Hemi vs LS (Not talking Swap) Just Engine vs Engine - Who is #1 (I am thinking of putting a V8 into a JK, but I would like to avoid taking this thread toward one engine or the other over the technicals of the swap itself, rather lets hear about the engines themselves. . So within the next month or so I plan on doing a motor swap on my jk. Now what are your opinion on LS vs Hemi. I already have a two spare supercharged GM LSX 7.5L 454ci motors( spare motors for the class 1 buggy). How hard would the swap be and what are my options for transmissions.

We're talking $3,000 on the top end for your 3.8 and over $10, closer to $15 plus on the other two. While the LS would be awesome, it's priced crazy.

And while the LS engine's reign at GM is coming to a close, they are sure to be popular for years to come—if not decades Mopar HEMI. The Mopar HEMI is a popular engine for a swap, possibly due to the company connection to the Jeep or the simply cool status that only the hemi carries. Just because a hemi is available in a Jeep Grand Cherokee doesn't make it an easy swap.

Interesting comments about the 4.8L GM V-8, rockosocko. This would make a good package for an XJ Cherokee or Jeep Wrangler swap. I like your point about the cost difference, the 4.8L being an ignored gem. Though Dodge/Chrysler is late to the game at encouraging V-8 swaps for Wranglers (JK) and other uses, Mopar has arrived CJ Off-Road's Hemi swap uses an engine found on a Ram truck. All in all, a 5.7L Hemi swap for a JL Wrangler gives it 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. This is a substantial power bump from the JL's 3.6L V6 engine, which makes 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Keep in mind that there are some physical differences between the Ram.
Not worth it. Go for a swap that is done often so you don't have to figure everything out.
