Hi all,
my name is Daniel and I am from Germany.
I'm driving a 2015 Grand Cherokee SRT 6.4 and had now 2 times bad luck with the standard 6.4 SRT engines. (No racing, no hard driving, seems to be a material/heat problem).
The car has now 70.500 miles on it. First engine has been replaced at 65000mls about one year ago. Now I have a crack in a cylinder wall after 5500 miles and no more warranty. So time to thing about a better block.

I read that BGE blocks and hellcat blocks are (nearly) the same. Partnumber is 68166434AD what I am looking for. This block seems to have better coolant channels and a better material of cast.
Will all my nearly new parts from my actual standard 6.4 SRT block fit to this as an easy swap?

My plan is to get only one of this BGE engine blocks and took part by part over.

I think at least I need these things to complete it:
- Rod bearings
- Main bearings
- Thrust washer bearings
- Lower Gasket set
- Upper gasket set
- 2x head bolt sets
- Oil Pickup Tube seal
- Timing chain
- Coolant, oil, oil filter

Will the SRT parts fit? Did I overlooked something?

Thank you for your comments....Daniel

P.s. and only for the little boy inside of me: is there a recommended camshaft to add to get a little bit more power from the original SRT heads, and no need for a tune of the PCM?
