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.

Default My HEMI swap into my '07 Sahara...
Ok guys, let the project begin... I have started my own "home/shop" HEMI swap into my 2007 Sahara Unlimited. I am dropping in a 2008 5.7L HEMI from a 1500 Dodge Ram. Gerry at Screamin Lizard Customs is my "Project Leader" along with him providing parts from AEV. Here are a few pictures and more at: www.BenHedrick.com (click: HEMI Swap Page)




















So far myself and my Crew Chief Buffalo have spent about a day and half to get to this stage. The 3.8L and Trans has been completely removed and we will be cutting out the motor mounts and installing the new ones hopefully next week. All so far is moving along smoothly... Stay tuned and check my website for more pics.

Nice project to undertake by yourself, but it seems you are able! Good Luck!

Good luck with the build. I wish I could fit a full height basketball hoop in my garage.

Was wondering if this project was still a go. Good to see you are getting started on. Looks like a great start.
