2dr with bigger engine???

AMW 4x4 will do it for you. Be adventurous, go for the Hellephant swap...

Sounds great, but I found out the hard way there is such a thing as Too Much Power with a 700HP “5” (MD). Can’t even imagine 1000. I was very disappointed having built a nearly uncontrollable suicide machine- sold ?

This should answer your question

808hp in a 2dr would be a scary drive...

Personally, if I were to do a swap in my 2 door, it would probably be a 6.0 LS. I think they are just a lot better value than the MOPAR engines.

When I checked with an in state shop in 21 that did swaps and prominently showed a 392/JL swap that was Not Legal For Use On Public Roadways. The latest Approved swap at the time was a 5.7 truck engine/JK swap. Perhaps it could be done with difficulty but if not approved, big problem.

It can be approved, assuming it follows the guidelines I posted earlier. I would question any shop that doesn't know this.

There's no list of approved swaps, and anything that doesn't get approved by the Bar referee would be considered off-road use only.

Which leads me to believe they got the 5.7 truck engine (only)approved and could duplicate. But haven’t gotten the 392/JL approved. It would be a gamble if you’re not certain of approval. Haven’t checked since April of 21.

I am certain that it is possible. The guidelines are in the links I provided.

CARB doesn't certify all engine swaps for a specific vehicle/engine combination. The referee checks every single engine swap to make sure they comply with the guidelines. You could put any motor in anything as long as it complies with the guidelines (for street use).

I believe they put 60s in the convertions.

In a two door? Hope you like doing wheelies.

Yeah, I miss doing wheelies!

It would probably be easier and cheaper to have a collision shop cut and shorten a 4 dr 392 into a 2 dr.
No emissions headaches

Engine changes are legal in California. https://www.bar.ca.gov/consumer/smog-check-program/engine-changes

Curious to learn stories of anyone that have swapped out their 3.6L with a 392.

I would definitely buy one altered into 2 door with pickup bed.
