Grand Wagoneer Cummins 4BT swap

Man you are spot on lucky to find someone with that much interest and enthusiasm. Wish I lived closer to TX cause I would bring him a 12v 5.9 and a 76 Cherokee Chief.

They just sent me a txt letting me know they were home and the engine is all tucked away in the shop. Love that shot of my Waggy in the background.

I agree and feel pretty fortunate. Hanging out with them on a road trip today, it is clear that they are just really into doing this stuff, and Aaron appears to be exactly the right guy for the job.

Aaron got held up a bit last week with a failed engine lift, and dealing with the weather, but things are rolling again this week. The engine/tranny/t-case came out yesterday. Look at all that room under there!

Very cool.
I'd really like to see a video of it running and driving after it's done.

Does he have a projected month when it will be finished? Just curious.

Nice, can't wait.
How well do you think a 4bt will perform in your Wagon?

[jMedia]

Can't wait for this completion. I looove 4bt. I really wanna find a way to trick the DMV to allow me to use one

Wow, great progress...

Did you say he's taping the process as he goes?
Please keep those links current...

Yup, sure did, and he has already taken about 200 pictures too. Not sure if you caught the link in the first post, but this is the first video that he put up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7tGXi7N9ZM

Watching your build with lots of interest as I am also putting a Cummins in my Jeep. Looks great so far, and keep posting lots of pictures please.

His original goal was 6 weeks from start to finish. We are still under 3 weeks and he has made pretty quick work of much of it so far. 6 weeks seems very aggressive to me, but I am just about the slowest SOB ever when it comes to work like this. We have also discussed a couple of little side modifications while it's there, so that may impact the timeline a bit. Considering I am taking up a bay in his shop, I doubt he wants to keep it any longer than he needs to!
