Hey,
Looking to see if anyone has done this swap? I am looking to get some information:
Has anyone done the swap without taking off the cab from frame? I understand it can be done. Drop engine in then put tranny in from below
If I get a whole package: Engine, tranny, gauge interface in dash, wiring, ECU. Does the ECU have to be flashed to install a basic tune, assuming not?
Motor Mounts welded on, is it in the same location as existing? Is there a certain measurement to weld them on?
I understand if the swap is done it will need new driveshafts, exhaust, motor mount, radiator w/fan.

Appreciate the read and information. I am trying to tackle it with a friend in my house garage with a life. I am thinking with the whole kit, I will beable to install and do some minor wiring to get the vehicle turn key.

You can probably use a load leveler and drop in the engine and transmission at the same time time.

Jetset: I did this in my 2023 Mojave. I think someone provided you the link. I did it without removing the body. The electronics are the most difficult to do by far. I had help from Tyler at Tom’s 4x4 superstore in Chattanooga. DM me and we can discuss. Tim
