2007 Jeep Wrangler JK Build-Up

Sorry about the delay between updates.  The engine is mounted with the tranny and t-case bolted in as well.  We have fabbed some mounts for the Hemi, and will be coming out with a nice production mount that will be available for sale soon.  The clearance is tight, we are hugging the steering shaft pretty tight, about 1/2″-3/4″ from the hood and will have to trim the battery tray to get it back in.  The transmission we used requires a different mount for the transmission and t-case shifters.  We also had to fab a plate for the new transmission mount.   We were able to use a lot of stock hoses and lines.  Right now we are working on getting some custom transmission cooler lines produced, a new fuel line, new A/C lines, and some radiator hoses.

The biggest delay from today to finish is going to be the headers.  I am going to write another entry later today about the headers, because it is a big issue with this conversion.
