i am not all knowing on GM V6 jeeps but i will tell you that you should get rid of that motor as quickly as possible. I dont know what kind of mounting issues youre going to run into as far as getting the 4.0 in there but you have got to get rid of the 2.8. I did a renix to HO swap on my jeep...
nice rear end ; ) lol. yeah the butt of this jeep is going to be as simple as possible. i have smacked both shackles but its easy to drive off a shackle, not easy to drive off a hooked bed. i hate the rake these things seem to get gonna do long arms and 2 more inches of lift in the front of mine
the main problem i have is this is actually a daily driver so i have to do everything in these little steps. now that ive made the bed cut i want to basically resto-mod or i wont feel like its finished.
yes i want to build a bumper that ties the whole thing together and also again allows for operation on the tailgate, this is just the initial effort. and i didnt cut it to any specific length, i just cut 16 inches out. i wanted to get the overhang and close as possible and its pretty close
terrifying might be a strong word, ive driven a large portion of my jeeps with no sway-bars, itll help you be a much more careful driver, no speeding tickets.
this is simly how its done my friend. just use lock tite. the other option is welding but you will almost undoubtedly catch your seats on fire.:firedevil
i have a thread down the page a little where i did the exact same swap basically. feel free to check it out and ask any questions you could possibly have and i will be more than willing to answer.
I tend to agree.
Yeah i welded it while it was still attached to the motor. it was just a tiny little crack when i got to it and like i said i was planning on doing the new headers anyways so it wasnt something i stressed over real hard.
