Check out Venom Motorsports - Grand Rapids Michigan. Shaun runs this shop and they do excellent work. They put a 5.7 in mine and it is awesome. You can email him at copeland801az@yahoo.com

Can you pm me the approximate cost? I've been thinking about upgrading but the price has me concerned. Thanks.

Obviously the hemi is better, but I'd go test drive a pentastar before making a decision. Probably a lot cheaper to just trade. Just a thought

If your in Australia, I'd trade that sucker in on a factory CRD diesel JK. Save a ton of money. I could only imagine what it'd cost to import everything for a hemi swap over there.
