Default Blown engine and looking for an upgrade!

Hi -- We have a 2007 Rubi Unltd with a blown engine. We are considering taking this opportunity to go to the Hemi upgrade, and are looking for a one-stop shop to help us out. We want a shop that has done a lot of these and has a solid reputation for standing behind their work. Can anyone recommend a shop? We are in Orange County, southern California, but would consider a shop out of the area if they can arrange for the vehicle transportation. All suggestions welcome. Thanks!

AEV has my vote! I actually grew up about a mile from their shop and didn't know it until I bought my first jeep. Albeit, Michigan is a bit far for you.

About AEV

Also, Starwood Motors does amazing work and I believe they are located in California. I follow them on instagram and they are always producing unsurpassed work.

Give me a call at the shop or stop buy and we can discuss a HEMI swap in your JK.

Hi there,

Here are some photos of a completed 426 Supercharged Hemi swap in a 2012 JK, and a 2008 JK that is currently undergoing the same Hemi swap with supercharger. Both rigs are currently in our shop. It would be a good opportunity to see the work that was done first hand, and we invite you to come down to our facility and check it out for yourself! We are also located right here in Orange County, in Laguna Hills just off the 5 freeway and Lake Forest Dr.

If you have any questions, or would like schedule a time to come down, please feel free to give me a call or shoot me an e-mail.

Cheers,

Bond Gilmer
