Thanks for the pictures sir! They are excellent. Very nice work on the exhaust routing. Maybe just by the angle of the pictures, but it looks like there is a decent amount of room around the manifolds and it could be possible to run this set up without the body lift. Thanks again for going above...

Awesome combo and great write up! Between Daubie and your builds right now, Im learning a ton on this swap! You’re lucky you got your Holley exhaust because they just discontinued it. You need to ask your buddy that works there what the deal with that is! So if I follow correctly, with the...

I like the crossmember you made as well. That stock bellypan takes up a lot of space. I also think you are absolutely spot on with the exhaust manifold reasoning. I’m all for reliability over an extra maybe 10 horsepower. The only reason I wanted the Holley’s were because they came with a y pipe...

Thanks for the recommendation Nashville. I’ll look into them. And yeah, I know the hemi is good for more than 300, haha, but it won’t be bouncing off rocks or anything. It’ll be ok with my little 31” tires.

Very nice set up Nashville. Any idea what the headers were originally meant for? Grand Cherokee/ Charger/ etc? I did know about the engine moving forward and needing to fab up a little ‘extension’ to get the shifter back in the stock floor opening. My build plan is a new Mopar 5.7 long block and...

Thanks for the quick replies. In what I’ve read about the swap, the 2 reasons stated for needing a body lift are for the exhaust and the transmission clearance. I’ll be using an AX15, which should theoretically fit since they came in TJs stock and the Holley engine mounts keep the engine just a...

Wow. Incredible job sir. Excellent work documenting and photographing it all for the rest of us dreamers too. Haha. I’m in money saving and parts locating mode right now for my hemi swap. I have the Holley mounts and was planning on using that with their headers and exhaust since they don’t...

Thanks to both of you guys for the quick reply’s!! I too, have read about the TJ’s only being PCI after 01, but I just wanted to make sure they never changed again. It seems to be very hard finding info on the 05-06’s in general, let alone for a hemi swap, even though on paper, they seem to be...

This is a great build with a ton of information! Amazing job! I know I’m late to the party, but you mentioned earlier that with the computer situation that the 05-06 TJ’s came with a CAN bus system? Am i misreading this because in my research for the swap on my 06 TJ manual trans, I have been...
