2001 4dr Zr2 5.3 project :)
« on: June 27, 2018, 04:46:35 PM »
I just bought 2 4dr Zr2 Trackers

2001 is in good shape with a bad 2.5 (the fender, hood and rear bumper are a little damaged)

2003 is wrecked but with a running 2.5 (I think the  chain tensioner is going bad on it though.)

I'm planning on swapping the good parts off the wrecked on and putting them on the good body.

But thought about taking the body off the wrecked frame and mocking up a 5.3/60e to see how it fits. :)

Only time will tell how this is going to go..

How are you going to fit twice as much engine in that already cramped engine bay?

I am envisioning possible fire wrenching, sawzall clearancing and a big hammer massage!  The OHC 2.5 fits in that engine bay, and it is pretty wide across the top.  I am sure it will be cramped, but possible.
