    did you put any thought into dropping a chevy engine into it?

    i always fantasized about dumping the old 440 six pack in a jeep. The sound is just heaven. I may still do it.

    Chevy sells all the vette engines direct also. You could get the zr1 supercharged engine and dump it in. Or the new sierra denali 6.2.....that might be the best power plant available.

    a vette engine built for a truck....

    I've seen a few GM power plants in Jeeps online but never close up. I am a big fan of GM performance. But for this build I felt it would be better to keep it Mopar so my dealer guys can service it and I can be confident I'll get it through inspection/emissions testing here in NJ. On re-sale (should it ever happen) the engine body combo is recognizable and all that jazz. Truth be told my goal was never to build a 470hp 6,000lb cast iron and steel tank. I'd much prefer to have a feather light tough-as-nails truck with a smaller power plant, carbon fiber elements, technical alloys, etc. That will be the next one.
