RE: 3.9 to 5.9 Swap
Just a few more things to do:
Mount bolt/nut each side
AC onto engine (Easy as PIE)
Throttle Cable from v8, need one of those!
two bolts which I just can't get in, because of the bracket....
Starter
tranny wiring from engine(half done.)
Attach Fan
Radiator/Translines
Put new battery in (825 CCA or 1050 amps!)

RE: 3.9 to 5.9 Swap
Finally got everything running all good, the 5.9 is in. Transmission now works! Everything Just about. Just a few things on my end I got lazy about...
Before removal
Before removal
Before removal
Removal of Air hat/Ac/Power Steering (Next 2 pictures includes)
All of the tools/Computer ect... sitting around.
v6 on it's way out!
v6 on it's way out!
v6 on it's way out!
V8 ready to go in!
Me beside engine
A friend who helped beside engine
Showing weights on flex plate (Needed for this swap)
Empty Engine bay...
V8 seated well almost!
V8 IN!
No more pictures because well thats all there is to show, but maybe a video soon!
Couple of problems I ran into:
Harness on my v6 was altered for some reason PDC didn't work for the transmission. (I had to wire it myself but took me a bit to figure it out.)
Crank Sensor (Mine was either dirty or broken.) Just took the one off the v6.
All new Plugs NGK v-power. New Cap and Rotor.
Soon to come :
A better exhaust....
Hella Lights! (I already have these...)
Fog Lights
Electric Fan to cool a bit more
Maybe new rims and Tires
3inch body lift! Maybe?
Thats about it for new, but it is already a beast. I have 31's and can squeal them on the pavement. If there is a big of gravel... (Yea 31's and 3.55 gears don't go that good together... )
