LS Swap Playlist:    • Jeep Wrangler LS Swap  

Im back in the garage working on the LS swap for my Jeep Wrangler!!
This is the 3rd video of the series where i show you all how i am swapping in a 5.3 Gen3 GM engine into my 2006 Jeep Wrangler LJ. This "Junkyard" LS was found on facebook marketplace. We got the engine, transmission (4l60E), and transfer case for $800. As you can tell, the LS engines are plentiful and work great for many types of engine swaps. In the first video, we tore down the Ls engine to make sure everything looked good and didnt need a full rebuild. Everything checked out, so we cleaned it up a tad and then dropped in a new cam. I went with a texas speed and performance stage 2 low lift truck cam. This cam will add around 40 hp and some nice torque. After all of that, we are back to this video where its time to finish up the engine portion of the Jeep Wrangler LS swap.
Ive mentioned this before, but the goal is to keep this engine swap budget friendly. The goal is to keep it under 5K, and i think we can.
To wrap up the engine, i installed a few new parts. A nice set of AMS Multi Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets are installed along with some super strong ARP Head bolts. We take a look at some sensors that will need to be added to help with the Jeep part of the swap. I plan on using the factory Jeep dash and gauges, the GM and Jeep ECM dont like talking to each other and adding the Jeep sensors is an easy way around that issue. After that, i topped it off with a budget ebay intake manifold that honestly looks really nice sitting ontop of this 5.3. It rivals the look of a FAST intake, however im sure the performance will be similar to OEM. To finish off the good looks, i added some ICT coil pack brackets to really show off this beautiful engine.
I hope you guys enjoy the video and i cant wait to start up the next portions of the build!
