When I last checked in Melbourne, the cost of swapping a 3.8L to a 5.8L Hema was about $40000 and would take about a weeks work. I shuddered but then again it would be cheaper than buying a new vehicle. I do not know if this included other thingies such as changed steering bits and pieces etc, auto gearbox, etc.

Oh and Quadratec has rebuilt 3.8L engines for about $3700US (about $5700Aus) plus shipment of course. And I have come across 07 JK with the 3.8L engine that have done in xs of 300000km.
