With the Charger engine, how much changing of pulleys/accessories do you have to do. I know they recommend the Grand Cherokee/Commander engines. How much $$ will those changes add ?

That is one of the reasons i went with BOR, i did not have to change the accessories. The only thing needed is GC exhaust manifolds. If you find a 05-08 GC/comander take out, the AEV kit is awesome but thats really all they support. Which is fine, it didnt work with the engines i had more access to.

And for those looking, the best place i have found is car-part, LKQ and most other post on there. I work in insurance and the auto guys i know all suggested car-part for just engines. You can sometimes get a deal on the whole car @ copart. Most insurance compaies use them to do their salvages. you would just have a whole car to deal with. For VVT search 2009 Jeep GC 5.7 Auto 4x4 and for non VVT just 08. If you can't find a GC take out you will have to get a Dodge Ram Trans from an 08 5.7 4x4 auto. Those searches give you all the items that fit.
