Great - thanks for the support! This will be a very different build.

Truck just unloaded a pallet at the JCFab Shop in Sylmar. Anyone want to guess what it is?!

Thanks.

You are correct.

Of course, but I'll be riding shotgun with you for a while.

Thanks. Unfortunately, AEV shipped the wrong exhaust system with the kit. I got the pipes for a 5.7 and the 6.1 are a much bigger diameter, so those will be going back. Not too big of a deal though because there is a lot to do before the exhaust goes on. JCFab is going to start tearing out my current motor and trans soon, so the Jeep will be down for a while. The plan is to have stage 1 (Hemi and trans in) before Moab and test out the new engine there before beginning stage 2, which will be suspension and driveshafts.

Pretty boring update, but before we can get the engine installed, I need to gather some parts that have to be replaced on the Hemi that were damaged in the rollover. Mopar was nice enough to send me a new waterpump today:

Not sure that I understand why, but we found out today that AEV sells the 5.7 exhaust system with the 6.1 Hemi kit on purpose, and they expect you to dial down the flow. Does not make any sense to me. Regardless, we aren't willing to give up the HP with smaller diameter tubes, so this will be a fully custom exhaust for JCFab to build. No worries, more custom stuff is good...I think.
