 I get a lot of weird letters. Well, they're emails. The only actual letters I get these days are from guys in jail. A lot offer suggestions on what engine readers want to see swapped in a Jeep.

 So, what's your favorite? Keep in mind availability, cost, complexity, and aftermarket support to get it running. Still your favorite? If so, we wanna know.

1. I would like to see a LS Chev in a Jeep JK. I like the LS series so much better than a Hemi. I would love a kit to get on in and have the dash work.....

2. i like the chevy small block in a jk wrangler becuase it would be oldschool because people used to put 350s in old jeeps and stuff, or a ford eco boost v-6, or a svt raptor 6.2 v8, or a duramax instead of a cummins diesel

4. VW diesel. Enough of these Chevy V-8s, see them all the time. Yeah I know they work but still; try being original.

6. The new Ford 5.0 or 3.5 turbo would be cool, if I had any money thats what I'd do.

8. Well, I'm game to see just about anything swapped into an FSJ. Given that, I'm partial to LS and diesel swaps. Maybe a nice Wagoneer with an LQ9 swap?

9. Well....since I'm in the middle of it with my TJ I'll go with a 5.7 Hemi and 545RFE trans.
