    I have wheeled an xj for a while and do quite wel with it. But ive always wanted to do a grand. Perticularly a wj. Well i got a 99 limited in great shape, minus motor and trans, 4.7, for $800. So i figured it would be wise to just do a swap. I love the ls series engines and am fairly fimiliar with working on them. I saw a build thread on here and am very interested. And will shortly be doing this.

    Im lookig for information from anybody who has done this swap and could give me any more info.
    Im probably using a 5.3 with a few bolt ons. Either a 4l60e or 4l80 depending on what i find. Any information or help would be appreciated.

    Google 5.3 jeeps pirate 4x4. Tons and tons of info, but there's lots of crap too. But well worth the long read IMHO. I'm planning a 5.3 swap in my zj right now too

    I guess the big problem im facing is i would like to keep as much of the jeep functioning. I know pretty much if i pull the stock computer nothing in the heep will work. So its kinda like running a standalone and tying it into the stock computer somehow. Thats the part that i get lost. Got to love the wj everyhing runs through the pcm on this thing.

    Downtowncb's the polar bear kept the stock jeep stuff, check out his thread. His was an obd2 zj so I imagine the wiring will be a little similar

    the 5.3 jeeps thread on pirate will be your best resource for keeping your stock gages and speedometer working, its not that difficult, you need to keep the stock PCM in place as well as the GM PCM and run your signals to gages ect through the stock one.. its all been done and written up its just up to you to find what you need..
