With the Jeep Wrangler Jk Hemi swap build coming to a close, it’s time to take a look at a full price breakdown.
There are a lot of ways to do a DIY Hemi swap. Some ways can be more expensive, and others can be more budget friendly.
For my Jeep V8 swap, I decided to keep it easy in some aspects, while saving some money in other areas. Using Jeep speed shop components for the swap allowed the project to go very smoothly. The install of the engine and trans isn’t difficult at all. The JSS wiring harness and computer also made it extremely easy.
Overall, the project wasn’t overly complicated and it’s something I believe most people can do themselves.
Sure, you could drop your Wrangler off at a shop and have them install it for $32k... but doing it yourself can be a lot more reasonable to the average person,
Sure, it’s still a lot of money, however it’s something you can save up for and buy parts as your budget allows.
Having the 6.4 (392) Hemi in a jeep is amazing. 485 horsepower is insane, and I can see why Jeep wanted to offer this (as well as why they are asking a premium price). It is a blast to drive, and even the 5.7 Hemi would be an amazing choice.
I know I didn’t talk about Mpg in this video, I ran out of time, it will be covered in a future video.
Now a lot of people always ask about supercharger/turbo Jeep wranglers vs a Hemi swap.
Sure... boosting your V6 will make a lot of power, but it’s not going to last forever. It is a short term power gain. Eventually the v6 will blow up or die on you from all the added stress on the engine. Whereas a v8 is designed for the power and will give you no issues for many years with proper maintenance.
Ask around, see how many people have supercharged their jeep and blew it up (and then ended up going with a V8)... I only know 2-3 people who have had a supercharged Jk last more than 3 years and over 30k miles... so it’s up to you!
This DIY Hemi swap made my Jeep fun to drive again, at a reasonable price!
