Its time to start up the Jeep Wrangler JK Hemi swap video series!! In this video series, i will show you how to install a newer Hemi engine into your Jeep Wrangler at home!
Tons of people dream about having a powerful Hemi engine in their Jeep, however it can be very expensive to pay a shop. There arent very many DIY guides for people who are willing to tackle this project at home in their garage, until now!

In this first episode, we take a look at the different ways you can start this project. Choosing the Hemi engine is the first critical step.
The 6.4 Hemi is by far the most popular choice, due to the crazy amount of power it makes. Its also the engine that Jeep is putting in its new 392 Rubicon JL.
The 5.7 is another fantastic option, often overlooked, it can be an amazing engine swap in a jeep that also comes out more budget friendly.
The swap process will be very similar with both engines!

The next decision to make is to figure out what transmission you want to use. The 2 best options in my opinion, is the Nag1 and the 8HP70.
The nag1 will only work in 2012+ JKs, whereas the 8 speed kit from JeepSpeedShop will work with any year JK.
I did kind of talk down on the 545rfe a little too hard in this video. In the past it was the only auto trans option for hemi swaps in 0711 JKs. Its not the ideal trans for this power, however alot of people have ran that combo with success. In my mind, if we are doing this swap, i want a trans that can handle anything i throw out of it, and 4 speeds just simply doesn't cut it for me.

Now, the 8 Speed Transmission has never been a common swap in the past. The only reason this is possible, is due to the Jeep Speed Shop 8 swap kit. If you want to run the 8 speed, you will need to source a 8HP70 from a 1317 ram 1500 4x4. I found my transmission for $600, used with 30K on ebay. We will also have to purchase a CHALLENGER shifter from 20152018 any engine model.
And finally, purchase the 8 speed kit from JSS for $1,500.

In the next video, i will start a complete parts list of what parts are needed, as well as links to them.

Hopefully this video will be a good start to the Hemi Swap video series. I know it was a lot of talking, however it is critical information to consider before someone starts this swap.

Thanks for watching, and ill see you guys soon.
