True !

The easy way to do it would be to drop it off and I'll call you when it's done. Pay by cash,check,card,hot wife doesn't matter to me.

I'm betting one of those methods would matter to your wife. Lol
I'm just collecting parts David Minton is doing the swap mainly. I'm sure I'll end up doing some things but I'm to busy working on my new "Taco Truck". Check out my build thread on it. I just posted it.

Well I loaded her up to take her and put her under the knife! Hated to take it with snow coming but the sooner its started the sooner its completed!! Should be a different jeep in a few weeks. Can't wait!

Let the tear down begin!
Makes me sad and happy at the same time.

There Never done, just keep Evolving!

I ordered the wrong oil pan the first time so hopefully this one will be right. I went with the Improved Racing kit which included the trap door baffle. Sure hope it keeps the oil pressure up like I'm hoping.

Atlas 27 spline input swap is complete and ready to be mated to its new TH-350/700R4 combo.

Parts delivery time!!!!

Better than nothing, but looks a little gimmicky. Might not take much grit or crude to lock those hinges. But, that's what filters are suppose to handle.

The quality and workmanship on that baffle is outstanding. I'm sure those hinges will work great

 

[lockedup5]

Engine and tranny pulled, motor mounts removed, frame cleaned up. A little bit of clean up and the new engine will be ready to mock up!!
Time to sell some old parts!!

You gunna keep it DBW or swap over to a DBC throttle body?

I'm going to keep it DBW. I got the pedal w it. Plus on this 2011 model motor I understand the DBW is drastically improved w like twice the cps ticks to keep things right w the vvt.

Doing a VVT delete? I'm always worried about those lifters crapping out.

Hadn't planned on it

Millions of trucks on the road with them I don't think I'd worry.

Kinda what I was thinking. Not really heard anything bad about it.

I had the AFM function on my mind, not VVT. My bad! I know they had lifter problems and oil consumption problems with some of the AFM engines, but that being a 6.0, it won't have it.

Carry on!

Yeah I made sure it wasn't a DOD engine.

Engine acid washed and new oil pan/baffle installed. I think #3Dcrawler is more proud/excited about this swap than I am. The engine was pretty dang clean to begin with but to acid wash it was just going above and beyond. Thanks David!

 

[lockedup5]

Radiator is ready to set in the grill except drilling four mounting holes. Got my angle brackets tigged on.

Did you remember to get a thermostat housing?

Mmmmm.... Didn't know I needed one. What do I need? That's what this thread is for. Ideas and information.

Look into the swivel neck options.
Google is your friend with those.
The factory neck may work but usually not.
