Happy new year to you and the project. How’s it all going ? Really looking forward down the track to seeing an engine and trans drive report. Cheers Jim

Well done sir. You are a STAYER and a great COMMUNICATOR. Much appreciated.

Thanks again MD360, - the lack of a LIMP-HOME-MODE in Chryslers is promising news. - "accurate MPH" … thanks, I have the ABS module, a couple ABS sensors and a tone wheel from the donor Jeep … the trick will be installing them. - "my engine is mounted ~5° off horizontal" … I took accurate...

The north/south oriented 3.6L Pentastar and auto trans setup in the 2015 Grand Cherokee RWD is canted 8° off horizontal toward the rear. If this same package was subsequently installed in a project vehicle, such as the Swinger, perfectly level at 0°, would there be any future operational...

MD360, Just a thought of mine, as I continue to think ahead to the time when I get my 3.6 started … when you started your 3.6, is there any chance that it may have been running in LIMP-HOME-MODE ? I'm living in fear, especially as my plan is to use the original ZF 8-speed auto trans with all...

Your job is all looking very good. A great job well done. Did you mount the engine with the crank horizontal line raked a few degrees down at the rear ? If so, then how many degrees ? If not, then you will have installed it level, and in that case why level ? I ask because the Jeep Grand...

Before removing the Pentastar from the 2015 Grand Cherokee 2WD, I measured the centreline heights above the floor of the crankshaft at front and the ZF auto 8-speed output shaft. The crank front end is 6.33" or 161mm above the output shaft. Is this normal ? It puts the engine on a pretty hefty...

We're getting there … Jeep Pentastar 3.6L and 8-speed trans into the 37-38 Dodge truck. Now need to fabricate the L And R engine mounts and trans mount, followed by exhaust system and cooling systems. Everything seems to be just squeezing in right now … but we haven't got to the heater/aircon...

What is an indicative cost for such a great 3D scan job ?

We are getting close to dropping out the Pentastar from the 2016 Jeep WK2 Grand Cherokee. As we have gone along disconnecting and removing everything from the car and from the wiring loom, beginning at the tailgate and working forward, we have also been checking often that the engine continues...

G'day MD360, What is that prop in the photo, the prop with the red support atop the screw threaded shaft ? What is the generic name for the device, and what are both it's extended and collapsed heights ? I can't see much in the photo. Jim

Any movement your end on your desire to get a Dart/3.6 project going ? Jim

Mark, Fantastic stuff. Hope I haven't missed any of subsequent posts that you may have made since. Have you made any progress on a Pentastar 8-speed swap into the Chev ? Jim

I had two friends visit my project yesterday, both are ex-Chrysler Australia Engineers who also did time with Chrysler in Detroit. One of them joined Chrysler in 1964, the other in maybe 1967. They love MOPAR and it's locked in their blood. They are both so impressed with the Pentastar 3.6L...
