It runs REALLY strong and still needs tuning. Here's a photo today showing the wheels.

So sweet

 

[Bart]

AWESOME!!! Nice work.

 

[Stinger]

I heard this monster run yesterday. WOW!

 

[RockChucker]

any details on the fuel filler? That thing is sweet and will work great for the very tight constraints I'm about to come up with. I also think we need some hard video evidence this thing actually runs. As far as we know it is all imaginary...

I actually got the locking filler from Aircraft Spruce, not cheap but the quality is incredible.

This is very crazy. Someone said novark was putting 5.3 in WJ well that's back in 2010. It's 2014. I'm doing swap novark is saying they don't provide any parts for this swap in a WJ

What headers or manifolds did u use to do this swap? I've tried everything on eBay I've had resale them. Can't get past the unibidy without cutting it and welding up

I'm stuck at what headers to use and where to get them. Seems to me either cut unibody or don't do swap. I've got everything else. Except headers or manifolds I don't have to modify my unibody to fit. Seems if novark done this swap in 2010 they could provide exhaust option to everyone's

I think you might have been in a coma, it is 2014 dude

Love Novak stuff but you are right, website needs some updating, I don't use Skype (hate it when someone rings me, hate the sound and delay) and it is to expensive to be ringing to ask about parts and Novak website contact does not reply back, "[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]jpndave" replied back through private msg when I asked him about Novak stuff which was good [/FONT], point is they are missing out in possible sales from people researching on the internet only and not knowing about this actual conversion.

Yeah excuse me on 2013 I know its 2014 my mind don't always work with the fingers typing on iPod lol. I can't find any what so ever headers or manifolds made for this swap. Unless I cut into unibody to use the 98-02 stock Camaro manifolds. Stil got cut over 2 inch out unibody both sides that scares me. If the pipes off head didnt pull out 2 1/2 inch then the belly so fat wouldn't have to cut unibody to use 98-02 Camaro stock manifolds. I sent EJ email explaining what needs changed on these manifolds so he could maybe make these headers or manifolds but I've gotten no return email saying he can do or nothing. I love novark I've spent lots time and money on here. But also I've spent soooooo much money into this WJ. The corvette would work if bottom of flange didn't bend out and hugged around starter alittle tighter. So I'm stuck no headers or manifolds to use. Can start engine in jeep its sitting on 2x4's and blocks in engine bay. Don't run long afraid of burning valve.

Then I get on here see that novark has done a WJ swap in 2010 tring figure out why wasn't the parts for that swap molded for kits to sale to others.

I even offered EJ to come get my WJ and engine to put in for me. To wrap my WJ in advertisment and I'd sign contract to do car jeep truck shows but no return email on that either

I've requested info through their email contact and have yet to get a reply.

I'm in no way bad mouthing novark adapters. Just dunno how they can do a WJ swap in 2010 and 2014 not have parts they used in 2010 WJ Ls v8 swap to sale to others like me.

 

[Johnweiler]

where's the exhaust manifolds or headers coming from for this WJ ? I'm doing 5..3 swap in WJ and EJ has said there's no headers or manifolds for this swap made anywhere. So what was used on this swap? And where do I get them?

Thanks for the compliment.

We have a WJ in the shop right now getting a 5.3L L33 all aluminum engine with a 4L60E transmission. We will have engine mounts and an electric fan assembly with laser cut aluminum shroud ready shortly (to replace the weird hydraulic fan setup). The engine and transmission are sitting in place. You are welcome to stop by if you are up this way to see how it looks. I suspect it will be a couple hundred pounds lighter, have an additional 100hp and get several MPG better mileage.

You should call NOVAK adapters, rather than continue to hijack a build thread about a totally diffrent vehicle.
