6.0 supercharged done
I did it!!!
I put a 6.0 LS2 with a 4L80E transmission in a 2007 JK. It fits great. Cost a lot less than a hemi and has way more power than I could ever need.
ORE put it in for me, Turn Key provided the engine, bought the trans from a wreaked 3500 dually, added a TCU and good to go.
I think the stock trany will not hold up to the reliability the engine provides. This is why I put such a large and strong trany. A TH400 would work also. Also the stock transfer case is weak, Atlas 4 speed.
Feel free to PM me and I can

I'd much rather have the 6.0 and 4L80E than a Hemi. I've just had better luck with Chev engines and trannys than Dodge over the years. For me the only reason to install a Hemi would be because the 6.0 (or 5.3 for that matter) couldn't be made to interfac with the electronics of the JK. And I guess state smog laws could be an issue too.
