Moving to the dark side with Frank huh? Is it a 5.3L? I cant tell on these darn LS motors. they all look the same to me.
People that know me know I like to change stuff up, stuff like this is no new game to me lol Yeah its a 5.3 was going to go 6.0 but the money differance swayed me to the smaller motor. This will be a ultimate low buck swap going to see what all the ls hype is about. Building a hybrid suspension using some aje nd my own ideas also I've been in discussion with them about it =)
I would guess, you have to notch the shock towers to clear the engine, since your using a AJE front suspension? Or did I miss something?
I'm not going to be using the whole aje kit just the k member and lower a arms, as far as the towers I'm actually going to be replacing them with towers out of another car and doing something differant with the spindles and strut areas. I can't really go in detail but if this goes together like I have discussed with the guy at aje it may bring this front end swap into the budget of the average person.and gain even more room then a knotched tower but I will have to get the package from aje and the jig built for the towers before I can verify this will all work like it does on paper and in my head
Spent the afternoon with my plasma cutter and the mav muhahahahaha this will get me into the mock up phase
That must be the understatement of the decade. Your car has seen more change in the past couple of years than most of ours have seen in 40 years. Someone should put together a short slideshow of your CHANGES. Would be very interesting.
Done yet so I can add it to the vid?? LOL. [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=josKtRY0-Uk"]YouTube - Joe Dirt Changes[/nomedia]
