Default Hemi 6.1 swap "kit"?

Since we're outside USA, bringing the Jeep to a specialized shop to do the work is out of the question i wonder if you can buy all the parts, including the wiring, ECU, engine and auto tranny, from one source to do a complete engine swap? The Hesco is a good performance upgrade, but isn't comparable to a 6.1 Hemi

Contact the guys at www.ScreamingLizard.com They are a sponsor here and have done several so far. They should be able to tell you what you need and help locate all the parts.

I remember reading about a complete kit being available. I think AEV is making it. I'll have to look, I think it was in the EJS pics from this year.

Nice kit, i've checked AEV's website and there's nothing about this, so i assume it's not available yet, anyone know when it could be ready for sale?

On the 22nd of July someone asked this question on AEVs forum. They said a couple more weeks. So any day now they should have this available. I am really curious about this kit as well.

Definitely gonna be a big seller if the price is much less than the going swap rate now.

http://www.burnsvilleoffroad.com/Hemi/Hemi57.aspx I believe the pricing listed is including installation....but it says you can call for specific prices for the home gamer.

AEV. I didn't read the site...but it's there
