    I just don't want them to clearance through one another lol. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    Got the headers persuaded into place for good. Have as little as ~1/8" in some areas that I'm concerned about. But if later on I see that I need to clearance more I will, I'd rather do only what I have too than too much. . Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    No they have a poly bushing, same with trans. There will definitely be motor movement. See my next post for header clearance which is what I'm concerned about... Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    Yes it will be!

    88$ and an hour with a persuader made these eBay headers fit like a glove. Motor mounts still aren't done so don't judge them LOL Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    I'm tingling inside. Never did I think I'd be building a Comanche that has a Meth injected & Supercharged LS, long travel beams, in my own garage. This is a gratifying moment for me. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    Only reason I have it around anymore, I did all the fun prints and now I just make useful stuff! Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    Couldn't do much tonight, but had a few minutes to go to the garage and stare at it. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    Double post today, but got the engine sitting in it's custom mounts. They need some attention and bracing still. But a good foundation Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    Appreciate it! Just now I was prepping the engine and trans for mockup, making engine and trans mounts next week hopefully. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    That they do. In other news I got a new daily. Fully loaded, hemi, AWD, tow package, air ride...it has every selectable option excluding the grill gaurd This will be able to tow the MJ on occasion. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    Ha, just bought myself a close twin to yours on 12/26. I got it to daily and tow my MJ on occasion. How does it do with towing yours? Mine is a fully loaded limited with the hemi, air ride, 4x4 and all that. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    Thank you! Progress is happening, but at the costs involved it's a little slow. Got the adapter plate finalized Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    Following along, you probably don't know but I'm the guy he drove across the country for the wildernest topper. I live here in Socal, but I was in Georgia for school when the purchase went down. Let me know if you need any help, sorry to hear of his passing, John was great. Glad to see his family is continuing his legacy. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    Well a lot has happened in a short amount of time. The Audi Engine swap is off, the transmission spins opposite of the American transmissions. This obstacle is not hard to overcome, but would require a larger investment into an unproven design, meaning it would have sucked if I went through all that to make it work and in the end didnt like the swap. So I went back to the drawing board for all of an hour...and ended up coming home with some other fun parts... -Run-of-the-mill 5.3 -2009 Shelby GT500 Eaton M122 Blower...2.1 liters of F/I -2000+ C3500 4L80E -Full Mega squirt MS3X with a dual Wideband controller. -2.5x14'' Bilstein 9100 Coilovers I will most likely be ditching the 4WD TTB setup in favor of easier to manage 2WD I beams. Will be doing equal length I beams using 4WD TTB outers, and double swing set steering. The supercharger will run a little hot on my engine, especially considering it has an underdrive pulley on it. Water Methanol injection will be installed based on IAT and TPS ramping curve. But nearly all the time it will only be water injection pre-blower to keep the whole system cool. I will retain the factory ford supercharger bypass valve, so when the engine is Idling or near idle it doesnt use the boosted hot air, instead just pulls atmospheric air. This will help the low speed IAT's also. The Blower will sit on a Holley Lo-ram plenum base. I have already gotten the prototype adapter, and will be making the final one out of 1/2'' Aluminum. At this point the plan is to keep the D44, but install a locker and gears, and I kept the calipers and caliper brackets of the D30 before I sold it. I can pretty easily sell that axle locally to an XJ person for what ill have into it. The truck is going to be built around 35'' Tires so the D44 will do for the time being. You might notice Novak is not listed on the spreadsheet at all, and this is purposeful. On my last LS swapped MJ, the novak mounts worked, but I wasnt a fan of the stud design. And with a Roots blower on the LS, a shaker hood is the natural answer. So, I will be making custom engine mounts so the fins of the blower will be peeking out of the hood. The cooling system will have a 22x19x3 Radiator mounted in the gutted front crossmember, and the trans will be cooled by a dedicated cooler and fan mounted in the bed somewhere out of harms way. The electronics will all be controlled via the megasquirt, everything accept powertrain stuff. Lights, wipers, heater, and whatnot will just be fed power from a master keyed on relay. The parts I need to obtain is pretty extensive, see the spreadsheet for an idea on that. This project has gone pretty wild. I'm sure Ive missed some stuff. But ive got my hands full for now. I'm hoping to drive the truck in beginning of March '22 Buckle up.

    Luckily this engine has the tightest manifolds I've ever seen. See photo. And thanks! It's gonna be fun I bet. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    I'm leaning towards a standalone and manual swap at this point! Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
