HEMI conv. question...

[N8Kern]

About to pull the trigger and just do it.

My Unl. JK has 5.13's and 37's with the minivan 3.8 now. What gear ratio would be best if I went with the 5.7?! or the 6.1?!

Could the HEMI conv. specialist's here tell me their thoughts on the 5.7's power?! How much differ than the V6? Drastically different the 5.7 to the 6.1?

Just wanna make the right choice.

What tranny will you be using ? In my old YJ. I went from the 4 banger with 5.38's. I put in 4.56 with i swapped in an AMC 360 W/3spd auto. I was also running 39.5" IROKS

I had the 6.1 and 5 speed auto swapped in a few months ago. I went with 5.13's because I am going to go to 40's when I wear out my current 37's. If I were to stay with 37's I probably would have gone with 4.88's. I currently cruise at 70 mph at an RPM of 2300 with the 37's.

There is absolutely no comparison between the V-6 and either of the V-8's, power will not be a problem either way you go.

who did your hemi conversion?

Not sure who did 2Stroke's conversion, but look here. SRT-8 6.1l JK Hemi Conversions from SLC

With a 37" tire the 4.88 is the recomended gear with any Hemi conversion.

yeah, i know about them i bought my AEV front bumper from them. i was just looking for some on that may be closer to OK with experience. When i am ready SLC will probabally be the one.

Guys,

Sorry for the late response but SLC did my swap.

That sounds about perfect to me.... 70 at 2300rpm
