4l60 with the factory np241? Not a hundred percent on the number but it's factory from a suburban. Keeping the factory rear, going solid axle up front. No reason you couldn't use the ifs tho

Ran into some issues at the house, finishing up some repairs and hopefully back at it sometime this week.

Do itttttt lol. I hope to have it running and tuned by next weekend. Cannot wait

I don't know why the pics keep changing sideways? Anyways she's not pretty yet but soon she will be.

MOTOR IS IN !!! Got her pretty clean Header clearance is gonna be awesome, used the manifolds for a quick reference. Clearance between the manifold and firewall are awesome

Update: The weather killed me yesterday, wasn't able to get to exactly where I wanted. The hose fwas frozen so I couldn't finish cleaning and painting the motor. But, the engine mounts are welded and painted. Oil pan was removed and cleaned, all gaskets were done. Boring stuff. I'll have pics...

Holy balls that thing probably moves. I plan to run a simple plate between the mounts. Should be sufficient, I hope lol

I wish I had the time money and knowhow to do a crazy swap like that. Trying to get this done with a house, wife, kid and another on the way is effing hard lol. But, I can somewhat see the light at the end of the tunnel. When the motor goes in for the final time this weekend I think things will...

Moved it forward because I decided on a custom rad and efans. I was originally gonna go with a clutch style fan and move it back, but like u said I wanted to keep the driveline semi normal

Couple final clearance shots.

Ya, I looked into it. The megasquirt v2 is only like $400, would be a cool project.

That would be wicked. This rig is gonna be a part time overlander so the 4l60 is gonna be easier.

Yessir, my original plan was an nv3500 and np241 case. I'm holding off to see how I like the auto, and like I said my wife can now drive it more comfortably

I also should mention, I have a 3" body lift. And while it's def possible to do this without one, it makes it a little easier.

So the motors go as follows: LS1 - 5.7 aluminum block, aluminum heads,car intake and accessory drive LQ9 - 6.0 iron block, aluminum heads, truck intake and accessory drive LQ4 - 5.3 iron block, aluminum heads, truck intake and accessory drive There are also drive by wire and Drive by cable...

Engine mounts before paint

You will notice the clearance is awesome on each side. Manifolds can be installed from the top or bottom. I'm waiting on the headers but they should be the same.

Some pics of the motor mounts, I just welded them up on weds so I'll snap some pics of them uninstalled.

Lol. I even looked at turning the 3.0, just not cost effective at all.

Firstly I'll introduce the truck, she's a 1991 LWB Montero with a 3.0 and 5spd. Love the Mitsu 3.0, has some power and has been reliable. After recently taking the 1600mi round trip journey to Overland Expo East, I came to the realisation that she needed an upgrade. After some research i...
