I decided to start this thread because it can help someone. I got a lot of inspiration from other's threads like from racer32, John D, PhotoJared, Frank Z, Jeff 98XJ WI, etc.. I would like to thank all the XJ LS swapers. Excuse my english.
My XJ is a 2001 sport. I put a M62 supercharger in it to get more power, but I was not very satisfied. Then I put a comp cam 232-4, piggyback ecu, wideband, headers but the results was poor for the effort. So I decided to go the LS route because I knew the engine from Corvette and I very like the V8 sound and torque production.
Now I am at the middle of the swap. (I hope).
This swap began in Feb 2017 when I got the package from ebay:
then I pulled the old engine out:
which one is better?
but when I took the old truck intake I got a bad feeling about the LM7 (156k miles) engine
and my frustration was bigger and bigger
the engine was full of carbon buildups
so I continued to the bottom end and without any surprise it was full of rust and carbon
the rod bearings destroyed
