I've been working on swapping a 5.3 into my CJ7. Thje Jeep is an 85 so I am keeping it smog legal. I drove it home yesterday!! :wings: :wings: I will be driving it today so I can get a couple of drive cycles on it and double check all the codes but I love the way it came out so far. I have a referee appointment next week!!!

I'll post some up this weekend. Still not completely loomed and cleaned up. I'm waiting until I get through the referee for that.

I'm pretty happy and have been enjoying just being able to drive it. Lots left to do but the biggest hurdle is over!

Thanks. It actually looks a little better now. It's cleaning up pretty well. And it runs great, a very worthwhile swap to this point, I can't wait to get it off road!!

Thank you! Front drive shaft in today, I had to "massage" the trans pan for clearance, then I'll finish the cage. I see a shakedown run in a couple of weeks!!
