How long does the conversion take?

In the knowledgebase section of the AEV site it is about a 3 week process that includes testingit for about 300 miles. I would love to have the job of testing the swaps. :D

We like to schedule it for three weeks just in case of an issues with ordering parts. The actual conversion on a JK is only about a two day process, plus on road testing (about 100 miles typ). The TJ took about three - four days but is a much much more complicated swap. The JK is really pretty easy.

What does the swap cost for a JK and the 5.7 or 6.1?

I'd like to know also. Can conversions be done on new Canadian vehicles?

On the TJ it was running $15,000 with a used powertrain, and about $19,000 with all new powertrain. This is also about the pricing from BOR on the JK so I would assume that AEV is very close in price for the JK.

Ive heard prices from $15k-$19k.
