Back in the garage working on the 6.4 SRT Hemi V8 swap for my Jeep Wrangler!
In the last video, we removed the old 3.8 factory engine and dropped the 392 in place.
Not only am i upgrading to the 6.4 Hemi, but i am also running the 8 speed 8HP70 auto trans behind it. This is possible by using the Jeep Speed Shop kit! Jeep speed shop makes a ton of DIY parts that will allow you to do this Jeep Wrangler V8 swap at home in your garage.

So far, everything is fairly easy and straight forward. I strongly believe that anyone with some basic mechanical knowledge can do this swap (Along with some help from my videos).

I didnt mention it in the video, but Jeep speed shop will offer 10% off your order if you call in and mention that you were watching the JK Gear and Gadgets videos. I am not sponsored by them... and i paid fully for these parts, but i was able to get a discount code for you guys! (Thanks Ben!!...)
I am using their Hemi Wiring Harness, ECM, 8 speed trans mount, 8 speed kit, steering relocation, Camaro fan shroud and controller, and eventually their AC lines.
The JSS website can be hard to navigate, and reaching them on the phone can be hard. It is a small shop consisting of 3 people, however the kits and parts they make are outstanding, so be patient.

8 speed trans: 13-17 Ram 1500 4x4 w/5.7. this is a 8HP70

If you have any questions about the swap, please leave it in the comments so others can see my answers (This helps others, possibly years later if they have a similar question).

I hope this video shows you guys that it is not to complicated to do a Jeep Wrangler V8 conversion at home by yourself. Its not the cheapest project, however you can slowly buy parts, and do it yourself!

Thanks for watching
