- Опубліковано 24 січ 2020
- Here's an update on Project Old Goat, my 1965 CJ5A Tuxedo Park edition.
This is a complete ground up build, and is essentially a new vehicle.
Major Components include:
- Throttle Down Kustoms early CJ5 frame
- MD Juan new tub, fenders, and windshield frame
- Dana 44 front and rear axles from a mid-70s J-Truck
- YJ leaf springs with a front shackle reversal (OME 2.5 inch lift springs)
- 4 wheel power disc brake conversion
- 5.3l Gen IV LS truck engine with an LS 9 camshaft
- SM 465 Transmission
- Dana 18 Transfer Case
- New in frame 15 gal fuel tank w/ Walbro 255lph in tank fuel pump and Corvette style regulator/filter
- Western Turbine wheels powder coated black w/ 31.5x15 BFG All Terrains
- New Bestop soft top and bikini top
- Original Tux Park front Bench seat and Bestop rear seat
- Ron Francis full wiring kit
- Warn 8274 winch to come
The 60/40 bench seats are scarce, good to see something different.
Nice I’m doing 4.8 in my 66.
Great build.
I remember having a top on my CJ 5 , it was nice , it's been without one for so long it won't fit any longer . I think it is old age .
So many questions. What radiator is that and what motor mounts did you use? Which trans? What gauges are those?
Radiator is from Be Cool, motor mounts are from Advanced Adapters, transmission is an SM465, gauges are from Speedhut. Sorry for the late reply.
Handsome jeep , 👍
this is so original
Stock axels ? What transmission and transfer case did you use
Axles are Dana 44s from a mid 70s Jeep J10 truck. Transmission is an SM465 adapted to a standard CJ5 Dana 18 transfer case.
Great Build, I’m looking to do the same to my 66, what radiator did you use?
I used a universal LS Swap radiator from Be Cool via Summit. Radiator and fan spacing is the biggest challenge with putting a V8 in one of these short nose CJ5s. You will have to shave the shrouding off the grill, and I also shaved the back of the headlight buckets and used a super thin LED headlight. I also used two small electric fans so the fan motors wouldn't interfere with the motor pulleys and intake. It'll take a bit of creativity to make it all fit right.
Hi.. Nice motor.. Your steering box is a saginaw from yj?
No, it's from an 1995 Grand Cherokee. The ZJ steering boxes are quick ratio boxes.
I am in way of this conversion.. Are you happy with ls9 camshaft?
For this build yes. The LS9 cam does rob power on the bottom end, but the Jeep is so light that it really doesn't matter. And if you want to rev it to 6500 RPM to get all the ponies you can. I did upgrade the valve springs and have the rev limiter set at 6500, but the motor should turn 7000 RPM if I wanted it to. I would not use this cam for a hot rod or a street car/truck.
Do you have torque at low rrm?
Yes, even with the LS9 cam, the bottom end torque is plentiful. This cam makes around 300 lb-ft of torque at 2500 rpm according to the testing done by Richard Holdner and peaks around 393 lb-ft at 5,100 rpm. Also, my 5.3 is an LY5 Gen IV block that runs at 9.9:1 compression vs. the LM7 Gen III block at 9.5:1 compression that Holdner used. The motor would easily support 39s or bigger with matching gears. And would be awesome in a mud or sand racer where you need to wind the RPMs out. With a set of rear paddle tires, it would probably pull a wheelie in the sand.
I want to do this swap to my cj5.. What flywheel you have use end what bell housing?
The flywheel and Centerforce clutch came from Advanced Adapters. The bell housing is a stock aluminum GM bell housing for the SM465 with the factory provision for a hydraulic clutch.
Hi what header do you have?
I used inside the frame rail headers from Advance Adapters since I was using their motor mounts. They fit well, but don't leave much space for the steering shaft. I had to get creative to make the steering work.
wow I have one bro
What did you have to do for drive shafts??
I ordered custom length drive shafts from Tom Woods. The rear is a double cardan shaft and is 14.5 inches long. The front uses standard 1310 u joints and is around 33 inches.
@@badgoatoffroad Thank you! Beautiful Jeep!
Do you have any photos how close is the steering?
I used a double u-joint and two single u-joints with a couple of carrier bearings to route the steering shaft under the motor mount. You will need to mock yours up and see what it'll take with your configuration.
Like the Jeep, I'm building a CJ7 with a Fitech setup too. Check out my channel, would love to hear your comments and suggestions.
how much u spend for all
Too much.
see my jeep to.. LOL
we need perfect homemade bro :D
What motor mounts did you use?
I used the mounts from Advanced Adapters and welded them to the frame once we had the motor where we wanted it. The motor is shifted about 1" to the driver side to allow room for the front driveshaft.
