Jeep Wrangler 6.4 Hemi Swap - 8 Speed Wiring And TEST FIRE!!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Full Parts List: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
I'm back in the garage working on the 6.4 V8 Hemi swap for my 2010 Jeep Wrangler JK! I am using a bunch of DIY swap parts from @jeepspeedshop , which is also allowing me to run the 8 speed 8HP70 automatic transmission.
Doing a V8 swap in your jeep wrangler is something that a lot of people dream of, and luckily you can do it at home to save yourself some money. Hopefully these videos will help you out if you decide to tackle this project.
Jeep Speed shop is also offering 10% off to my subscribers if you call to place your order and mention this channel and the videos.
In this video, we tackle alot of stuff! First lets take a look at how to mount the factory Jeep transfercase, youll need to drill out a few holes in the transmission and insert a spacer to help take up some of the play in the larger holes.
Then we have to get our new Jeep speed shop 8 speed shifter floor plate in place, as well as mount the shifter and start up the wiring.
Canbus wiring: This could possibly change depending on year models.
White with black: white with red on 8 speed wiring
White with blue: white with black on 8 speed wiring
Brake input: Pin 6 wire on brake pedal switch
Yellow switched power (Key on and cranking power).
I decided to make my own battery tray, However Jeep speed shop sells a steel bolt in tray, as well as a dual battery tray option if you want dual batterys with your hemi setup.
I used the Barnes4wd battery tray: www.barnes4wd.com/Battery-Box...
Dont forget the discount code jkgear will get you 10% off barnes4wd products!
I know this video has quite a few boring parts in it, however i think alot of this will be very helpful to people over the years.
Pretty much all of these steps will be the same for those who want to do a more budget friendly V8 swap and use the 5.7 Hemi instead of the 6.4 hemi. Either way, both engines will make the Jeep wrangler very fun to drive and will have alot more power than the factory 3.8 or 3.6.
The first startup/testfire was successful and man she is loud!! A good exhaust will quiet it down some and make it sound really mean.
Thanks for watching!

The beginning of this video could not have been any better! The HOA fine gave me the biggest laugh at 6AM.
When Ben says “it’s not really that bad” you can be assured - it is that bad. Just cut this, weld that, install studs here, drill there, buy these bushings, put everything together and tear it about 3 or 4 times... dude is a beast. Edit: just heard you fire this thing up - WOW 😳
I can’t believe I have to wait a week to see this beast roar down the street!!! Watching you channel is so much better than any of the crap shows on TV. Keep the projects coming, so entertaining.
As a 2010 owner with the 3.8 man I need this! Just no time for anything

I'm in the same boat... Think I'm leaning more towards the 392 swap over the LS/LT for the simplicity
Thanks for the shout out! Aka (adventures.of.sarge) Great video!
I have an Optima in my daily driver. 10 years old and still works perfect. Don't know what's garbage about it

@@JKGearandGadgets I guess I need to keep up with the times! My legacy brain still thinks that Optima’s were the legendary battery I needed to pick up when the time comes for the JK. I just put a Duralast in the Mrs ‘17 Cherokee. Maybe I should just stick with Interstate or Die Hard!
I just started watching your videos and the manner in which you explain each process and the details associated with each task are great. Thanks for not skipping over things. It's a great feeling loving what you do, enjoy. Will
Your expression when it fired up says it all. Great content.
That Hemi sounds incredible! WOW!
That sound is something else!! Can’t wait to see it on the road after it is all finished up!
Lmao the garbage battery part got me 😂

@@kshepthedrummer nah, I'm talking before that time. I got rid of my '97 TJ in 2007. So, many years ago. There were many discussion threads on how these batteries went in the sh*tter quality wise after Johnson Controls acquired them. Maybe they have improved since then, but the damage was done for me.

I do know that I left my headlights for 6 hours while at work one night a few years ago and I came out and it started right up lol. I love that specific battery, but when it dies I won't buy another.

Oh Man..I just got back from the Hospital..feeling kinda down...but I saw your Video and my blood pressure is back to Normal again!! Love the sound of that Hemi...Congrats !! Greetings from.. OL Guadalajara,Mexico
Man I’m impressed . I get the wiring an swap is straight forward. But I’ve never had a swap go that clean an first start up. I’ve always ran into problems , wether the motor doesn’t start , having problems with wiring , etc. That was all plug and play it seems. I guess you really did your homework and bought all the right stuff all at once. Good job, makes me want to do a hemi swap now.
IT IS ALIVE!!! Sounds awesome even just with Go Pro sound 👍
You are amazing at documenting and explaining things, very clear, and easy to follow along to
Absolutely love this man. Can't wait to check it out finished up. Awesome discount code for everyone that's really cool thanks Ben.
Great video Ben. Excited to see it finished. Really inspiring and gives us goals.
it lives!!!!!!!
Man that's sweet Ben! Can't wait to see it finished!!
Sounds really good Ben !! Looking forward to your next video . Until next time take care and be safe sir.
You’re too modest! Congratulations on success!

Congratulations Ben😁😁That baby fired right up👍👍
Awesome job !!! Let’s go Ben. I’m amazed how good this sounds
Wow Ben! That test fire got you excited. Bet you can’t wait to finish your project now. ☺️ I can’t wait for you. Get er done man. Thanks for 10% off code.

The garbage battery comment was priceless. Haha. Personally never had an issue with an Optima battery and have had them in a few rigs but have heard many horror stories as well. Guess I have been lucky.

Many times when someone thinks their Optima failed, it actually discharged more than a standard battery charger can recover. Get an Optima charger and most of those can be charged and the battery is fine. Pure lead AGMs are a different animal than a standard battery.
Congrats!!
It’s alive 🙌💪😎
Badass brother 🔥🔥
Damn you Ben for putting this series out :)
Jeeps sounding beasttt
Man... That's a major job!
Pretty cool Ben, she purrs like a lion.
Thanks Ben

i felt that whenever Ben said "Im gonna get a HOA fine in 3,2,1" That kinda sucks man,me and my dad have gotten fines and we got kicked out whenever we did our stroker BBC swap on out 65' chevy and it was cammed so that baby was chomping and it sounded soooo good and we got kicked out from our neighborhood and now were living in a super cool neighborhood yeah we've gotten 2 complaints but no more HOA baby :D
LOVE IT
I did the exact swap sarge helped me on mine as well awesome guy have any question pm me I went through all the issues you can have
Honestly I feel the GM L83 or L96 LT engines with the 10L90-E are a better choice than any of the Hemis. Cheaper overall cost for a much more advanced engine in a smaller package. Nice to finally see a v8 in your JK though and cool video series. 👍👍

They are great engines, and I like the GM engines better, I’m just not a fan of how reliant the operation is on the canbus communicators and modules.

Oh my, you had me till you did the spacers at the transfer case, very curious how that will hold up under torque, and weather those holes will wallow out. Wishing for the best, and that they don't.
Excelente trabajo , pero si le puedes poner subtítulos mejor . Lo felicito desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
🤩 wow!!!

Nice install but Ben I must say being a manual Jeep owner I’m very disappointed you went auto man! Long live the manual. But great job with your install man!

I'm a manual man myself but he might have went auto for fitment reasons who knows I'm sure they're was probably reasoning behind it! I did the B&M shifter and it's way better then the stock JK shifter highly recommend if you don't like sloppy sloppy shifters, SAVE THE STICK SHIFT!!!
Should've ran a bead of rtv or something to seal that hole on the bottom of the shifter plate.
I wish I knew how to do these types of things. I can do basic stuff, but I wouldn't dare swap an engine myself
Nice!!
Nice!!!
Bad ass. Im always building sumthin and we haven't had our jk that long (which if done quite a bit so far) im ready to do a v8 swap just dont know which one yet
