I like the idea of the Ecoboost. Hopefully with Ford putting out more and more of these, the Jeep aftermarket picks up on them.

I swapped a 6.0 LSX motor in. 396HP /405ftls. One word to describe it is "Drivability".

There are a bunch of JKs with LS motors around here. They are badass!
I think the LS is hard to beat in terms of price/performance/reliability
