1. Aev.ae has stopped doing the hemi conversions
2. I would do the swap in an older model jk (2007-2011) as the pentastar has enough bhp
3. BOR or Burnsville offroad hemi conversions are ok but the AEV (american expedition vehicles) conversions are way cleaner
4. If you have the cash to do the conversion ..... then go for it ..... i would ..... not that i need it but its a hemi ....
Cheers

I would not prefer this conversion for Off-road vehicle due to below reasons:
1. This will increase vehicle weight.
2. Distance travelled in full tank will be reduced significantly as they will not install bigger fuel tank.
3. Penestar engine has enough power +285hp. That will have more worth for older model JK (2007-2011).
4. Also need to upgrade cooling system, suspension and engine mounting.
