Hemi conversion in details

[zekisson]

Yes it is now time for full conversion of both red and black JK's to 6.1. I have the following on order from Burnsville/Dan

1 6.1 Hemi crate motor 9,500.00
1 new 545rfe transmission 2,730.00
computer 850.00
wiring 1,300.00
radiator 800.00
engine accessories 2,700.00
motor mounts 300.00
tranny mount 45.00
steering shaft bracket 25.00
radiator hoses 80.00
power steering hose 85.00
air filter assembly 100.00
transmission cooler 89.00
parts off road motor accessory bolts 65.00

Total $18,669.00 for ONE kit (I'm paying $37,338) plus customs and transport reaching $42,000

I will have fully detailed write-up on both projects which will start together as soon as I get the parts. I have saved the 6.4L hemi which I have for a "bigger" project on a 2008 4doors new wrangler which I will be buying soon :blush:

What I need now is help with part # / brands for bolt-on brake upgrades for the front D44 and rear D44 (rubi axles). I can't find any and I know that the SRT8 brakes just don't fit on the JK!:thinking:

Will you be doing the kit over there on Dubai or shipping the jeep here stateside? and for a lil off topic When I was going through Dubai I loved the Place didn't like so much leaving the airport and going into the humid garage parking but the city is beautiful. When I was there I went on a Desert Safari with a tour guide HELLUVALOTAFUN Heres the pic of me infront of the notajeep truck I was in

You will love it, here is one of my 6.1's doing its thing in the sand, have fun. Camp
And if you need one to look at while you are working on yours, I can get you in touch with one of my customers over there, maybe he can run it down, if that helps.

to hell with them 44's..

Give Solid Axle a call and buy some 60's they come with wilwood brakes.

Camp thanks I saw that jeep it is awasome. Also I think yes I should call Michael from Solid a call and go for 60's. That was indeed the best tip so far:eek2:

Here is what I would do, since I have not had one of my customers brake their Dana 44, drop in the 513 gears, and beat the shit out of it. Go ahead and order the Dana 60 rear, and shelf it until you brake the 44. Since you are only in the sand, the stress is consistant, rather than climbing over rocks, where it jumps and grabs. Thats what I would do, and as soon as you finish, get your HD camera and go film it in the dunes, we need more movies! Camp:ya:

ps, Tom Woods makes some nice heavy duty drive shafts, about $1200.00 for the pair, dan can throw them in the box with your motor, hint hint

5.13 are already in and yes for sure I will use these tills I get the Solid. 1350 J.E. real are fitted too. its is only the engine, transmission what is left.
