do a hemi!! it's not that bad!
just kidding, I'm feeling pretty ambitious these days.

That's a bummer though dude, but at least you'll be getting another 30hp and 20lbs of torque out of it. Will you get a remanufactured or a low miles used drop in?

That's awesome man. nothing to worry about then. Well you'll be happy, not only with you have all 8 cylinders again, but they will be stonger ones too haha. are you giving him your old one for core? Is it the jeep core with a forged crank or a dakota ho?

I wish mine would blow, and the warranty peeps wouldn't cover it so I could start a hemi swap
