[QUOTE="Vman, post: 447149, member: 22091"] Jeep speed shop and some others offer kits for doing the swap. It's a lot more than just the engine though. Radiator, exhaust, intake, computer and other things will cost about $10k. Then you need an engine and transmission. If you want a v8 the hemi is a great option as another mopar engine will be the simplest install and to work on in the future. You can pair an 8 speed tranny with the hemi, which solves a number of issues like gearing and tire size. Lot more flexibility than you have with the 4 speed 42RLE auto in the '08. [/QUOTE]
