So can we just add a few more pins to the factory harness for the V-10 PCM =) like we do for the 5.2s and .9s?

It's not quite that simple. There's about 18-19 wires total that have to be blended and you have to change the order of the pins on a few plugs.

How does a 700+ lb engine affect balance. Any Dukes of Hazard jump would end up as a nose dive.

That's why you've got the .50 in the back...Google says it's a 712 lb engine.

So a 4.0 weighs about 495 wet 217 lbs. more , it would be like adding an aftermarket steel front winch bumper and winch.

So actually the viper engine would likely be a little less noticeable than a winch/bumper since the weight would be further back ! WOW !

Just LS it.

The 8.3 is not that great of an engine. Not to mention if you break it, the cost of a rebuild will require a loan for most folks.

Well there's always my Ford V-10...damn modular engines are too wide

But then you'd really be SuperDuty swapping your Jeep.

If it's anything like the v10 in my rv the TJ would need a larger fuel tank.

Ours liked to drink oil too.

Ours doesn't use any oil, but you don't pass by any fuel stations without stopping.

Plus I bet the trans weighs a lot more.

47RE was what was used and weighs about 325lbs... Where a 42RLE is about 150lbs...

It was for sale at Cross Jeep Chrysler just recently.
