Default 2011 Jeep 3.8l swap to a 2018 3.6l

I am just starting a swap on my 2011 3.8l and have purchased a 2018 3.6l Ripp Supercharged engine.

I'll start by saying it's not any help to tell me I should go with a Hemi swap or LS instead because I already have the 3.6l

With the purchase of the engine I also got
Automatic Transmission
Transfer Case
Computer with Vin number in
Rad
Aftermarket exhaust
Hoses clamps etc.
Cold air intake
Programmer
Catch Can
Engine mounts on the 3.6l
Wiring harness

I've noticed in other threads that there is still more parts I need to ask for.
Does anyone know the parts list that is also required.

I have it in a Jeep shop but think they have no clue what they are doing

Has anyone detailed this swap before and have any unusual insite to having it go as smoothly as possible.

Thanks

I'm assuming the driveshafts are different lengths between the two engine configurations so may need to get those from a donor or aftermarket. I'm not entirely sure though. might need to research that first.

Yes I believe that would be correct but will have to wait till engine installed

Thanks for your thoughts

The heading will throw you but this link outlines what Saharcon did to first do a 3.8 to 3.6 swap then he goes on to a Hemi 392 swap.
