Hey, i haven't checked the site lately, but is there any info out there on possibly throwing a new 5.7 Hemi into a Tj?
Or has anyone allready done this?
thanks

Unless you're rich, I would look at throwing some other small-block V8 crate motor into it. A 360 would be sweet and probably cost you far less. Or if you're not a Mopar purist, the 350 SBC swap has been done many times and is pretty economical.

Depends on if you want new parts or junkyard parts. If you're going for a new crate motor + tranny, you should be able to do it right for ~$7500 give or take.
