@@jku392adventure but the ones that go on the engine, did you buy those there too? I see you remove the original ones

As always, incredible content! Can't believe you took on a 6.4 swap in your garage!

[@jku392adventure]

Hey thanks Steve! Glad you enjoyed! And yes it's definitely testing all my patience and knowledge! 😂😂😂

[@S.Lueck88]

Keep up the videos. Love all the details you include. I'm getting things together and ready to do my swap.

[@jku392adventure]

Thank you! Glad they are helping 🤙

Surprised no one opts for the 4.7 they had in the Commander, seems it would be a great motor for the Wrangler. Then a mechanic friend of mine told me avoid all “point 7” motors by Mopar.

[@jku392adventure]

Yeah I don't know enough about that motor, but why avoid all the .7 hemis? I feel the 5.7s are pretty decent, but the 6.4s are less reliable 😂

Great job

[@jku392adventure]

Thank you!

[@beach1830]

[@jku392adventure]

Thanks Harold! And yeah gotta lock locktite! Making things confusing! And yeah yeah yeaaaaaaaa. I know Erik has 40s and tons 😂😂😂 you are both bad influences!

[@GollyGWillikers]

We gotta work on him more… I told him it would make for a nice spring project. 😂

[@jku392adventure]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 someday I'll be cool like you guys!

[@xcool809]

Do you have your stock cats? And would you consider selling them

[@jku392adventure]

Unfortunately they sold with the motor

[@kylenewton4798]

Did you do the rear main seal because it was used 6.4? Or while you're in there?

[@jku392adventure]

The motor was a little higher milage, so we figured mite as well since it's so easy to get to and change, and not expensive.

[@kylenewton4798]

Ah understood, and the 6.4 doesnt do the 2010 GC front accessories right?

[@jku392adventure]

Like do they fit on the 6.4? They should all fit any gen3 hemi I believe

[@kylenewton4798]

@@jku392adventure im doing a 5.7 lx motor. Told the 2010 front drive acc is better. But still can make a stock challenger fix. My 3.8 ac got 150k miles on it 😅

[@jku392adventure]

Yeah I didn't wanna spend the money to change everything around for just a little bit of space, my charger 6.4 is perfect with the amount of space it has
