[QUOTE="Wayne Reel, post: 421817, member: 17680"] I’ve put “ls” engines in all kinds of things. I use the quotes because most people aren’t actually using an ls. They are using an ly5 which is only slightly different than the ls. Including a tractor. Never been through a Jeep. I’d say my 17 JKU will be getting one in a few years. If you have a good mechanical background and aptitude then you can do it yourself. The best advice I can give you for any swap is, don’t just buy an engine. You’re going to go down the rabbit hole of piecing stuff together. Go to the you pick junk yard and buy an entire vehicle with the engine you want. That will give everything you’re going to need. Advanceadapters.com will most likely have everything to adapt to your factory trans. Painless wiring will be able to set you up with a harness to be able to plug everything in as much as possible without having to dissect your wiring harnesses. If any of this scares you and you have 15,000$ laying around pay a professional. [/QUOTE]
