I am maybe late with comment but for your wiring harness, Current Performance will do a "plug and play" to your original Jeep fuse box and the LS ECM. Even you original dash gauges will work. It is a little pricey but worth the headaches and delays. I am also learning more LS stuff as I see your videos. Thanks for your time giving all the details.
29:40 those studs are where your factory carpet attaches to the firewall so you can remove it easily! Great series of videos! I'm here from your thread WranglerTJForum.
Enjoyed this series. I’m in the middle of swapping a 6.0 into my 98 tj. Nice to see the steps you had to go through to get it running. Tip on the faded flares, a heat gun brings them back to black.
@@eduardoloya9437 I did the frame modification to make fit. Close but room. Mine never came with A/C, but kept it in the idea of possible adding A/C if I can find the parts and not too much of a headache. Liked the idea of a factory ac pump. It is in a bad spot. Depends on your suspension, any upper suspension links on the passenger side will hit it. Im going with a 3 link, upper on driver side. Check out Novak Conversations for pictures of how to cut and flip the section of frame if you would like to keep it.
I just bing watched your entire ls swap. Great job and I will be referring to it many times as I narrow down what my final plan will be. Will you be giving a breakdown of pricing and locations for all the adapters and parts you had to put on?
Awesome videos, just watched them all. Thanks for shooting, editing and posting as that is more work on top everything else... I'm hoping to do the same swap in an 05 TJ down the road so researching now. Looking forward to seeing with all the A/C, etc. done. Thanks again - really helpful.
Glad you enjoyed, hopefully getting AC this week and maybe get it inspected to do a “final” video although I’ll never be done tinkering with this thing!
Longhorn, I own the same exact Jeep as you and I'm looking to LS swap mine as well in the next few years. Your series was super informative and I'd really like to see an update on your build! If you ever see this - it'd be so cool if I were able to get some insight on where to even start.. but um.. when's the next build?
Well if you watch the series from start to finish I know you'll think of where to start, definitely need to find the engine/trans and plan out budget, timeframe, tools needed, etc. next build is probably when I retire and my kids get older, this was a labor of love and a dream of mine, one day I'll get a new dream with cars but right now it's staying fit, working on my golf game, and trying to stay sane balancing work and family!
Hi, I know it’s been a while since your swap was complete. But you never showed the finished product of your gas pedal installation. I’m in the middle of my swap and that’s one of the things I have not figured out yet, so I was curious what you did. Could you send a pic thank you. Great video
Sorry for the late reply. It took some work from what I remember, I think three mounting bolts with the old GM pedal and you just have to wing it to install. What’s your email and I’ll try to send a pic.
man just when I think I want to tackle a project like this I see a video like this of all the random crap that needs done and it sucks the fun out of it
it was not for the faint of heart but I was awfully proud of the effort, it definitely took dedication but was so fun! Hopefully if you tackle it, the videos will help you make it smoother than my journey went!
@@longhorn8459 thanks man. I've done engine swaps before but always in "like for like" cars. Fitting the V8 in the Jeep frame, relocating accessories, the wiring, ECM, cooling, etc etc etc. I did look at the Novak website after you totalled up all your costs. THey basically have a part or kit to do all aspects of this swap and make it complete with newer, easier updates. Makes it significantly more expensive though as you noted
Do you still have the Jeep and how is it doing? Would you consider a quick update video? I rebuilt my 4 banger(Think you commented on one of my videos). I am still considering doing an LS swap one day. Great info here! Thanks again!
Hey whats up, good to hear from you! I do still have it, I actually worked on it the other day which I can explain in a video, has to do with the fuel level sender for the LS and why it's necessary to pass inspections (at least in TX). I can't promise how quickly I can get this done but suffice to say I would still recommend doing the swap but thinking back, it's a ton of work, a true labor of love and not cheap! But, I wouldn't trade my unique jeep for the world!
@@longhorn8459 I am considering doing this swap in the future when I actually have a different daily driver. Concerning the computers. Did you keep the Jeep computer along with the LS computer? If so what all is it used for? Thanks
@@ForceBuilt I did keep the jeep computer, I think the cluster still needs it to run unless you're going with new gauges, not sure what else the jeep computer runs but it certainly had a lot plugged into it! I'd suggest asking Novak if they have any strong opinions but it wasn't too bad to keep both. The wires are messier than I'd like but such is life.
Any luck with the a/c? I had the original LS denso mounted but not interested in notching the frame. Will probably switch to the r4 like you did. Also do you think there is anyway to switch the check engine light in the dash over to the LS ECM? I asked Novak when I bought the tachometer emulator from them and they said they would get back with me but that was months ago.
I have successfully installed the a/c, planning an update video soon. Check engine light, no, the jeeps lights up from the pcm so you'll have to go separate light, I am planning on removing the cluster and cutting the light off so it's not on constantly. Also, did you know they sell an emulator that includes cruise control that uses stock TJ steering wheel controls? I didn't but they do, I'm planning to exchange my emulator for one of those. Let me know how else I can help.
Nope and I called them when I ordered, wish they would have told me. It’s not on there site either that I can find. I haven’t installed it yet and it’s still sealed in the bag, hope they will let me swap it. If I cut the light out of the cluster would it be possible to run a light/led from the gm ecm and glue it to the cluster where the old light was? Any idea what wire would send 12v with mil on?
@@SpcStanley Maybe on running the light and gluing it, I'm not sure and I haven't taken off the cluster to really look into it, haven't found many detailed videos on how the lights work. You mean 12v with mil on from GM? My Novak harness came with two wires that I hooked up to a small red light and installed it where I showed in the video, I'm sure you can find the pin outs from the GM wiring diagrams if you're doing your own harness.
Yep 12v from gm with mil on. I have the original LS harness but it sounds like Novak figured it out for you so it sounds like it can be done. I’ll find a pin out and see how it works.
Nice job on the swap, I did the same on a 2001 but I didn't put on CATs. can you tell me what brand CATs you used and are they still working or have they broken internally? I ask as I am wanting to add them now to get rid of the unburned fuel smell and I'm trying to go with aftermarket for price but I'm worried about them lasting.
Great series, thanks for sharing. Do you have a source/PN for the starter? I bolted an AC Delco into my 98TJ today and it hangs about 1" past the back of the Novak header.
@@dthorsrud7414 no I never did, but I think novak has an emulator that will work. I just drive it now but really don’t work on it, there are many more things I’d do to it but just don’t have the time anymore to mess with it
I love the build series and awesome work with the engine swap! Just had a quick question do you think the dana 30 and 35/44 thag you have are strong enough for a bug V8 ?
Runs great! I don’t drive it often, mainly with kids to get donuts or going to sports but everything works. I don’t regret the choice of really anything. I wish it was a newer four door with 5 seats since I have a family of 5 but that’s my only complaint, the TJs are just so small.
Yes the joys of recording as I spew things that don’t make sense, I should have edited that out! You do need the right sized battery to fit vs the suburban sized battery which is what I was thinking when I said that.
Yes I did. I would recommend bending some wire in the shape of what you need and then going to autozone and have them help you find something that works, there won’t be an out of the box solution. I found the shape I needed but it was too long on one side so I had to cut.
Had to use GM pedal since it's drive by wire and is electronic, vs drive by cable where you can use either pedal but probably would leave Jeep pedal in there.
@@longhorn8459 97 - I've been doing some research but can't seem to find a detailed list. Maybe I'm just spoiled because of lt1swap's breakdown of the GM harness haha.

@@longhorn8459 with the Novak wiring upgrades, did your TJ OBDII work for scanning? Starting my checklist for a 5.3 here in GA and still have 2 more years of emissions on the 98.
@@perry73779 it won’t really work, it’s active and you can plug it in but it still thinks the engine is missing so it throws codes like crazy. You’ll have the LS obd2 end that you’ll run somewhere and that’s what they’ll scan, I ran it to stock location and put the old Tj just up in the dash but I don’t use it.
@Longhorn84 Awesome video sequence. Really helps put into perspective how many things there are to take care of. None individually that hard, but just a lot going on. Of that 8-9k, how much was the motor & tranny from the yard?
The jeep speedo runs off the transfer case which I kept from the jeep so it runs like stock. The LS computer gets its signal from the transmission which is GM to GM so that’s all good as well.
Have you tried on a TJ? They are a PITA and I wasn’t going for perfection! One day as I said I’ll probably tear the whole thing down and paint but for now, I just wanted to improve the faded grey fender and mission was accomplished!
Longhorn84 yep, took them all off when some bad jumper cables melted one of them😂 yeah I agree it is a pain, but I zipped all those tiny screws out pretty quick. Now I think about it, that probably is the better way to go
Enjoyed your videos. With that said , your muffler shop sucked. Shit welds and that front cat should of been tucked up more. Like ALOT more. Didn't see it in your videos but did you do anything with your engine internals? Cam, Timing chain etc?
Agree on the muffler, you get what you pay for, there are leaks and one cat already went bad. Nothing internal, at that point when I got the motor I wasn’t sure I’d actually be able to accomplish the task so I didn’t want to spend time and money on the internals. In hindsight I certainly wish I would have juiced the cam a bit and refreshed the internals but one day I hope to tear it all apart and actually restore the jeep.
@@longhorn8459 Yeah, I understand. I have a 97 TJ (original owner) and have a 4.6 stroker that I'm not satisfied with. She's on tons and 40s now and its just shit for power.
