Well I am finally almost done with my LS swap in my old CJ8. I fired it up yesterday and it started on the first try. So far everything seems to be working as expected but I haven't driven it yet due to a dead Jeep parked behind it. I know I should have been better at taking pictures along the way but here are a few.
The motor is a 5.3 from an 01 GMC Yukon. It has been rebuilt with L33 flat top pistons and rods bored 30 over. It has a better cam in it. The transmission is a 4L60E that came in the Yukon, it was rebuilt with the standard improvements most put in these. The transfer case is an Atlas two speed with 3.8 ratio. To make life easier on the swap I swapped to a driver's side drop front axle. Its a 77 F150 narrowed high pinion axle. Snaking the exhaust through the narrow CJ frame and the 4 links was one of the biggest challenges.
