I haven't heard of anyone doing this, although anything is possible. Most go with the Hemi or Motech kit to run a Chevy engine.

Finally some one agrees with me I would loveeeeeee a 5.4 or 5.0 in a jk I asked this question about a year ago and no real responses I have googled it all I found where some "hillbilly engineers " put one in a tj. God bless them haha. I think the reason is ford motors and parts tend to be a bit more expensive.

I agree with you ... Ford is more expensive .. however I would love to see a 5.4 or a 5.8 or even the new 6.2 v8 that's in the new Ford Raptor. In the Jk.

5.8 liter, 4" high rise intake, Mallory distributor,
C-6 auto with a B&M shift kit, 4:10 gears in a
9" rear end. Now that would be an awesome JK
