You guys that have put 5.3 in your YJ.

Please post up your Motor mount set-ups and header choices Please.

I am going to join the 5.3 Club and need some Ideas.

The first set of headers I bought were for a LS and they were block hugger but they dump out on the motor mounts. I did not like that.

I need some suggestions

Thanks Rob

Did you think to look at the 5.3 Jeeps thread?

isn't there a Topic thread covering 5.3 swaps into jeeps?! I swore I saw it on page 1 today? Sorry, I was wrong.

Hah, you lose!

EDIT: The OP is still the real loser though.

Make your own motor mounts to fit around whatever you need them to. This isn't rocket science.

Hey...No one told me there was a 5.3 club!! damit I'm always the last to know.
there is an awsome thread on all this as already said....Pour your self a drink and start readin it is long but some great info. Best beat is to make your own out of some poly yj 1-1/4 spring bushings. Or if ya wanted you can go to advance adapters for $127 they got them. Or if you have the small block aa set or something like that you can go to street and performance (google it) and they have adapter plates.........that once you see them you will say "hay, I can make those out of some 1/4 inch plate" Really though read the 5.3 thread it is the best
