Marcus didn’t have any of the older model laying around in the shop to hold you over? Dang man, you are not having much luck getting these parts delivered. Don’t they (RK) know who this is for lol.
Apparently not, I have a mind to tell them though......... 🤣.......nah... it is what it is, hopefully not to much longer..........😎

So...... I have an option for a trade on a 392 at a great deal of maybe an order? Anyway I have my axles on order, my lift on order, a shit ton of stuff I have already done to my 3.6. Wondering if I should drop the cash and say go ahead and order it? Then put the axles and RK lift and everything else onto the 392? Not even sure if that is what I want to do.... the debate..... all this money out there and no parts in hand....

Is it just me or does that cross pipe look like it would get ripped of in 2.5 seconds?

You've already done so much to your Jeep, I'd wait and do a Hemi conversion from AMW, in my opinion you'll end up with a better product in the end.

Assuming the body and frame is worth a 2nd lease on life after my 2.0 miles out, my plan would be 60's w/ 5.13's and arb lockers f&r, 90 series zf 8-speed, an Atlas t-case, and a hemi from AMW.

I found the comparisons between the factory 392 and AMW 6.4 very interesting.

Brother that is the rabbit hole I have been in.... but if I am going to throw that at a Jeep then might as well just find a Demon? LoL I did get a great deal on my Jeep, with a Hemi swap It would still be a very reasonable option....
