i thought jeeps only came with 2.5s and 4.0s from the factory.






nice build man

 

you can put a vortec on anything if you carry over the heads, a vortec 5.7 is still a gen 1 SBC

you talking about the holley commander?

 

Nope-- bought them both from chrystler.
the V8 is from a niner, the "5.7l" is from a late model grand cherokee hemi (the hemi sticker is separate)

I'm thinking of ditching the v8 emblem... different font, slightly differnet color.. looks a little cheezy,

 

oops, titans are 5.6L

 

SICK!!! i love the way it sounds, reminds me of my blazer.

 

Thanks-- the side pipes really make a differnece (also, they're far less of a rock magnet where they are)

 

what's pro-jection? Never heard of it.

 

WAAYYYYYY Too much. I started this project because I had a v8 "hanging around" ... that was many many dollars ago. Like anything else, you can do it expensively--- buy all new parts, custom made, etc... or do it for far less, if you scavange the junk yards, and fabricate.


Hours? How 'bout years. The project took a total of 4.5 years.

 

Yeah, I think that's the one.

 

that things sounds awesome!!! i want one!

 

Thanks--- I may actually be putting it on the market. I'll shoot you a pm if I do

 

I think it sucks...............................Because it's not in my XJ...LOL!! Nice work, a but load of time I am sure..Looks clean,done right, so carry on and enjoy..

 

lol.. thanks

 

those systems are pretty good, but if I were you I would go searching through car craft, there are plenty of good FI TBI systems, for lots cheaper than the holley commander

a budget idea could also be to find an early 90s late 80s Suburban or Silverado with the TBI FI system and use that as a donor

Vortecs are hard to find but the TBI systems are a dime a dozen, and you can find them on Caprice/C1500/Vans and a whole slew of other vehicles

Good luck man. Again that install looks amazing

 

You should check out a company called mass flo. They make really nice kits.
