2012 Durango Hemi into JK

[toddc78]

Hello, I was looking to do a hemi or ls swap into my jku and recently came across a wrecked 2012 durango with a 5.7 hemi. I know there are "ideal" cars to pull the hemis from for a jk but would this machine be a good start given that it is a complete vehicle and has the trans, wiring and engine? Thanks in advance!!

Being a complete car to start with I would agree. Being wrecked could be a gamble. Need to inspect for broken/cracked mounts, broken bolts and holes, cracked trans housing/bell housing some of those type issues could be a pain in the A$$

JK Gear and Gadgets (on youtube) finished his hemi swap a few months back and he does an amazing job of walking you through the options beyond only the things he did. He provides links to what you will need, he even tells you how much things cost.

Must watch series for someone contemplating this sort of operation.
