DETAILED BUILDS

Every build is unique, but we have collected decades of notes, do's and don'ts for specific models and are prepared to take care of your conversion. Here are just a few projects from our portfolio. This page is evolving, so if you don't see a particular combination you're looking for, give us a call; we just might have already done what you're hoping to accomplish.

Mike's 1988 Jeep YJ

Mike's YJ was the perfect project for a sleeper Jeep. This Jeep got a low mileage used combo motor and transmission, both native to each other. It's got a stock 5.3 liter and 4L60E with a custom tune that really woke up the whole powertrain! This jeep also has a NP241C transfer case with a Slip Yoke Eliminator kit. We converted it from manual steering to power steering with heavy duty tie rod and drag link.

Chuck's 2009 Jeep JKU

This JK received a low mileage L96 6.0 liter engine backed by a TR-4050 transmission and an Atlas 4 speed transfer case.

Tim's 2004 Jeep LJ

Tim's LJ sports a rebuilt LM7 5.3 liter with upgraded camshaft and flat top pistons. The 4L60E was rebuilt with loads of upgrades using a Sand Hollow Off Road shifter. We rebuilt the 231J case with 6-pinion planetary, gears and a wide chain.

Amanda's 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

This Waggy received a low mileage LQ4 6.0 liter. The 4L80E was rebuilt, upgraded and paired with a NP241C transfer case. We also added a 4" Skyjacker suspension lift at the time of the swap to comfortably fit the 32x11.50r15 tires on factory wheels.

Brad's Flatty

This Willies CJ2A (with an MB grill) has a beautifully tuned, mildly built fuel injected 283 V8. It has a T98 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case.
