Default My HEMI Conversion!!

I just purchased a GREAT deal!! Just got a 5.7 Hemi with transmission out of a 2011 Jeep Commander that was in a rollover accident for $1,000.00. It only has 7456 miles on it. I'll take some pics of the engine and transmission. I'll need some help on what's the best kit and method of putting this beast in my JK. I've already noticed that I'll need to do some work on this , some parts are broken and the wiring harness has been cut in a few different places. So I'll need some expertise on this project from start to finish. But I'm on my way to more power and joining the HEMI club

If it looks too hard for you, I'd be glad to take it off your hands. That's a smoking deal.

Jealous as heck. I'm newer to Jeeps and therefore to lifts and all the different typical Jeep mods, but I love dropping big engines into small spaces...

Right now I'm on vacation in Oklahoma City so everytime I go some place I always check Craiglist for that location to see who is getting rid of jeep stuff and I came across the ad for a 2011 Hemi Engine and Transmission from a rollover Jeep Commander for sale for $1,500.00. I immediately called and went to check it out and talked the guy down to $1,000.00. I picked it up today on my trailer and drove off quickly....lol.
