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...

Magically the A/C compressor will not clash with our LHS chassis rail . . . although just above the chassis it will poke maybe an inch or two into the under fender cavity behind the left front wheel and above the beam axle. We will just make a neat little housing to go around it. The alternator...

AHHHHH ! GOLD or not . . . a bloke can still make mistakes. I duplicated the post, then tried desparately to delete the duplicate before intelligent bods saw it. I had to enter something to get out, hence the Road Runner BEEP !

BEEP !

So, courtesy of the web parts resource by this is your engine mount I think, pressed in steel . . . now see the next photo . . . have you seen this engine mount, it's the standard LHS mount I'm using sourced from my 2015 Jeep GC 2WD donor wreck. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it is...

GOLD GOLD GOLD … The MOPAR Olympics ? Damn ! My iPad won't upload photos here. I'll have to get onto the iMac sometime later and give that a try.

That aircon compressor may well be a problem for us. It may not clear the Dodge truck LHS chassis rail … and that will be a bummer. Thanks again for your research info. Jim

Following this exciting milestone of yours, you gave us the courage, after almost a year, to light the 'touch paper' on our project and a couple of weeks back we started dissassembling the JEEP GC so as to firstly extract the wiring loom. We are continually starting the engine in the car after...

Thanks MD360, You've provided seriously good info here. Much appreciated. Things are starting to look promising. Good luck. I'll continue to stay tuned. JS

Hello MyDuster360 How is it progressing on the electronics side ? You've been a bit quiet. Rgds Jim

K Good to hear your voice again MD360. Keep up the fine work.

I know nothing but … for what its worth, regarding "variable oil pressure", I bumped into this snippet of info on the Mikuni company web site in a totally unrelated search regarding something else. It may to some extent answer your question. Automobiles | Products Information | MIKUNI...

G'day friends I'm still looking in often enough with my Pentastar engine swap on hold until I see some success reported by someone somewhere. Our thread pilot myduster360 has been very quiet. Where are you brother ? I have a simple but long question, and it'd be great if any of you could...

Its a wait and watch game . . . . .

. . . . . so, what I mean is that the system may check internally for each components VIN code, and if there's a mismatch, then NO START or NO FUNCTION is the order of the day. Such a system would make it difficult to steel your neighbour's engine when he wasn't looking and drop it in your...

I'm still watching this forum topic with great interest and hope. I showed a younger friend all my V6 Pentastar stuff, still in the wrecked Grand Cherokee, the other day and talked about the problems, your problems in particular. My friend is of the opinion, though not certain, that for...
