As someone who lives nearby Jeep Speed Shop. I cannot wait till I can afford this swap. It really is a life altering change with Jeeps.

@locomike102 Год назад

When a new 392 Wrangler is $80-$90k, it actually makes conversions more approachable. I have a 2018 JL and would probably rather spend the money on a conversion the way I wanted it than a new hemi JL.

@JoseOrtiz_1416 Год назад

Not to mention the 392 power numbers are held back from factory so a swap would actually run a whole lot better and can also feel the difference in the “seat test”

No one buys a Jeep for mileage!.. Throwing bricks down the road since 1940!! 🤣

@adidas4275 Год назад

as someone who owns a 3.8 2010 JK with a Ripp supercharger on 37s I can say this is an awesome setup and something I hope to be able to do in the future. Nice build

Dan at Dakota Customs has a solid kit ! I’ve been driving my 2008 with his 392 8speed kit since February! It is awesome! It’s super smooth and fast . I also upgraded my axle to the dynatrac serious performance kit with 4:88 and 35’s . And Bubba is right I only get about 13ish mpg ( 230 miles per tank)

I have an '08 4dr JK Wrangler Sahara on 35's but waiting until my engine kicks the bucket. Just spent 8k on replacing everything underneath from Ring and Pinions to ball joints etc. For now I can only dream of a V8 conversion. Great build as usual and the canary yellow is rare for the JK 👍🇨🇦👍

@Craftsmanian 3 месяца назад

Me and you both! 8k replacing everything underneath my ‘13 Sahara JK 210k on my engine and I can feel the end coming ! I’m all for the Hemi swap movement

You can use the NAG 1, using that shifter is a limitation of the PCS technology

I have a 2006 Jeep LJ with 67000 original 4.10 gears 35/12.50-15 and 6in short arm k&n coldair banks header and catback and I get 20-23 mpg and I drive 62 miles one way of Wv mountain to work a 4.0 will most definitely get good mpg The biggest enemy is the block fan

What’s a 0-60 time like given it’s not awd like the rubicon 392?

@dougharlow6037 8 месяцев назад

Great Video!!! I would love to see someone take a 2006 LJ, add a Hemi, with 8-speed automatic transmission, Dynatrac PROROCK 80 high pinion for rear and Dynatrac PROROCK XD60, high pinion for the front, 74Weld bolt-on Jeep portals on all 4 corners to keep Jeep low as possible and corner like a sports car. Adams Driveshafts front and rear, 37-40 inch tires

@fredbonjour5443 17 дней назад

Can you put 74Weld portals on the dynatrac 80, or any 80 for that matter?

@mousecop911 3 месяца назад

Does it work well with the 6 speed manual?

@KongStephanos Год назад

Do you finance? Also is there are market for the 40k 6 cylinder?

@dougg8280 Год назад

Haven't they got they Chevy conversions dialed in enough to make sense. My friend's Motech LS JK gets high teens. They also have an executive order making them smog compliant.

@Exodus4x4 Год назад

Stay tuned😉

I find the exhaust sample so funny. He put a hemi in a car and gave it two tiddlywinks of throttle.

@dommagana4537 Год назад

Can you use Dana 44s for this conversion? Also with the 5.7 L instead of the 6.4?

@nicholasmora5299 7 месяцев назад

if you want to run 33s u can you use dana 44s

@blkdavid Год назад

how do you guys pass a vehicle emissions test if you are in Texas ? because there's a smog and the vehicle testing every year I don't understand how you can do that if you're going to a bigger displacement engine ,it's going to have more missions than the 3.6, thanks

@Exodus4x4 Год назад

Every county here has it's own policy with emissions policy.

@ReConGrpTx Год назад

Thoughts on the new I-5 (hopefully it will be available as a crate offering soon) with an 8 speed behind it???

@Exodus4x4 Год назад

Can’t wait to do those, but nothing beats the sound of a V8

@ReConGrpTx Год назад

@@Exodus4x4 agreed on the sound, but the power to weight of the I-5 is VEEEEERY interesting ;-)

@pjshooter6 Год назад

May be coming with a 10 or more speed trans.

@doublebackagain4311 Год назад

The new GME-T6 3.0L is a straight-6 cylinder twin turbo.

@dlaurel6505 Год назад

Any chance y’all are doing just the transmission swap from the stock jk to an 8spd?

@Exodus4x4 Год назад

Wouldn’t be cost effective. Would probably cost so much to work you’d be close a full Hemi swap.

@dlaurel6505 Год назад

@@Exodus4x4 damn! I’m gonna have to stop by when I am in new braunfels again. Take some swag home 👍

@StormbornJKU Год назад

Can you put the 8 speed behind the 5.7? I plan on doing a 5.7 swap in my JKU (hopefully) next year and I was thinking to use the 5 speed. But if I can use the 8 that would be cooler.

@Exodus4x4 Год назад

Yep

@pjshooter6 Год назад

Yeah look up jeep speed shop. They also have a kit to put the 8speed behind the 3.6 in the jk. It's using the ram 3.6 8speed transmission

@StormbornJKU Год назад

@@pjshooter6 well I’ve got the 3.8, that’s why I asked. I’d need a whole new transmission when I do the swap. Figured if I could do the 5 speed from the 3.6 it would likely save me some cash as I could find used from somebody with a 3.6 that did a swap to an 8 speed. But after hearing what he said about the differences between the 5 speed and 8 speed I might just go 8 speed.

@zegoflorida 11 месяцев назад

The 8 speed is great with the diesel in the JL as well… 100k warranty don’t hurt neither…. Me thinks the diesels will become sought after since they are toast now… 26-30 mpg….

@DL_Wiley Год назад

Can you retro fit the 8 speed if you already have the hemi?

@Exodus4x4 Год назад

Absolutely

40k to do the swap is soo soooo over priced. Im doing mine myself and its gonna cost me less than 5k total. Buying used low milage motor and trans and not using the full kit... just the wire harness and ecm.
