JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

You are better off going with the proven and available 6.4 Hemi swap... contact Burnsville Offroad.

Belive me LS engine series is the best. In addition they are reliable, when I post this thread I knew that there will be some advices to swap with Hemi engines. Frankly, I don't like Hemi engines it's my openion .

Just use an LS engine and transmission/transfer case outta a late model Chevy 4X4 truck. Use the ecu and all. Problem solved.

I have contacted Novak Adaptors in Logan Ut, USA and they ganna provide me the adaptor & the engine mounts. My question is can I bypass the ABS and the traction sys.

I think you'll already be bypassed.

I'm guessing you'll have to run a GM ECU for this, which will not have the interface for the Daimler/Chrysler ESP, TCS, or ABS.

The other thing to think about is the drive-by-wire system. You may need to install a GM accelerator pedal/system as well to interface with the LS2 electronics.

We did many Jk's with Hemi engines and I have tried many of them and they were awesome, but I don't like Hemi cause It's straight forward and can be swaped in no time. I wanna somthing challenge, reliable and powerful and It's Ls2 6.0.....

A Hemi swap, or any motor swap, is no walk in the park as far as the challenge is concerned.

I can appreciate for sure what you are saying though, as far as wanting something challenging. I just think it might be biting off a little too much.
