JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

1- is that a reasonable price for a rebuilt motor?

I'm thinking If I bought it I would like it to be modified ( since it's not put back together) to a 6.1/6.4 Hemi

2- Would it be possible to have a manual for a 6.1 6.4? ( I know the new chargers have manuals in them and they have a 6.1 Hemi)

3- If that doesn't work would an adapter work with the 6spd I have now?

4- I want to supercharge this engine but also use it as a Daily driver ( any recommendations? ( I hear of some mods being done to the engine it's self) to make it handle all of that power.

Thanks
I just took a quick peek on ebay there is a complete 5.7 hemi with 4wd trans from a durango with computer, harness's all engine accessories etc says only 13,000 miles on engine with vehicle title, and compression test on each cylinder for only 3149. Sounds like a bargain to me. I might jump on this one and make building this engine up my winter project. Also saw a Viper drivetrain for like 8k
