Personally I think the 5.7 is probably perfect power to size. The 5.7 is what jeep puts in the 1500 Ram which is bigger than the JT. Jeep should make the 5.7 an option at least.
Thank you for this! I found this to be very enlightening. I'm looking to get a Gladiator and putting a 5.7 in it with a manual transmission, this info will help me a lot.
I'm doing my 6.4 swap on my jku soon. I am so glad I'm doing this all myself. Might as well go buy a hemi 1/2 ton truck for what they want for the swap
@@Exodus4x4 not downing your work. It's just not feasible for me for the cost , especially now that you can go buy a new jl with the 6.4 stock. I like your work and they aren't trashy like some guys do , I had my stuff coming for my swap before ever finding your videos and enjoyed your videos on it it wasn't an insult. I wasn't speaking on your cost I was mentioning in general it is an expensive thing and it's almost worth buying a truck to get the driveline and parts from mopar. You've also shared a lot of info on ls swaps and such and I really felt like your information was helpful for people looking at ls vs hemi. I guess the intention in my mind didn't hit the message appropriately so it looked like I was saying something negative.
Thanks for the info. My jku has a lot of miles on it. I'm thinking of doing a swap. More of the 5.7l. But this info helps with the idea running around.
😂 love the comment during the hellcat engine demo. "Damn, that makes me feel so ....... Oooooohh." That's the magic of that v8 and scharger roar.... It's awakening your senses like nothing else has b4.
Where is your shop located? I have a 2023 gladiator and coming from a jeep 392 I’d like the same set up as my 392 on the gladiator can you folks give me your contact information I’m planning on doing a swap by this coming summer I’m in Northern California. I have a rock krawler 4.5 lift kit and it runs tall which I like, not sure what I would do about the front springs maybe put the diesel springs up front but I’m serious and would like to do the swap. I’d like to keep my stock Dana 44s but beef them up and in a perfect world I wish I could have that button to make the exhaust loud and quiet mainly for long trips, So basically I’m asking can it be done something similar to the factory 392 on my Rubicon jT 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I just dont understand why the jeep company didn't make a 5.7 hemi in the jeep wranglers 🤦🏽♂️ its the perfect dynamic for guys who wanna go off road in a off road suv. Its literally a no brainer, but for some reason they skipped the 5.7L and made a 392 rubicon 🥴 i just dont understand what was so "not cool" about making a 5.7 sahara or 5.7 rubicon 🤷🏽♂️
Damn, if you cant afford an engine swap price, then just keep quiet. AND any real SOLID BUILT jeep is gonna run 80k plus anyway after it leaves the dealership. See yall in April Bubba!
Any news about doing the conversion with a manual. Most wanted was doing one, but it's with a discontinued transmission that is really hard to come by.
I spent 6k for a L86 with a 8 speed with 5k miles on it added a whipple super charger for 6200$ 17k for a install included a atlas 2 transfer case camero fan large radiator and drive shafts run very cool for about 30k and gets it about 680 foot pounds of torque Have driven for 6k miles now with no issues very pleased with what I got for the money. And to get hell cat numbers is only a 3500 $ more k if I feel like I need that with heads cam and headers and a few other things
All out conversions are crate engines backed by a 3 year warranty. Single module, OEM quality throughout. There’s a reason I quit putting GM engines in Jeeps.
Na Motech out there in Vegas has a 20 bay garage and a year wait for a reason he’s got it down I drove mine 2000 miles home no issues Hey I’m not hating on your hemi swaps I know there easier. I just think there far over priced for what you get And it’s more Likely to see a broke down fiat hemi then a LT
Lol, Motech? How long have you had it? You’ll learn what everyone else with a Motech kit already knows. I’m not hating on you man, trust me. I just have a ton of experience dealing with them. I’ve had zero issues with the Hemis we’ve done but we’re constantly having the LS guy come back in because of issues. Hopefully the Gen5 stuff is better for you. Oh and just because a shop has 20 bays and wait list that long, doesn’t always add up to success.
When I’m ready i will use y’all I’m picking up my Gladiator Mojave in a week and going with a 5.7 I’ll just get the rubicon transfer case , I’m not going over 35’s on this build, next year I hope
Love your "telling you like it is" videos. I would like for you guys to do a Hamburger supercharger or a 5.7 Hemi for my Gladiator in the future. I do have the 5.7 Hemi in my 2019 Ram and love it. It is an eTorque version but it still has a awesome exhaust note from the factory. Love the 5.7 sound of your conversion but I would like it a little quieter. I have had enough of loud exhaust sounds in my other vehicles that I've owned.
Sitting in my bedroom crying because I know I’m gonna have to rip the inline 6 out of my YJ and EVERYTHING else to get myself a hellcat under that hood😭😭😭😭😭
Are 6.1’s even worth the trouble, or just go with the 6.4? I have a six speed scat pack and I dream of replacing the dookie bomb V6 in my 08 Wrangler with one.
What do you think of keeping a Dana 30 front axle for a 5.7 swap? I’m wanting to 5.7 swap my JKU Sahara but I’d like to avoid needing new axle(s). It would be largely a daily driver with some light/moderate off roading
if you have a Mojave which (I Think) is basically a rubi without a front disconnect, but with a stronger frame and different lift... does it already have the right transfer case?
@@Exodus4x4 yea i know the stock 3.6 manual trans won’t work, you need to find a getrag 238 from an 04 ish ram/Dakota, figure if doing that best would be a 5.7 not a 6.4 as the tq would probably demolish the trans.
By the the time you buy a Rubi model and add your 6.4 you're near or over 80K. shafts and tires, etc, your near 85+k. No offense, but I'll wait until Jeep unleashes the 392 in a JT, which will happen. Or I'll just buy a JL this summer for 70+K. Custom 3150 front and rear shafts from a local shop is about 1k total. Add some 37's near 1.5k. So for well under 80K I'm done. I like you man, and your videos. But I love saving money, because that A-hole Biden is trying to take it all!!!
The dealer I just bought a JL from says the 392 JL is very limited they can only get like one a month so if one wants to order one and they got one they can't take the order. Jeep ain't going to make many of these. This was probably just PR to say they did it. I'm sure they'll have a ton of the Wrangler Priuses, gotta make Biden happy that's if he notices.
I have a 07 Jeep JK that had a 1 ton axle swap. My brother gave me his 11' Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.7l hemi needs a lot of work but engine is fine. Would this 5.7l be good with the 1 tons or should i sell the truck and go for a 6.4l. Big difference would be the cost of having a free donor truck and having to buy everything and a 6.4l.
No problem with a 5.7 if you already got it. Mostly depends on if you think the 5.7 is worth fixing up, and if you think you want more power. Depending on gearing, the 5.7 will probably give you all the power you need
oh boy...i have a dilemma...I was just considering a Edelbrock and I ran across your Hamburger video. Meanwhile 2 hours later Im watching all your Hemi swaps.
@@salttrader4113 I have seen some guys run 10,000 miles on them so far with no issues. As long as you do the tuning correctly I think it’s okay, but I’ll do more research and take your information as part of it as I review them. Thanks.
@@chuckw6099 I saw his video, but prefer the screws better than the centrifugal superchargers as the screws have a better low end power increase. Thanks.
He keeps going on about the rubicon t case. Most builds I know at this level go with Atlas. My point being do massive research before buying anything because I would go a different direction on almost everything said in this video. There’s no wrong or right, just know there’s options and find what’s right for you.
@@Exodus4x4 give me a price range, it drives and runs just fine. guages work, cats and o2 sensors are in place, its on a 2011, which i hear have a weird pcm since its like a transition year of the new interior.
Is there any way to swap a 6.4 and keep the manual or get a manual transmission that will work with the 6.4? Really want a v8 but my mom has a 392 with an auto trans and every time I drive it I just think how much more I'd enjoy having a manual lol. Also would really miss the manual in my JT.
$30,000! Your out you freaking mind. You can get a 5.7 for $5500 and a complete 5.7 with wiring harness for $8800. Where’s this extra cost coming from.
Bubba’s a 5:13 guy as he states in his other videos because guys go 37, then want 38’s and 40’s so he says save the money and just go 5:13. He did say 4:88 is perfect for 37’s if you can fight the urge to go bigger.
@@onebridge7231 my garage height fights it for me lol. 4.88 and 37 are perfect for me! One extra inch and my jeep wouldn't fit in the garage, so sticking on 4.88
Wish I could afford it momma would kill me lol I have stopped asking but the axles are a good start she is telling me to use up the v6 then we will talk about it lol then she won't let me drive it to much
Its not a base engine, its everything, wire harness, radiator, new transmission, new ECU, tune. About $16k for crate new motor and transmisson. The kit is about $14k all the accessories, parts, wire harness, ecm, tune, headers, exhaust, too much to list. Atleast 25-30 parts not including engine or trans
