miles slowly pile up.
You guys are standup people for adopting that dog!
"It was a little chaotic, Ben had the gas pedal in his hand" LMAOOOOO Not something you hear everyday
Sounds and looks sweet guys, awesome job.
Awesome series! I have my 2004 Wrangler for sale, but I also have a "beat to hell" suburban with a perfect 5.3L in it. You got me really thinking about doing this!
Both jeeps are cool 😎
Keep up the great work 💪
“tuning” and getting her to idle properly are two very different things. Great looking Jeep.
I seriously thought we needed to send a search party out for you and Ben? I can’t believe you all have a life, work and family is above all these great videos! LOL. Thanks for another great one!
🔥Ls swap on a Wrangler 🤘 You guys are awesome for picking up that 🐕 👍
That's just your ls. My truck does same exact thing stock. They don't start running good till 3k or so , also the drive by wire hurts them to but those can be "adjusted "
Sounds awesome, congratulations,
Love your guys video's. You feel so much more real than other "couple" channels for Jeeps, won't mention any names lol.
check your tow control on the transmission the truck that the transmission came out of should of had a button on the gear shift (center of shift knob) for tow mode that could be what is causing the throttle lag
"0-Death Wobble" - LOL! Another great video guys.
I just got my Terminator X Max for my silver LJ last week😻
I love the videos and the LS swap, but the best news is the new puppy
Sounds awesome!
Sounds great, guys!!!!!
Great job guys.
Nice update. Love the look on your faces with the 2nd gear "punch". I was beginning to think you guys had kids, jobs, and other life responsibilities that kept you from posting in a while. :)
great work guys
Hell Yea Brother!!!!! A good Ole Cleeter Hat
zero to death wobble real quick. lol made me laugh out loud like a crzy person. enjoy the builds. made me want to pull the trigger on my v8 swap on my JK
Sounds awesome
Yesssssss swap all the things!!
So cool! Paint the fenders RED
Mint!
Sounds badass 👍✌️
I have a stock 06 LJ Rubicon and been considering a long arm kit. It will be interesting to see what kit you install.
the jeep sounds nice cute dog
That is awesome!
i dig it. Nice job.
I’m curious if the tps is causing your delay from a stand still. It may not be reading full throttle correct. Just a thought. Nice to see it back on the road. Thanks for the update.
hopefully you guys can have a meet up around utrgv
Love the sound of the sound. I was wonder where you got the grab handle?
You two can't resist a fixer-upper, can you? I'm sure Milo appreciates that!
Nice job.
Great, now I want a LS for my JK 😆 damn it you two!
You guys are killing me I am now looking for a motor for my jk. Dang it
sounds great
Such a nice jeep. Do you have videos and information on the windshield lights and mounts?
I think it take off in 2 gear do the manually in 1 gear and check the different.
Damn ! So good 👍
I think you did a great job here. With the charger sitting in the driveway you didn't have to wire the jeep but you did for RUclips content thats awesome. My terminator x has an expected shipping date in early June. What about yours? If you got the max you will be able to adjust shift points yourself and get that thing really spicy. My cammed 6.0 LS to a tremec TR-4050 is all bolted up and ready to go, just waiting on the terminator x and radiator and the Tomb Raider TJ will be ripping. Thanks for all the info on this build. Please do a wiring video on the terminator to LS to jeep dash gauges when it comes in.
Jeep hair don’t care!! Lol! Sounds awesome!!! Congrats!!!
You only think it has power at the moment but It's missing a bunch of power from a dead stop. Definitely need tuning. It's almost as if it's not starting in 1st gear from a dead stop. Might be starting in 2nd or 3 rd.
Great job, do mine next!
My wife's 2003 Trailblazer with the 5.3L did the same thing. It was bonkers with response while the truck was in motion, but had major delay from the start. I chalked it up to electronic throttle management. Perhaps the throttle response needs to be programmed, or if that is not possible try something like a Pedal Commander.
I'm sure there is passenger side controls you can get since most of the Rural Letter Carriers (mailman) don't have right hand drive vehicles around here. When I was a kid the mailman was a super tall man so he just straddled the console.
Ohhh yeahhh. Go pro does it justice even with the wind.
Hearing it is making me want to do the swap even more.
I had a 95 Suburban 1500, if you slowing added gas it really accelerated quickly and smoothly, if you just step on the gas it revved but didn't get but didn't get up to speed as fast.
very impressive, been watching both of ur builds from beginning, cassy, on ur next vid with the gauges working, can you tell us if there's any lag from stock gauge? like multiple ecus, and converrters seems like there's gatta be lag. how long is the delay from real time gas and gauges responding? thank you very much. i've seen ppl do aftermarket gauges installed, and have said no lags which makes sense.
Good job! Are you going to put ORIs on for crawling?
So you could be dealing with torque management, it could be Ben's air filter placement again or it could have too much cam
That's sounds incredible!! Just wondering why the Alaska license plates still?
Love the LJ. LS. When do you want to do mine?
I would guess it's the stage 2 cam you put in it. Your giving up bottom end torque
Will you be making a video on how much did you guys end up spending on the swap
Great work! Why are you switching to the Holley system?
For that gas pedal idea, there are companies that make hand throttles for TJs. I'm not sure if they would work with the swap though.
Added up parts list to roughly 7k so far, not including motor. Not bad, sounds bad ass !!!
Torque converter maybe needs upgrading! Do to the cam y’all installed🤷🏻♂️
So cool! So, when are you two going to race each other?
Is your gearing correct for your tires and transmission? That might be part of the lag issue.
Man y’all are from the RGV in Texas? I’m so in love with that Jeep!!!
I’ve never had a canned motor but the 5.3 in my Yukon is the same way lags on the start and then opens up I’m assuming it’s a “LS” thing
Do I see a hemi vs LS race in the near future??
Do a mid arm lift...you don’t really need a long arm. Check out the Savvy lift.
