I'm not sure about the 12-13 vs. the 14-18, but have you seen the crate engines from this swap company? https://www.rubitrux.com/jeep-wrangler-3-6l-pentastar-engine-used.html

 

wow, that's alot of coin.. I found a 2018 for $1950 with 25 miles. Thanks i will call them and ask. only paid 8k for the Jeep

 

This thread title makes me nervous :atomic:

 

update... After speaking to Rubitrux. I found someone doing a Hemi Swap and got his complete 2015 3.6 with 32k for $1500 including a Diablo i2 tuner. . Swap was done in 2 weekends.

 

nice! $1,500 sounds like a way more reasonable price for a used 3.6L engine. congrats on the find! what's the next mod?

 

sweet!! good job! Wish I had the space/tools and knowledge to do a engine swap.

 

Thanks, lucky for me i have a friend who has a home shop and has everything on hand to make any job easy.

 

if the auburn has friction clutch packs i agree with derf unless you are doing your own labor and even then whats your time worth , would say stick with something like ARB

how do you score free beadlocks? nice.

 

Thanks, I won them at Jeep beach in Daytona Beach FL.. spent 20 on raffle tix

 

New top
Evo rear bumper delete
Rock Krawler stock Mod 2.5"

 

People here in the Middle East swap 3.8 to 3.6 due to overheating problems. So, it should work but search further.

 

i was just putting a 2015 3.6 in a 2012 with 3.6.. everything changes over the ecm is different 2015 up, also uses a different oil filter

 

From that engine swap site:

will a 2016 3.6l work on a 2012 jk?
