Hi New here
« on: November 09, 2011, 09:51:31 AM »
 Not sure if there is a intro section couldn't seem to find it though I am told that's a guy problem so that's my excuse. I just bought a 2000 TJ Sahara with under 120k on it. Well I made a sbc YJ back in the day and now the urge has resurfaced though this time I want to put and all alum sbc prob an ls-1 in this TJ has anyone done this here? I would love pointers and connections for parts if so. If not a fabbing I will go lol.  :oThanks in advance.

Welcome to the site! Sounds like one heck of a build! Be sure to keep us updated in the build up section if you do go ahead with it :D

I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

its one of those things, domino effect... you start with an LS1 and everything behind it gets very un-happy. try the full drivetrain, engine tranny and t/case. but the axles will suffer as well. so be prepared to swap axles.
maybe go wheeling with it in stock form and see how that 4.0L really pulls. in 4-low the 6 has the bottom end torque to pull a house down  ;)

Ok thanks I did post about a rear dif with discs already but you think I can find it again a guy on here offered to make a ford 8.8 but we asked a price no I can't find the thread . I did have a yj  years back I drove the 6 wheeling a few times then went to an aluminum headed 350/350hp.

Ok cool just gathering odd and ends so far and have to get all the pieces I will gladly borrow any info on the swap thanks. Maybe if he needs some hands I could pass a wrench or beers and absorb some tips. Can't find him on the member list hmmm?
