The AEV Harness is the same for 5.7L, 6.1L, and 6.4L conversions. There are two connectors
included that are for the 5.7L engines only and must be tied up on 6.1L conversions.
• The MDS (Gray) connector located at the top rear of block must be zip tied to the har-
ness and will not be used for 6.1L.
• The EGR solenoid connector (black 6-way) located at the front right of engine has a
plastic clip located in the connector which is designed to fasten under the AEV air filter
bracket on any conversions without EGR.
TIP 9:
5.7 conversions can utilize the Grand Cherokee or Commander engine cover however it must
be modified prior to installation using the template provided in Figure 2. For 6.4L conversions,
you can utilize the Grand Cherokee valve covers but the driver’s side needs to be modified.
See Figure 3 illustrating the portion to be removed.

mately 1” of drop, aftermarket springs will vary depending on the manufacturer of the springs.
