The swap also included a Griffon 3-core radiator, B&M transmission cooler, MoTech CAI, tapshift, and 3" exhaust running through a Flowmaster 50 series muffler. I went with the 6.0 mainly because Robbie scored a killer deal on them ($3K for a new one). The one in my Jeep is pushing 400HP / 420TQ. I've driven his 6.2L LS3 Jeep, and despite the smaller displacement, they perform about the same. The real bonus is the 6.0 is designed to run on 87 octane fuel. I give up a few ponies (and probably a little MPG), but it's cheaper on the wallet to maintain. I'm also running the stock D-44's in my Rubi with the stock driveshafts. To date, no issues. I'm not afraid of the "go" pedal either. I'm guessing you either: 1. Never merge onto the interstate in your Jeep 2. Have no hills or mountains where you live 3. Have a 3.6L with no weight additions. For me, the difference was night and day. Doubling the horsepower and torque makes the Jeep feel like a "normal" SUV (think Chevy Tahoe or Range Rover.) I no longer fear for my family's life when I merge into traffic or traverse steep grades. As for offroad performance, no need to explain it: Here's a video I made last summer: YouTube Link: http://youtu.be/lWx5YH5cRNA

Now we have done about 15 LS swaps and my Jeep the GuineaPig has a 2010 6.2L/6L80 that we put in a Year ago, I always have been a Chevy fan, but the Hemi is just easier to install. Now the LS is a great engine and their is more Chevrolet fans out their and with the 6L80 it is a good program, so we are working on a simple way to install a LS in a JK so we build a all new wiring harness, we also use the LS accessory drive so we can have a York air compressor. We also can now use the Rubicon T Case we have build a shaft so we can use the Rock Trac 241 T Case. It is hard to do any engine swap on the cheap, but we can do a VVT 5.7L Truck HEMI turn key for $16,800.00 (400HP) and no over heating with our new fan and shroud, with our new program we have help the trans also by raising the Rev-limiter in each gear and making the shifts firmer. We have come a long way with the Hemi! Now it is time for the Chevrolet LS and we are going to make it better that ever, we have the HEMI Jeeps down and working great so it is time for the LS!! We are also looking into a Diesel 3.0L but this will take a lot of time and work, but we are looking into a Diesel also!

It would also be nice to pull a big trailer and not drop all the way down to 65 when running 75 going up hill on the interstate
