Shaweet! Need some more details. I hope its not AUTO only.

We just had a thread on this earlier this week.

It's just a kit that includes everything except the engine and tranny. Those are left up to you to decide (between 5.7 and 6.1L HEMIs). As far as the tranny, I think it's designed to work with the 545RFE, but there might be a 6spd that'd work, too, I forget what the concensus was on that.

Search.

According to the link, post number 7 says Auto only for now....

4wheelersupply.com has a kit for the manual tranny I believe. Just for the 5.7 though, is what it looks like..

I wont consider a 5.7L or a 6.1L with a auto...6 speed only for me.....

[pearl-drum-man]

I don't think the stock 6 speed is up to the task, off the top of my head I don't know what other manual tranny would be a possibility from the Mopar parts bin. I know the Euro diesel Jeeps limit the torque output for the 6 speed to 303 lb-ft, where as the autos get the full 340 lb-ft.

[JPop]

Parasitic loss of power, fluid and torque converter would make the torque limiting about one in the same at peak torque output rpms.

I got the opportunity to drive one of their 5.7l converted JK's on 37's with 410 gears and auto while I was up Montana a few weeks ago. It smoked the 37's on the pavement from a dead stop. The power was awesome and the conversion looked like it came from the factory that way. The JK should have come with a V8 option. In the unlimited, the power of a 4.7l v8 would be perfect.

Super....now this will be a very select market kit.

What about a diesel conversion of some sorts?

[HULKGREEN]

AWESOME !!

And the price point is not TOO bad !!!!!:ya::ya::brows::brows:

If you are mechanically inclined it is a steal to do it yourself and it comes with the Power train Control Module ( ie .... the computer to make it all work !!):thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::ya:

Yeah lets talk about that. Does that mean that their kit will bolt up to our 6 speed? Talk about easy swap. No tranny to mess with just engine and PCM.

[greenmachine07]

they said they will be selling the kit, and the engine/tranny through mopar.
Quadratec already has if

[jcmrubicon]

Man I want it!

[Screamin Lizard Customs]

The manual option is something I have looked at though most customers go with the auto when they are going to such an upgrade.

Does it bolt up or is there an adapter needed?

I recently found this website and from what I've seen in pictures and video the final outcome is unreal. Does anyone know anybody who has used them before? It's expensive but again, from what I've seen worth it. I'll put a picture of my jeep up soon for any suggestions or comments. I have only owned it for about 5 months and I'm continuously making upgrades.
So far: 3.25 lift, 35in tires, True Flow XDI airintake, Gibson catback split exhaust, tinted out completely. Dana 35, 44 front end and rear ends. Any suggestions for better options please let me know. Oh and it's rescue green if you couldn't guess by the screen name. Thanks.

Your front axle is a dana 30.

wasn't sure just getting into the jeep world and bought it used from a guy in VA. Question for you, I recently have started having a problem going over small bumps on the road where the whole steering column, front end starts vibrating and shaking. I can still stay in a straight line but the vibrations are very concerning. Any ideas? I was thinking the front end or sterring box.

Do a search for 'bump steer' or 'front end vibrations'. You will find out what is wrong with your Jeep. This thread is on the AEV Hemi Kit. Lets keep them on topic. :thumbsup:
