Thanks, hopefully in the next year or so, as money allows, it will have a lift, wide track D44 axles and 33" tires. Then it will be a pretty solid offroad vehicle.

I wanted to do this swap on my jeep before I sold it. Seemed fairly simple.
1969 Chevy RCLB C10 350/TH400 SOLD
2007 Chevy RCSB 4.8 4x4 LS SOLD
2008 Chevy RCSB 5.3 4x4 LT SOLD
2010 Chevy CCSB 6.2 4x4 LT SOLD
2005 GMC CCLB DRW 6.6 Duramax 4x4 191,000 and counting
2013 FORD CCSB F350 6.7 Powerstroke 4x4
It's simple except we had some issues when we started a few years ago because people rarely retained the factory stick shift, most people went with the 4L60E

An automatic in a Jeep is a sin. The T18 is a dump truck tranny so it will take the power like a champ.
Intake tube will be gone soon. Wanted to keep it looking as factory as possible for the smog nazi

Good job! Cali is bad with motor swaps but I know they can be done. Did you have to get an adapter for the trans?
5.3, small cam, 918 springs, 7.4 rods, walboro pump, Full built 4l60, 2800-3000 stall, TB spacer, long tubes, cat delete, single 3" exhaust with Aero bullit muffler. Flaco tuned.
Yeah I got all the adapters from Novak and I used an old chevy Manual tranny bell housing. Also got the kit from novak adapters to convert to a hydraulic clutch...well worth the money.
