Jeep Wrangler JL Hemi Engine Swap: Episode 8: Final Reveal 

That rumble, that should be an option on every Jeep

Hard to pick one, but I love how you treated the vendor/sponsor stickers. All the same size and color. Makes it really clean.

Stock axles?

@@Ulfstigandr Agreed

@@inderjohal2498 Thank you

From what I've been told, they do....but they call it a Grand Cherokee. Again, I've been told that to meet government automobile regulations FCA cant put a HEMI (V8) in a vehicle that has removable top and doors and fold down windshield. I have to believe something along those lines because I have no doubt that they would offer it as an option, because you have to remember that FCA is in business to make MONEY....and they would sell a lot of them no matter how much they marked them up. (=profit) I work for FCA, so I know they are all about wanting to make MONEY... I guess to test that theory we will see what FORD does with the new BRONCO as far as V8 engine options if it has removable doors and top. This is also coming from a guy getting ready to do a HEMI swap on his 2005 Jeep RUBICON...believe me I would much rather just buy one already built that way from the factory.

Not for long!

CLIFF HAS A RU-vid ACCOUNT!!!!!????!!!! -All the CJ's Guys

Yeah, i also wish it would be a factory option!

Hemi 5.7 truck engine and vented seats should definitely be offered stock for the price.

@Joseph Bloe Maybe once they get those EV and hybrid models rolling they can figure something out. I just went with a Grand Cherokee, got all I need and a Hemi.

You should do it!!

@@CJBroncoF150 lol no money, just a dream

@@hectorserrano7703 credit cards

@@alextrainor2552 not enough money on them

I'm glad you enjoyed the series, and thank you for the kind words!

I love the wheel and tire combo as well!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for following along!

Yeah its nice to have a Mopar in a Mopar. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching, we're excited too!

Cost for us was roughly 15,000 without any labor included.

Thats a good idea!

Yes i'm ready for the hellcat ! -Matt

Maybe a hellcat? Not sure yet haha

Thank you! Time to put one in your JL!

@@CJBroncoF150 oh God lol! That would be fun. But that 2.0 drives pretty good right now. Not hemi good... But good.

Thank you!

Is that the one in Ohio?

CJ Off-Road there is one there. I think it would be nice to you guys at the Indianapolis one in Sept. I would like to see it in person and I'm sure it would be a hit at the show.

CJ Off-Road it is but there are only 3 this year. Indianapolis was the one I was talking about.

Kyle amp research power steps. they are very solid nice to install what great piece to have with the lifted jeep

Thanks for watching!

Haha, yes the jeep will be off road!

Josh we had a budget the hellcat was slightly out of budget.

Total cost was around 15k for everything, and make sure you follow along with our page we have some big plans for the jeep!

@@CJBroncoF150 Great vids, I am really excited to see what your hemi built JL can do performance wise, 400 pounds torque in that thing has got to amazing to drive. My most favorite vehicle I owned was a 98 Jeep Sahara with 222 lbs torque, 5 speed manual, with Teraflex lift offroad package, dana 44 rear-end and 33x12.50 tires, American racing wheels, living in Phoenix, the tires quickly turned into slicks and I would have it doing 4 wheel dry pavement slides around corners simply by down shifting from 4th to 2nd and punching it, it was an amazing in-line 6 with a K&N intake system. I sold it and regretted it ever since :))

They said 15k not including labour.

@@MrHSIE Thank man ;-)

we got the engine on a great deal and decided at that point it was cheaper to swap parts then buy a car engine.

Matt owns it!

3.6 is plenty in my 19 two door.

A V8 is more of a want than a need. You can live without it unless you just really want it.

the Dakota custom website says the swap only works with the 3.6 but a 4 cylinder is in the works

Heaps Vince

stock transmission

Correct

To do it yourself i would say 15-20k for a shop it would be around 30k
