SPECIAL NOTE: The components packaged in this kit have been assembled and machined for specific type of conversions. Modifications to any of the
components will void any possible warranty or return privileges. If you do not fully understand modifications or changes that will be required to complete your conversion,
we strongly recommend that you contact our sales department for more information. This instruction sheet is only to be used for the assembly of Advance Adapter
components. We recommend that a service manual pertaining to your vehicle be obtained for specific torque values, wiring diagrams and other related equipment.
These manuals are normally available at automotive dealerships and parts stores.
CHEVY 4.3L V-6 ENGINE
TJ WRANGLER MOTOR MOUNTS
from the stock Jeep harness were clipped. Before clipping wires, you should double check with the service manual and
determine what is “not needed”. (Remember: It is easier to cut wires later than to solder them back together). It is
possible to run the Chevy “check engine” light if you wire it behind the dash and replace the stock Jeep light. Removing
the dash and instrument bezel will give you easy access to the check engine light.
Take care when soldering and striping wires. It is always best to unplug the battery and also disconnect the plugs from
both the Jeep and GM computers. It only takes a minimal amount of voltage on the wrong circuit to damage these
computers. Likewise, only approved test probes should be used. Please read and understand all the warnings printed in
both owners manuals. Make sure to secure the GM computer in a place that will be free from dirt, water, and physical
damage. Also place all relays and fuse block out of harms way (inside the tub is best).
Power Steering:
The Jeep and the GM blocks should have matching fittings. In most cases, the stock GM truck pressure line can be
rerouted to work on the Jeep box. The low pressure return line could be any approved oil hose since it sees only minimal
line pressure. The low pressure hose should always be secured with hose clamps. Make sure the hoses have clearance
in the routing to avoid rubbing on anything. Fill the pump reservoir with fluid and replace the cap when all connections
are secure.
Radiator:
We used our custom Rad-a-Kool radiator for this conversion to make sure cooling would not be an issue. The radiator
fit into the stock location on the Jeep TJ. Please pay attention to the type of engine coolant recommended for your
particular engine; it may vary from what was in the Jeep.
Throttle Linkage:
The throttle cable in the TJ is different than the on used on GM blocks. It may be
necessary to either modify the GM cable to fit or to get an aftermarket cable assembly
(Lokar throttle cables are offered through Advance Adapters).
Fans:
Either a stock clutch fan or an electric fan will work with these motor mounts. With our aluminum radiator, there should
be ample room to run a clutch fan or a short profile flex fan. A custom shroud will have to be fabricated if you use a
mechanical fan.
By far, new conversions are most popular with an electric fan. There is ample clearance in the engine compartment which
allows for good air circulation. We offer a Spal fan and mounting brackets to fit our radiator under Part No. 716670.
This fan is rated at 2360 CFM. Not all fans are created equal, so make sure that your electric fan has enough CFM for
your setup. Also keep in mind that a “puller” fan will draw in more air and cools better than a “pusher” fan.
