Swapping A Wrangler's 3.8L V6 For A Hemi V8 - Truck Tech S1, E14 

@Leo Coffy oh you fancy people with 1/2 a garage. I have a shade tree, a hammer with a broken handle, 2 screwdrivers/chisels/prybars, 3 bricks and a busted cinderblock, and funds borrowed from neighbors, which I halve to walk 2 miles to get to, uphill, both ways.

Honestly I know people who have done more complex swaps in their driveway with no lift. You can do anything if you work hard enough

I have a hard time changing my oil to!!

Ha. What car guy wouldn't lol 😆

They don't get to keep them

Bro Ima just gonna take out the valve core for to evacuate A/C and squint my eyes instead of wearing safety glasses

For 70k

@@coolHandLuke5150 can you imagine the Jeep you could build for 70g

@J B Jr it would be lol I’ve owned 6 jeeps and never built one other than lift kits and lockers , winches ,, bolt on’s .. My Jeep day’s are done more focused on retirement and fishing but still like to look .. looking ok as long as you got a good pair of sunglasses 😎

@Leo Coffy the Bronco is horrible. It's probably a Focus in a fat suit.

@@jcl1201 I agree with you but sometimes the engine choices for power is cuz they got to meet the government Cafe standards so they can't give us a powerful engine that we want cuz it won't make the mileage requirements. You can blame the government for that one

What was my dumbA$$ thinking when I made this comment

No. It realistically could not have come in the Wrangler. The only JK engine "option" is the 3.8 V6, "real" Jeeps have never had engines larger than 304 cubic inches and only the "Jeep" SUVs "based" on the Dodge Durango "platform" have ever had or been able to practically, reliably and durably use more than 200 horsepower and the vast majority of those are 4.7 Hemi powered. Only SRT "Jeeps" have ever been "developed" to "harness" 5.7-liter multi-port EFI high-compression engine output. And if you think an "upgrade" like that is going to turn a Wrangler into a "truck" and enable real "towing" and even light-duty 1/2-ton pickup "payload" capacity you're smoking crack. "Handling" will also suffer significantly and the "upgraded" Jeep will be a clumsy, nosediving, oversteering, rear end swinging nightmare during "spirited driving". "Burning in" parts like engine mounts also instantly "totals" the vehicle for KBB purposes and it'll have a "salvage title" if - not when since there is no vehicle harder to "flip" than an "upgraded" Jeep - it has a new "caretaker". Or as soon as its in a "fender bender" and an insurance adjuster OR collision repair professional lays eyes on those "upgrades" after an accident during "appraisal". And since there is no way to "replace" and/or "rebuild" an "upgraded" vehicle to make the owner "whole" again, it's guaranteed "totalled" and the payout will be "blue book" MINUS whatever "quote" the collision professional comes up with to repair a "stocker" with similar damage AND actual residual value to justify "fixing" it. If you want a Hemi-powered "Jeep" AND a way more capable, comfortable and practical "off roader" and "daily driver" you don't a "real" Jeep and "upgrade" it.

The flanges and boots have nothing to do with how "heavy duty" a CV joint is and there is essentially no way to make a CV joint more "heavy duty" without making it larger. And "heavy duty" CV joints will be no more reliable than stockers if other "upgrades" increasing lift and/or "horsepower" and/or drivetrain load - larger tires do it automatically - are installed. There is nowhere an "upgraded" but still "street legal" Jeep on DOT tires can go that a stocker on good "all terrain" tires cannot WITH a competent "driver" AND there are tons of places the stocker will go because it FITS that the "upgraded" Jeep can't go no matter what. Decades ago one of the main 4WD mags - either Four Wheeler or 4 Wheel & Off-Road put a bone stock "flatfender" Jeep CJ3A on the "grandaddy" of all off-road trails - the Rubicon which is a dry riverbed "littered" end-to-end with REAL granite rocks from Pet Rock size to Jeep size in the Sierra Nevadas - for REAL rockcrawling and "conquered" the trail with zero damage, zero drama, "grave digger" military non-directional tires and a bone-stock 4-cylinder flathead "Go Devil" engine making all of about 55 horsepower under the hood. HUNDREDS of purpose-built "rockcrawlers" built from and into Jeeps of ALL CJ "generations" with every imaginable "upgrade" have been broken by the Rubicon and usually in the "mildest" sections that involve only finding the right "line" because they won't FIT in the right "line" between boulders and in "chutes". Putting light-duty pickup truck powertrain and drivetrain "upgrades" in a 1/4-ton Jeep with "marginal" driveline angles and nowhere near enough wheelbase to "straddle" obstacles two at a time has always been a recipe for disaster and the same parts that are "bulletproof" in a light truck as long as it's not "upgraded" grenade with regularity in Jeeps because they have such short rigid frames and crappy "articulation" as well as insufficient weight and a practical center of gravity and track width to "stick" off-road. One or more tires is always "airborne", lockers are a must in the axles, no obstacle can be "negotiated" in 4WD high much less 2WD - GOOD "off road" vehicles only need 4WD "occasionally" to get OUT of trouble they drive into "effortlessly" in 2WD and - and a ridiculous "crawl ratio" is required with the stupid tall tires, automatic trans or "highway" manual trans and there is NO "upgrade" for driveline angles in ANY "upgraded" live-axle 4WD least of all Jeeps AND most "upgrades" to powertrains - such as transmission and transfer case "swaps" AND axle "swaps" that put a "beefier" axle WITH a longer "nose" on the differential housing result in even worse driveline angles because the shafts have to get shorter even in situations where they should be longer "on paper". Most "builders" that ever "upgrade" live-axle trucks with "heavy duty" axles and lift kits simultaneously expect to have to lengthen driveshafts and are "shocked" to find the axle swap has shortened the "yoke to yoke" distance as much as the lift has lengthened it and then some. And nobody makes driveshaft "stretchers" AND the slip yoke(s) is not there to "compensate" for "minor changes" to yoke to yoke distance during suspension "cycling". Damn near never does the driveshaft in a live-axle vehicle EVER need to "stretch" or "shrink" during suspension "cycling" and slip yokes are ONLY there so the driveshaft can "shrink" for installation and removal.

engine and trans need to be changed? or can it be just the engine?

Doesn’t account for inflation and also (older) Jeep’s are bulletproof. The new Chrysler-made heels no so much.

You think these cheap prices are insane, you should try and find a used cargo van.

$4,000 in the early 70s is almost $30k today

COUNT INFLATION IS $27,654.29

Build back better, hurray!!! I still feeling robbed everyday

I had a 3.0L Ranger. That was slow.

They want stupid money for a conversion up wards of 30k

money is always the bottom line. that and how much Gov. Regulation is going to cost you. My brother has one of the long TJs with the 4.0L inline 6. NEVER had a problem. nobody I know likes that V6 back in the day AMC put everything from 4 bangers to V8s in them.

I am guessing maybe they want the engine to sit a little higher while they work on it and then they will lower it on the the bottom through bolt when they're ready. Not really sure why though!

@@jakeccr I see. Thank you!

All of them are years old on here.

I get lots of looks driving it. It's red. I wash it every weekend.

just go buy one with a 5.3 already in it or find an SS ur money will be better spent

@@360fanboy360 I just looked that up. $8,000 and up. It’s not going to cost that much going other way.

tons of them on the road, #1 selling truck

They make them now thanks to the ford bronco

@@janeandjohndoe8458 thats ford for you.

There are and it only cost a metric million dollars... more than the Ram TRX

Just watch this video.

Or u can get the 265 inline hemi from australia

And still be gutless

@@georgepacheco9983 or just hemi swap it. Who tf puts a inline in a 2010 jeep?

@@janeandjohndoe8458 to be honest I really loved the 4.0 but apparently in australia dodge made a hemi inline called the 265 or the hemi 6. Has like around 300 just rebuilt so modding it is not problem. I get it's easier and more worth to put a 5.7 or higher but I'm like doing things dat haven't been done yet

@@georgepacheco9983 but it doesn't make much sense to put a long engine in a short engine bay. Yes it would be cool, no it's not practical and hemis make even more power. Plus the V8 soundb

I know right because $15000 for clean 07 with under 100k in 2021 seems absurd.

At the end it shows the copyright date. MMXIV = 2014

@@FaustoTheBoozehound I typically close out before the outro is over.

@@FaustoTheBoozehound Thanks

Which puts more stress on your internals..so just go with a bigger engine for long term reliability.

Ooh. On a short wheel base that would be twitchy.

And the new jeep starts at 75k....

@J B Jr Exactly mate and not to mention add a 392 Stroker kit with a 30 over bore making it into a 397 Hemi (6.5L) with some CNC ported heads a J Green Cam, and a fully Ported 392 Intake manifold and make it a 392 killer while being wayyyyyyy cheaper than the 392 Rubicon Wrangler.

@J B Jr I wish you can a Coyote swap in the Wrangler like you can with the LS or the Hemi.

@@CJColvin the Coyote is just a humongous engine which makes packaging an issue. Plus the Hemi and LS have been around longer so more are available in the boneyard.

@@bmstylee Thats true.

You don't program it. You tell the tuner your VIN and mileage and they program your new ECM so it will communicate with the body control module correctly.

@@ratfink9205 thanks, that makes a lot more sense.

@@TheAleutiansolution yw

3.6 is NOT a Hemi.

This episode's definitely not brand new it's definitely years old cuz you're right about the price on that

@J B Jr anything with the least HP per CUBE will be reliable. Reliability dont get them panties wet though. vibrations from POWER does!!!

0-60 in 10 seconds would say otherwise. That is absolutely pathetic. My 5500 lb Silverado (which is about 1500 lbs heavier than the Wrangler)would beat that by several seconds without trying. Put a set of bigger tires, bumpers, winch, etc on it and it would struggle to get to highway speed without a mile run up.

@@bmstylee I little Jeep is not designed for speed, and unless you have owned one and driven it "dressed up," you have no idea what you're talking about.

@@bartgoins1782 I have driven one "dressed up". They're slow and crude on a good day. And frankly overpriced for what they are. A lot of cheap plastic inside. But hey they make a great girl's car. But enjoy not being able to keep up with traffic because not being built for speed is cool.
