4.3ltr TBI Motor Swap

I did this test. Looks like VCM.

 

It runs. I found out it was the fuel pump.

Very cool. I was starting to get worried...

 

I really like how it is so quiet and no fuel smell from the old leaking tank.

 

Good deal! Was the pump, itself, bad? Feel peppy enough for ya?

 

I used the old pump, it was running. That's why I didn't suspect it. With the new pump. you can tell it is more powerful.

Yes. It works much better than the Marine motor. I really like how it preforms.

 

It's done! It starts! It drives really good. I finally figured out why I couldn't get it started. All as I can say. If you do this conversion, make sure you use a ignition source that is not used by other circuits. I used the wiper circuit. I found my problem while the engine was running, I tried to use the wipers. Fixed it. Now it runs great and starts great. I'm really happy. Would I do it again? No. Glad it is done.

 

I'm glad you figured it out, i was beginning to wonder if you would use the dualjet and 229 intake.

 

Next time I'd get a passenger to film, but I like.

 

Excellent! Glad you got 'er dunn. I'll be curious if, in a few months and after a few off road excursions, if you'll still feel as though you would not do it again. Thanks for the write-up and breaking the trail, so to speak, for others.

 

Took it out for a shake down run. Check out the video in the trail ride section. jeep toss

 

Looks like its awesome! How do you like it?

 

Very nice. The throttle response, starts every time, no loading up at high altitudes. I also noticed that I could keep it in high gear and not have to shift as much. What a wonderful motor for a Jeep. :driving:

 

Awesome! Sounds like me and my old Nissan...

Glad it worked out.

 

Good to hear/read. I am building almost the same setup.

 

Redid the fuel lines today. I also replaced the fuel filter.





I also started working on new seat belts. I want to replace these with newer style shoulder belts.

and

Both have good selection, never tried them though.

 

I have the newer style seat belts. They came out of my 95' S-10. So far I have the re tractors mounted to the roll bar. I just need to mount the rest of the brackets.
