Well hope you do post it because last time I asked about a price to someone else and he's response was "if you have to ask how much it is means you can't afforded it pal" but then again it was at another forum!

What I can tell you is that if you do it with a brand new crate motor, you'll be looking at no less than $25K+. We're going the junkyard motor route and can tell you that the price is a lot more reasonable. If you do a 5.3L, it would be even more affordable, enough so that I would definitely consider it over a supercharger.

That's one or the best parts about owning a jeep is all the hand on mods. I have learned a ton from local keepers and this forum. Thanks Eddie for all the write ups!

Cudos for the power train choice! I've always been a big Chev fan from my drag racing days. Use to run Chevelles back when, er, let's just say Reagan was kind of a big deal at the time. The LS is an amazing platform as with just a bit of tuning and tweeking can make big power gains. The Hemi is a good motor to be sure, but it seems to make it's best power higher up in the RPM range whereas the LS seems to come on sooner in the lower RPM range which is perfect for a trail rig. Good low end is where it's at! As one of my race day mentors use to say, build a motor with enough torque to tilt the earth on it's axis and that's when you know you have enough motor.

I'm quoting WOL here because it's a great point about the 5.3 Vortec.. We've had a ton of 6.0 and 5.3 vortec in our trucks at work and I can tell you right now, numbers aside, the 5.3 kicks the 6.0's ass in power even though numbers tell you different.. No idea what it is but that "little" 5.3 is a bad ass little motor.. Super charge the 5.3 with heads and a cam and it's a monster

Yeah, we will just make it work. Since installing the Mastercraft seats, we haven't really had a perfectly matched interior anyway, so a little more gray might be a good thing.
I love the seats, I want to add new seats to my JK. Was the installation straight forward or was it a pain in the Butt.? Also, do you detail Mobby all the time:yup: Its always looks so clean and nice. :thumb: Mobby is one sweet JEEP!
Installation wasn't too difficult - pretty straight forward and yes, I try really hard to keep all our Jeeps as clean as possible
