Default Anyone else with an engine swapped JK?

So I was thinking, how many engine swapped JK's are there? With so many swaps and companies to choose from, I can't be the only one on here with an engine swapped JK. My 2012 has a Bruiser Conversions Cummins ISF Turbo Diesel swap. Like many, when I got 37's, the 3.6 just wasn't enough. I love the diesel! But there are also Hemi and LS swaps out there. If you have an engine swapped JK, post a picture of under the hood! So this is a "roll call" for engine swapped JK's. Click image for larger version

I wish I were ready for a swap. Financially, though, it's just not feasible right now. Building a new $400k house so any major spending is pretty much out of the question. Will get to it eventually, though, but haven't quite decided if I want to do an LS swap or a Hemi. Looking at your Cummins swap, though.....I could be swayed that way, too. That's a clean swap, my friend. Almost looks like it shold've come that way from the factory.

It could and should have been! A 4 cylinder Diesel is the best option for the Wrangler in my opinion. It offers the best combo of fuel economy and power. The low end torque is great when crawling. And 30 mpg on 37's for daily driving doesn't suck either! Bruiser Conversions does amazing work. Their LS and Hemi swaps are just as clean and factory looking.

Right now on a mild tune it's putting 265 hp at 2000 rpm and 490 ft lbs of torque at 1450 rpms to the rear wheels!

nope they dont have financing, kind of a shame because trying to get a bank to give you 30k for an upgrade for your jeep is not the easiest task

Don't have it yet but mine is at Motech for a 6.0 LS swap. Should be awesome.

I am out in Vegas now. Stopped by Motech. Very nice folks there. There were several Jeeps there that were pretty damn amazing. Currently in the process of gathering the rest of the parts to begin a Hemi swap myself. Very excited. I will be happy to have a V8.
