Hi all, I have a 1998 XJ Cherokee I'm am transplanting a LS1 in. It began as I VM Motori 425 2.5l turbo diesel engine, AX15 manual gearbox, Dana 35 rear diff, Dana 30 front diff, NP231 transfer case. I'm replacing the motor and gearbox with a 2003 LS1 GEN3 5.7l V8 and 4L60e automatic transmission. The rear diff will be a Ford Explorer 8.8. I will keep the Dana 30 front diff but am changing the brakes to 2014 WL Grand Cherokee calipers and Ford 320mm rotors. I'm installing a 4.5" long arm lift kit. The build is on Instagram username LS1_xjcherokee if anyone interested. Cheers
Kev
