Personally if you are looking a replacing the engine for a other 3.6 I would just fix it and while at it maybe a full custom rebuild, since you look to be on that path.
I do not think you have spun a bearing, if it was the case you should ear it good. If the leak down test is minimal and the...
...I'm looking at new and used engines. I found it interesting that a complete accessorized 2.0T is about the same as a 3.6 long block.
Rubitrux seems to list a complete low miles engine for about the same cost as a brand new Mopar long block. But tail light warranty for it vs Mopar's long...
...House Resort. I did carry one U-joint on the trail for the new larger Dana chromoly axles as well. I bought a spare rear driveshaft from Rubitrux for pretty decent money. I recently added a small pile of hardware for suspension and brakes, just one or two bolts and nuts of the critical...
For that price, you can ship your Wrangler to RubiTrux and have a 5.7 installed as clean and expertly as a factory option.

I second AEV wheels. When I was looking for wheels, i Went to Rubitrux in Boone NC (Jeep mod company). There I was able to look at a lot of different wheels. I went with AEV Borah for a perfect fit. Rubitrux ordered them for me.
“Always” — circa 1960’s-70’s— my group- 3 Chevys, 1 Ford, 1 Studebaker, 1 Buick, 1 Hurricane for Go Devil, 2 stock Hurricanes, 2 stock Go Devils. Swaps Not necessary 2021– 2024, Here we go again ? (non electric) per plan ?
...2021 have they not had one? Engine swaps and power adders for the Wrangler are not something that just started within the past few years.
RubiTrux has been doing v8 swaps for nearly a decade now, so I'm sure they'll be happy about the news if there's no suitable replacement. Same with AMW...
Think it would have to be a RubiTrux or other 3rd party conversion to get a 2dr done. When I ordered this one I was trying to get a Mango color code applied and couldn't get permission for *any* non-standard option at the time. Granted I don't really know anyone in the Jeep brand to chase and...
...shop here in Orlando. Jeepers Den said they’ll be getting there’s in on the 15th and that’s the soonest I’ve heard of. Next quickest was rubitrux out of NC and the pallet they ordered in November will be arriving end of this month. Seems everybody is essentially doing preorders and when their...
...the factory skid plate. Rockhard is the expensive option - they are great products and American made. I bought the first bumper from Rubitrux in Boone, NC. They had a free shipping deal going at that time. The second bumper came straight from Rockhard. Quadratech also has Rockhard...

All with 315`s on them
https://www.rubitrux.com/jl-xtreme-recon-wheels-tires-25-bolt.html $4495 a set without TPMS sensors
...block. But, then I’ve come to realize that most people will continue to drive until the vehicle fails somehow.
BTW, OP, ship your Jeep to Rubitrux and have a 5.7 installed. It runs a little under $30k. Or you can buy a low mile 3.6 take out from them for about $3500 and have it shipped to...
