      Both the Women are outstanding, Bec's arms, WO, Yes she is outstandingly fit and a great Welder and Fabricator, if I didn't own 3 Jeeps, a F250 460ci 1 ton extended cab 4x4, and my pride a 76 K5 Blazer small block 400ci stoked to 430ci, that fits well in Johnson Valley, home; I would get a 4x4, just to hang. Good job on the Jeep and keeping fit and our attention, really nice LS

    I have installed 5.9L RAM engines in 4 TJ's. It's as close to plug and play as you can get using a RAM ECU. Little bit of exhaust work, relocate the front motor mounts, a V8 radiator and your on the road. Plenty of power and very reliable. Oh my picture here is the first one I did back in 2010 and I'm still driving it. Used the original jeep 5-speed and upgraded the t-case to a 242j from a WJ. Chev LS is a great engine but a lot of extra work and expence.

    Guessed it was an LS. Perfect for the LJ's size and weight. Love the sparkle touch Bec! Coupled with the hose and pulley replacements it looks ready to make some HP and Torque.
    I would suggest doing Lizard Skin on the tub and firewall since you have it apart. They make both heat and sound deadening.
    Shop time videos with Bec and Chris are great for the channel. Keep them coming.

    Chris and/or Beck - are you going to swap out the OEM fuel tank for an extended range fuel tank to increase the range of the LJ? Interested to see what can be done for a 2 door versus a 4 door as far as space underneath. Otherwise engine looks sharp, wonder how it will do on the dyno once everything is back together.

    I replaced my 2.5l with complete drive train from 2001 suburban. The TJ is so much more capable now. Hemi swap was not on the budget. My TJ only had 61k on clock. Sold parts from it and was + $600 after swap. Enjoy the power change Bec. Oh and change out the oil pan. It's dangerously low...
    Also frame will need to be notched for A/C to have clearance. Chris can handle that

      I have a 3.6l in my jeep and it smokes my old 4.0 in the power spectrum. Id never want a hemi, too heavy, id only consider a 5.3l/6.0 lt but the jeep is only 10 years old, so maybe when im old. A short jeep with a hemi creates lots of balance issues, i do miss my tj to bits tho

    Bec , you are going to want to swap your drivers side valve cover for an updated one. I seen yours had the round hole in the baffle which is an old version and was the main cause for oil consumption problems. I replaced mine with the new updated valve cover which has a square hole in the baffle with deflectors for the PCV baffle. It fixed my oil consumption issues on an 05 5.3.
