looks real good thought about puttin a 4bt in mine but the 351w was already in the yard along with the early bronco under carriage

 

love it want to help me maybe start on my 90 4runner hahaha

 

Very Very cool !! - Id kill for shop space like that.

 

Nice looking work. That is keeping the wheels turning for me...thinkin about dropping one in my XJ. One of these days.....

 

Did you need that much engine lean for it to work? Nice looking rig though, would be a blast.

 

The engine tilt is the factory Chevy adapter 10* tilt, (Who knows what the GM engineers were thinking) The tranny pan is level and when I change the oil the drain plug on the oil pad is the lowest point on the oil pan so I get every drop.

 

They tilted it for clearance on the "doghouse" and it also had to do something with the bell housing.

 

put in a set of POD's, a 3200 Gov spring, fuel pin and took second gear out of the transmission
Going to try and gather everything for a NV4500 setup in the mean time I'm going to blow up one more 700R4

 

Sorry for the Newb questions .... My son grenaded the 4.0L in my YJ so I am trying to find the best/easiest DIESEL replacement !!!

Is the 4L80e a better trans for this engine ???? What are the approximate horses you are puttin out with your engine mods and are they too much for the 4L80e ??? And what T-case did you use in your conversion ??? From the research I have done I understand the Dana 300 is a easy swap ( ie.. advance adapters makes the adapter from the 4L80e to Dana 300 ) ....

Did the engine you bought come with the adapter from 4bt to Turbo400/4L80e ???


BTW.... Your swap looks and sounds awesome !!!

 

nice job and you have a killer rig.
