American Excursion Vehicles does a hemi conversion. The Hemi only weighs 57
pounds more than the stock 4.0

i thought about that, but it would blow nearly my entire build budget for
the first year.

It makes some of us insurance poor, though:

heh....im paying out my ass for insurance despite a clean record.

at this point i think im going to change up my game plan a little. instead
of just a hemi/tranny, i want to find an entire pre '03 2500 series hemi.
those full width 3/4 ton axles will make a great addition to my scrambler.

Or maybe two and half ton Rockwell, and of course leaf springs:

.......those arent leaf springs bill. :-)

come suspension time ill most likely be using a long arm coil suspension,
but its premature at this point....especially considering that i dont even
have it home yet.
