That's what I hear. From *everybody*. I just would really like a V8. I've been dealing with a 40 hp 4-banger for a few years now and now that I'm gonna make the move to a Jeep I wanna go all the way. The first Jeep I ever rode in was my college buddy's CJ and it had a 304 with headers and man it sounded GREAT and had the 3-speed. Torquey...as...hell... Got'sta have one! :-)

i can relate. i just love the grumble of a built mouse through two chamber flowmasters without cats....

The i-6 is torqueier than that V8, has a bigger oil cooling capacity, and if you really want to kick the V8's heinie, see the Hesco or Clifford Performance websites to take the 4.0 out to 4.7 or 4.8. Up to about 50 mph, the greater low end torque means no V8 is likely to stay with you.

I believe you mean the impotent squeaking of a mouse with excess flatulence. Now perhaps if you were to speak of a cammed out rat motor with a set of dumps blocked into 4 inch flowmasters for the street....

id take a mouse any day over a rat, at least in a swb jeep. a mild mouse will give you more than you could ever need, where even a mild rat would bust axles constantly, twist frames, etc.

Nathan Collier did pass the time by typing:

Oh.. and from what I read in the last 4X4 mag they have street legal beadlocks out. Not fakelocks. Didn't buy the zine, but it should be in most parts books shortly.

POSER jeeps dont count. im talking about jeeps you meet at uwharrie, tellico, the rubicon.... :-)

I can speak from experience with this motor... Its got plenty of power. Its never left me stuck half way up a hill or half way through a mud hole. And the new intake/carb/headers/dual exhaust setup add even more power this year. It sounds awesome too.

Happens even in a big Impala. Ripped one traction control bar completely off the axle and just got used to changing the U-joints every other oil change. May have had something to do with driving style. Still, with a big rat you'd only need one gear, as it could move pretty much any load at only 700-800 rpm.

lol......cant argue that!
