I was told by a local shop that I could swap out my 3.8 for a Hemi. Anyone tried this? I would think that if it is possible, it would be cost prohiibitive. But what a rocket!

Do a search for "hemi" or check out burnsvilleoffroad.com . They, among a few others, have done it.

I knew they were doing them, but just curious, anyone know a price on this?

I'm curious when he's gonna do his first Viper powered JK, like the TJs he's done.

They used to have the pricing online, on some of the motors it was more than the cost of the Jeep

I'm going to answer whoever asked about the price for a Burnsville Offroad engine swap... I got this information from elsewhere on the forum, and I'm passing this along second-hand, so don't quote me on the exact figures.

As you probably know, they offer 3 different V8 installations for the JK... here is the price, installed (which I believe includes all the necessary part change-outs, and comes with a 1 year / 12K mile warranty):

4.7L = ~$15K installed
5.7L Hemi = ~$18K installed
6.1L SRT Hemi = ~$25K installed

Very pricey, as you can see. As usual, that old rule of aftermarket applies: How fast do you want to go? The answer dictates the price...

Yeah,
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

I called Burnsville. Over $17,000 for a Hemi and everything that goes with the engine swap out. Guess I'll stick with the bolt-ons!

Just motor? Axle upgrades? Will the stock tranny be able to handle all that?
