Knuckles the WJ
Something a little different on this build. I’ve had this Jeep for a long time and it’s gone through many stages but the current one I can say is the one I’m the most excited about. My Jeep has been through stock axles with a long arm suspension to Jk Rubicon axles, and on to one ton axles with coilovers. One area I have never paid much attention to but this winter I took a big jump. So I decided to pull the stock 4.7l V8 with 300k on with ran perfectly in the quest for some real horsepower. After seeing a few Hellcat powered JL’s running around I knew forced induction is a must. I’ve done a lot of LS swaps so that was gunna be the heart of the Jeep but to keep up with the hellcat power I did some research and decided a ZL1 LSA blower was gunna be the hot air blower to get it done.
So here we are.

Can’t wait to get it back on the trail!
Sure was a challenge to make the PS cooler, transmission cooler, and heat exchanger all fit in that tight of spot but I got it done!

Mount for the transmission cooler, power steering cooler, heat exchanger.
I wasn’t 100% happy with the centering of the engine so I decided to cut the brackets and reposition them.
