For those interested. Adding head mounts to your setup helps reduce driveline movement under high torque applications as well as takes a lot of stress off your transmission bell housing. If the driveline of your build is in a tight space where you might worry about the driveline coming in contact with other components or if you’re looking to beef up your mounting points this is a fun option. My current driveline setup has 4 total points of mounting. Side engine, head mounts, top mounted th400 and top mounted transfer case. Everything will have poly bushing to help absorb the vibration and make it so it can move slightly but in general will be a more solid mount overall.

Obviously this 5.3 LS will eventually get covered in the center section but she’s certainly a pretty view while it’s all open for the time being. Flipped intake is also fun to look at from inside the cab.

Snagged a block from a local guy. The 5.3 came out of an early 2000’s truck with low miles for its age. Decided this one was going into my new rock crawler buggy. Was a fun mild build all around & was able to get both my kids involved in there first engine build so that was cool. Looking fwd to hearing this thing come to life one of these days. Should be a blast on the trial.

Hello everyone I am currently building my 6.0 ls swapped jeep with a Nv4500 trans and a Dana 300 transfer case we are nearly complete with just the minor mods to do.
