    Rock Solid Fab 5.7 Hemi Comanche

    I still have more updates to do. But honestly the lack of interest wasn't very encouraging. When you aren't getting any feedback along the way, and there's a ton of actual work to be done, it makes updating your build thread fall down towards the bottom of the priority list! One day I will sit...

    Rock Solid Fab 5.7 Hemi Comanche

    An often overlooked aspect of an engine swap is the fuel system. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money converting over to s return style system with billet fuel rails and braided aftermarket AN style hose and aluminum fittings. Thats over kill for this project, plus, it doesn't look stock. I...

    Rock Solid Fab 5.7 Hemi Comanche

    After mounting the HVAC system it was time to move on to the cooling system. I knew even the best 4,0 Radiator probably wasnt going to cut it for the Hemi, so I ordered a 19x24 2 core all aluminum radiator from Summit Racing and trimmed the front cross member so it could drop down into place and...

    Sorry for the delay in pictures, I have been absolutely swamped with work. I haven't had a full day off in over a month but there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. But trust me, there are more tunnels. Anyway... back to the story on how to install a Hemi into an XJ or MJ. Since the...

    Thanks Ed! More pics will be on the way soon. I just don't have a ton of time... Currently working on a WJ brake/knuckle swap on a YJ and doing a built 6.4 Hemi in a 2013 JK...

    Rock Solid Fab 5.7 Hemi Comanche

    Once the engine mounts were finished up completely, I went ahead and reinstalled the engine again so I could move on to test fitting other things and boxing in the fire wall. I was concerned about hood clearance from the start of this project. the Hemi is only a little taller than the 4.0...

    Rock Solid Fab 5.7 Hemi Comanche

    The engine hoist can really get in the way when trying to fab things up, and I knew I wanted the chassis side engine mounts to bolt on just like factory. I decided I should use as many of the stock holes as possible, so I utilized both the 4 cyl and 6 cyl mount holes/studs to help spread out the...

    I then began marking out the firewall where it needed to be trimmed to make room... Then I started cutting. First thing was to move the steering shaft over as much as possible. Once it was moved over and tacked back into place, we continued with the cutting process until there was enough...

    Alright... So sorry for all the clutter. But I finally figured out how to make imgur work and have photos that are properly sized for viewing. So on we will continue! Anyway, back to where we left off with lining up the Hemi to the bell housing and all the stuff being in the way...

    Rock Solid Fab 5.7 Hemi Comanche

    Alright, my pet peeve is seeing a really cool thread get started and not get finished or gets abandoned. I am highly frustrated about Photobucket being dicks and wanting to charge $400 a year for third party hosting. I have loaded a bunch of pictures onto imgur so we will try to continue this...
