05 Jeep 5.7 complete setup

Assuming the motor and trans are in good shape $1500.00 is an excellent deal.

This swap isn't cheap, but it can be done cheaply, and when one considers that a set of headers and a cam has these motors putting out 450HP+, it becomes a nice package. Sure you can get 450 HP out of an LA or Magnum motor, but you'd have 5K into it.

The question becomes how much do you want to do yourself. If the motor comes with a complete harness, you can sit down with a factory service manual and simply cut away the stuff you're not using. Slow? Yes. Time consuming? Definitely. Worth the effort? Maybe.

The same is true for a fuel system. You can spend $800.00 on an intank custom fuel tank, plus an external fuel regulator. Or you can use an external Walbro pump for $110.00 and a fuel filter/regulator from a Corvette for $68.00.

The key to making this swap affordable is the amount of homework you do before you start buying parts.

Ask lot of questions. Keep us posted on your progress.
