You do realize you can get Hemi and LS motors used for about the same price as the $5400 3.8L stroker? Not all V8 swaps are $20k and up.
Also, both motors mentioned in my above post, well they have both had issues. Some serious, some manageable, there are still issues with tweaking the 3.8L.
Boring and stroking the 3.8L is asking for a different set of issues over factory. The work done to that JK in the article was comp'd, it was for free, for a magazine editor. I will leave it at that.
Okay fair enough, if I wanted to do a swap on the cheap and was capable of doing most of the work myself what would be my best option, used 6.0 or 6.2 and 6l80E and a builders kit from motech if I wanted to go LS ?
