It's Time to SUPERSIZE Moby - MoTech 6.2L LS Jeep Motor Swap

this is great!!! my 2010 gets paid off soon and then LS here I come!! can't wait to hear it fire up! :beer:
 
Thst is where my jeep is at right now. Ive told everyone if you are questioning 5.3 vs 6.2 go with the 6.2. I know the hemi felt like it could use a few more horses on a few occasions

Curious to find out what you think of your gearing!!

Having just got my Jeep finished up and out on the road, I am finding that the gearing might be a touch too much (5.38) here as well. In 4lo mine feels really over geared, almost like I am using an atlas in super low. I need to put more miles on it, and get some off road time in as well before I make up my mind for sure if I like the 5.38's on my setup. Maybe your 6 spd tranny will make it nicer for you than my 5 spd does for me!!!

I'm curious to find out too! :D Hopefully soon! As far as 4lo goes, we specifically went 3:1 instead of 4:1 like the rubicon transfer case has so maybe it won't feel as low as your setup. We'll see.

Yeah, we probably should have at least given it a good cleaning, but we thought about it a little too late. :doh:
 
Cindy- I keep forgetting to ask if you will be able to keep the dual batteries with your new setup. Hard to tell for sure from the pics, but it kinda looked like you might have the room.

It was close, but the dual battery tray just didn't quite fit. We ended up installing a factory tray for now.

We aren't. Currently, we just have our bypass shocks setup so that the 3rd and final one acts like an air bump.

Eddie, if the third isn't set up as a bump stop what would it be used for?
Thanks
