First Drive In Our 6.4 Hemi Swap Jeep Wrangler!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 бер 2021
- In this video, I am test driving our Jeep Wrangler for the first time since the V8 Swap! Yes, Ben and I were tackling TWO V8 Swaps at once! While I was out of town for a few weeks, he did a DIY 6.4L HEMI Swap in our garage. Today I get to drive the new 392 HEMI installed in our 4 door Jeep Wrangler both on the road and off the road. Lets find out what the hype is about a V8 swapped Jeep Wrangler!
Most of you guys know, i am installing a 5.3 LS style engine into my 2006 Jeep Wrangler. its been a long process, but we are close to the end! Now that I've drove the Hemi jeep, i really got the motivational push to finish up my swap.
I know a lot of people are excited to see how the LS compares to the hemi... As well as the costs associated with both. But first.... I need to finish my swap.
Having the V8 in the JK is amazing. The acceleration is effortless, even with the big axles and tires. And when you get on it, it has more than enough power to move the jeep quickly. Its really a pretty crazy driving experience. Im not saying that everyone needs a V8 swap, but man its fun!
Its time to get back in the garage and finish up this Jeep Build!!
Upcoming Parts install:
Holley Hooker Jeep Wrangler LS swap exhaust
Flexalite TJ LS swap radiator
Tattons Driveshaft
New secret ecm and wiring harness
Jeep Upgrade of the Week!!

Congrats on 100K subscribers. *Refreshing to watch you guys that do the majority of work on your Jeeps* and doesn't sound like a constant commercial. Watching *your girls grow is an added bonus.*
It's awesome watching channels such as your's and Ben's grow, and *Matt's Off Road Recovery* grow as well, without you guys having to resort to cheap tricks for views.
i watched matt when he basically had no subscribers just because i was looking for an XJ towing stuff lol
@@headlesnorseman701 Matt's channel has exploded. He seems to be a very genuine person as Ben and Cassie do as well.
YOUR HUSBAND IS A LUCKY GUY TO HAVE YOU!!
You guys have the best two Jeep channels on youtube. Your girls are growing fast, don't blink your eyes, they will be grown.
woo
Yeah I know about the daughter thing mines going to college soon. Just think of the levels they'll take the Jeeps when there daughters are out of the house......LOL
Love it, love it, love it!!!
As a Mainland Chinese, thrilled to know Jeep is now partly owned by Dongfeng of China 🇨🇳
2 V-8 swapped Jeeps and a 392 Charger. You guys have the best toys.
Wow.. you guys rock. Also, it's awesome that you guys involve your kids.
Absolutely amazing!! The sound is so good and the power is awesome!
Love both of your jeep channels
Congratulations you guys you guys definitely deserve it and your 2 channels are the only 2 channels on UA-cam that I recommend to everybody.
Killing it as always!

Cassie crushing it in the intro! 🔥

I think you need some deserved subs as well!👍
One year ago! Wow
Great job guys
Thats so awesome! 2 v8 Jeeps... Its going to be close performance wise between your LJ and Ben's JK... Cant wait to see the comparison video.
New to your channel , but did I hear South Padre ? That’s awesome! I’m in Harlingen with a 2006 LJ
This is my goal with my JKU... Nice Channel!
Always enjoy the videos. Tough break on the Charger.
I’ve been thinking about buying one of those drive shafts it’s a hell of a deal and they look legit can’t wait to see how they hold up might make my decision a little easier lol
Smash huge Congrats on your award 🤸😁👍 both of you are hilarious 🤣😂😅😆 great video content .
Hope you get 100k! Great channel!
Great to hear you are TX people as well!
She’s back!!!!!!!
I was in south padre island in 1970. My dad worked there for a bit.
Nice, thinking about the same thing for my JK, but in Ca.
Sweet!
dont forget tuning after the cam is broken in. even the "off the shelf" tunes arent that good. they have some serious power and even fuel mileage to pick up from a good dyno tune. its also a fun video to make lol
Super jelly for the engine swap. Up here in Canuckistan no insurance company will cover an engine swap like that on the road.
Ben, you have absolutely no idea how lucky your are to be married to a woman who loves jeeps, can work on jeeps AND can do donuts in the dirt. Where did you find this gem? I've had a new Gladiator for 3 months now and my wife has yet to even ride in it. I'm so jealous!! Thank you both so much for your videos.
I hear you brother. I wish my fiance had as much enthusiasm about enjoying offroading in my JK as she does watching the f-ing Voice, or The Bachelor.
Keep Jeepin classy! 👍💯💪
she does keep it classy, not every other word has to be bleeped out. Much easier to watch.
Felicidades !!
That Hemi swap is sweet! Not sure if you know, but when climbing and crawling it's best to run that trans' in 1st or 2ct gear, and not in drive. Something to do with the way the electronics and the torque-converter works.
Lights in front of you would help a lot in the garage. OR simply turn around. I know I know you wanted the SRT Jeep in the background. :)
You are doing a great job!
I like a manual in an underpowered vehicle but to idle up with a auto is awesome.
awesome! I followed along with Ben's swap, but honestly.. I want to see how yours goes. LJ's gotta stick together! :D I recently picked up a tow rig finally, with a 6.2L in it man maaaan.. I never really knew what I was missing never owning a V8... Now im thinking we need to swap v8's into all the things.. My LJ, the wife's JKU, the Kids barbie jeep, everything.
Been loving the build...Ive got an 07 wrangler...kind of stuck between selling or trading for a new vehicle or upgrading the engine.
JGG. Those red bikini sun shades are so cool for a JK Hemi' during spring break ! Does the 8 speed ZF Tranny do the 'two foot' when off the brake for 3 sec.'s ? V.
Those are nice
Kids are adorable
Subscribed!
An off road 1/4 mile race would be cool.
Hey guys I need some advice. I’m in the process of ordering the front and rear 60. I have the 3.6 will I struggle with power going with 40s or will I be ok ? Also the rip super charger offers a boost for the 3.6. U put in the coil packs was it enough before you did the engine swap or did you just want more with the 1 tons ? Thanks
When you did the Hemi swap did you have to do anything to you BCM? Also, did you have to change the VIN on the ECU? Thanks
Bens will win based of the transmission alone
This has been a lot of fun to watch you two. Ben, i am really impressed with your skills and knowledge. Actually both of you!
Manual transmission is always the right answer.
Oh man it sounds so GOOD!
She is good explain everything 😀😀
Love the video, thanks for sharing your experiences and content. I'm a novice and would never consider attempting a HEMI swap myself for lots of reasons: tools, garage space to work on it, and experience to know what the heck I'm doing; you made it look a lot easier than I would've thought. I have to ask, do all of the dash lights concern you? It would seem that you probably intend to resolve this so fault lights become meaningful but I had to ask. Thanks again!
The lights are from the one ton swap. It’s just the wheel speed sensors. I’ll fix them eventually, but it doesn’t bother anything
@@JKGearandGadgets Good deal; if it had been me I would have freaked out!
I'll be honest. I Think the Hemi may perform better, this is because we blew valves in the AMC 360 that we have in the CJ-7 and were comparing costs for a rebuild vs an LS swap and actually found that as far as HP goes the 5.3 is comprable but the AMC had more Torque which is what we need moreso for our applications. But, maybe because of the 40's and the JKU being heavier they may perform almost the same. 🤷♀️ Definitely excited to see though 💖
That right there is why we plan on building our 401 and not doing an LS swap
What doors do you have on ur rig?
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳yay 100,000
Great video, I'm guessing you don't have an HOA?
We do
Awhile is a understatement 😅 😆 lol
What rims are you running?
Can you put a Hemi in a jeep Liberty 2010 let me know please.
Hey Cassie and Ben! Love you guys! I have a 2.5” lift and my rear end is sagging. It’s a 14 JKU. Can I throw a set of 3.5” springs to bring it up? Thanks!
Yep! Either new springs or small spacers
Cassy.... Not sure if you can tell..... But the TX Drawl.... Is growing on you...... Just saying 🤣
You still do the “Jeep wave”?
That Wrangler drives like a dream now huh? I can't understand why they would build such a heavy suv with such a weak engine from the factory. Now with the Hemi it no longer struggles to move it's own weight.
Hey where did you get that red sunshade?
I can’t find one for the life of me that’s less than 50 bucks or in that range
I got a rugged ridge one for cheap
16k views and only 1.5k likes get to hitting the thumbs up guys it's totally free for you to do.... Can't wait to see the LS swap finished!
I think the hemi is gonna beat the LS because of the transmissions
That JKU is super heavy though compared to Cassie’s. It will be fun to watch. I do think you might be right - that hemi/tranny combo in Ben’s is crazy.
@@528Circle well it’s 4 speed in cassies Jeep is why I’m thinkin it goes to ben
agree
LS + TJ Unlimited = Winner Winner Chicken Dinner !
Awesome!!! can't wait to see this swap completed!!!
Now I gotta question since your putting a ls in the lj are you thinking putting tons and 40s because since you have the scatpack now you can do that and it can serve as a vid and stretch two
they already did the jk axle swap on the LJ big upgrade for an LJ
Why the LS over the Hemi? Cost? I would want the Hemi and 8 spd myself. I’d take the 5.7 and 8 spd.
Bens Hemi is going to crush your LS. The 8 speed will make all the difference.
HEMI SWAP THE WORLD!!!!+
Do you think that thing can do Bunce School Road?
Yes
What skill or craft would you like to master?
LJ is going to smoke that JK
No offence to the hemi guys out there but the 2-door with a cammed ls is gonna rip guys. I dont think you even understand what its going to be like. Can wait!
Ben isn’t drinking in this video must be a bad day!
Congrats! 😀👍 That 6.4 soumds sooooo sweet.
How much did the swap cost I’m getting ready to do one either ls or hemi
Check out Ben’s most recent video!
Keep Jeep’n classy!
she does keep it classy, not every other word has to be bleeped out. Much easier to watch.
When u get to dive her JEEP dive it like u stole it now that pay back LOL good JOB
torque converter may correct that 4low crawling
This makes me want my Jeep back. Cool rides you guys
Congratulations!!!
Inane how that crawled up the hill idling!
My S1 Range Rovers would do the same with their ex Buick V8s and 4 speed manuals, the torque at idle in low 1st was great for crawling over obstacles and engine breaking was excellent.
Those two ladies are soooo cute.
Hemi Power
For real.. You both win on my account
1/4 mile vid is a must!
Sweet build!! LS LJ gonna kill 💪🏼👊🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video
