Since we are doing pics here are mine




I remember when I was first dropping the LS2 in the Jeep I thought about how much fun it will be to leave the ricers in the dust. But my build was 100% for rock crawling so I did coilovers, etc. My engine has 510hp and 490ft/lb of torque. It will flat out move but with the suspension setup for the rocks it lifts about 8 inches when I nail the throttle on the road. With that and the torque steer it is really hard to do a holeshot and stay in a straight line.

In the end Im really happy with the swap. I got it for the torque and it has worked out well.

But to be drag racing at a track....I find that absurd. If you want to be different at the track put that engine in a slammed VW bug or something.

That engine in a Jeep is better suited for this:

Check the wheelie at 1:10, my fiance' was scared but never said a word, LOL.

A V8 swap is a V8 swap. If we all had the same junk what would be the point. Props

On my next Jeep (probably a salvage title JK) I will keep the stock engine and just gear the crap out of it. Junkyard 1 tons, custom suspension, coils or struts, Atlas 4sp, Mastercraft seats and tube doors. Simple.
