JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default carbureted chevy 350 in my jk!

im pretty sure this is under the extreme haha but for the past month ive been putting a cammed and .040 bored out chevy 350 with a rebuilt turbo 350 behind it in my jk! some of you might hate it but keep it to urself, and sorry about the lack of pics, i havent really been concentrating on that and its up and running its just i recently shorted something out from past retarded wiring so all my electrical crapped out and my headlights wont turn off but im workin with my dodge technician friend on that but ask questions if you want ill get pics later of the interior with the gauges and fuel cell and crap later when its completely done...










like i said ill take more pics in the next couple days and maybe a tire roasting video haha but ask questions if you want, lots of blood sweat and tears went into this! lol

Novel enough, but man... I can't fathom binning the factory ECU, losing OBD, etc.

It's going to be a monumental task to get it all sorted.

Good luck.

yeah i mean up until i shorted something everything on the interior was working: a/c radio stock gauges(even though im only using the stock fuel gauge) and all the power windows and locks!

i kept the ecu and just unplugged the two harnesses that went to the motor
