So I know you have probably been asked this a lot but what do you recommend putting in a jeep, Hemi or going with Ls? I have plans to do a swap in about 2 years and i also got referred to your shop from 4 wheel parts in san jose.
Just want to know what the experts think

They are both very good, I have had both in my Jeep the GuineaPig and for now the 6.2L/6L80 is better than the non VVT Hemi but the VVT Truck Hemi is one of the best HEMI engines.

If you want to keep it all Mopar the New VVT Hemi engine are a great way to, but if you are a GM person the new Gen 4 LS engines with the 6L80 is also a good way to go. The 6L80 trans is a great trans and helps with the LS combo.

Oh okay, that sounds understandable. What is the difference as far as cost goes between an ls swap and hemi swap?

The cost difference depends on the engine and if you want to go new or used, part for part they can be very close but doing a LS swap can take more time. LS engines can be hard to find (2009 - 2014) 6.2L/6L80.

We are working on packages for the LS swaps.
