it is you spaz ls crate motors are cheaper yes you may find second hand hemis on ebay usa for 1800 us but you will also find the equivelant year chev engine cheapr with a higher hp output
and companies like advance adapters and novak conversions have more options for gm motors than any other

rod the hard truth is that it is cheaper to buy a ls2 than it is to buy a hemi go on aev,s website and look at the parts bill required for the conversion then price it all up or infact look at the prices they have on there in us dollars then convert it to aud . considering you can buy an ls2 from eagle auto spares for $4500 aud from dandenong and a pcm for $1000 .
and im sure there would be crate motor ls2s in the usa cheaper than what mopar sell them for .

last time AEV posted on this forum they couldnt even get a 6.1 hemi to perform properly with a 545re auto that is used with the conversion and were getting better results with
the 5.7 hemi .

why you guys think the hemi is the be all and end all of all motors is beyond me


if ya wanna rev it chev it

In OZ to do a Hemi conversion will cost around 30,000K which is ridicolus and hardly any local expertise on Hemi for tunning or parts.
LS is the best option but unfortunately not good for JKs currently bec of the electrics and computer.
