There is a guy that is a member of ECO and NA4WDA that has one on order try their sights and you may get him.
Why does your Jeep say Toyota on it?
The obstacle is the path.

AEV has a complete swap kit for a HEMI.

RIPPS does a supercharger kit for the stock 3.8 with a programmer and optional cooler.

Don't know much about these engine blocks, but could look at re-boring the cylinders maybe?  Can you even still do this with modern blocks?

If it's offroad power you want, you could look at Atlas transfer cases or the new Rubi Crawler that Advanced is coming out with.  http://www.jkowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4108

Just remembered that Camp Crocker and Screamin Lizard Customs in the states also do HEMI and SRT conversions for the JK.

 Thanks, I have researched all the places in the states, Just wanted to know if anyone has done one. I rarely offroad the Jeep, it is not my daily driver, Just want to have the 425HP of the 6.1L.  I talked to AEV and the kit they sell comes complete with everything needed less the Motor/tranny. Looks like an easy swap!

By looking at the rigs in your signature, you probably have enough change in the cup holders to finance ANY swap you want. :o

Seriously man....a Viper thats my dream car!  You should post some pics of your stable!  If your gonna do the swap, I'll hand you tools and drool over your tpys
Buy some safety glasses.
You can jackoff with a fake hand but you cant see out of a glass eye.
