Ah good catch I musta skimmed over it
Any updates?
Unfortunetly, the tech working on this project is off for vacation this week. We will have more photos and updates next week!
[QUOTE=AutoPros;257660]Have a '99 that one of our customers wanted to remove the poor running 3.5L for a more popular motor to source parts for. Bring on the GM Performance 5.3L E-ROD! GM 4L60-E Transmission! GM Performance Supermatic Controller! Advance Adapters to Jeep Dana 300 Transfer Case! Retain A/C, Power Steering, 4WD, pretty much everything other than TOD. Still in fab process, but will update with photos as the progress continues.
Whats going on guys, I live out in Oregon and I just bought my first vx. I bought the car already planning on doing a v8 swap because I had a trooper a few years ago and know how weak these engines are. So I'm trying to basically figure out the best way to go. I see you guys went for the gm 5.3 but I was thinking more along the ford 5.0 and not sure what trans would a t5 fit? The dana case will be a definite. Also I would ideally love to keep TOD, I heard you can keep it if you use a smaller displacement v8, like a northstar or the oldsmobile 4.0. So what do you think is the best route the star or the 5.0? Thanks a lot.

All the wiring, ECM, TCM, etc is being ran and plugged in. Flex-A-Lite radiator, Derale slim dual-stage fan and hoses from an H3 hummer are being installed for the cooling system. More photos to come as we switch out the mock a/c compressor, alternator and power steering pump for the new ones. Transfer case and adapters come in the beginning of next week.
Excellent...
This HAS to be THE best new thread goin' on this forum! I've done a dozen engine swaps in my time, and it's clear to me that you guys are high-line pros! VERY tidy work, Boys! I've only got 87K miles on my VX, but I can already tell you that YOU guys WILL be seeing my VX for this engine swap! Hell, I might not even WAIT for mine to die...
I'm not trying to rain on your parade (all sounds very exciting) but....without full-time TOD is it really a VX, or a D-Max?
Sounds like you're ready for an AR-5 swap idgaf27... :)
