Why this guy doesn't have a show is beyond me. Great content, great commentary
I appreciate that, more than you know.
When we buy donor vehicles for engines we usually post them up on FB market place for a week or 2 and let people come pick parts off them for a little more extra cash… last time we bought a donor vehicle and sold off everything we didn’t need the engine was free
Dead on accurate! It’s awesome isn’t it?! Where others are paying thousands for their engine, you can part out a vehicle and have your engine for free.
I got lucky with my LS. People would leave their cars on my grandmas property and someone left a c5 corvette there. We called the owner to take it but they refused to take it off the property, my grandma legally ended up taking possession of it and sold it to me for $1
Holy crap! That’s nucking futs!! Man you really did get lucky. I need some of your luck in my life! Haha
You've just earned a new subscriber! Just what I needed to hear. Most of the pros and cons in a short and sweet video. Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you! That means more than you know. I’m glad you found use from this video.
Another great video. Good luck with the build, I hope things go smoothly.
Remember as well when you choose a motor to go with a same gen motor as the model year of your rig or as close to it to avoid emissions issues. The Heep’s new motor swapped in has to be from the same gen or newer than the vehicle model year it’s going in. i.e. a 03 TJ will have to have a 03 or newer LS (or if 02 motor is same gen that’s fine too I believe) and it’s important to properly set up your emissions so you can keep it registered within the US Govt. Corporation, you don’t need road pirates pulling you over. For some, emissions is a big consideration when swapping and could be an issue for all counties given how terranical things are becoming.
This is a VERY good point and a major reason why Jeeps past 2014 usually go with HEMI, due to matching emissions needs. This is something that might be a great topic for a tech talk on its own.
Got it done!
Haha yessir! And now the real fun begins! Time go get this LS in!
Great video!!!
Thank You! That means a lot!
Great video

Dang great info. Time to prep for a TDI swap!
Haha not gonna lie, I spent a lot of time trying to decide if I wanted V8 or TDI diesel.
I’m definitely subscribing
Well thank you! It is appreciated more than you know!
Awesome video. I will def be doing this way in the near future. I have an anemic 2.5L & ready to swap that thing!!!
Hey that’s ok! I used to have the 2.5 in my YJ too and it was HORRIBLY slow. But I still loved that old Jeep. As long as she stayed in 4low, she kept moving on the trail. Haha.
@@mudtiremedia I agree, it’s good on trails. I do drive it on pretty days around town. Occasionally to work. That’s when & where I need a few more horses. I ain’t gobs lie though, I’d love a little more torque on the trail.
Just picked up a LS for my TJ
Heck ya! Stick around because I have a giveaway coming up in the near future that could be useful for that
@@mudtiremedia have you decided on your headers in motor mount yet?
I’m using Dave’s customs motor mounts and trans mount. I was originally going to drop the engine in and fabricate my own mounts, but they are fairly cheap and saves a lot of time. As far as a header, I haven’t made that choice yet. But I have a stack of parts piling up in the back of the garage right now. Trying to have every piece ready to go so I can drop it in quickly when the time comes.
Are you putting any power adders in your LS before you put it in?
@@mudtiremedia I do have a text to speech Cam in there, doing my head work for me I got a gen 3 5.3 it only has 63k on it for it off a buddy of mine the only reason he pulled it was to go to a 6.2 I’m in the same boat as u right now just trying to get all my parts my holly terminator should be here this week
Damn hes right there’s a shit load of them for $1000 annnnnd a lot of them are completely opposite of junkyard condition let me go head and hit that subscribe button
Haha this may just be my favorite comment I’ve gotten. Haha thank you for the sub!
Ive got an 83 full size jeep cherokee 4 door. Basically the same size as an old wagoneer. Im torn between the 5.3 and 6.0 since its such a heavy vehicle. Granted anything will be better than the 110 hp 258 inline 6 it came with but i still wonder if i should opt for the 6.0
Good insight. Have me thinking I overpaid for my 6.0 now 😂
Hey it’s all good, as long as you end up building your dream! 😃
What a freaking good vidja dude👍🏼 I would want this man to research any project I was gonna do in the future. We need him planning our well drilling operations
Thank you!!! I appreciate that more than you know!
