Looking good - like that it comes with upgraded underpinnings as well as suspension and hardtop...
Sounds like there are other upgrades besides the engineI always thought this was very easily done since they have been making this engine for the Cherokee. It was a $4,600 upgrade for the 6.4L and currently a $3,400 upgrade for the 5.7L so I'd expect the same.
Right but just the engine portion itself shouldn't be too drastic of a price shock. I'd be great if they offer it in a Sahara or Rubicon as an option for $4,600. I feel aside from the 392 model, other models can get it as well.Sounds like there are other upgrades besides the engine

I was afraid they might...Looks like they removed that story, but I found this on the USA Today site.

So no pricing and order till next year...Looks like they removed that story, but I found this on the USA Today site.

It's a small block. But that nomenclature left the vernacular years ago.I am so out of touch with these new engines but this excites me . So is this considered a big block or a small block?
No......it is merely bringing you dreamers back to reality.From the USATodaySun article linked above:
“Pricing for the Rubicon 392 will be announced closer to when it goes on sale early next year, but it comes standard with 17-inch beadlock capable wheels, leather upholstery, a body-color hardtop and fender flares, adaptive cruise control and other options that would push the price of a V6-powered Rubicon over $55,000.”
This paragraph is a bit of a downer.
Any word on being available in Mojave trim once it is launched in the JL?Since some of the info is already out there, I'll say this - This isn't going to be an engine-only upgrade. This is going to be a Rubicon only model that has just about every available Rubicon option group as standard equipment in the price, including color-matched fenders and hardtop.
Agree ^^^I really, really hope this isn’t a one-year-only thing. I need one but don’t want to buy one next year. But I will if I have to. 39 years without a V8 is long enough to wait
