LS in a Jeep JK

I stand corrected. I never had a smog license; so I wasn't completely sure what the laws were in our state (and I was too lazy to research it). Thanks for the 411! :beer: Hopefully, you can guys get it legal. Just report the VIN @ 81,000 miles - that way it's out of any and all emission warranties. :)
I think some of are Smog Laws are BULL and the Warranty should be up to the owner of the Vehicle i think.

Just some? :laughing: How about "most"? :shaking:

When I used to live in PA, they never cared what was under the hood, just as long as what came out of the tailpipe was to specs. The only hassle back there was the safety inspection. I'm amazed that our over-coddling and big-brother like state government hasn't adopted a yearly safety inspection as well...but then again if they did, the illegals wouldn't be able to drive around.
 
We are getting closer and the engine fits like a glove
I need more pics! You know... step by step...

That's quite a route for the radiator hose. Does that reflect final setup or are you going to fab an aluminum radiator?
 
This thing is awesome!
I have a question regarding the HP 60 setup...
Did you guys consider running the drag link on top of the high-steer arm and moving the tie rod above the knuckles?
You would likely have to notch the passenger-side frame rail to allow the track bar bracket to be raised on the axle so that the angles match. But that would be some super-sweet geometry! Just a thought.

Either way, it looks like the angles are perfect for where the bars are currently mounted, so it should drive sweet!

There is not enough room to move the drag link on top of the high steer arm or the drag link will slam into the frame. We even had to mount it on the bottom on our Victim which is around 4.5" of lift...

That's what I figured. It would probably take some creative frame notching, etc...
Looks great!!
Get rid of the drag link
