AEV has a kit to do this swap. All you would need to do is source your own transmission and engine, or you could call Screaming Lizard, or Camp Crocker and I am sure they would do the whole kit with everything needed for you.

You can put a 6.1L Hemi in your Jeep. We a have a franchise in Abu Dhabi, UAE, who has done many Hemi swaps into Jeeps.

Yes, you can do it. I did. AEV makes a kit. You could talk to Screaming Lizard Custom to help you out. They did a great job on my conversion.

Also, as stated above Offroad Evolution has a franchise in Abu Dhabi, you could contact them.
