![]() I couldn't for the life of me find a dust cover for the transmission so I had to buy a dust cover from Mopar for a newer 2002-2008 Dodge truck part #52107753AC. I am using a Flex-o-lite 180 fan for the cooling and it doesn't have any problems. I got it off Ebay for $211.96 with free shipping. 1987-2004 Jeep Wrangler YJ Chevy V8 Conv Champion 3 Row Core Alum Radiator I got a bellhousing from a 94 dakota off of -Used Auto Parts Market I paid about $90 for it shipped from Florida. I was keeping my Manual NV3550 transmission and transfercase, everything stayed in the stock location. Once the engine was built and ready to go in I had already pulled the old motor out. Ok so now onto my build and how I did it. I picked up an engine mount kit from Advanced Adapters at a Jeep/4wd show at the Puyallup fair for a discounted show special price and it worked out great. I think that's what his name was.Īnyway the engine went together nicely outside of AA Midwest sending me the wrong heads from an LA block then had to get the right ones so that set me back a couple weeks. From Kelly, he has an Ebay store and has the best prices around on them. Put Harland Sharp 1.6 ratio non-adjustable roller rockers on it. Got a great deal on the heads from Kevin being a Veteran. Picked up a pair of new EQ heads from AA midwest in Las Vegas. 003 underneath the rockers for the valves to close all the way with my set up. ![]() ![]() Put a Comp Cams Performance Double Roller timing chain set, Mopar Performance Roller Lifters. Although it was expensive to have him do the wiring it was absolutely worth it. After he sees this write up he'll probably know exactly who I am lol.Īnyways I got their stage 1 cam for the engine, works with stock heads and springs, their budget headers which work and fit nicely, MSD ignition upgrade, their stock length hardened push rods, Radiator hose kit, some other stuff, and I had them do the wiring. I worked a lot with Backwoods Offroad and a big shout out to Evan over there for all the help he has given me. I used an Engine Tech rebuild kit, the pistons, rods, crank, block and cam bearings were all in great shape so did a refresh kit with new rings, rod and main bearings. I had already planned on rebuilding the engine because the engine was by itself, i never heard it run or anything and I planned on building it up anyways so do it right the first time and have a brand new engine to last for a while. To start off I picked up a 5.2 Magnum out of a 98 Durango. Please excuse the lack of pictures of the actual build my phone with the pictures got broken so I'm working on recovering them at a later time. I've built up a few vehicles from my 407whp 405wtq EVO 8, to my CTD with 1000tq, and pretty much every vehicle I've owned I've modified in some way to get more power, capability, handling what have you. I've been wrenching since before I could legally drive. ![]() Because everyone runs into different things during their builds I hope the things I ran into will help someone else with theirs. I've been told by a few of my buddies to do a write up for my build. ![]()
