Actually the wiring for that v10 engine would be close to the exact same as swapping in a 318 V8 in the early year wranglers. I think the tough part on that swap is finding clearance! HaIf you can do THIS you can do anything.
I'd do the Viper V10 long before the JK V6.But there are plenty of LS swaps available.You can put a Viper V10 in a TJ if you have the money and patience.
Your TJ has to meet the emissions regs for the year it was produced regardless of the engine in it.Thanks for the feedback.. does anyone know the smoging parameters of this swap?
I wouldn't. The Viper V10 is horribly expensive, very long, hard to deal with, and rare, very rare. The higher horsepower JK V-6 is common, cheap, and a much better swap due to cost and availability with a far superior transmission if the auto is acquired with it. The only hard part of the swap is picking up an output for the vehicle speed sensor since that is done at the wheels in the JK.I'd do the Viper V10 long before the JK V6.
I personally would still look into other swap options, that are PCI bus, but thats just my opinion.I can purchase a 2015 Wrangler 3.6 4x4.. engine,tranny and transfer case with 38k miles for 2k.. worth it?
I believe you have to pass the smog for the year of the vehicle, but it does vary from state to state.Thanks for the feedback.. does anyone know the smoging parameters of this swap?
