Lol go for it! Its coming along nicely. Tyler is doing a great job. Waiting on the new oil pan for now and it should fire up. I can't wait!!

 

[PacificEd]

Welcome Brent. I sure hope you can make the trip to the Crawl. It will be a great place to meet the "guys and gals" of the SEC plus some MWC bretheren.

Tyler does great work and I've been following the build also. I can't wait to see that XJ go.

talk yourself out of the lt1 and into an lsx series motor i heard a great saying about lt1's one time "if i wanted to give them away i had to put full beer cans in the cylinders"

when you can pick up a 5.3 for less than 1k with a computer and harness, it reall sells itself

Agreed! LSx is where its at! Keep in mind though that in an XJ, you HAVE to run a LS style intake and front accessories. The truck stuff will absolutely not fit under the hood. The truck engines are cheaper, but by the time you spend all the time and money rounding up the parts you need to make it fit, the LS stuff ends up making more sense.

By the way, unless something just goes terribly wrong, Brent will be at the crawl... with his LS2 Powered, ORI strutted, RCV axle equipped, hardcore bad to the bone badass 2000 XJ!

So the 5.2 Magnum out of a Dodge Dakota wont fit?

Welcome Brent, sounds like you will have an awesome rig. Cant wait to ck out the build thread.

 

[Team Willys]

Yeah, it will, I was talking about the Chevy truck stuff. But... why would you go through all the trouble to swap in a 318 when you aren't really gaining anything. The 318s don't make much more power than the 4.0, plus they are heavier, and require just as much if not more work than the GM stuff. If I were going to stick with a Mopar engine, it would have to be a Hemi. Otherwise, GM all the way.

Welcome. Can't wait to see the LS2 done! :greensmok

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

see tyler now you have to come to the crawl because you cant let the ls2xj go on such a big trip without being there to make sure it does what you wanted it to!

 

[Ghost]

can't wait for the crawl!!! those that don't go are missing out on a great time!

Yes! and

Welcome aboard!

 

[jeepgeek2002]

[YJ-GENRAL]

[Ghost]

I think I can safely answer for Tyler. Hell NO! That is work! Unless he has a air over hydro bender. :laugh3:
