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.

Dan,
Is there any chance we could get some videos or sound clips of the JKs with swaps that you've done?
Thanks!

Default JK engine swap

Hey Brian,
I am fixing to swap in a 5.7 Hemi. It was the obvious choice because the 4.7 has only about 20 more horsepower than the 3.8 that came stock. I am swapping both engine and transmission and going to an atlas transfer case so most of the swap consists of motor mounts and a trans crossmember. Street and performance in Arkansas can help with any wiring you need. Burnsville said he would have engine mounts for sale some time in the future. I am getting my engine and transmission from the same truck so I will get the factory mounts and modify them to work.Hope this helps.
Will

Keep us inform on pricing for the 5.7Hemi swap as if less than 2K, I will surely do it as I see some motor & trans here for about 2K so I can got it cheap.

AEV pricing and options will most likely not be set until after April EJS, as I was told by them.

Give Jack at Avenger Superchargers a call. I know he already has done a 3.8 Supercharger. I was way happy with my blower from him on the 4.0 TJ. I absolutely loved it, and the install was a breeze. When I talked to him at SEMA he said that the 3.8 was much easier because of the new computer in the JK. Power was great, and no adapters to have to deal with.

I THINK the cheapest his site lists them for is a little ove 14K, thats turnkey with engine and tranny installed.
