Hemi & Diesel conversions shown in this Vid on JK Chassis, body's removed, gives a good view of everything. Note Hemi conversion in a 2012-2013 JK keeps original Auto Trans, its the same Transmission in a new Grand Cherokee, G/Box built by Mercedes.

swerve test was a walk in the park for my lifted JK on 35's, Brake test passed easy too, properly set up yours will do fine.
Yeh there's adaptors for Chevy, ford, Cummins n a few others but I haven't seen any for the later hemis. I just went with the Burnsville offroad kit. This is my first engine swap so I needed it to be as easy as possible. If I had the time and fab knowledge I would've gone straight with a t56. The getrag will handle the 6.7 hemis alright, as a few blokes in America thrash them n hold up alright, but they must be sitting on the limit.

Axles im not too worried about, the vsb 14 is a bit vague on that area, so its up to the engineer. Main thing is to get the engine passed first.
