Cost to do a Hemi 5.7 or 6.4 swap in a Jeep Gladiator?

[Chrysler-Factory-Warranty]

I'm sure someone has already answered this question somewhere. What is a good estimate of what it cost to do a Hemi 5.7 or a 6.4 swap in a Jeep Gladiator? Also any places near Indiana that will do this?

Thanks

$35K+, depending on the motor, per Rubitrux

These guys seem to do a great job from folks on YouTube and have different options.

edit: this mostly applies to me, I really have no business owning a JT either.

Keep in mind that any of the 6.4 and Hellcat swap costs will not usually include the upgrade axles and drive shafts that will be needed and will push you into 3/4-1 ton axles that will run another $20K and then another $3K-$4K for tires and wheels. You can easily find yourself $60K plus into a proper swap when all said and done.

Ask litebrite, they just tore up a brand new 392 to do an engine swap lol.

A base 5.7L swap would be cool. The 8 speed and 5.7L was my favorite part of my old Ram. Such a great combination, IMO. Smooth power delivery and great fuel economy for the vehicle size.

I’m not a fan of frivolous trade-ins, but if Jeep did a Hemi option with a Rubicon in ‘23+, I might consider a trade-in.

do your research on these guys. It’s not all favorable including from at least one member here whose spent 6 figures with them and now has lawyers involved.

There used to be a place on the east side of Cincinnati I believe. Can't remember the damned name though.

High lift offroad, Cincinnati, OH. Nuthouse Industries, Marrow, OH are listed as authorized Installers.

5.7 Hemi is awesome. 38's with stock Rubicon axles, geared to 4.88.

This is the reason I’ve decided a swap isn’t right for me at the moment. After blowing the engine, I was using it as an excuse to do the 6.4 swap. $35k base doesn’t sound bad.

But then you need axle upgrades at minimum…maybe RCVs up front and beefed up option in the rear…add $2500-3k. Don’t necessarily need Dana 60s, but still something to factor in.

Don’t have a rubi? Well you need a rubi transfer case…another $2500-3k.

Driveshafts are case by case basis. Although they don’t mention that unless you ask.

$35k turned into $50k for me, and I couldn’t justify it.

Exodus 4x4 --- range from ~32k to 70k+ --- all depends on how many pockets you have to empty I guess. Looks like can even empty one of those Michael Jackson Beat It video jacket's worth of pockets. For me, on the list of "lottery money" things to do. But as noted, once you've opened this Pandora's Box, add 1 ton axle upgrades, etc. probably looking at easily spending 80 - 100K.
