Hey @Chris, Grant must have got this thing running and disappeared with it into the back woods.

Well it's good to see you're still alive Grant! Had me worried for a moment there.
Another jeep? That makes, what, four now? Lol
Also I may or may not have bought another Wrangler about 10 days ago
Tell us more about this other mystery jeep. Is it the new likely candidate for the smaller diesel engine? Another RHD?
Can't wait to see this thing run! Great work Grant!Hey TJer's
Finally got the motor mounts finished. That took way longer than expected but they are done and the V2403 is in! I started work on the AW4 automatic transmission mount and crossmember support, and like everything else on this project, it's taking me way longer than I expected to get done but I'm making progress!
Let me know what you think!

How long has it been out of action for? I'll bet you're itching to drive it! We're coming upon Summer here after all.
I started taking it apart last October .
Hopefully you'll have it done in under a year
Yeah maybe by July or August, honestly if I could get the transmission mount finished and the Eco Box figured out, the rest is pretty easy I think. I just keep running into annoying little problems that take a while to solve or just fabrication that takes me way longer than I anticipated to solve!

And there within lies the issue with engine swaps. Everyone thinks it's going to go nice and smooth, even when it's a well documented swap like the LS swaps. However, you always end up running into issues with the "little things", that end up taking way more time than you would have initially expected. That's my experience at least.
Nice! Looks like it's coming along slowly but surely. You're basically a trail blazer with this swap, so it makes sense that you're having to figure stuff like this out along the way. I suspect it's going to be a lot easier for you (and others) going forward with this swap, as you'll know the ins and outs next time around.
