    Jeep Liberty V8 Swap Megathread

    It came without. Not only that, but I believe that the spark plugs weren't installed until fairly recently and that bolt looks similar to a couple bolts that were shipped with the intake manifold, although a different set of bolts were used in the end. I need to some digging to find out if...

    No, this will not stop me from completing this, but any and all progress will be on hiatus until this gets straightened out. I've come too far and I'm already too deep into this to turn back now. If y'all only knew.

    At first I thought that something must've gotten dropped into the intake somehow. However, on closer inspection it seems that a bolt was left inside the cylinder at the manufacturer's facility. There's no way that bolt made it through the valve without scoring the hell out of it. The bolt...

    Jeep Liberty V8 Swap Megathread

    Engine started. Ran fine for about two seconds, then BANG. Drained the oil pan, it's full of water. One spark plug is ripped in two. I have no idea. I feel like I've been slammed against a brick wall.

    Modded headers finally finished and mounted. Transmission inspection plate installed. I'm only waiting on the oil dipstick tube and a couple more sensors to arrive. Throttle body was delivered today, but I need to get an adaptor fabbed up to attach to the '08 HO Intake manifold. Going to...

    How long ago did you do the wrap?

    I'm not sure how I am going to approach the issue of heat dissipation. It may not even be necessary if the tubing is routed correctly. The only area of concern is that the one of the tubes on the drivers side is about 1" from the steering column and I've already decided to reroute it further...

    Header modeling is coming along better than expected. Still could've saved myself a nice chunk of change by going with a kit instead of hacking apart a perfectly good piece of hardware. The lesson to be taken away from this is don't trust your eyeballs, trust the measuring tape. What's that old...

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Definitely a large undertaking, but I'm closing in on the finish. I'm hoping, HOPING, to be finished by the end of next weekend.

    I bought the 4.7l HO for my V8 swap from them. Very easy to work with and the engine arrived in tip-top shape.

    The suspense is killing me. You have no idea what it's like to be so close, yet so far away. The good news is that I am only waiting on some small parts to arrive and that they will be here next week. Yeah, could've used a bit of clean up. Oh well. Maybe next time. :emotions33:

    I don't think that the engine is going to go anywhere, but your mod recommendation makes too much sense to ignore. Better to be safe than sorry! And it would only take a few short minutes to weld the washers in. If anyone else out there sees something wrong, or has a better approach to what's...

    Nope, nothing was cut. Those are the stock KJ horns. Now that you mention it, I'm thinking that it might be a good idea to reinforce that area. Thanks!

    I could've cut and reused the shroud to work with the 16" slim fan that I purchased, but since I was able to move the engine back enough that I no longer needed to cut anything, I can now attach it to the front as a pusher fan.
