I've been watching too much Youtube lately and got the bug to drop a 6.4 into my JKUR. It looks like there's the AMW kit through Rubitrux and Dakota customs makes a kit. Anyone know or researched specific differences? Other kids to consider?

This looks like a do-able DIY for myself minus how to deal with the A/C freon. I guess I have a shop suck it out before I disconnect that stuff and get it recharged when it's complete?

What's the parts cost in total with a new 6.4 crate motor and all the extras? The conversion kits look like $10k. Engine is probably $10k with the extra parts. So is that right I can DIY for $20k or have a shop do it for me for $30k? I'll gladly save $10k have a fun project if that's what it comes to.

Initially I was looking at LT1 swaps but there's so many owners on YouTube with videos about errors, check engine lights, or things not working. I don't want to start a food fight, but that does worry me.

That answered a lot of my questions. Now to keep watching all his videos. Looks like Jeep Speed is a good source for swap parts so far. Looks like probably $15k if I run my transmission and buy more stuff like the full exhaust kit, etc.
