Sold my engine and signed a contract that states it has to be out by Dec 15. Also rented a Wrangler YJ for the duration of this build.
I work in Film production, so my schedule is quite hectic and my mechanical knowhow isn't anywhere near where it should be for this sort of build.
Hoping to get the needed support from this wonderful community.
I have a 2009 H3 3.7L (South African model).
Installing the 5.3 off a 2009 H3 (also a South African model).
On paper, this should be very straight forward. But I need to be careful. This is being done in Qatar, parts take up to 15 days to arrive so I'll need to have everything ready for installation before I begin.
Going through Chris' thread 'New motor', feel I'm in way over my head.
The 5.3 has 100k miles on it. I'm only getting the engine and torque converter, possibly also the downpipes.
Here's the initial list I made, I can really use some help identifying what I need to buy and what I could re-use.
- AC lines
- AC compressor
- accumulator
- AC condenser
- water pump
- power steering pump
- power steering lines
- ECU
- Oil Pan
- Wiring Harness
- Engine mounts
- Fuel pump
- Fuel lines
- starter
- intake manifold
- alpha rad hoses
- alpha MAF sensor
- Fuel lines
What do you guys think?
