Looks like they are getting ready to turn out a 392ci 470hp version of the 4dr Wrangler. Expected to be in the high $60k range in price.

6.4L Wrangler Hemi

This is the same Hi-Po 392/6.4L engine that goes in the Scat Pack Challengers and Chargers. One notch below the 700hp+ Hellcat models.

Sounds like fun and it's very 'MERICA, but you could buy a new Scat Pack Challenger for $44k and add a nice used Wrangler for that $70k total......

It looks like fun if you have the money to burn.

They will sell everyone they can build.

Sounds like fun until you get someone who thinks they're a professional race car driver in an overpowered vehicle with a higher center of gravity than the sedans.

Not for me, but if someone else want one that's up to them.

I'm still looking for a 60s international scout if anyone has one. I'm being serious.

That is what killed the 304 V8 in the 70's CJ5's. They got real popular and everybody bought one and started driving it like a racecar and pretty soon the bodies were stacking up like cordwood. So AMC started putting the inline 6 and 4 bangers in them. I did some swaps for some guys that had the 304's in them. I pulled out the 304 and stuffed a GM 350 in them. You could do it in an afternoon. The best swap was if you could find a 401 out of a AMX. That would wake a jeep up and you could do that swap in a couple hours. Just unbolt the 304 and pull it out and slide the 401 in and tighten the bolts and hook up the fuel and electrical and you were on the road. I did some swaps on the later jeeps that had the 6'sand 4's but those took alittle longer, but still a blast when I was done.

In certain zip codes the Wrangler is highest volume vehicle on the road. I've been to little towns in recreation areas where every gas station or party store has 10-15 wranglers for rent.

Crazy toy prices these days. Price a factory tricked-out Ford Raptor and see how close to six figures you get.

Got a 63 with sliding windows and the slant 4.

Not sure if they came with other engines....

It must be older than that....

70k is not a bad deal considering how many people go out and buy a 40-50k wrangler and then immediately do a 30k hemi swap. There are at least 3 in my area that did just that. Think I'll stick my straight 6.

Way over-priced, but it's about friggen' time they put a decent V8 into a Jeep.

I'd rather be walking down the road carrying a Jeep hub cap than drive a Scout ever again. Rio7
