Default 4ws hemi swap

Has anyone used 4ws for a hemi swap? Thinking of pulling the trigger and just checking all of the swapers out there. Any help?

4ws or 4wheelersupply.com is based in Springfield, MO. They do great work, I have seen the owner's JK in person while the swap was going on. He has driven his all around the country with no problems. He has his build documented on video on his site. This winter, he is going up to 42's and dropping Dana 60's underneath with an Atlas Transfer case...

Default Hemi swap

Houston 0, I also live in Houston and Gerry from Sceaming Lizard Customs is picking up my Jeep tomorrow and they are doing my 5.7 6 spd std. trans Hemi swap. You need to check out there web site and give Gerry a call, as soon as you talk with him they will be doing your Hemi swap too. They use the own wire harness that are made from the company who makes the harness for Mopar. The best parts is that they are part of a Mopar Dealership's side business and they can get the parts you need fast. They done a lot of hemi swaps and I did a lot of research before I pull the trigger.

Thanks,Tim

Here is the email I got back from 4ws.com when I inquired about the 5.7 with Manual transmission:

Morning Sir, We use the G238 transmission out of the large trucks. The cost on this swap will be roughly $19,200 that includes the engine and transmission with a Chrysler 1 Year warranty and all the other parts needed for the swap. We can also do any other work you want done while it's here I.E lift kit, gears, lockers, wheels and tires Ect. It normally takes 2 to 2.5 weeks to do a swap so it would be best to drop the jeep off the pick it up when it's done.

And it says on the AEV website that they are in fact working on a Snorkel Kit for the Hemi.
