[2nd 392]

They didn’t exactly give away my GC SRT either, but they did deal, from about $73K MSRP to $400 under invoice $64,275

Any indications that they intend to put the HO version in a Wrangler at some point, to replace the 392 option when it's run ends?

Just one, the same reason we got the 392– a Bronco Beater! But as stated, another flagship priced accordingly. Just my guess.

Something new, something they can charge more for.

This engine wouldn’t make its way to Wrangler until the life cycle improvement/refresh which could be next year or pushed back another model year. I think it’ll be a bit before we see it available for Wrangler. Get the engine in the Wagoneer, let it shake down, then start putting it in wider release.

I was going to order a 2022 JLUR with 2.0 Turbo next week, but I'd wait a couple months to order this. I'll be putting 42's on it, probably with DSTRAC 70's. I know the Dynatrac 60/80 doesn't fit the 392.

I've got my stock 21 JLR to wheel with until the new JLUR arrives.

I'd wait 3 months if I was sure I'd be able to order then.

I wouldn't touch any new engine for at least a couple years. Good news is we have the 2.0T variant of this now which is plenty for off roading especially with a tune. Hopefully this turns out to be a good engine and hopefully they don't charge an arm and leg for it. I'm thinking they will though being that this is most likely the 392s replacement.

I tried to tell people Turbo engines are the Future. V8s are dead!!

Hope that plasma spray bore lining stuff works better than the Voodoo. Many Voodoos became oil pumpers.

At $2K more than the 392, I guess I'll stick with the 2.0. The 392 is like $10K over the 2.0. The only time I need HP is in the sand, which is 1% of my wheelin. My 72 big block vet will toast any jeep on the street and in the corners.

A. Shouldn't a sports car beat an off road vehicle on the street?
B. If you're talking stock, a 72 corvette was 8.5s 0-60, it literally wouldn't beat any modern wrangler on the street
C. If you're talking modified, I've seen a ton of built track hawks running 9's in the 1/4, the world record being 9.66@145 so I'm guessing your vette is very, very built or maybe it won't beat ANY jeep on the street?
Do we need 500hp in a wrangler? No. Would it be a blast to drive on and off road? Absolutely.

Wow! That’s got to be FCA’s best kept secret! I honestly thought by now FCA had given up on it.

With the output and efficiency of the 2.0T and the 3.6 V6 being so close together, Wrangler had a big hole between those and 392. This inline six fills that void perfectly...and then some...

Buh-bye Bronco...

 

[aldo98229]

PS - I doubt it will fit 2023+ JL2. FCA had to stretch JL by 1.5 inches just to be able to fit the then-new 8-speed automatic. An inline six is going to be physically longer than a V6 or a V8.

I was just watching yesterday a video on why heavy truck makers prefer inline sixes in heavy duty applications

"The standard output Hurricane, Stellantis promises, will offer "more than 400 horsepower and more than 450 lb-ft of torque," at a max of 5,800 rpm. The high output variant will offer "more than 500 HP and more than 475 lb-ft of torque" at up to 6,100 rpm in their initial configurations. Those are Hemi power figures, so fans of the current V-8 may start to sweat. Especially when considering the availability to offer hybrid variants, which are planned, though the engine will not launch with a hybrid configuration. Engineers say the new engines maintain at least 90 percent of peak torque from 2,350 rpm all the way to redline."

I said this yesterday: I think we are coming to a time where a V8 will only be available on 3/4 ton trucks or larger.

This practically confirms that. One of these in a Rubicon just might make me trade in.

Love the Avi! Wonder how that jump ended? That wasn't you was it?

 

[Red Willy]

But.... the 6.4 SOUNDS so much better than an inline 6, V6, and definitely a 4 cyl. Maybe they can pipe in a V8 soundtrack through the speakers.

A friend's. Circa 1978 ish. Spoke to him last night . The wing walker is another friend I haven't seen in 40 years.
