^^^ That is great. I can just imagine the fun I would have with a train horn.

Here's a better video. Warning: VERY loud at the last 5 seconds.

He's going to need scaffolding and rigging to replace it up that high

I laughed out loud at the ending - that is awesome!! :mexsmoke:

Kudos for building a fantastic KJ - got it roadworthy in spite of some disappointments.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed the video. It took me long enough to get something decent posted, right? Anyway, there's the proof that the swap was successful and that it still runs after all this time (speedo stopped working but I don't think that will be too difficult to figure out).

This is the last video for a while. I'm on my way back down to Columbia without any plans on visiting honduras again for at least six months.

I'll be around here and there. Take care, everyone!

That's bad ass. Lmao, I didn't read the very loud part until I almost fell out of the chair

Sent from my G870a on 38's.

I also have a 02 liberty and an 02 Durango, I'm starting my swap tomorrow I'm curious about the exhaust issues, I think I'll pull the manifolds while the engine is out on the cherry picker, were yours fully custom manifolds or modified Durango manifolds?

This is all that I've taken - it's not new or anything. I'll get some other videos posted when I get the chance, but this is pretty much all that I have that's worth looking at.

I had high hopes for the V8 SFA project, too. It truly was going to be one of a kind beast. Now every time I look at it I feel foolish regret.

Hello Honduras, hey been some years but if you can send me links to videos, some say private some say removed. I'd like to see them.I'm doing an 03 KJ 99 4.7 swap. Just discovered this thread and have been reading everyone I can find.
Cheers

I believe Hondua's last post was somewhere in July 2017.
