Allot of people have been asking me for a wrap up video explaining costs and information on the jeep hemi swap project, in this video i try to explain some of the things after testing and working through some trouble shooting. Hope you enjoy this break down and go over video of the project thanks again for watching

Bro keep posting about hemi swap , I assure you there are people following. Great videos!!

[@jn7282]

Great video and very informative. Just got done with my hemi swap about 2 weeks ago. I ended going with the GC 5.7 with the 545RFE. Overall very happy with it, had some cooling issues but otherwise fairly straightforward. Only thing I don't like is the power steering after the swap. Steering is great unless you're under 5mph, then power steering is practically non-existent.

[@ghostlyrich]

Which pump did you use

[@jn7282]

@@ghostlyrich I reused the pump from the GC and swapped out the valves and springs so I could reuse the factory PS line from the JK.

[@ghostlyrich]

Lol i haven’t done that with the ram pump yet and so far lines have been fine haha

[@joellaurin9007]

"I did it because I wanted too" love it!

[@andrewzinck614]

Great update video. I talked to you about the Rpm extreme cambus well I love it. That thing keeps things cool .

[@ghostlyrich]

Awesome man! Yea works great

[@gsdls]

This is impressive

[@desertadventures4221]

Omg awesome video

[@markmadison7628]

any idea if I could use my stock JK fan out of my 2011 with 3.8 with the VVT truck 5.7?

[@ghostlyrich]

Actually dont know. I would look up if the part numbers the same for both fan clutchs for clutch assembly on rock auto

[@treadbroker]

I did have a conversation with Todd at JSS yesterday and he confirmed that you cannot used that fan but I believe he said because of the actual cooling capability. Not necessarily a fitment issue. I went ahead and ordered the Camaro fan and shroud from him anyways. Thank you for the great videos as I’m just getting started and trying to figure it all out

[@marlonrec1522]

Which bellhousing do you recomend for a nag1? (6.4 swap)

[@ghostlyrich]

Any car that came with the hemi even if it was 5.7 it works with 6.4. Example 2012 dodge challenger cor Chrysler 300c

[@marlonrec1522]

Can I use the 6.4 stock harness for the swap?

[@abuncharandomstuff]

I'm in the initial stages of planning the swap. Do I try and find an engine from a Challenger if I was going to go the car route? I also haven't watched all of your videos but it looks like you show all of the steps. Was there anything else out there you'd recommend I look at?

[@ghostlyrich]

Definitely get yourself a challenger engine around 2014 ish just so it has the newer eagle heads and all that jaz. If you’re not gonna rebuild, the engine, definitely get something that is low kilometres as well or miles if you’re in the states.

[@beeski_on_30sfinally77]

also junk yard and a lot of auction have the car 5.7 hemi everywhere and would be much cheaper and easier to come by

[@ghostlyrich]

Exactly, i would Just rebuild it so you don’t install a faulty one

[@beeski_on_30sfinally77]

@@ghostlyrich fact im trying to cut as much cost as i can because this is a very expensive swap but that makes it some what worth wild

[@beeski_on_30sfinally77]

question if u use a car 5.7 hemi it comes with a nag 1 transmission is it the same as the nag 1 in the jeep

[@ghostlyrich]

Im sure you could :)

[@ghostlyrich]

I would message todd at jeep shop to be 100% sure but i cant see it being a problem since its controlled by the pcm. Whats awesome is that pcm and wiring harness should be good to you just need the pcm reprogrammed to your vehicle (security key and pin)

[@Starbase80reject]

So am i able to keep 3.6 fan with the 6.4 hemi? Just about to start my swap

[@ghostlyrich]

Yes if it is out of a car, if its out of truck and has water pump pulley “threads of pulley” will need a Camaro ss fan

[@Starbase80reject]

Oh i see. I have a crate 6.4 for a challenger/charger

[@ala8649]

3000$ even for the nag1 ? that might be a little expensive since the 8 speed kit is 1500 and the transmission is around 1000 dont you think its better just to go with the 8 speed ?

[@ghostlyrich]

Sorry the 3000$ if for the 8 speed, 1500$ for kit say 900$ for 8 speed then you need the charger shifter and tranny lines so i rounded to 3000$ The nag 1 is just. The bell housing

[@trayfasho3069]

Does it run?

[@ghostlyrich]

Perfectly

[@gerardomendoza9688]

I would just use the truck mechanical fan and problem solved, less electrics and less parts waiting to fail. If i get a car 5.7 i just change the water pump to truck one to run the truck mechanical fan and problem solved again.

[@ghostlyrich]

It’s a parasitic loss of power but again if you don’t mind the power loss 100% go ahead with the mechanical fan

[@gerardomendoza9688]

@@ghostlyrich ya for a Jeep i wouldn't mind the 3hp loss 😄 i wouldn't try to win any races in it anyway just the get up and go of the V8 😛

[@ghostlyrich]

Lol forsure just be sure to grab the jss mechanical shrowd or fab one up if you can and your good to go

[@TheRedStateBlue]

while i appreciate the effort, hemi swaps are really stupid. LS swaps are infinitely smarter and better. the LS has been around so long, you'll never not have parts for it. much better transmission options with the LS, too.
