Yep, hopefully my insurance takes care of most of it.
Thanks guys for the input

 

If your looking to do it on the cheap, give AEV or any of the turnkey Hemi swap shops a call. I'd bet they have some low mileage 3.8's for sale for far less then the dealer.

 

Right on. Im on the search right now. Was online last night looking up engines. Looking like its going to be a real tight month or more

 

Genetticly altered hamsters on hgh. When the time comes Ls swap for me or a twin turbo 4bt to keep my 600 horse 6bt company

 

Is there a link to look up the Ls or the other your talking about. Ive spent many hours looking up engines for replacement or altered but not having much luck.

 

If o put a 4bt engine i need yo put another gearbox? And what else u need ?

 

Start with simple net searches:

Wrangler Ls Engine Swap.

Jeep JK Wrangler Hemi Vs. LS Engine.

Jeep JK Wrangler LS v* Engine Swap

A well built 700R4 will work fine for just about ever. I have a semi built 47Re in my truck and have put well over 1000 Ft/Lbs through it my modded 6BT Cummins. The 700R4 is a great cousin to the 47 and fits the 4bt perfectly.

 

Yikes did not see this. Any "upgraded" engine swap at a minimum is going to be roughly 10K when all is said and done. (Figure 4 grand for the kits available, a few grand for a decent engine with accessories, a grand or so for a trans , driveshafts , misc parts , exhaust , fluids , and shop supplies) This of course does not include Labor as everybody has their own idea on what their labor time is ... or have a shop do the labor.

Or Option B; a forced induction 3.8 (Turbo or Super) for the price of a piddly 3.8 and 4-6 grand for a air mover to make as much as 419 crank horse @ peak boost or a nice broad off idle power building up to 240 Wheel Horse.
