Here is the email I got back from 4ws.com when I inquired about the 5.7 with Manual transmission:
Morning Sir, We use the G238 transmission out of the large trucks. The cost on this swap will be roughly $19,200 that includes the engine and transmission with a Chrysler 1 Year warranty and all the other parts needed for the swap. We can also do any other work you want done while it's here I.E lift kit, gears, lockers, wheels and tires Ect. It normally takes 2 to 2.5 weeks to do a swap so it would be best to drop the jeep off the pick it up when it's done.

From what I have heard from most people is the 5.7 is performing better since the current program Chrysler has released is designed to optimize the performance of that engine.

At the moment the AEV kit limits you to an auto from the 5.7 They are working on a manual version at the moment, and an auto that Chrysler puts behind the 6.1 SRT vehicles that has a closer gear ratio to keep the engine more in its powerband. At the moment I have been hearing people saying there is hesitation, and dead spots in the performance of the 6.1 unless you keep it floored because the transmision offered doesn't perform well with the 6.1.
