There's stock low-milage JK engines for sale leftover from Hemi installs. Try the local Jeep places first before searching further afield. River Raider probably a good call as they would install it also if u need.

Hemi installs are $15-20k. At least 7+ for the engine and transmission, 3 for the wiring harness and parts, and rest for the labor etc.

Either find another motor from a wrecked jeep or someone who swapped the Hemi, or just do the Hemi. If you're mechanically convident it can be done for under 10g's. Ill take that upgrade for a few dollars more all day.
sorry to hear this happened though. If nothing else your insurance should cover it.
